...oratorical field day in five years, the choicest paeans were reserved for the newly-created Philippine Republic and the American colonial policy that sanctioned its independence. But as Washington lays down the white man's burden, and as Congress examines our colonial past in the light of its new halo, this same body might do well to review the legislation that has put the Roxas government on its own. This legislation might throw a sudden chill into Filipinos warmed with the first taste of self-rule. For the Bell Bill has given Manila just eight years grace from American tariff...
With the help of two other ex-G.I.s (onetime Navy Pilot Jack Hill, the 440-yard free-style champ and Sprinter Halo Hirose of the famed 100th Nisei Battalion) Ohio State swam off with the team championship.

...captured Japanese film, moreover, this little picture gives unusually telling emphasis to the fact that it takes two to make a quarrel. (The Japanese film, incidentally, shows the strong ultraromantic influence of Nazi documentaries, which try by melodramatic low-angling and gauze-and-halo effects to turn human beings into creatures out of a legend.) The film is probably the clearest exposition of the rhythm and strategy of a battle that has yet been put on a screen for laymen. Its deeply moving close: an airman, dead in his shattered plane, is given sea burial...
