When the Seventy-second Congress passed the Hare-Hawes-Cutting bill for Philippine independence, that was later rejected by the Philippine Legislature, ten Harvard professors wrote to the committees on Insular Affairs to stress the need for abandoning United States military and naval bases in the Philippines if the Islands were to be given anything like real independence. The Seventy-third Congress has just passed the McDuffie resolution granting Philippine independence, and one of the major changes in the new bill is the abandonment of military bases in the Islands and provision for abandonment of the naval bases...
...House passed the McDuffie Bill yesterday with scarcely a murmur of protest, and all signs lead us to believe that the Senate will rapidly follow suit. This McDuffie Bill is a revised version of the Hare-Hawes-Cutting Bill rejected by the Philippine Legislature last year, and it grants the Islands an even more complete independence. The changes in the Bill have been favorably commented upon by the President of the Philippine Senate, Manuel Quezon, and other prominent leaders in that legislature, and it is to be expected that the Bill will be immediately granted the required sanction...
...year ago, when the Philippine Legislature refused to accept their independence on the terms of the Hare-Hawes-Cutting Bill, the principal monkey wrenches in the machines of ratification were the provisions that the United States Army and Naval bases would not be given up to Philippine control, and that a practically prohibitive sugar tariff would be levied at once.

Strict-interpretationist, McConaughy thinks the Constitution has never been given a trial, says it has been warped from the start by the Supreme Court into a shield for special privilege. He starts an elusive hare when he points out that banksters are no new phenomenon. In 1819 the combined "borrowings" of directors and employes of the City Bank of Baltimore exceeded the entire capital of the bank by $100,000. John Jacob Astor used $5,000,000 of Government money for 20 years, paid...
...Divine Moment (by Robert Hare Powel; produced by Peggy Fears Blumenthal). A patrician old spinster (Charlotte Granville) lies in her Newport, R. I. house where the lamps are still filled with whale oil, the bathtubs are tin, the portraits 150 years old. She is briskly sentimental with an octogenarian admiral (William Ingersoll) who has thoughtfully dissembled his love for 60 years, tries to persuade her young nephew (Tom Douglas) to give up his Wall Street career and live with her. He promises to show his fiancée when he finds a girl who does not mispronounce Rockefeller. With these...
