Baker the considerations given for the
lease; that the complaint stated no cause
OF action. and that the action was pre-
scrlbed because it was started more than
four years after the execution of the
lease dated July Is, 1921, as required by
local law, the Constitution of the United
States not being in force in Porto Rico.
Bakers counsel in answering the COM
plant stated that the congressional act
under which the lease was made was
passed for the specific and only purpose
of ratifying the transaction and authoriz-
ing the secretary of The navy to do what
he did by the lease of 1921" that if Bak-
er deceived the secretary of the Navy
and the secretary of the navy deceived
congress "all this actually happened be-
fore congress actually passed the law,
and the action of congress and its mo-
tlves IN passing a law can never be at
tackled on the ground hat congress was
deceived or made a mistake. The mo-
tives of the laW-making body can never
be made a matter of judicial investiga-
ton. Whether 1t. Comd. Baker deceiv-
ed the secretary of the navy and the Sc
cretary of the navy deceived congress in
TO passing this law is therefore wholly
immaterial."
In the answer and brief, filed last week
it is stated that the property was leased
instead of being transferred outright, at
at the suggestion of the secretary of the
navy. 1t is also contended that the navy
was informed the land was worth not
more than $24, 900 instead of 81, 400.
Government counsel contends that under
lease the |Insular Government is deprived
of taxes which would run into many mil
lion dollars in 999 years were the prop
erty actually in Bakers name.
Chief Justice del Toro sustained the
government against the contentious of
Bakers counsel in both the motions to
dismiss and TO strike out certain portions
OF the complaint.
The complaint alleges that the portion
of the San Geronimo reservation in ques-
ton is worth more than $500, 900.
Chief Justice del Toro is sitting as spe-
ciaI United States judge in the case be-
cause Judge Wells is disqualified by his
having served as u. s. District Attorney
or assistant attorney general of the Uni
ted States in charge OF land titles at the
time an investigation was made and the
suit instituted. Porto Rjco Progress

ural tendency toward absentee owner
ship'-that is, the more important
stockholders have frequently beer
largely ASSOCIATED from the actual
management and operation of the bust
ness, and have exercised their control
in an indirect and more or less imper-
sonal manner.
The dangers in such situation
have been pointed out by forward
looking business men and economists
during the past $50 years. In word,
these disadvantages in the earlier days
were perhaps due to an over-emphasiS
OF routine methods and organization
practices, the purpose of which was
not made sufficiently clear to the aver
age employee As a result, unneces-
sary MISUNDERSTANDING sometimes
arose, and individual initiative was NOT
always properly directed.
However, changes in the character
OF ownership OF corporations have
been taking place very rapidly but
quietly during the past decade. The
number OF stockholders oF all cor
porations has vastly increased. and the
average number OF shares per stock
holder has decreased.
II is even more important to note
that this extension OF ownership, par
ticularly in our great public utility
enterprises, is due primarily to the
fact that customers are investing their
money in the corporations which serve
them, and employees are buying stock
in the corporations for which they
work
This means that those who produce
the service and those who consume IL
have very direct and mutual interest
IN seeing that money and effort are
expended in such manner as to pro-
duce the best results. II means, fur
Their. that these who arc employed BY
corporations. from Office boy to presi-
dent, are becoming in a very real
sense Partners in business together,
since each oUsRs portion Of the bust
ness.
This ownership interest is not
merely a privilege. but also aravt
responsibility Every stakeholder should
understand that as an owner he has
duties to perform as we'll as dividends
to collect. The more intelligent the

ANGLO-ITALIAN FINANCING
OF ABYSSINIAN PACT TOLD
Rome Will Not Comment on Eng
1ish News, But Previous Acts
Are Quoted in Support.
Nv the Associated Press.

Nv the Associated Press.
ROME, April 20.-The Italian press
publishes reports from English and
Trench newspapers of the financing
of an Anglo Italian agreement con
cerning Abyssinia, but there is neither
confirmation nor denial here, nor does
the local press comment.
Political circles recall the excep-
tionally good reception given by the
present regime to the heir to the
Abyssinian throne when he visited
Rome, and also pointed out that when
the Italian embassy at Buenos Aires
was vacant, it was suggested that
Count Coli di Felizzano be transferred
there but Immediately it was declared
semi-off1cially that his presence in
Abyssinia was necessary. This now
is interpreted in the sense that the
minister had begun negotiations,
which would better be continued
through him as he enjoyed the con-
fldence of the heir to the throne.
