                                          1. US wanted to reinstate 'open door' free trade policy. Gave $620 million to rid poverty so capitalism was favoured

                                              1. Extremely rich and extremely poor so lots of opposition
                                                1. 1946: Bell Trade Act Filipino companies had to sell at higher prices than US
                                                2. Market for US goods
                                                  1. US manufacturers paid cheap labour and made products more cheaply than in US

                                                          1. No as Roxas didn't have public support - the Huks did
