history OF a work of this kind beins
carried on with SO little friction.
The credit for the success OF the re-
ownership is due almost exclusively
to the personnel employed and TO
the direction given In It's organiza-
ton. The avoidance Of friction and
efficient operation OF the service.
which have been the outstanding
marks of the receivership, could be
entirely destroyed by a few careless
selections to MI the very few posi-
lions held by Americans.
1T should be noted that not the
least OF the accomplishments OF the
receivership has been the gradual
replacement of American personnel
by Dominicans, until today the
number of Americans is reduced to
the limit that could fairly be re-
Garded as a compliance With the
terms OF the treaty establishing the
receivership.."

INSULAR AFFAIRS
REPORT IS MADE
Philippines, Porto Rico and
SantO Domingo

Washington. Dec. R-The an
nual report OF the chief OF the bu-
reau OF insular affairs, made public
today, cited detailed figures In sup
port OF Its statement that In the
Philippines, Porto Rico and santo
Domingo, the year ending June 80,
1925, was one OF prosperity and gen.
cral advancement.
Major General Frank Mcintyre,
who signed the report. said the ex-
ternal trade OF the Philippines was
in quantity greater than In any
previous year in the history OF the
Islands Measured In value, how
over, the total was less than In 1920,
duo to the higher prices OF that
year. The total of imports and en-
ports amounted to s24S,ooo,oo,
which, as stated, was only exceeded
in 1920, when the total was $500
100000. or the imports approx
mately so per cent came from the
United States and Of the exports ap-
proximatoly 70 per cent came to the
United states, This varies but
slightly from the normal.
THE most striking feature" the
fanort continued, "is the great de-
,elopment IN the production of CEN
trifuEal sugar, due to the compare
lively recent construction OF num-
Der Of modern sugar mills In the 49,
lands. The estimated production OF
centrifugal sugar for the sugar year
1ao4.25 was $4,000 metric tons. 1t
is interesting to note that OF TINS
production this year, the centrals
financed and practically owned by
the Philippine National bank pro-
duced $4,000 tons; American-oT
centrals, $4,000: Spanish, 10000
and Filipino, $1,000.
From one point Of view the bank
cpntrals and the Filipino
rantrals should be combined, as the
control of these centrals Is IN Fill

made because Of the fact that thf
