FL Gobernador Cotton ha dado aver
q la prensa unas circulareS que, segun
tenemos entendido, lie han sido enviadas
del departamento de asuntos insularrs
de Washington.
Una de elias ataca directa y desconsi-.
deradamente intereseS insulares. y cree
mos que es un deber nuestro indicar a
la administration ei error que Sc propo-
ne cometer, estableciendo eSe reglamen-
to para Ia compra de equipos y arti-
culos de todaS classes que Sc necesltan
en- los departamentos del gobierno para
ell uso Official.
Ell reglamento en- question establece
que han de venir de los EStados Unid0s
los efectos y artlculos que Sc neceslten,
nosotros entehdemos que esos artlculos,
materialeS efectOs deben ser adqul-
ridos auui, a no ser que ell goblerno insu-
lar Sc proponga atacar deliberadamente
los intereSeS del coneWiQ, leSlonandolos
q sabiendas con esa disposition arbltra-
ria.
A sostener las penOsas cargas de Ia
maquinaria Official, contribuyen el CO.
mercio y la industria puertorriquenos,
que pueden surtir a los departamentos
oficiales de. los efactos y articulos que
puedan necesitar y que ahora st mandan
traer de los Estadoo Unidos. Y como a
sostener esaS cargaS acude el comeWlo
con los tributes que Sc lie exgen, tlene
derecho q su vez q la mitua reciprocl-
dad por parte del Estado, que no debe
ir al exterior por ningun cOncepto, en-
busca de los artlculos que haya de com
prar, para el mejor serviclo y funclo-
namiento de las ofcinas.
Ell pueblo de Puerto Rico es el que
paga. con dnero del cOntribuyente in
sular es que sc van hacer las compras,'
siendo asi no Sc concibe como Sc decla-
ia con tan extraFia franqueza que las
cosas que pueden comprarse aqul han
de ser traidas de los Estados Unldos,
restandn nuestro comercio Y a nues-
tras industrias 10 benefcios legltimos i
que tiene derech0, como una cOmpensa-
ci6n por parte del Estado.
Hace tempo que ha sido una de las
causaS que han mantenidO latente Ell
disgusto del pals, el inalterable proce-
dimiento seguido pOr gran numero de
los americanos rnsidentes en- ell pals, que
todo 10 traen de la metr6poli ihasta la
ropa limpia!, sin dejar EN- el pals en- que
viven del que sacan enorme beneficlo
la mas minima parte de Sus gananclas.
Pregunte el gobernador que ha mos
trado tantos deseos de dar d la opinion
islena satisfacciones merecidas, lie di-
ran como ese rlsgo de algunos conterra-
neos suyos, ha fomentado Ell la lsla un
explicabe desafecto, porque revela un
egoismo explotador y s6rdido
Pues bien; ell gobierno no Sc debe com
pllcdr 6H esd dlClpdllcd CoHuucla' -
pretexto de buscar ilusorias economias
harto desmentidas en- la practica, yaya
favorecer con sus compras a elementos
que ell NADIA contribuyen al sosteni-
miento de las carg3S burocratcaS insula-
res.
Lo equtativo 10 prudente seria Que
todo cuanto necesite el gobierno insular
Sc adquiera por subaSta p1blica, pero en-
Ia Isla, comprado aqui, a los que tienen
sobre sus hombroS Ia carga NADIA ligera
por cierto de Las obligaciones que i'm
pone ell mantenimiento de la complicada
costosisima maquinaria administrati-

FUTURE SUPPORT
LEFT TO OTHERS
Rockefeller Announces Final Gift
to Chicago University

Chicago, Dec. 22.-With $4,000 900
in cash on hand as a Christmas gift
from it's founder, John ID. Rockefeller,
the University of Chicago entered
upon a new period in it's existence.
From now on it will be without his
financial aid and supervision.
The Rockefeller benefaction, which
brings his total of gifts to the univer-
sity up to nearly $35,O00,000, was an
nounced to the board of trustees at
the quarterly convocatiOn, when let
ter from the oil magnate was read by
President Martin A. Ryerson. In. the
letter Mr. Rockefeller presented the
designations of his two personal rep
resentatives on the board, John ID.
Rockefeller, Jr., and Fred T. Gates,
declaring his action was based on the
conviction that hereafter the institu-
ton should be controlled, conducted
and supported by the people,"
In another letter to President Jud-
son of the university Mr.. Rockefeller
states that he intends the $4,000, 900
gift to be used to maintain the depart
ments of the university that have al
ready been established, leaving the
founding of new departments and the
development of new sciences, includ-
ing medicine, ito the wisdom of the
trustees as funds may be furnished for
these purposes by other friends of the
university"

Washington, Dec. 22.-Dr Charles

submitted to Postmaster General
Hitchcock:
There is strong sentiment
throughout the country in favor of the
discontinuance of the delivery OF mail
on Sundays and this sentiment should
be respected.
IF the plan of discontinuing entire
ly Sunday service by letter carriers,
which is now being tried in number
of the larger cities, where the senti
ment of the committee is strongly in
favor of Sunday closing. proves prac.
ticable, Il would seem that the de
