This article focuses on the book "The Philippine Answer to Communism," by Alvin H. Scaff. In that part of the world, where democratic forces are very much on the defensive, the Philippines, as a young democracy, has shown that it can not only put up a good military fight, but that it can also put into action, a more positive plan of providing farms for the landless, and thereby striking at one of the toots of Asiatic, communism. This resettlement program, called Economic Development Corps. was set up in 1951 by the then Secretary of National-Defense, Ramon Magsaysay.
