SUGAR and TOBACCO
These Interests Are Fattening
At The Expense Of Porto

ssgar and the tobacco interest are get
ltinx great wealth out OF Porto Rico,
tbu& the island itself is not sharing
these profits says the FSt- Rev. James
n. van Buren,, for ten years Protestant
Episcopal Bishop of Porto Rico Bishop
wan Aduren left the island a year ago
after ten years service and is now
rector OF Christ church at Madison
Indiana. Problems In Porto Rico
was the subject of an address he de-
ilivered today before the Lake Mohonk
Conference of Friends Of the Indians
and other Dependent Peoples / ~. {
- The three principal Industries OF the
island he said, ARE sugar, tobacco
and coffee production. The removal
loe a tariff between Porto Rico and the
rest of the United States has so slim
.uiated these industries, especially the
first two, that 1t is evident to the most
casual observer that there is in the
island widespread and genuine com
rmerciaI prosperity. More people are
employed, more hours q day, more
days in the week, and with more mon
ey in the envelope than ever before
thousands Of acres under most per
fect cultivation testify to the truth OF
"a remark which was made to me not
long before came away, to TINS Ell
feet: The time is not far distant
when everything in Porto Rico that is
not owned or controlled by the tobacco
trust will be owned or controlled by
sugar
s.The development of these two in
.dustries during the past fifteen years
has been no less than marvellous EY-
.erywhere the old-fashioned sugar mill
has given place to the most modern
central and we have made Eve or SIX,
at least. to grind where only one

tobacco fields covered with cheese cloth

lions upon millions of dollars have
been invested there.
but why do I speak of this among
the problems? Beca use all this prosz
perfty is due to the trusts. and as yet
the trust is itself, a problem. The
profits arising from these great indus
tries are not returned to the island,
they are emptied into the Golfers Of
,syndicates in New York and Madrid
Bishop Van Buren, spoke of the great
task of ting the two streams
of civiIization-Spanish and American
which now flow in Porto Rico side
by side. The problem, he said, was to
preserve the best Of the old Spanish
lcuEtoEns Loyalty to the American
mag could best be taught, he thought,
first, by never emphasizing nor ac-
-centuating racial differences; secondly
DIV instiIIing patriotism in the public
schools At least six times as many
porto Rican children attend school now
as when the stars and Stripes were
first raised on the heights of Guanica
fifteen years ago
The Porto Ricans, he asserted, ar
IDENTITY desire citizenship and he be-
slieved they should have it. He con-
sidered it most unfortunate that the
problems which the Island presents
nave to be dealt with at long range,
that the island must be governed from
Washington and the church admins

Claim for Purloined Cocoanuts.

Fourteen sailors from the United
States collier Hannibal, who went ashore
in Panama and ate large quantities Of
cocoanuts on the plantation of Senior
Aguilor, nearly caused the filing Of a
claim against this government. The Han
nibal has just completed a survey near
the Atlantic terminal of the Panama
canal for the making Of more accurate
charts Of shoals in that vicinity.
The only complaint received from the
Panama government during the course
Of the work by the Hannibal had to do
with the eating of Senior Aguilor's cocoa
nuts. That complaint, according to a
report just received, has been withdrawn
lowing to the skilled diplomacy and the
courteous manner In which Commander
Hayward of the Hannibal handled the
matter"
After he had learned what his crew
had done, he invited the American charge
at Panama and Gov. Arcia OF Colon to
accompany him on a visit to Senior Agui-
lor An official cancellation of the claim
was signed, and Senior Aguilor was SO
gratified at the courtesy shown him that
he extended to the crew OF the Hannibal
an invitation to come over again to
