Mr.. Watt said that lie would

CARED with it a gospel of full

"Whether the experiment will
work or not, said the Acting
Prime Minister, "the Government

4 word Of comment was added
by Mr.. Watt On the recent Boil

He said:
"But a League of Nations Will
not be enough for Australia.
What we want is a league Of the
whole Australian nation to work
unitedly for the welfare and
safety of the Commonwealth
There is, unfortunately, arising
in Australia a spirit that bids
fair to outdo the spirit Of Bolshe-

new spirit involves the doctrine

"The Prime Minister is also
advocating Australia's legitim-
ate claims agailst. the broken
German Empire and people for
reimbursement of part of the
costs of the war. If these claims
are not advanced strenously and
successfully, two of three genera
tions in Australia will have to-
bear the blighting effect of a
huge burden of taxation.
'Mr. Hughes is also fighting
for the fiscal freedom Of this part
of the British Empire. Speaking
without the slightest hesitation
for a unanimous cabinet, / can
say that whatever be the basis
of peace, Australia cannot sur,
render its fiscal rights but must
control its own destinies in this

1919.-The Act providing for.
the Fourteenth and subsequent
decennial censuses was signed
by the President on March 3.
The enumeration, which will be
made in January, 1920, is now
less than ten months distant; ;
and the Census Bureau already
has under consideration the Sc
lection and appointment Of not
to exceed 100 supervisors who
will have charge of the 10000
enumerators. The supervisors
districts will, in most cases, eX-
cept in the large cities, have
the same boundaries as the Con-
gressional districts. The super
visors, under the law, are to be
appointed by the Secretary of
Commerce upon the recommen-
dation of the Director of the
Census.
The following instructions
have been given by the Secreta-
ry of Commerce to the Director
of the Census in regard to the
procedure to be followed in
making selections and appoint
ments of census supervisors:
CONFORMING to the assuran-
ces given the President in my
letter to him of March 3rd, you
will please be guided by the foil
owing instructions respecting
appointments to the post of su-
pervisor in connection with the
taking of the Fourteenth Census
of the United States:
ga test examination, Of which
record will be kept, is to be

required for appoint ment to the
post of supervisor. In addition
to this, a careful personal in
quiry is to be separately made
respecting the qualifications of
each candidate. Of this inquiry,
also, a record will be kept.
''In making appointments
from those who shall have pass
ed the test examination and the
separate inquiry as to qualifica-
tions, preference is to be given
to those candidates who have
had executive, administrative,
statistical, or accounting eXpe-
rience and to those who have
had charge of bodies of men as
administrators, provided in all
cases that men with the expe-
rience stated possess the other
qualifications necessary.
"You will arrange to give no.
tice to the above effect to every
candidate applying for appoint
tment and to his sponsors, and
no candidates are to be selected
for appointment who do not
pass both the test examination
and the personal inquiry.
"You are requested to ask the
Civil Service Commission to pre-
pare the blanks for the test exa-
mination or. to cooperate with
YOU in the preparation of them
| You will welcome the assistance
of the Civil Service Commission
in this and in any other respect
in which they can be helpful to
you.

privilege of being part, the
Agricultural League of Aguadl-

farmers of this district, beg lea
We to state the following:
The small Porto Rican farmer
is victim of usury, on account OF
the lack of agricultural banks.
. The extent of usury may be ap-
preciated from the fact that ac-
tual condition compel the small
farmers to borrow money at an
interest ranging from 18 to ~
per cent annually. 1t is true that
we we have laws against usury; but
these laws are easily evaded by
The money lenders by including
the interest as a part OF the prln-
cipal. The only way to overcome
this difficult situation is by
bringing to the island cheap mo-
.f1ey to be lent for long terms.
Z Why, then, is it that the Fede-
u raj government does not extend
IL the law of Rural Credits to this
Island? Have they not enacted
some laws in Washington lev
ying high duties that we have
fpthioudly and gladly fulfilled? To
