The Torch

The Torch was a 1930 pamphlet produced by the editors of the Philippines Mail newspaper (published in Salinas) to address special issues of concern to the Filipino Community in Monterey Bay Area and Salinas Valley. This particular issue is a response by David P. De Tagle (an editor for the Three Stars, another Filipino newspaper located in Stockton) to remarks about Filipinos made by Judge Rohrback of Pajaro, and the Monterey County Chamber of Commerce.
