Manuel Quezon argued in Washington and broadcast to his constituents speeches in favor of advancing the date of Philippine national independence to 1938 or 1939. To distribute to masses of voters the proceeds of a U. S. tax that will end with Independence looked suspiciously as though President Quezon was trying to arouse public opinion against his own plan...
