Of the duty Of looking after the Phil
ippineS and Porto Rico. He Is virtually
minister of public works, since through
the Corps of Engineers all great river
and haroor projects have TO pass under
his supervision. In addition to that 1t
is his duty to look after one Of the two
great arms of the national defense. The
Secretary of the Navy has not as many
duties as has the Secretary of War, but
his problems are sufficiently difficult TO
require all of his attention without In
sisting t'--f he concern himself with
little g of islands where the Navy
has a narbor. Our own Western
Indians used to be under the War De-
partment but many years ago they were
transferred to the Interior Department.
The problems of the Secretary of the
Interior are generally the problems of
civil administration d"aling with a wide
range Ct subjects. m@ny of which are
similar 10 the problem which confront
our island governments. hope the day
may soon come when he will be per-
mitted to coordinate all Of our insular
activities. believe this will be to the
benefit of the national defense and will
also make for the happiness of our
wards who look to us for protection and
guidance.

No Legitimate Excuse.

Finally there is Porto Rico, beauti-
Iul Island, more densely populated than
any State Of the Union except two, in
habited by Woodworking descendants of
spanish immigrants. They have taken
advantage of American ideas of health
and sanitation to more than double the
population since we took possession Of
the island Like the citizens Of the
virgin Islands they are American citi-
Zens. Unlike them they are mostly
white. Like them they have a Governor
appointed by the President, but unlike
Ihem they are related to the Federal
Government through the War Depart
ment, a situation for which I can find
no legitimate excuse. The Porto Rican
legislature makes most all of their laws

vice powers. The President appoints
the Governor, the auditor and two or
three other officials besides the Judges of
their principal courts. have sometimes
telt that in view Ct the proximity Of the
virgin Islands to Porto Rico a good deal
OF expense might be saved by placing
both under enc Governor and one audi

IN historic background, between the
Englsh-speak1ng Negroes Of the Virgin
Islands and the Spanish-speaking Porto
hlcanS, 1t Is doubtful whether such a
plan would be practicable At the same
TIME, do feel that some bureau in the
interior Department ought to handle
the affairs Of all of our inSular possess
sions, and ought to be in close touch
with the bureau that handles the affairs
Of our territories. While the problems
OF Alaska and Hawaii are necessarily
olnerent from those of Porto Rico and
american Samoa. nevertheless, it seems
TO me only common sense that one cabi-
net officer should devote his time to in
sular problems, rather tnan laying the
burden on the shoulders of different
cabinet officers.
Today the Secretary of War seems to
me to have a heavier burden of duties
and more complex range TO cover than
any other cabinet minister. It seems to

NEW TREATMENT
 FOR WEAK NERVES

A famous scientist has perfected a new nine day treatment that is true godsend to people suffering from weak fraZzled nerves. This new treatment is not medicine, but a scientific compound of the elements required by nature to re- store complete health. It is a food supplement. It supplies the chemi- cal elements that should be in your food, but is generally refined" out.
 Nerve exhaustion, frazzled and tangled nerves, are the first sign that your nerve tissues are suffer- ing from the lack of the essential chemical element. If you cannot sleep at night, if every sudden noise makes you jump, if your s'nerves are on edge" you should go at once to your druggist and ask for NINEDAY, the new ele- mental treatment. Take it for nine days as directed. You will probably ind complete health restored to your exhausted nerves with this first nine day treatment, just as hundreds of others have done.
 NINEDAY can be secured at Apothecaries Hall Go.

American bankers and their methods are both lax and specula- tive, United Staets Senator Fred- eric c. Walcott charged last night in a talk before the members of the Connecticut Sales Managers association at the Waterbury club. Continuing he stated that 1900 banks failed since the first of the year and as a result President Hoover and congress will be forced to adopt legislation to curb the speculative banking system.
 Approximately 100 members of the organization were present. K. w. Jappes president of the Brook mire Economic Service company, Inc, of New York also spoke, as- surfing his listeners that 1882 holds promises of considerable improve ment in business conditions.
 Within the next few months, Senator Walcot tprediceted, Amer ica will accomplish results no country has ever before accom- plished to improve international re- lations. Under President Hoover's leadership, he added, industrial leaders now associated with him will in that period clear up Amer ica's own economic situation in an extraordinary way.
 He said that the caliher of the bankers of the country, measured by him during three years mem bership on a congressional commit tee, shocked him. He referred to banks calling in brokers loans, re- sulting in smashing of the stock r,oartnt Fla dneriad fha nyistnnce of the system permitting state banks to complete with one an- other so strongly and to such an extent as to force the federal baEks to take desperate chances.

 since July. He referred to this state of affairs as appalling, ex- plaining that the failures have tied up billions on deposit, leaving hundreds of thousands of people stranded without money. Discussing the European situa- ton, Senator Walcott said that Germany has a depleted credit and it's people are facing hunger. As for England, he said that coun. | try made three vital mistakes re-
