It is well to recall that the conversations leading to
the conclusion of the treaty were first started in 1949
when President Quirino instructed me to proceed from
New York to Washington to broach the idea to the of
ficials of the State Department. They were revived
during our negotiations on the peace treaty with Japan.
To allay our people's fear of the recurrence of Japanese
aggression and put Philippine-American security arrange

Quirino instructed me to make a formal proposal to the
State Department through the then United States Am
bassador Myron M. Cowen of a defense pact. After the
idea was further developed in the light of similar con
versations with Australia and New Zealand in August
1951, and following a series of radiograms exchanged
between Manila and Washington , a formal defense treaty
was agreed upon by the two governments.
Although Secretary of State Acheson later observed
that the negotiations were brief " because of the under

the negotiations were conducted by our government with
the care and attention which the importance of the

added cause for concern from the same source. Despite
Japan's avowals of having embraced the democratic cause ,
it cannot be said that it has completely regained the trust
of the countries it had ravaged in its last bid for empire.
But Japan , whether it goes communist or not , will re
main a problem to us for another reason. I refer to the
possible revival of Japanese economic hegemony in this
part of the world. Deprived of its pre-war supplies of raw
materials with the loss of China and Manchuria , Japan
will have to depend on sources in Southeast Asia . The
United States believes that Japan should get back on her
feet economically in order to be able to resist aggression
and to discharge its role as a bulwark of Democracy in
the Far East. The Peace Treaty signed at San Francisco ,
which the Philippines has not yet ratified , sets the pat
tern for Japanese economic recovery which includes ade
quate safeguards to keep Japanese economic ambitions
within bounds. The fear of the countries in this area , how
ever, is the possible resumption by Japan of its former
role as the workhouse of Asia and their relegation to the
status of mere suppliers of the raw materials necessary to
feed Japanese factories. They would not want Japan to
achieve the economic objectives she went to war for with
out again having to go to war at all. Their concern in
this connection has only been increased by the admis

Nevertheless , Mr. Tsushima's portrayal of the diffi
culties blocking full satisfaction of the Philippine claim
was an eye-opener. If the claim were accepted and paid
for in ten years , he said , it would mean that Japan, as
suming that it had a population of 100,000,000, would
shoulder a per capita burden of 2,900 yen . This would
require an increase in tax rates of 40 per cent.
The Japanese served notice that they were ready to
take immediate steps to implement the " services” clause,
specifically a survey of salvage work on sunken vessels,
but their position on the Philippine demand was un
yielding.
The enormity of the Philippine claim appeared to be
the biggest single factor that stopped the Japanese. As
Mr. Elizalde, explaining the slowness of the negotiations,
later pointed out , when a person was handed a bill as

During the year 1947, which was the
first year that payments in any consider
able amount were made , the total was 22
million dollars. In 1948 the total jumped to
35 million dollars ; in 1949 it reached 56
million during 1950 and 1951 it was near
ly 60 million dollars . During the first three
months of 1952 it was over 20 million doi
lars , which would indicate a total for 1952
of about 80 million dollars . A good amount
of the increase has been because of the ad
judication of new claims , the originai

United States that the total cost per claim

The thing that makes the joint economic develop
ment program of the two nationsso promising is that the
two countries can supplement each other with the re
sult that a stronger program is possible than would be
the case with either nation working alone. The United
States labor force is now fully employed and already hea
vy drains have been made upon American soil and miner
al resources to meet the defense needs of existing world
conditions. A limited amount of dollars spent in the joint
Philippine program using Philippine labor and Philippine
soil and mineral resources will increase total production
of the free world and thereby strengthen the forces of de
mocracy. At the same time it will speed the day when
Philippine political independence will be matched by eco
nomic self- reliance .
It takes time to get a major economic development
program under full swing. Dollars and pesos can be ap
propriated but it takes time to build a well-coordinated
staff of experts competent to consider wisely the hun
dreds of proposals submitted for development and to give
first priorities to those projects which will make most ef
fective use of the funds available. Under the existing con
ditions of full employment in the United States which
now prevail, it is extremely difficult to recruit technical
experts, particularly in certain specialized agricultural,
medical and industrial lines. The ECA Mission has been
striving diligently to secure an adequate staff of techni
cians since the program got under way with the signing CONSIGN

the importation been effected by the dis

so that more dollars have to be used to
