Frente a estas ideas grandes y ge-
nerosas quizds Sc juzgue mimic que 20
me ocupe de nuestra polftica local en-
ciertos .detalles, que, al parecer, pal
.pitan ahora en- la opinion.
En- ell momento historico en- que nos
encontramos teniendo que hacer una
obra de reconstruction, ALI donde Sc
lley6 a cabo, hasta no hace mucho,
una obra de. destruction, es muy diff;
Gil concretar terminos de procedimien-
tos seguir, como no sean aquellos
que las circunstancias nos indiquen
"a medida que yayamos ahondando ca
da problema.
[ Desde luego que la responsabilidad
de toda accion en- los asuntos pdbIcos
gravita sobre ell partido de la mayo
ria, 81 es que a este Sc le deja actuar
con sus responsabilidades Desde lue-
go, tambien, que sobre ell GObernador
gravita asf mismo esa reSponsabilidad,

ing, en- Sli primer menSaje al Congre-
so: "Estamos regidos por un gobierno
de opinion representadO por .partidos

ma, ALA y acd, como la base de tOdo

ministratiyos presentados al pueblo, en-
el momento de la contienda electoral,
tiepen que delinearse, al constituirse
Ell nuevo gobierno, las ejecutoriass del
poder legislative del ,poder ejecuti-
vo.
Debe admitirse que los hombres del
ejecutivo han de MERCER la absolute
confianza de su Jefe supreme ell Co
bernador, y debelnos admitir tambien
que los hombres seleccionados para su
gabinete no deben ser partidaristas en-
el sentido de una polftica personal y
apasionada que los incapaeite para
ser. los verdaderos seryidores del pue-
bio, atinque ellos tengan natufalmente
gus ideas personales, como las tienen
sodos los que no son indiferentes a la
suerte de suN. .patria; pero es natural,
y asf debe esperarse, que esa selection
sea hecha por ell poder supreme eje-
cutiFo entire liombres que no solo me-
reZcan su confianza sino que ademas
Sc hallen en- condiciones de coadyurar
con lealtad y con eficiencia a la rea-
lizaci6n del programa legislative y que
la yez puedan sugerir a nuestros
Iegisladores como resultado de su ex-
periencia ejecutiNa, la obra de una
bilena legislaci0n como el 1nico me-

cutiyo como el legislative, trabajeI ar

BELIEVE SEIZURE LEGAL.
officials Here Question Tomako's
British Registry. -.

Although details of the seizure Of
the rum schooner Tomako off the
Jersey coast are not yet known here,
the understanding Of officials Is that
she had been in contact with the
shore by means Of her own boats and.
for the prohibition navy. even though
she was run down outside the three
mile limit.
The policy of making such seizures
was adopted by the American gov4
ernment some months ago and. al
though no conclusive test of It ever
has been made in the courts, the ad-
mintstration has no doubt Of it's va
lidity.
There also is evidence that officials
are not entirely satisfied as to the
registry of the Tomako. While she
was flying the British flag. 1t is be-
lieved by some investigators that she
actually was owned by Americans
and had no legal status in the British
mercantile marine.
If the Tomakp was using the flag
merely as subterfuge. her case
would be parallel to that of the
seizure In 1921 was upheld by the Su-
preme Court In the Marshall case
the British government at first indi-
Gated 1t would protest, but after 1t
found that the ships British registry
was not entirely regular. and that she
was owned by Americans, 1t was de-
cided that no representations were ad-
visable.
The first official dispatches to coast
guard headquarters reporting the
capture referred to the vessel as "a
British schooner" and made no refer
ence to any suspected taint upon her
registry.
