Baguio: The Philippines Simla. By R.M. Woolley caption title

19055191N.p. 1905. About very good. 3pp. rectos only. About 900 words. Folio. Typescript with manuscript corrections and notations. Light wear and soiling slight creasing. Together with two silver gelatin photographs. A short but interesting essay on the mountain city of Baguio. It reads a bit like a travel article or potential newspaper puff piece for tourism and has been edited by hand with manuscript notations and corrections. It opens "Somewhere 'round about Petersburg the Czar of the Russias has what he calls his winter palace; down in Indian the English have what they call Simla their summer capital and here we Americans have Baguio." The author goes on to discuss the oppression of the tropics and therefore the need for cooler cities to enable functional government discussing the needs of the "white man" for livable conditions in such a place: "In the Philippines there are some months of the year that are extraordinarily summer summer in all the sense that the word implies summer until one can't rest and do it comfortably. It is during this time that the summer capital comes in as a life-saving station for the overworked and rundown public servant and such others as care to take advantage of the rural pueblo. . drudging all year in a comparatively warm atmosphere and then to be hit with a blast that seems like a draft from the furnace of the place that has its main thoroughfare paved with good resolutions is more than the average Anglo-Saxon can stand." He continues: "Shortly after the arrival of the civil commission in the islands the Governor wasn't long in deciding.that the English were pretty wise in having their summer capitals. He also decided the Philippines must have one. It was necessary if the white man was to stay indefinitely."<br /> <br /> He describes the process of locating Baguio in the pine forests and establishing a small town there despite the lack of a road and precipitous ascent to the area: "The committee reported the climate fine incomparable just like that of the United States in late fall and that one had to sleep under heavy blankets at night to keep warm. . despite skepticism . it proved a fact and one that was a blessing. Think of the pleasure of residing in the Philippines where flies seldom bother where mosquitos as a rule are few where patent leather shoes never crack.and having a delightfully hilly resort not ninety miles away to go to when one's spleen enlarges from a languid life or the malaria attacks with unrelenting persistence." He goes on to note that it costs nearly as much to go to Baguio as it does to travel to China "so that its full benefit has not yet been felt by the more humble in life". The typescript is accompanied by two photographs of the Philippines one depicting a trail through a pine forest presumably around Baguio and the other showing a Filipino woman being carried by two Filipino men in a sedan chair. unknown

ARCHIVE of CORRESPONDENCE Between The COMMONWEALTH Of The PHILIPPINES And OFFICERS Of The U. S. HIGH COMMISSIONER of the Philippines. Primarily Concerning Aerial Photography. 1937 - 1940

194044229Manila 1940. Letters housed in a file folder attached at top with two prong paper fastener. Age-toning & staining. Fastener rusted. Folder front cover chipped & detached. A VG cache. 52 leaves most with typescript to recto only. ~ 10-1/2" x 8-1/8" <br/><br/>A cache of 40 typed letters and TLs exchanged between the Office of the President of the Philippines and various officers of the U.S. High Commissioner of the Philippines many on official letterhead and some marked "confidential." The letters ordered chronologically chart the negotiations defense concerns and sometimes uneasy power sharing between the two administrations in regards to the rules and regulations governing aerial photography of the islands. Issues discussed include the advisability of allowing aerial photography by outside entities the feasiblity of specifying no-fly zones for aerial photography without interferring with commercial flights enforcement efforts and the powers afforded the two administrations. The majority of the letters expressing the Commonwealth's position are from and signed by Jorge B. Vargas then serving as Executive Secretary to President Manuel Quezon. Later Vargas administered Manila as an open city during the Japanese occupation in 1942 and served in the puppet government of the Second Philippine Republic; following the war he chaired the National Planning Committee served on the board of regents of the University of the Philippines and became the first Filipino on the International Olympic Committee. In 1960 he was awarded the Legion of Honor by the Republic of the Philippines. Signed letters from the U.S. High Commission include several from Major General R. L. Holbrook as well as Colonel/Acting Chief of Staff E. H. DeArmond. From the first letter dated May 25 1937: "under the present prohibitive measures regarding aerial photography embodied in Proclamation No. 485 of the Governor-General dated August 12 1932 and in the Bureau of Aeronautics rules and regulations it is believed that the granting of permission to aviation companies particularly to an aerial photographic company to take pictures will be exceedingly difficult and complicated. This office is studying the advisability of altering the present rules and regulations." Jorge B. Vargas Secretary to the President. From November 12 1938: "So long as the Philippine Islands remain United States territory the United States is responsible for their defense and that responsibility at least so far as land operations are concerned devolves upon the Commanding General . . . . To say that the Department Commander is supreme in time of war or grave emergency but that in time of peace his responsibilities are limited to administrative control over United States military personnel and United States military reservations and that in peace time he should not interest himself in control or prevention of activities which may have the gravest consequences in time of war or public emergency is manifestly contradictory." Edward H. DeArmond Colonel FS G.S.C. Acting Chief of Staff. From October 26 1939: "I have the honor to inform you that in an investigation conducted by proper authorities of this Government Mr. B. A. Glover airplane pilot in the emply of Elizalde & Co. was found guilty of violation of the provisions of Proclamation No. 364 of the President of the Philippines in view of which he was suspended as transport pilot for a period of one month from October 18 to November 17 1939 inclusive and warned that repetition of a similar offense in the future will be subject of a more drastic action." Jorge B. Vargas Secretary to the President. An interesting cache of material documenting activities of the transitional government of the Philippines just prior to the outbreak of WWII. unknown books
