The article presents information about various social and political developments around the world. Twenty-six nations had to accept the constitution of the World Health Organization to breath official life into that agency, and three weeks ago the last necessary ratifications were given by Byelor. Manuel A. Roxas, the late President of the Manila Republic, was a figure controversial enough to have won the simultaneous favor of General Douglas MacArthur and General Tomoyuki Yamashita, Japanese commander-in-thief in the Philippines. His brilliance, energy, and ability were beyond dispute, but his record during the occupation remains a deep gray in spite of all the whitewash that has been applied, both in Washington and in Manila.
