SPILLING THE BEANS, IN BOSTON,.

Really we must be careful who is per
mltted to come to Porto Rico. Here Car
dlnal O'COnnell comes and spends a few
days with US and goes back 10 the dear
old United States and says that of all
the wet cOur tries he passed through on

OF drunkenness vas in Porto Rico! What
can His Emlnence mean? Does he not
know that such a statement reflects on

miristration of affairs in this island, dry

: And the Cardinal comes from Boston,
the town in which President Coolidge
once resided! Why such statements are
almost as b~laSphemous as the articles in
the Baltimore Sun, or as truthful as the
statement voiced from the heart of Pedro
Alblzu CampOs calling for a republic!
What can the Cardinal mean by going
back home and splitting the beans, in BoS-
ton!
There is only one adequate explana-
ton, ard that probably isn't it. The
Cardinal must have been here during
that unfortunate time when those men

GENEVA, May c5.-Germany inter
vened sensationally at today's meet
ing of the preparatory disarmament
commission when Count Won Bern
storff. former Ambassador to the
United States, made sharp allusion to
the fact that Germany's neighbors
were not yet disarmed.
He insisted that the measures pro
posed by France to strengthen the
League Of Nations covenant and
speed assistance to any attacked ma
ton should be based not on the pres
ent excessive armaments of Europe
but on the reduced scale Of arma
ments which everybody hoped the
eventual international conference
would bring to the world.
Count Won Bernstorn emphasized
that. although Germany is regarded
morally as member Of the league.
she cannot yet have a voice In the
league council, to which NJ. Paul
Boncour's project for reinforcing the
covenant has been referred.
