C, October 30, 1942. To the President and Congress of the United States. Sik: Pursuant to section 7 (4) of the act of Congress of March. 24, 1934, I have the honor to submit herewith the Sixth Annual Report of the United States High Commissioner to the PhiHppine Islands. The report covers the fiscal year ending June 30, 1942. Because of the destruction of confidential files and records in the High Commissioner's Office in Manila so as to prevent their falling into the hands of Japanese forces which entered the city on January 2, 1942, because of the in- accessibility in Washington, where this report was prepared, of all papers and documents remaining in the Philippines, and because of the lack due to the war of basic statistical data and reports, the present report can be at best but fragmentary and incomplete. It covers a tragic period, when the American and Philippine flags flying over Manila were pulled down and the Japanese flag flown in their place, when the High Commissioner in order to continue to function was compelled to remove with a skeleton staff to the fortress of Corregidor and 2 months thereafter to Washington.

  • THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: WAR AND RESISTANCE: THE PHILIPPINES, 1942-1944 James Kelly Morningstar, Doctor of History, 2018 Dissertation directed by: Professor Jon T. Sumida, History Department What happened in the Philippine Islands between the surrender of Allied forces in May 1942 and MacArthur’s return in October 1944? Existing historiography is fragmentary and incomplete. Memoirs suffer from limited points of view and personal biases. No academic study has examined the Filipino resistance with a critical and interdisciplinary approach. No comprehensive narrative has yet captured the fighting by 260,000 guerrillas in 277 units across the archipelago. This dissertation begins with the political, economic, social and cultural history of Philippine guerrilla warfare. The diverse Islands connected only through kinship networks. The Americans reluctantly held the Islands against rising Japanese imperial interests and Filipino desires for independence and social justice. World War II revealed the inadequacy of MacArthur’s plans to defend the Islands. The General tepidly prepared for guerrilla operations while Filipinos spontaneously rose in armed resistance. After his departure, the chaotic mix of guerrilla groups were left on their own to battle the Japanese and each other. While guerrilla leaders vied for local power, several obtained radios to contact MacArthur and his headquarters sent submarine-delivered agents with supplies and radios that tie these groups into a united framework. MacArthur’s promise to return kept the resistance alive and dependent on the United States. The repercussions for social revolution would be fatal but the Filipinos’ shared sacrifice revitalized national consciousness and created a sense of deserved nationhood. The guerrillas played a key role in enabling MacArthur’s return.

The Ohio State University, Ph.D., 1961 Political Science, public administration University Microfilms, Inc., Ann Arbor, Michigan THE CONFLICT OF POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC PRESSURES IN PHILIPPINE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for tjie Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Harold Edmund Brazil, B, S., M. A» The Ohio S tate U niversity 1961 Approved by Adviser Co-Adviser Department of Political Science PREFACE The purpose of this study is to examine the National Economic Council of the Philippines as a focal point of the contemporary life of that nation. The claim is often made that the Republic of the Philippines, by reason of American tutelage, stands as the one nation in the Orient that has successfully established itself as an American-type democracy. The Philippines is confronted today by serious econcanic problems which may threaten the stability of the nation. From the point of view of purely economic considerations, Philippine national interests would seem to call for one line of policy to cope with these economic problems. Yet, time and again, the Philippine government has been forced by political considerations to foUcw some other line of policy which was patently undesirable from an economic point of view. The National Economic Council, a body of economic experts, has been organized for the purpose of form ulating economic p o licy and recommend­ ing what is economically most desirable for the nation.

  • Reference Shelf June2019 Debate.Indd
    Preface The Arms Debate: American Security or International Turmoil The United States is the world’s most prolifi c producer and distributor of arms and military equipment. Having exploded into the arms trade business after World War II, the United States has since dominated an industry worth an estimated $100 billion each year and still growing. According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute ( SIPRI), weapons sales between 2013 and 2017 were 10 percent higher than from 2008 to 2012. Much of this escalation can be attributed to the on- going effort to combat radical militant organizations and the alleged need to provide weapons to war-torn regions to prevent instability. The United States accounts for 34 percent of all arms sales, an increase from 30 percent in 2012. Comparatively, the United States output of arms is 58 percent higher than that of the next most prolifi c arms dealer, Russia. America’s role in arms trading is controversial. When the United States started dealing weapons during World War I, allied lobbyists and politicians created the perception that the arms trade benefi tted the American middle and working classes. As America progressed as an arms dealer during World War II, it was argued that arms trading was a necessary feature of American foreign policy, enabling the Unit- ed States to exert indirect infl uence over allies and even potential enemy states and providing leverage for essential economic and foreign policy initiatives. Neverthe- less, America has had an active, growing anti-arms trading lobby since World War II which argues that America’s involvement in the industry is immoral and creates more problems than it solves.

  • World War Ii in the Philippines
    WORLD WAR II IN THE PHILIPPINES The Legacy of Two Nations©2016 Copyright 2016 by C. Gaerlan, Bataan Legacy Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. World War II in the Philippines The Legacy of Two Nations©2016 By Bataan Legacy Historical Society Several hours after the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the Philippines, a colony of the United States from 1898 to 1946, was attacked by the Empire of Japan. During the next four years, thou- sands of Filipino and American soldiers died. The entire Philippine nation was ravaged and its capital Ma- nila, once called the Pearl of the Orient, became the second most devastated city during World War II after Warsaw, Poland. Approximately one million civilians perished. Despite so much sacrifice and devastation, on February 20, 1946, just five months after the war ended, the First Supplemental Surplus Appropriation Rescission Act was passed by U.S. Congress which deemed the service of the Filipino soldiers as inactive, making them ineligible for benefits under the G.I. Bill of Rights. To this day, these rights have not been fully -restored and a majority have died without seeing justice. But on July 14, 2016, this mostly forgotten part of U.S. history was brought back to life when the California State Board of Education approved the inclusion of World War II in the Philippines in the revised history curriculum framework for the state. This seminal part of WWII history is now included in the Grade 11 U.S. history (Chapter 16) curriculum framework. The approval is the culmination of many years of hard work from the Filipino community with the support of different organizations across the country.

    Publication Number: M-617 Publication Title: Returns from U.S. Military Posts, 1800-1916 Date Published: 1968 RETURNS FROM U.S. MILITARY POSTS, 1800-1916 On the 1550 rolls of this microfilm publication, M617, are reproduced returns from U.S. military posts from the early 1800's to 1916, with a few returns extending through 1917. Most of the returns are part of Record Group 94, Records of the Adjutant General's Office; the remainder is part of Record Group 393, Records of United States Army Continental Commands, 1821-1920, and Record Group 395, Records of United States Army Overseas Operations and Commands, 1898-1942. The commanding officer of every post, as well ad commanders of all other bodies of troops such as department, division, brigade, regiment, or detachment, was required by Army Regulations to submit a return (a type of personnel report) to The Adjutant General at specified intervals, usually monthly, on forms provided by that office. Several additions and modifications were made in the form over the years, but basically it was designed to show the units that were stationed at a particular post and their strength, the names and duties of the officers, the number of officers present and absent, a listing of official communications received, and a record of events. In the early 19th century the form used for the post return usually was the same as the one used for regimental or organizational returns. Printed forms were issued by the Adjutant General’s Office, but more commonly used were manuscript forms patterned after the printed forms.

  • Notices of the Pagan Igorots in 1789 - Part Two
    Notices of the Pagan Igorots in 1789 - Part Two By Francisco A ntolin, 0 . P. Translated by W illiam Henry Scott Translator’s Note Fray Francisco Antolin was a Dominican missionary in Dupax and Aritao，Nueva Vizcaya，in the Philippines，between the years 1769 and 1789，who was greatly interested in the pagan tribes generally called “Igorots” in the nearby mountains of the Cordillera Central of northern Luzon. His unpublished 1789 manuscript，Noticias de los infieles igor- rotes en lo interior de la Isla de M anila was an attempt to bring to­ gether all information then available about these peoples，from published books and pamphlets， archival sources， and personal diaries， corre­ spondence, interviews and inquiries. An English translation of Part One was published in this journal，V o l.29，pp. 177-253，as “Notices of the pagan Igorots in 1789，” together with a translator’s introduction and a note on the translation. Part Two is presented herewith. Part Two is basically a collection of source materials arranged in chronological order， to which Esther Antolin added comments and discussion where he thought it necessary，and an appendix of citations and discourses (illustraciones) on controversial interpretations. With the exception of some of the Royal Orders (cedulas reales) ，these docu­ ments are presented in extract or paraphrase rather than as verbatim quotations for the purpose of saving space，removing material of no direct interest，or of suppressing what Father Antolin，as a child of the 18th-century Enlightenment， evidently considered excessive sanctity. Occasionally it is impossible to tell where the quotation ends and Father Antolin，s own comments begin without recourse to the original，which recourse has been made throughout the present translation except in the case of works on the history of mining in Latin America which were not locally available.
