A dispatch from Manila, May 8, 1936 as revealed by the Associated Press. President Manuel Quezon is dissatisfied with the trade provisions of the Philippine Commonwealth. He proved his dissatisfaction with the present trade relation between America and the Philippines by his emphatic assertion.

He said that if there are no prospects of improving the economic provisions of the Philippine Independence Act, he would prefer immediate independence rather them wait until the ten year transition period is ended.

Quezon is quite sure and certain according to his idea that the sugar industry can stand on a levy.

"If we can not export our sugar free of duty to the United States - that is, if we should lose the American market for our sugar and tobacco for instances - I would ask for immediate independence", he declared.
