BOY SCOUTS RETURN
BACK FROM UNITED STATES
A party of 32 Filipino Boy Scouts arrived here this morning from America by the Empress of Canada en route to Manila.
The Scouts passed through Hongkong some months ago when on their way to America to attend the jamboree to be held there. This proved impossible, however, since an outbreak of infantile paralysis made the congregation of so many young people in the danger zone undesirable. The party were given receptions in many places in America, however, and shown the country thoroughly during their stay there. They were also received by President Roosevelt before they left for Home. The party will continue to Manila tonight.
