PORTUGAL AS
A REPUBLIC
State Department Official Tells
Why 1t Has Not Been
Recognized
COUNTRY REALLY UNDER
THE RULE OF A DICTATOR

WASHINGTON,N Nov. 25-There IS
constant reiteration here of the ques-
tion: why doesn't the United States,
the greatest republic in the world,
aid the struggling republic of Portugal
by extending it recognition? Why
can't we do as much for it as the
monarchical governments of the old
world?"
An official of the State Department
to-day gave the United Press the
answer Of the department 10 the query.
In the first place." he said, "Portu-
gal has not been recognized by either
the monarchies or the republics of
Europe. II has never been recognized
by any country except one-Nicar-
auga, which is about as much of a
republic as there is I'm Portugal.
"As a matter of fact there is no re-
public of Portugal TO recognize. AS
soon as there is one, it will be recog-
nized. and the United States will GER
tainly be one of the first countries to
do so. Portugal to-day is under a die
tatorship. II is undoubtedly a mild
and benevolent form of dictatorship,
as the peace OF the country seems to
the less. and without ono semblance
of republicanism I'm IT,
The first essential of a republic is
a constitution. Portugal has no con-
stitution that has been adopted by the
people. The provisional government
has never been approved by the peO-
pie. No election has ever been held,
and no conclusive proof has so far
been given by the provisional republic
that an election will be held In the
near future.
1T is far from sure that the people
of Portugal could conduct a republic.
They are the most illiterate people in
the world That is a statistical fact
and republicauism is a very compli-
Gated form of government and re-
quires an unusually high standard ol
general education 10 conduct
What the leading powers Of the
world have done is simply 70 permit
their agents to transact the necessar,
international business with the pro
visional government whom they recog
nize as the de facto authority OF III
country-that is the authority re
sponsible for the preservation of fore
ign interests. The United States auto
matioally recognized the de facto gov
ernment TO that extent.
"No other country save onl
Nicaragua, itself republic in nam
only, and still under the DICTATORSHIP
of Estrada, has recognized the re
public Of Portugal, and It is safe q
say that recognition need not be look
ed for until conclusive evidence ha
been given that there is a Republican
government established and approved
by the people"

Tests of Diamonds.

Most persons are obliged in tn,
purchase of diamond, to reply i'm
plicitly upon the word of the man who
sells the stone. While many years oil
observation and experience are needed
to become an expert with respect to
the value and purity of diamonds, YET
there are certain extremely simply
tests capable of being made by the
most inexperienced.
One is by means of a needle hole
pricked through a piece of ordinary
cardboard. Looking through the
stone tested at the cardboard, one will
see two holes if the diamond be spur
ious-only one If the gem is genuine.
The reason for this is that an imita.
ton diamond will give a double re-
fraction, the real stone but one refrac-
ton.
It is claimed that there is no acid
having any perceptib]e effect upon a
genuine diamond. Hydrofuoric acid

of glass corrode it, but upon the bona
fide stone it will have no effect at all

Kettle of Fish.

The slang phrase "a kettle of fish"
really mean before it acquired its
present sense?
Colloquial, of course, but is 1t slang?
Without presuming to establish hard
and fast line of the Masons and the
Dixons in our speech it does seem
that 1900 might be a convenient divi-
sion, and to hold that any expression
now in use which can establish itself
in the eighteenth or earlier century
might be spared the slur that slang
generally implies. This locution GER
tainly clears the limit thus proposed,
for it was first printed in 1742 in
Fielding's Joseph Andrews" Here's
a pretty kettle of fish," cries Mrs.
Tow-wouse. Though most kettles OF
fish are pretty, this. is by no means
the only adjective admitted. In TON
Jones' there is "a rare kettle Of fish,"
the Duke of Wellington in 1900 wrote
of "a fine kettle of fish" and in 1920
Lady Granville called her kettle OF
fish nice. 1t has been suggested that
this kettle of fish is really the kid
die or weir in which fish are taken,
in effect the shad nets of the North
River may be Riddles of fish. The
suggestion is plausible, but there Is
no evidence to prove the passage from
the weir to the pot. These Riddles
are part Of the history of the Tower
of London, for st. Thomas's tower,
the water gate. Traitors Gate OF
bloody fame, was largely built from
the license tax which the Bishop OF
Rochester levied on the Riddles in the
Lea, the Midway. and the Thames.
