de EI GLo60. de MadrId)

Ea efscto: reconocemos que el Go
bierno no ha incurrido en- ninguns
contradiction al declararse ahora par
tidario dc reformas que hace pocc
no le pareclan oportunas; y no ha in
currido en- contradiction, porque los
reales decretos que aver publlc6 la
G0cet0 prueban que los conservado-
res sIeuen siendo enemigos del espf
rite reformador en- las Antillas. No
podfa Ell GobIerno resistir por mas
tiempo Ia implantacion de las refor

Ia opinion y & la vez imPoner su

Another policeman in speaking on the
subject, said that not even the captain OF
the different stations had anything TO do
with protecting unlicensed liquor dealers

their hands as it could be more satisfao-

policeman hinted that perhaps Chief OF
Police Baker did not have as much TO say
in such matters as a chief should.
These statements are made by patrol
men who are taxpayers and have served

they were allowed. and they say that IL
