A New Nation: The Philippines First President of Republic Takes Office On July 4 The youngest indegendttnt nation in tlie world is th< .^^hillipine Re- public, whose birth in Manila on July 4 coincided with the 170th birthday anniv rsary of the United States. .More than three centuries of Spanish rule had done little to advance the Philippines toward self-government; only forty-eight years aiter Admiral George Dewey sank the -Spanish fleet in Manila Bay, the Philippines were free, .says the Kew York Times. The Stars atid Stripes fluttered down from its mast in front of the great cream and gold reviewing stand on Dewey Boulevard in the capital city of Manila, as Manuel A. Roxas took office as first Presi- dent of the republic. v President Roxas takes office with an empty national treasury and an enormous budgetary deficit. But the most critical problem that he and the 13,000,000 inhabitants of the 7,000 islands of the Philippines are facing is an imminent shortage of staple foodstuffs that might even reach famine proportions. With most sugar mills destroyed during the war, sugar production for 1945-46 was less than one-tenth of domestic requirements, and for the coming year will still be only 50 per cent of needs. Rice produc tion has been crippled because work animals were eaten by the Japanese; locusts have plagued the country. The Philippine Army has just been presented with $30,000,000 wortii of equipment by the United States. Other .-Vmcrican aid to the Phihppines has come in the form of Congressional authorization of $620,000,000 in grants for recon struction necessitated by the war. "Electric Eye*' Separates Seeds Thj "electric eye", widely known for its kindly service in opening and closing doors for railroad passengers heavily laden with liaggage, has, among its many other uses, one that has been unheralded. This latter use is in picking yellow corn out of whits corn. Since it is desirable to keep the two seeds separate, it was found t!.at the "electric ey«" could do the job much faster and more ac- curately than tile human eye and hand. In describing the system ai work on a western farm, the Rural Electrification .\dministra- tion says the equipment can sort 700 to 800 bushels of >eeA in twen- ty four hours, while previously it had taken forty-six persons work- ing sixteen hours to sort 200 bushels. The 'electric eye" assembly has sixteen units, each of which picks np sixty seeds a second. The eye then "looks at" each seed from two sides and if either side '.i other than white the seed is ejected by a small plunger, whicli moves so rapidly it is back in place by the time the next seed is before the "eve". WINNER OF THE GOLD CUP Sarawak Now A Crown Colony Sarawak. rich and romantic Borneo kingdom of the white rajahs, has become a British crown colony. King George issued a statement stying: "I extend a warm wet- come" to the people of Sarawak and pledge Britaii to "promote your welfare and to bring Sarawak to a higher stage of social and economic development than has hitherto been possible." Christopher William Dawson, formerly of the Mayalan civil service, was appointed chief secre- tary of Sarawak pending appoint- ment of a governor. Sarawak. North Borneo state with 500,000 inhabitants and 300,- 000 acres of rubber plantations, was ceded to Britain by its last white Rajah, 71-year-old Sir Charles N'yner Brooke, under .a agreement whereby he and his three daughters and some local officials receive the proceeds of a $4,000,000 trust fund established from Sarawak funds. The rich kingdom has been tn the Brooke family since 1840, when the Sultan of Brunei gave it to Sir James Brooke .for quellinct an attack liv hoad-lumters Pocket Sun Dials Pocket sun dials arc being pro- duced in the Soviet rone of Ger- many because ol the watch short- age â€" but there's a coiiiplicatior, ac- cording to Radio Hamburg.

("A Six Bit Critic") . , «.. ..â- .«! There's an old newspaper adage whicli runs "The customer's always write, especially when you're wrong." -And in a recent letter a reader puts a mild blast on sports- writers in general, and this one in particular, for what he considers a highly inconsistent attitude. * * • "Vou ^lly^ ttive millions of dol- lars worth of advance publicity to something like the Louis-Conn thing, and create a whole lot of interest in it," he says, "rhen, just as soon :is it turns out to be a stinkeroo, you all try to act so very wise, trying to make out that you knew all the time it was bound to be a flop." * * * Then he goes on to inquire why the sports pages should give so much free space to building up pro- fessional sporting events, which are strictly money-making schemes and nothing else but, when such space is denied to other business enterprises. "I'd just Hke to know what sort of a reception would be given to a man trying to develop, say, a plumbing business, if he went into a newspaper and asked for the same kind of free publicity tbey give to the hockey business," our correspondent concludes. * * « Well, we think it can truthfully be saitl that wc, personally, devote little or no space to advance bally- hoo of any sort. But don't ever get the idea that this is because our code of ethics, whatever they may be, is any more strict than those of any of our contemporaries. It is simply because, in a weekly column of this kind, such stuff would be of little interest to our readers â€" or value to the promoters, for that matter. * « * As to the vast amount of "press agent stuff" appearing in most daily papers, it's rather hard to say just where the line should be drawn. .\ great deal of such material is written by highly-paid experts, artists in their line, amd is a whole lot more entertaining than most run-of-the-mill sports copy. And you may rest assured that if t!ie sports-page reader didn't want such stuff â€" didn't expect it â€" then it wouldn't be there. And ^hat last sentence gets down â- ''^ fairly close to the knuckle of tite matter. When a Toronto journal- ist, the late H. J. P. Good, for the first time gathered together on one page all tlic sports news which had formerly been scattered through- out tl. paper, he really started something. For that was the begin- ning of the modern sports depart- ment which â€" with the possible ex- ception of front-page headlines and the coniic-itrips â€" is probably the most widely and avidly-read sec- tion of any metropolitan journal. And nc>w tlie reatlcr lias come to expect â€" and the newspaper aims to supply him with â€" two. three or even four pages of sports, and this not just at such times as actual happenings justify this amount ot space, but each and every day, week in and week out. .\nd this is sometimes quite a problem For instance, coi a .Muiulay morning a sport*^ editcir may have an all- EuKhind tennis final, a Diamond Sculls rc-ult. a -National golf cham- pionship, a fifty-grand stake race. and a dozen other really outstand- ing eniils to deal with, rwenty- foiir hours later all the news avail- able inaj be that l>o.>ton and Krnoklvn continue to lead their respective loops, and that Connie Mack of Philadelphia and Conny Siiiytho of Toronto both confident- ly expect to have better teams next .â- ,ca^on. • « * Yet, in spite of this, that same vast acreage of white space still yawns â€" those two, three or four pages must be filled. .And if, at such a moment, the harassed sports editor finds on lus desk a nice, himiorous, highly-readable article alioiit a coming championship fight, who can blame itiui for slipping it in? Not us. you may be sure. But wc do think that all sucli material should be. in some manner, tagged as what it is, so that a reader will be in no doubt as to its source, and in no danger of mistaking it for :nlnal newj. For while we have nothing but respect for a good press agent who frankly admits tliat he is one, for the other sort â€" the kind who try to put across slobbery publicity in the guise of signed personal opinion â€" well, it's too blessed hot right now to discuss them. • • • So. for no particular reason, here's the very old tale of Finkel- stein. who started playing the stock market and who, as sometimes happens, did very well at it for a while. .\nd then, as also sometimes happens, the market took a sudden turn for the worse; and one mom- iiiy Finkelstein was called on the phone by his excited broker, with a demand for further margins. • • * But Finkelstein remained quite ( aim. "Listen, Mister, " he said; "would you mind tailing a look by the books and seeing how stood it my account one week ago today?" So the broker, after taking a look, reported that â€" a week previously â€" Mr. F. had had a credit balance of some six thousand dollars. "Veil." said Finkelstein, "did I call you up then" " And hung up! The Race Between Wages and Prices The tragic delusion that the number of dollars a man earns really matters is debauching a continent, says the Financial Post How many dollars he earns is of only relative importance. What is iiuaortant is how much comfort 'anj security he can get with tils earnings; how much his dollars will buy. Each succeeding major strike brings more dollars. Strikers and threateners of strikes presumably feel they are making progress; that their economic status is im- proving. In dog-racing, the whippet never catches the electric hare. It is the same in the race between wages and prices. The inflation spiral is now whirling upward. Produc- tion â€" a vast torrent of goods and services that people want and need â€" is the only fire extinguisher to stop the holocaust, but produc- tion is choked off with strike dis- locations and industrial strife. New Tomato A superman of the tomato patch has been announced by Wisconsin .igricultural experts, a tomato said to be larger, tastier, hardier than the best of current varieties, says This Week. 'The fruits grow to uinform size, then ripen evenly and the plants are immune to blos- som-end rot and have resistance to other cominon vine diseases. Fhc yield averages 30 percent more than the preset "best" lotiMtoes 't>er acre.
