Porto RICO'S FALSE HOPE

The residents of Porto Rico are poorly
advised by the apitators who advocate
indepe rdence of the United States. The
island is fertile and is Inhabited by an IN
dustrious people, but it is not endowed
with resources sufficient to make 1t a
going concern as a nation. 1t would be
under the wing of the United States in
any event, as Cuba and Santo Domingo
and Haiti now are. But Porto Rico en-
lows a great advantage over the republics
named, by reasons Of the fact that the
strength of the United States is behind
the guarantee of Porto Rican liberty and
prosperity. This nation will not see Por.
to Rico suffer, but will take pains TO
keep the island free and prosperous.
Political agitators tell the Porto Ricans
that they need something else than llber-
ty and prosperity under the American
system. They insist that Porto Ricans
speak a different language and nave
synpathies which are not harmonious
with the feelings of Americans. This
is true to some extent, but It is not
incompatible with a happy continuance
of political ties Tne Porto RlcanS can
increase their self government whenever
they please to do 50. if they do not ENJOY

SOME GOOD ADVICE

T.. N1OII 1NSllSs HN ~ oRFN4'NN" CIV
ernor of Porto Rico, gave the people Of
these islands some sound advice in the
course Of his inaugural address recently.
In brief, Governor Reilly said to his audi
ence that if they deemed it wise to
change the fo"m of government under
which they dwelt, they should work for
statehood. The agitation for independ-
ence, he declared, was largely due to the
foment of foreigners.
Independence, said Governor Reilly,
would nevei come to Porto Rico so long
as the United States was the United
States. Moreover, the governor ex-
pressed his doubts that any considerable
number of persons, aside from self
seeking politicians, most Of them aliens,
should want an independent Qform OF
government when the ideal political
existence for the islands eventually
would be that of a state in the Union.
Governor RELY pretty thoroughly
suuelched the independence idea when
he said, Il want you to be fully aware
that there is no room in Porto Rico for
any foreigner who is not wiling to sup
port and uphold our established govern
ment. There is no sympathy or possible
hope for independence for Porto Rico
from any individual or from any political
party"
The governor drew attention to the
fact that the last two great natonal con-
ventions held in the Cnited States, Re-
publican and Democratic, declared IN
amin ousIy against independence fol Por-
to Rico. "Neither, my friends, he
added, is there any place in these is
lands for any flag save the flag of our
common and beloved country, the Stars
and Stripes. and there never shall be-"
For some time re ports have come from
Porto Rico is the effect that agitators at
work among the more ignorant were
stirring up labor trouble wherever they
could, and combining with that activity
the spreading of propaganda for in
dependence.
Clearly, Porto Rico should not become
an independent nation The reasons arr
many and quite obvious. Much less
should politicians, especially foreigners,
be permitted to continue preaching the
doctrine of discomfort. The case of
Porto Rico offers in no sense a parallel
to that of the Philippines or Of Cuba.
The best thing for the Porto Ricans to do
is 10 labor diligently for the advance
mant of their Industries and commerce
under the American flag. They will
prosp4 in that way, and in no other.

of the vacant set OF building by neighbors,

The buildings are on a farm bought by

EEuRoPE SHOULD UP

Al II. II. @. WELLS. in writing Of the interdependence OF European
m countries and Of the selfsufhricncy Of America, says.
w. II doubt If il would make any very serious difference for
some time in the ordinary daily life Of Kansas City, let us say, il all
Europe were reduced TO a desert in the next Ave years"
In q limited degree, this is true. Kansas City would not see the
desert which Europe had become. Her streets would look the same.
Oufwardly she would live to a large extent the same life she lives now
land a Of other American cities and farming regions
But ali America would feel the change fkeenly. We would be
shocked Ia every intellectual and blsiness fibre. For one thing, we
would be left 10 bear The banner Of the white race alone save for some
nations which are weak in numbers and others which arc weak in
whitcness. We would feel a sense Of helplessness n confronting so
changed a world. To be sure Mr.. Wells says 'sfor some time; but
the time would be measured by the lapse required for the transmits
son of newseOniy. We should be a sick nation, il Europe were lost :;
and in all probability we should be sick nearly or quite unto death.
In a material sense, we should suffer obvious evils which every
body would be conscious of.
The main trouble with this country today, with South America
with the whole world, is that we are trying 20 get along without
Europe. Eufopes part in our life is largely suspended as AN after
math Of the war. The railways, the farmers, the factories are suf
fering because we have in large measure lost Eur0pe-because in
certain senses, Europe has become to US, temporarily at least, a
desert
