The first post-war elections would be held at the end of April, when Filipinos would choose a President, vice-President and Congressmen. Congress, under the present law. could remain in office until the end of 1946, but Osmena feels that this is not desirable, because there is a sus picion in the United States that the present Government contains collaborationists.
