voto de sus conciudadanoA En-
cuanto a un Estado Federal solo Sc

hay que confundirla con ell regi-
men llamado de autonomia'.
Constandonos, pues, ahora que los
terminus incorporation" y "asimila-
cion" representa- iguales conceptos,
Sc nos ocurre preguntar: iEn el case
de Puerto Rico, situado, como esta,
a centenares de millas de distancia
del territorio continental, teniendo,
como tiene, una poblacion nativa que
Sc remonta a cerca de un million tres
cientas mil almas, es possible la ash.
Mr.. Paul Reinsh nos da
la respuesta en- SUI admirable trabajo

cuando dice sobre este tema:
"Hasta aquf la politica de la ash
milacion no solo no ha dado result

I hasta desastrosa en- ocasiones.
LA politica de la asimilacion
descansa sobre la antigua doctrina

obliga a aceptarlas tendran que
libertarseles la postre y elevarlos
un nivel mas alto de existencia y

de esta creencia consiste en- que la
razon es la fuerza dominante en- la

tituciones racionales son producto-
ras de accion racional, de ahi que

Apoyandose, sin duda alguna, en-

ba transcritas; dice 10 siguiente Mr..
Alphens Snow en- su libro intitulado
"The Administration of Dependen-
cies":
"Probablemente la Alaska to-
das las dependencies insulares de

cipando de esa relacion les sera

a Con un gobierno bien equilibrado e
idoneo bien podian las dependen-

i Tenemos, pu es, que la unica solu-
cion del actual problema de Puerto

bos paises. No hay razon alguna por
que los Estados Unidos no deben ser
tan generosos con Puerto Rico como
10 ha sido con Irlanda la Gran Breta-
ma.
Inspirandonos, para resumir, en- ell
contexto del folleto que reproducimos,
podemos aseverar que seria recibido
como un honor ell que esta, la mas
grande de las Democracias, hiciese de
Puerto Rico, un pals autonomo; un

Unless her maiden name is forthcoming. if means that list of over 3o,000 registrations of burial in Cote des Neiges cemetery will have to be examined in an effort to prove or disprove the story.
 At Fabrique Notre Dame yesterday morning it was stated that detectives had called in the afternoon in the hope of clearing up the rumors through the cemetery records. AS in earlier searches, they found that the woman sought was known as Mime. Heon. The system of registration provides that the maiden name of a deceased matron is used in indexng, so that the entire records may have to be gone over in the hope of find ing a qualifying clause to an indeXed item which will read wife or widow of one Heon.
 Thus far this extensive system of Identification has not been under taken, as the officials are hopeful that someone will come forward with de- tails which will clear up the matter

 From the testimony l have heard 50 far it is indicated that the disaster Was due to an accident 10 the cons tros regulating the altitude of the Roma
 The ship came down, striking high tension electric wires which caused the fire. There was no eXplo- sion and no fire while the ship was in the air"
 Cause Unknown
 'I have no idea what caused the accident" said Captain Walter j.. Reed. chief pilot of ill-fated airship Roma, in d statement given out at the Pnblic Health hospital here today
 T doubt if it will ever be known Of course we have our own theories, but VIC are not certain which is cor rect"
 T had known that there was trou- be with the control of the ship and U Nds ilpoosipl' u Nbil'Nt " a4l'l it was discovered.
 The first intimation we had that there was trouble was when we saw the nose of the ship down. We went back to see what caused it and found the control was not working.
 Every effort to get the Roma on an even keel failed and she turned over on her side.

 When the ship hit l was thrown into the upper part of the cabin. ] was shut in and got out only when q hole was burned into the cabin. Lieut., Welch crawled out with me. Both of us had to go through flames to get to safety.
 My hay recollection is of being thrown from one side of the cabin to the other and Of looking up the keel where I saw men forward Captain Reed said that it was plausible theory to believe, as had been suggested, that the kite box hung down at the tail of the Roma so heavily as to displace the balance and point the ship into the nose dive,
