~ SAYRE PLEADS ~ FOR SWIFT AID

MANILA, P. I., Dec. 13 CSatur- t day) . CA'l--Swift help for the Japanese-invaded Philippines was urged f tonight by Francis B. Sayre, United States high commissioner, who declared, "We on the front line are fighting to the death, for we have abiding confidence in our cause nd in our leader." "We know you back home will

send us help and you won't permit divided counsels or capital and labor disputes or red tape or anything else to delay your getting ef- ~ fective help to us before it Is too late," Sayre said In a radio broadast to the United States. "We are in the fight to stay,"

he said. "War enjoins upon us all : Action, action, action.

"Time is of the essence. Come on, America!"

1 n Sayre paid high tribute to Fill~ pinos fighting alongside Americans,

declaring "They are proving with their lives the loyalty pledged to I the United States by President Manuel Quezon."

"Out here on the firing line we have gone to grips with reality," the high commissioner said. "We have seen Japanese squadrons of

lanes shining in the sun, dropping 11wift death and destruction upon~ portions of Manila and upon CaTite, across the bay.

'!TM~n are fighting and dying for 1 America and American ideals. The t American army and navy are on ~ the job." t

Dear Mr. President:

Although I do not believe in war under

/

any circumstances, I do myself t he honor to congratulate you on the magnificent addresses which.you have made to the Congress and the people of the USA this week.

On one point I would r espectfully offer one suggestion. After living five years in China, I l earned that when one us es the word Manchu-kuo, it is

Ia tacit recognition of the Japa.nese conquest of t hat country. In order to avoid that expression which pains our Chinese friends and a l lies, it is only necessary to use the term Manchuria. Confirmotion and explanation of t his point should be easily avai lable at the Chi nese embassy .

Respectfully and sincerely yours,

Frank W. Nevnnan
