P. I. President Quezon Sets Up
Government-In-Kxile Wash.. I).U.
WASHINGTON—A few years after Admiral Dewey
captured the Spanish fleet in Manila Bay, a young Fil
ipino patriot came to live in Washington. He was a
very unobtrusive figure, sleeping in Rock Creek Park
when the summer nights were hot and attracting no
more attention than the average Filipino citizen.
Few who knew him then, ever dreamed that some
day he would become the first President of the Philip
pine Commonwealth. Even fewer dreamed that some
day he would be forced to lead a pilgrimage out of.
the Philippines at the point of Japanese bayonets. But
the other day President Manuel Quezon—-in—exile—
stood on the rostrum of the United States Senate and
delivered a speech which probably touchd more hearts
than Churchill, Clemencuu and other famous Senate
visitors. Quezon said:
“I saw- the Stars and Stripes pulled down.”
It was the first time the Stars and ^Stripes ever has
been pulled down by force of arms in the entire his
tory of the United States. And President Quezon has
now came back to Washington, back to the scene of
his youth, determined to pull the flag up again.
Irked At U. S. Failure
When you meet this nervous, restless dynamo of
energy, you can understand why he was elected first
President of the Philippines and why lb million now
look confidently to his Governmcnt-in-exiie to lead
them back to freedom.
“The Vice-President will be shocked at me,” says
Quezon with a twinkle in his eye as he sits down to
lunch, “but 1 am going to be informal. The Vice
President thinks I should be more formal. And when
he becomes President — which he will be in one year
— he can have lots of formality. But for the time being
Jet's take off our coats.”
Vice-President Osmcna. seated across the table,
gvim good-naturedly, also takes oft his coat.
“When I was in the Philippines and our people w-ere
; pealing daily for help against the onrushing enemv,
I confess I was bitter against the United States,” Presi
dent Quezon says quite frankly. “And when we heard
that more troops had been sent to Ieeand at a time
when just a few planes might have turned the tide of
victory for us, then a lot of us were bitter. But now
that i have been in Australia and the United States,
and see the entire war picture, I understand and ap
prove. I realize that you have to make some retreats
in order to achieve victory. But meanwhile our Fili
p.no people are itching for the day when we can raise
the flag again in Manila.”
1*. I. Government In Exile
President Quezon, who has known most members
of the P. S. Senate intimately for many years, already
has rallied his government, holds cabinet meetings in
Washington and is laying plans for the return to
Manila. One tiling that irks him is the dictum put for
ward by Francis Sayre that all letters from Quezon to
the. U. S. Government must clear through Sayre. It
so happens that Quezon knows many U. S. officials
better than Sayre, can call a score of Senators by their
first names, is on intimate poker-playing acquaint
ances with others. So the idea of using the stiff pro
tocolie channel of the High Commissioner annoys him
to the core.
As a matter ol fact, many U. S. officials believe that
earlier relations with the Philippine President, espec
ially at Corregidor, were not handled too diplomatic
ally. Friends of Quezon say that during the war
weary weeks that he was cooped up on Corregidor,
High Commissioner Sayre came to him and inquired
regarding his plans for leaving. Quezon said he plan
ned to go to the southern islands, unoccupied by the
Japs, and rest. "The Filipinos would never surrender
me up, he explained, “and 1 could stay there inde
finitely. But Commissioner Sayre argued that they
both should remain in Corregidor to the very end.
"We should die if necessary,” said Sayre, proposing
that they set an example of courage and resistance to
the Filipino people.
1 hi* next day General MacArthur came to see Presi
dent Quezon, as he did every day. and Quezon told him
ot his conversation with Commissioner Sayre. “That’s
tunny,' remarked MacArthur, “Sayre was in to see
me just two or three days ago wanting me to cable
Washington for a submarine to take him home. I re
fused, but told him that if he wanted to draft the
cable himself 1 would send it under his name.”
Shortly thereafter Admiral Rockwell sent a sub
marine from nearby waters. By this time relations
between Quezon and Sayre had become so strained
that Quezon and Vice President Osmena refused to

THE YEAR IN RUSSIA
The Red Army, so often “an
nihilated" in German communi
ques, ended its first year of the
war last Monday, the anniver
sary of Hitler’s surprise invasion
of Russia.
Despite great territorial gains,
the Nazi armies were utterly un
able to accomplish the purpose
of their campaign, the destruc
tion of Slavic military power. To
day, the Russians are better pre
pared for a Summer of war than
in 1941.
German officials lay great
stress upon the unexpected ad
vent of last winter, which halt
ed the* march toward Moscow,
and assorted that the defeats of
the five months of winter were
due to the terrible cold.
Even Hitler, in January, spoke
of the army’s “four months" of
horrible winter in Russia. He
then predicted. however, that
when the ground became firm,
the N'az's would "move onward."
Four months have elapsed but,
except or a victory in the Kerch
Peninsula. Der Fuehrer has
found little comfort on the East
ern baltlefront.
Last year's drive against Kus
i sia as delayed in order to com
plete the conquest of Yugosalvxa i
and Greece. This year, tin* is
passing, as Churchill taunts, but
the Nazi offensive has been slow
to get results.
leave on the same submarine
with Savre. And s;noe Press!- j
dent Roosevelt some time before1
had invited Quezon to come to i
the United States, G n. Mae Ar
thur intervened and sent the
Philippine President and Vice
President out of Corregidor first,
taking them to the southern is
lands. Later the sub came back
for Sayre.
Daring Submarine
Quezon pays great tribute to '
Commander Chester C. Smith of
i Boise, Idaho, of the submarine,
who piloted his trip south.
"He looked so young and inno
cent," says Quezon. "Yet when
he saw a Jap transport near
Manila while he was on his way
, to pick me up. he launched a j
torpedo and sank it. Later I said ,
to him: ‘Commander, don’t get'
to many temptations about sink
ing Jap ships from now on.' ’
Quezon also pays tribute to
(Secretary of War Stimson. who'
was Governor General of the j
Philippines under Coolidge, later i
Secretary of State under Hoover. j
"Secretary Stimson was a good !
governor of the Philippines be
cause he trusted us. And as soon ■
as we realized that, we trusted !
him. If the British had trusted 1
him the same way in 1931 when
the Japanese invaded Manchuria
there never would have been a
•war in Europe nor would the
Japs have hauled down the Stars
and Stripes in the Philippines."
Today President Quezon, who j
really appreciates liberty and '
democracy because he has fought
for them, is dedicating his life
to hauling the Stars and Stripes
j UP again. —- "The Washington
