CRISIS IN THE PHILIPPINES

A good handbook for the reader who wants to familiarize himself easily with the background facts about our relations with the Philippines, the history, government, economics, commerce, race problems and the effect of the pending Independence Act. She uses Pearl Harbor as her springboard, and her material is right up to the MacArthur stand through January. Then she goes back to review the steps leading up to this, the American Far Eastern policy, etc. Timely -- useful.
