Aiming to assess progress toward independence, a Philippine American committee will study economic feasibility for full independence between 1938 and 1940. Paul V. McNutt, new high commissioner to Manila, leaves for Washington and then San Francisco on April 3 with two Indiana aides. Roosevelt’s 13,000 mile Charleston to Buenos Aires trip was his longest outside the U S.
