STATEMENT OF Sc CRETARY
ICKES

L nave come OaCk from SNORT Jf1D TO
Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands with
much clearer idea of the situation that ex-
lists in those two jurisdictions than | had
before. l managed to cover both Puerto Ri
co and the Virgin Island group pretty
thoroughly, although my time in both plac-
eS was quite limited
The rehabilitation program undertaken
in Puerto Rico with the money allocated
out of the four billion dollars appropriated
by the Congress is well under way and re-
suits are already beginning to show. The
heavy over population of this island pre-
sents a very serious problem. Moreover, the
greater part of the cutivable land in Puer-
to Rico is in the hand OF a few big sugar
companies. AS | flew twice from one end of
the island to the other and also travelled the
length and breadth of Puerto Rico by mo-
tor, it was interesting to see on one hand
great fields of flourishing sugar cane practi.
cally indicted by human habitations while
dense slums huddled in every town.
The breaking up of these big sugar es-
tates into small holdings and the enforce
ment of the 5O0-acre law in accordance
with the mandate of Congress, has been too
long delayed. If the people of Puerto Rico
are to be given even an outside chance to
solve their own economic future, they must
D0 gwen I'LL opportunity W udkC d living
for themselves and their families out of
lands which are now held by great sugar
corporations This is one of the problems to
the solution of which this Administration
has seriously directed itself.
An acute social problem in Puerto Rico
is the slums. | have never seen human be-
ings anywhere living under such terrible
conditions. Miserable dwellings so closely
crowded together that it is almost impOssi-
BILE to walk between them are built over
oozing sewage which lies constantly on the
surf ace. Little children play in open SAM
tary sewage that is coverad with thick nox-
ious scum The sldms are an offense not
only to the eye but to the sense of smell.
More and more of late years people have
been driven into these cesspoos through
failure of accustomed employment This
has been especially true of the workers on
the coffee plantations which periodically suf-
fer from hurricanes. The Federal Admins
tration is doing something in the way of
slum clearance for Puerto Rico, but we are
able only to scratch the surface. These
shameful conditions are a disgrace to any
civilized people.
There are 240, 900 school children in Puer
to Rico for whom the local government has
not been able ito provide school facilities.
And yet this is a possession of nation
that has prided itself on its system of free
public education AS tne inevitable result
of this situation, the illiteracy rate in Puer
to Rico is very high.

have described But they need much more
money to bring Puerto Rico even to the

| found conditions in the
Virgin Islands to be great
ly improved. If there is any dissatisfaction
with the administration of Governor Graz
mer, it did not come to my ears. He seems
to be universally popular. Great progress
has been made in the economic rehabilita-
ton of St. Croix Island, which is the larg-
est and most fertile of the three main is
lands which constitute this group Jungle

lands which are now growing flne-looking
crops of sugar cane. The Virgin Islands
Company which is solely owned by the
Government and for which capital of 81,
600 900 so far has been provided, has gotten
off to a flying start. The Company has al
ready manufaptured 100000 gallons of
rum, some of which will be sufficiently ma
tured in few months to market under it's
own labels A large gallonage has been con-
tracted for sale, to be blended with Haitian
rum The Virgin Islands are well on their
way toward an economic rehabilitation
which they have not known since pre-Vol-
stead days With sufficient additional money
to buy Bethlehem factory, rehabiltate it,
and to buy and plant to cane an additional

with the approach OF the American
athletic forces to their base Of Olympic
operations is who's handling Jesse
Owerfs?"
Oficially, Head Coach Lawson Rob-

was designated to take charge of the
dash men. First, an exception was
made for Frank Wykoff, whose old
coach, Dean Cromwell, is on the staff.
And now it has been established that
Owens is to take advice and directions
solely from Larry Snyder, Ohio State
mentor
The situation was brought to head
when Robertson asked Owens his
preferences and the Negro promptly
replied he wanted to work out only
under Snyder's guidance.
This brought into the spotlight an
anomalous situation. Snyder is aboard

Pilgrim Only One to Euer Win
400 and 800 in Same Olympiad
(This is one OF q series dealing
,pith old-tine Olympic stars and
tp11t they are doing noD)
BY SCOTTY RESTON,
Associated Press Sports Writer.


n YEW YORK, July 23.-In the
M long and fabulous sports his
" tory Of the New York Athletic
4 Club, no man has played q
greater part than Paul Pilgrim.
In 1906 he went to the Olympic
games at Athens for the N. Y. A. c.
and won the 400 and 800 meter runs.
No man had ever won these two races
the same year and no man yet has
equaled the feat. Nine years later,
when he came back to the club
seeking job, he was not forgotten.
Pilgrim was made athletic man
ager of the club in 1915 and he still
holds the job.
He's so years old now, gray of
hair, but straight as a javelin. He's
a walking track and field record book.
He can tell you who won and why
and what was the score of prac-
tically any meet of importance in
the last 20 years.
But Pilgrim Is no athlete now. Five
years ago serious appendectomy
almost took his life. Today he admits
he is afraid to mix in the sports hi
loves.
OF all the former Olympic cham
pions around now. Pilgrim seems tc
have benefited more directly from
his athletic ability than any other
He ran himself into a good job that
day at Athens and as far as thu
New York A. c., Is concerned ht
can have it for life.
