"Oh. I like Aunt Jane" said Althea,

certainly no cause for action. You'd

he delivered 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. to-
bacco and coffee production. The re-
moval of a tariff between Porto Rico
and the rest of the United States has
SO stimulated these industries. espe-
cially the first two. that it is evident
to the most casual observer that there
is In the island widespread and gen.
uine commercial prospArity. More
people are employed, more hours a
day. more days in the week, and with
more money In the envelope than. ever
before. Thousands of acres under
most perfect cultivation testify to the
truth of a remark which was made
to me not long before I am away.
TO this effect: 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 con-
trolled by sugar.
THE development of these indus
tries during the past fifteen years has
been no less than marvellous. Every

has given place to the most modern

But why do I speak of this among
the problems. Because all this PROS
perity is u to the trusts, and as vet
the trust is itself. a problem. The
profits arising from these great in
dustries are not returned to the is
land. they are emptied into the cof-
fers Of syndicates in New York and

old Spanish customs. Loyalty to the
American flag could best be taught,
he thought, first, by never emphasize
ing nor accentuating racial differ
ences: secondly, by instilling pa
triotism in the public schools. At
least six times as many Porto Rican
children attend school nov as when
the stars and Stripes were first raised
ON the heights Of Guanica fifteen
years ago.

lieved they should have 1t. He con-
sidered it most unfortunate that the
problems which the island presents
have 10 be dealt with at long range,
that the island must be governed from
Washington and the church admins

FOR A TARIFF COMMISSION.

The Nations Business, Il paper pub
iishcd by the chamber of of
the United States of America, en-
presses briefly and clearly tho opin-
ions of many thousands of people
with reference to the manner in
which a tariff should be made. 1t
says:
The Underwood tariff bill is Law.
Changes in tariff rates have been
made by the hundreds.
NO tariff Encouragement should
eve be undertaken except OH a sci
cntific basis.
This means full knowledge Of costs
at home and abroad, of labor cx-
penses. VI transportation costs. Of the
effect of duties upon imports, Of va
.ious other factors--all vital in decid-
ing upon a new rate.

The present tariff bill prove the ac-
:uracy of this statement; for if the
schedules determined upon by the
house were scientific nj 676 rates
