department has taken any action
against Gov. Post. Personally, l think
this matter should not initiate against
his confirmation
When asked where the principal OPP
position to Gov. Posts confirmation
centered, DIR. Lord said: THE present
opposition to him may come from the
Protestant churches. Gov. Post. in his
speech, said: THE school superinten-
dents have done more. next to the mis-
siOnaries. to bring about the anti
American feeling in the island-you.
next to the Observation-Disclosures are the
worst and referring to the mission
aries, he used very harsh language. The
representatives of the churches were
incensed, and they have not since
changed their attitude Of antgonism
to Gov. Post. They are now, l have
been informed, active in the effort to
prevent his confirmation by the Sem
ate
DR.. Lord spoke encouragingly of
educational conditions on the island
The department had met with many
obstacles. but as a whole satisfactory
progress had been made.
