Sr. Quezon's Government Expected to Be Returned

Manila, Nov. 7

The Philippines Commonwealth will elect its, second National Assembly, a unicameral legislature. on November 8.

With only nominal opposition from a self-styled Popular Front minority coalition, the Nacionalistas party is expected to elect a new assembly that will support the administration of the President, Sr. Manuel Quezon, almost 100 per cent.

The second Assembly, like the first [will serve three years. It will be replaced in the 1941 elections when the Philippines will also choose a successor to President Quezon. The Commonwealth's constitution provides a president may serve only one six-year term.—United Press.
