Should Not Leave US In Captain Craig's opinion the Philippine Islands should remain under the American flag after 1946. Certain governmental and political adjustments may be necessary, but to give up the islands is suicidal, he avers. "The Filipinos in their hearts dread an independence which will be shortlived with Japan standing net in hand ready to capture these properties at their first flight from the American eagle's nest." Captain Craig explains that the Filipinos are akin to the Japanese. In one city there are 60,000 Japanese registered, while it is estimated another 60,000 live there unofficially. The other races, however, living on the Philippines are alien and antagonistic toward the Japanese. Will Not Fight? Craig believes the Japanese will not fight the United States for the Philippines if they can help it, but will try to atain them by "economic penetration." Among the pictures Craig will show are those of Japanese schools in the Philippines with children pleiding allegiance to their Emperor, engaging in military drill, and in every way keeping the tradition of their mother country, at the same time under the protection of the United States.

Oread is the winter of 1931. He recalls in particular one horrible night in March when he had to stand out in front of Hoch auditorium in sub-zero weather and herd traffic on its way at concert time. Summer school students are far and away worse traffic violators than regular session students. The blame for this, George lays at the feet of the general atmosphere of inertia which pervades Mount Oread in midsummer. It's just too much trouble to hunt out a parking place. He spends his spare time contemplating his very fine collection of old clocks, the oldest of which is aged 115 years.
