PRESIDENT DOESN'T WAIT
FOR SENATE RESOLUTION
Reports Number Of Continental
Americans Employed in Porto
Rico, Anticipating Request.

President Harding answered direct
ly the resolution introduced in the
Senate several days ago by Senator
King of Utah making inquiry as to
the number Of continental Americans
employed in official positions in Porto
Rico. Senator King had read before
the Senate this afternoon the Presi-
dents letter in which the chief execu-
tive said that he was more than will
ing to give all the available informa-
ton regarding Porto Rico without
awaiting adoption by the senate OF
the King resolution.
The letter informed Senator King
that forty-nine American continentals
were employed in the government
service in Porto Rico and that there
were 5,911 natives. He said that these
forty-nine would be reduced to forty
five American continentals. He in
formed the senator in the letter that
four of the officials are appointed by
the President of the United States. He
said that there were ia American
school teachers employed in the island
and that the bureau of education now
liz trying to get 200 more to fill posi-
tions. and indicated that they were
wanted by the Porto Rican people.
Senator King said his resolution
was sponsored by published charges
that so-called carpet baggers" were
dominating the island. He said that
the Presidents letter was very re-
assuring and should set at rest the
charges. He congratulated the Presi-
dent on his announced purpose to ap-
point qualified residents to positions
in the island.
Senator King told the Senate that
both parties had been to some extent
guilty Of appointing the ,so-called
carpet baggers, who had no direct in
terests in the affairs of the island.
