Senate President Quo lon recently referred to Osmena aa * "the greatest Filipino since ltlxal." The personal relation* between Os mena and Quezon are probably without a parallel In modern polltlce. They ■J have been the leading polltlcul figure* In the Islands for 12 years, yet there | ha* never been the slightest Indication Of rivalry between them. Throughout their college life as well as their long political service each has refused to he a candidate for any poaltlon that the Other aspired to.. During the yeare Quezon was the Philippine delegate In the American Congress he won the esteem and con fidence of both the Republican and Democratic aides of tbe chamber.

PALMER BLOCKED GERMAN SCHEME No Civilian Service During the War Had So Farreaching an Effect as That o1 Our Cus todian of Alien Property. BROKE INDUSTRIAL STRANGLE-HOLD Under Democrstlo Presidential Prl. Mary Candidate's Administration the Vast and Essentisl Commercial Operations of Germany Were Taken Over and Profitably Conducted for the Benefit of Thie Country. Washington. When he complete story of the Great World War is writ ten one of its most Interesting and thrilling chapters will disclose the ef fort of Germany to accomplish the In dustrial conquest of the United States. Few persons, even those high In the Commercial life of the nation, had ■lore than a smattering of knowledge of the great lengths to which German Influence and capital had gone to gain a trade supremacy over this country and make America a comnterclul and Industrial vassal of the Fatherland. It was not until Mitchell Palmer, now Attorney General of the United States, became Allen Property Cus todian that the extent and ramifica tions of Germany's activities in this direction was revealed. Not only was It learned that Germany controlled ab solutely the chemical and dye trade, which are so closely allied ns to con stitute practically one Industry, but her tentacles were found In wireless, In metals. In wirglcal and optical Instru ments, In textiles. In furs, magnetos and even In lumber and general manu facturing. The chemical and dye Industry Is the key Industry to scores of other In dustries carried on by Americans, so absolutely essential are chemicals and dyes to successful manufacture In many llnea. Its Importance can enly be fully appreciated by those who are engaged In the trades themselves, but it» effect extends down to the bum bleat citizen. Allan Property Sold to Americans. No civilian service during the war bad as farreachlng effect upon tbe life aad well being of the American public as that performed by Mr. Pulmcr ns the custodian of alien property. Un der his administration the vast and eaaentlat Industries which Germany controlled in the United States were taken over and operated during the war for tbe benefit of this country, and are now being sold—many of them hava been sold already—to bona fide I American dtlxens. In fact, under Mr. Palmer's direction the entire German Industrial organisation In the United States has been thoroughly American ised. When the office of Alien Property Custodian was created under tbe Trad ing with the Enemy Act of Congress It was thought that its duties would be perfunctory an* Its accompUsh- I ments of little consequence. 80 It | might have been under the admlnjs The Fighting Quaker tratlon of-a man less imbued'with the : spirit of Americanism and determined 1 to use it to the fullest advantage of his fellow countrymen. When the act was passed there was little accurate or definite knowledge of the extent of German Investment* In the United States. While they were known to be large, they were not gen erally suspected of being either power ful or unfriendly to American Inter ests. Consequently the original meas ure made the custodian a mere con servator, restricting his powers of dis position of enemy property to cases where it was necessary to make sales In order to prevent waste and to pro tect tlie property. If this situation had remained unchanged this cotjptry would have found Itself in the anom alous position of carefully protecting for the enemy the great industrial und commercial nrmy which Germany hud planted here with hostile intent. More than that, we would have been forced to account at the end of the war for enormous profits made by many of these businesses, profits due almost wholly' to the war conditions for which their owners and their own ers' friends were responsible. Palmer Put Teeth In Law. But Mr. Palmer, when he got on the Job, had teeth put Into the law. He induced Coagress to amend the law giving the Allen Property Custodian the general power of sale, to the end tlijit the German Industrial army, on American soil might be captured and destroyed. Thus, Instead of becoming a mere conservator of enemy property, he made his office a great fighting force In the war. He took over and became the trust officer for more than 33,000 estates aggregating a combined capital of more than $800,000,000. Un der his direction the most of this vast property has been sold to sure enough Americans, and the remainder of It will be sold as purchasers are found and the money turned over to the United States Treasury, where It will await disposition by Congress. Enemy Investments in America Tided themselves Into two classes. The first, private Investments of In dividual German* who were attracted by possibilities of financial return and who put tholr money In n small way Into Industrial enterprises and real es tate. Tlio second class were Invest ments which were made by combined German capital having close a Oil* tlons with the great political and finan cial powers of the empire. The latter aonght dominance and ta-qucntly secured control of great ea tnhllxhmenU. Theae investments were far-flung line* of advance for German kultur, and so great had they become with the opening of the world war that It Is DOW perfectly plain that Germany lived In high hopes of the assistance which woold coma to her from tha or ganization she had bnllt up on side of the Atlantic. These Invest ments were largely In lndustrlea which accepted the hospitality of American lawa to become American corporations, but which were never. In fact, Ameri canised. In many cases the factories, warehouse* and offices of these ene my-owned concerns were mere spy centers before America entered the war, and would hava been nests of se dition if the Alien Property Custodian had not acted promptly In their sels nre. The purpose of Germany In main taining most of them her* was such j ** t0 jMttfy their complete erm«ti«Wf- my tortus uTtrto tave been' dollerttf amounting to nflWsrds of one and three-quarter millions of dollars. These hitherto tinrevealed taxes have exceeded by 00 per cent the entire cost of opera ting office. -> .PALMER FAVORS PRIMARIES. Enable People Thsmeelves, and Not ■SMIS, to Control Convention'* Action. To thoae receptive candidates for AM) Presidency who hare been "thrusting aside the crown" and demanding that delegates to the National conventions bo left unlnstrocted and free to rot* for whomsoever they please, the do - trlne enunciated by Attorney General Palmer at Harrlsbnrg Is likely to come as a distinct skodc. Mr. Palmer in dulges In no camouflage, bat says, with all the openness of a leap year pro- ' posal, "I can see Impropriety In the fraak stateneat that I weald be pleas ed If the Democratic voters of my state | shall see fit la the primary election to declare their preference for my nomi nation by San Francisco convention." In both political parties there are a mnnber of candidates for the Presi dency who are actively engaged, under cover, In trying to round up sufficient strength to land the prize when the moment for compromise arrives. They do not wish to have delegates Instruct ed for them; on the contrary, they ad vocate sending all delegates unlnstruct ed. Not so with the Attorney General. Once he jumped Into the presidential contest, he went skirmishing for dele gates—lnstructed delegates, Palmer delegates. He say* s "I am not In accord with the sug gestion that the people shall take n« part In the campaign and that un pledged delegates to the national con vention should be left*perfectly free to nake such a nomlflatlon and write such a platform as political expediency or the plans of the party leaders at the time may dictate. To deny the people their right of selection would bo a dis tinctly backward step which I would be very sorry to Me our party take." There Is something In that statement I calculated to appeal to the'voter. From it he may reason that If delegates ate sent to the convention Instructed to support a candidates they will stand by that candidate until It Is apparent he has no chance Of being nominated; whereas If • majority of the delegates are unlnstructed there Is a splendid opportunity for the bosses to exercise their power and manipulate the nomi nation to their liking, regardless of the wishes of the rank and Die. —Editorial la Washington (D. 0.) Post. PALMER PRIMARY CAMPAIGN WORK Most Influential and Shrewdest Political Leaders Conducting Attorney General's Pres idential Candidacy. Washington.—The statement by At torney General Mitchell Palmer to the Palmer Stat* Campaign Committee at Harrlsburg, Pa., that he would be glad to have his name go before the electorates of the several States whose election laws provide for presi dential preference primaries, was backed np here by the announce ment of the formation of the Palmer Primary Campaign Committee. C. C. Carlln, for fourteen yean member of Congress from the 'Alex andria, Va., district, has been chosen as chairman of the newly formed committee. Mr. Carlln was an Inti mate friend and co-worker with the Attorney Qeneral when the latter was a member of Congress. Both were stanch supporters of the Wilson policies in the House. J. Harry Cov ington, treasurer of the new com mittee, was a member of Congress 1 from tbe Eastern shore of Maryland ' for ten years. He Was appointed chief Justice of the Supreme Court of tbe District of Columbia by Prealdent Wil son In 1914. MaJ. Oliver P. Newman, former 1 commissioner. Is secretary of the : committee. He is a newspaper man ; whose friendship with President WU | son dates fr»m the beginning of the 1 1012 campaign. It was then that he ' became a close personal and political ' friend of Palmer In the pre-election ' campaign for Wilson. Wilbur W. Marsh, of Waterloo, 1 lowa, will be chairman of the West : era committee. He is the Democratic 1 national committeeman from lowa, ' treasurer of the national committee, 1 and a successful banker, stockman and publisher. Marsh was for Clark for Prealdent in 1812. Naturally the great initial strength behind the Palmer candidacy Ilea la ' Pennsylvania, his native State. For -1 mer Congressman Bruce F. Bts fling, ' Joseph E. Ouffey, of Pittsburgh, and Vance McCermlck ef Harrlsburg, former Chairman of the Democratic 1 National Commltee, have taken charge of tbe campaign for Palmer delegates ' end say that a solid delegation of 76 pledged votea Is already more than as sured. Ouffey is a nephew ef the for mer Democratic national committee man, James Ouffey of Pennsylvania, bnt haa always opposed his uncle, whe belonged to the old wing of the party.
