News Review of Current Events the World Over Quezon Inaugurated First President of Philippines?Co ordinator Berry Has Troubles?Reassurances for Business Men?Armistice Day Celebrations. By EDWARD W. PICKARD ? Western Newspaper Union. SEI.F-GOVERNMENT became a real ity for the Philippines on Novem ber 15, according to schedule, and it is now up to the islanders to utilize their independence wisely and safely, with only general supervision by the United States. In the presence of a great throng of dis tinguished persons In the magnificent legis lature building at Manila, Manuel Que zon, veteran advocate of independence, was inaugurated as the first president of the Manuel Quezon commonwealth. Representing theUnited States were Vice President Garner, Speaker Byrns and a large party of senators, and representatives with their wives. After Quezon had taken the oath of office, Sergio Osmena, vice president, and the members of the new uni cameral legislature were sworn in. President Roosevelt was personally represented by Secretary of War Dern, who made a pleasant speech and read the proclamation, simultaneously is sued in Washington, terminating the old government of the islands and es tablishing the commonwealth govern ment which is to lead to complete in dependence of the archipelago In ten years. A cablegram of congratulation also was received from Mr. Roosevelt. Because of the danger of outbreaks by the extremist followers of Emilio Aguinaldo who have opposed Quezon, the constabulary was out in full force, thousands of its members being brought in from all over the archi pelago. The day before the inauguration the legislature held its final session and Frank Murphy, the last of the gov ernors general, appeared before it to review the accomplishments of the American regime that lasted 36 years. "Having found democracy good for itself, 'America believes it will be good for the Filipinos" he said. Mr. Mur phy was then sworn in as high com missioner of the new government. MAJ. GEORGE L. BERRY, indus trial co-ordlnator of the New Deal, is having a hard time co-ordi nating industries. An industry-labor conference has been . arranged for Decern- j her 9 In Washington, but It Is evident that some very consider able industries will not ] be represented. First, the Ford Motor com pany refused cnrtly to send a representative; then the Automobile Manufacturers' associ ation objected to the affair, announcing its opposition to any re George L. Berry M. (?? ?vivai of the NBA, thougn most ujl no members signed the old NBA code; and next came a sharp letter from the National Hardwood Lumber associa tion, one of the country's oldest and largest trade associations, flatly re fusing to attend the conference. The letter, written by J. W. McClure of Chicago, secretary of the association's board of directors, labeled any at tempt to impose a new NBA on indus try as "impractical, unworkable, un enforceable, a menace to respect for all laws and therefore opposed to public Interest." Nevertheless, the conference will be held, and representatives of labor are ?xpected to advocate a plan for li censing industry, a proposal that all government contractors comply with code provisions and the 30-hour week. IF SECRETARY ROPER In address ing the Associated Grocery Manu facturers of America In New York was speaking with authoritative knowledge ?f the intentions of the administration, business may feel considerably reas sured. He said "the breathing spell which we are now enjoying is to be the end of governmental regimentation" He declared business was the "scape coat" of the depression and he upheld 'he profit system. Of Mr. Rooswelt's announcement of a "breathing spell," 'he secretary said: **Thls declaration of the President is clear-cut and concrete. It means sPecifically that the basic program of reform has been completed. It means 7 Hat business no longer needs to feel any uncertainty as to what may come in the future with respect to govern mental measures." According to a Washington dispatch '? Vo?, York Times. Informal or ders have been Issued by President Roosevelt to administrative officials to cut federal expenditures under the 1937 budget to $.700,000,000 less than (he newly estimated total for 1936. As a result, the dispatch says, the lives of many federal bureaus and agencies were reported to be hanging in the balance. The economy wave Is heightened by signs of better business, the Times says. npHAT story, originating with the Deseret News of Salt Lake City, that George Norris had said he would not seek re-election to the senate from Nebraska, seems to have been at least premature. The veteran senator says he will make his decision at elec tion time next year, and not earlier. "A campaign would be a small dis- ' turbance, compared to the trouble my not being a candidate has cost me," he said in Los Angeles. "I have re ceived hundreds of letters from all parts of the United States urging me to run next year." , ARMISTICE day was celebrated In the United States more generally and elaborately than it had been since the first of those occasions seventeen nt-f.a ??? ,\ears ago. vmiei Ul all the ceremonies, naturally, was that at Arlington National cemetery In Washing ton, where many thou sands gathered to hear an address by President Roosevelt. Standing before tbe tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the Chief Ex ecutive paid a brief but eloquent tribute to the gallantry of President Roosevelt America's fighting men In the World war, set forth America's hopes and in tentions for world peace, and announced the imminent signing of a trade treaty with Canada which Prime Minister King had been negotiating In Wash ington. At exactly 11 o'clock the President bared his head and stood silent for a minute, as did millions of his fellow citizens all over the land. The Presi dent next placed a wreath on the Unknown Soldier's tomb. For six hours, afterward, uniformed organiza tions marched up the hill in Arlington and laid their wreaths at the tomb. The celebration in the national cap ital was culminated by a ball ar ranged by the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Congressional Medal of Honor men headed the list of guests, others being cabinet officers, diplomats and high officials of the army, navy and marine corps. Britishers went to the polls in the seventh general election since the World war, to elect a new parlia ment Counting and publishing the vote over tuere ia a deliberate process, so at this writing the re sults are not known. But there was no doubt of the victory of the government forces, though probably they would lose a number of seats. Prime Min ister Stanley Baldwin was unopposed. But the Laborites made a hot fight to defeat Ttnmsav MacDonald Stanley Baldwin and several other members of the Bald win cabinet. The government. In Its campaign, urged support of Its League of Nations activities and Its program of unem ployment relief and stimulation of na tional trade. Liberals and Laborites took issue with the Conservative candidates on national defense questions, with Labor candidates particularly insistent on dis armament and international control of war materials. PnOllOTED by the powerful na tionalistic party WAFD, riotous demonstrations against British domina tion in Egypt broke out In Cairo and other places. Several rioters were killed and many wounded by the police commanded by an Englishman. The WAFD party Insists that Prime Min ister Tewlik Nessim Pasha must re sign. There Is a large Italian com munity in Egypt, and for a long time It has been understood that Musso lini's emissaries have been stirring ud discontent against Britain theriv JAPAN'S apparent determination to dominate northern China hat cre ated another crisis In that oriental country, and Shanghai la Involved for the Japanese have taken advantage of the slaying of a Japanese sailor there and landed a naval nnlt 2,000 strong which occupied the Hongkew section of the city. As the Japanese force began patrol lng with fixed bayonets qnd full war equipment, International settlement au thorities mobilized a White Russian regiment of Cossacks under Col. F. R. W. Graham, British army officer de tailed as commander of the local vol unteer units. The Cossacks, paid by the International settlement, constitute a small standing army for the foreign quarter. The Chinese were terrified and thousands of them fled from the na tive quarter to the International set tlement, believing the Japanese Intend ed military action in retribution for the murder of the sailor. This the Japanese government denied, but It de clared the situation was "serious." THREE Greeks went to London to Invite George II to return to the throne, In accordance with the plebes cite of the Greek people. Deeply moved, he replied: "I shall never forget the past I shall return almost Immediately to my beloved people. May we have divine guidance to bring happiness, peace, and prosperity to our Greece!" VICTOR EMMANUEL, king of Italy, celebrated his sixty-sixth birth day rather quietly because of the war in vhlch his people are engaged in Africa. He reviewed a parade of armed forces, and with him was the real ruler of the country, Benito Mussolini, n D u c e then appeared on the balcony of his Venezia palace to address a great throng of cheer ing citizens in the plaza. He spoke just these two sentences: "The forces you have 6een this morn King Victor Emmanuel lng with all their weapons, and espe cially In their spirit, are ready to de fend Italy's interests in Europe, Afri ca or anywhere. "In one month we have regulated two old accounts (apparently the Ital ian defeats at Aduwa and Makaie, Ethiopia, in 189C) and the remainder will be settled later." Mussolini that same evening sent to the nations participating in the sanc tions against Italy a formal protest against their action, and warned them that Italy would be forced (nto re prisals with serious consequences to the economic world. Dispatches from Home said Pope Plus was making a supreme effort to persuade the League of Nations to postpone the imposition of sanctions, believing this not only would spare the world great economic disorder but also | would Increase tremendously chances for settlement of the Italo-Ethiopian war, which might come through col- J lapse of the Ethiopian resistance. Meanwhile the Italian armies in Ethiopia were advancing steadily to ward the interior from both the north and sooth. The strategic towns of Makaie and Gorrahel were occupied. NOT of vast importance, bnt inter esting enough to command the presence of Secretary of Agriculture Wallace and 100,000 other persons, was the twelfth annual national corn busk ing contest held on a farm at the village of Newtown, Ind. The winner was Elmer Carlsen, twenty-six years old, of Audubon coun ty, who was competing against 17 opponents, the winners and runner ups of nine mldwestern states' con tests. Carlsen shucked 41.52 bushels of the golden corn In 80 minutes. Carlsen set a new world's record, the old one being 30.9 bushels, which mark was beaten also by four others of the contestants. The first prize was a check for $100 given by the Prairie Farmer. ONCE more Jefferson Caffery, American ambassador to Cuba, has been saved from assassination, the intelligence operatives of the Cuban ______ army having dlscov plot on tbe eve ot lta execution. Dispatches from Havana said the army officials believed the plot was nipped by the arrest of Cesar Vlllar, leader of the Confederation .of La bor; that tbe assassin ation was to have taken place when llr. Caffery left the em bassy for borne on No vemoer j, ana lam uu auivmuunca were ready to carry the assassins to a place of refuge.

It was said 29 men bad been sworn to kill Mr. Caffery and certain others.

BURGESS VISITORS TO PADDY'S POND THE hunter who was hiding near the pond of Paddy, the Beaver, hoping that LIghtfoot, the Deer, would come back there and give him a chance for a shot, was a man of patience. Also he was a man who understood the little people of the Green Forest and the Green Meadows. He knew that If he would not be seen he must not move. He didn't move. He sat as motionless as if he were a part of the very log on which he was sitting. For some time there was no sign of any living thing. Then, from over the tree tops in the direction of the So Mr. and Mr*. Quack Swam About Within Ea?y Range of That Terrible Gun. Big River, came the whistle of swift wings, and Mr. and Mrs. Quack alight ed with a splash In the pond. For a few moments they sat on the water, a picture of watchful suspicion. They were looking and listening to make sure that no danger was near. Satis fied at last, they began to clean their feathers. It was plain that they felt safe. Paddy, the Beaver, was tempted to warn them that they were not as safe as they thought, but as long as the hunter did not move, Paddy decid ed to wait. Now the hunter was sorely tempted to shoot those ducks, but he knew that if he did he would have no chance that day to get Llghtfoot, the Deer, and it was Llghtfoot he wanted. So Mr. and Mrs. Quack swam about with in easy range of that terrible gun with out once suspecting that? danger was anywhere near. By and by the hunter's keen eyes caught a movement at one end of Paddy's dam. An Instant later Bobby Coon appeared. It was clear that Bob by was quite unsuspicious. He had something, JuSt what the hunter could not make out. He took it down to the edge of the water and there carefully washed it. Then he climbed up on Paddy's dam and began to eat You know, Bobby Coon Is very particular about his food. Whenever there is water near, Bobby washes his food be fore eating. Once more the hunter was tempted, but did not yield to the temptation, which was a very good thing for Bobby Coon. All this Llghtfoot. the Deer, saw as ' he stood among the little hemlock trees at the top of the ridge behind the hunter. He saw and he under stood. "It is because he wants to kill me that he doesn't shoot at Mr. and Mrs. Quack or Bobby Coon." thought Llghtfoot, a little bitterly. "What have I ever done that he should be so anxious to kill me?" Still the hunter sat without moving. Mr. and Mrs. Quack contentedly hunt ed for food in the mud at the bottom of Paddy's pond. Bobby Coon finished his meal, crossed the dam and disap peared In the Green Forest. He had | gone off to take a nap somewhere. Time slipped away. Thf^ hunter con tinued to watch patiently for Llght foot, and Llghtfoot and Paddy, the Beaver, watched the hunter. Finally, | another visitor appeared at the upper j end of the pond, a visitor in a won derful coat of red. It was Ileddy For. C T.
