Gen. Collins Sees Caribbean
AS Defense Key for u. S.
Chief Of Department
Louds Puerto Ricons'
Loyalty and Courage
By WARD MoREHOUsE.

Fors1an Correspondent OF The star and
North American Newspaper Alliance.
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico, April 2s.
just year ago a dynamic man Of
| the military. Maj Gen. James L.
| Collins, came to the Caribbean as
commanding general Of the Puerto
Rican Department. and that's his
| job today. It's one entirely in keep
ing with his crowded career. He's
gone to the worlds far places and
| he hasn't missed any of the wars
since he got out of West Point in
| OF.
The general was on the terrace OF
his island home, Casa Blanca, and
we were facing the sparkling bay;
across the harbor lies the small
town of Catano. I'd been asking
him of his command, which covers
an extensive area. and. specifically,
of Puerto Rico and its people in the
crisis OF war.
This Is not a hot spot right now. :"
Gen. Collins said, but 1t might well
turn out 10 be. II Germany and
Russia had not locked horns ii prob
ably would have been long before
now. Now If Germany starts
coming down through Spain and
moves toward Dakar-"
He paused and then continued:
ct believe the Caribbean will be the
center of gravity of our defense for
the next century. With this job Of
mine I'm on the wing a great deal
and covering a lot OF territory by
flying. Can't do business by letter
In times like these. The Puerto
Ricans7 I think they compare ia
vorably, as soldiers. with the Fill
pinos, and I admire the Filipinos
a great deal. Years ago Gen. PERISH
ing had vision In his handling Of the
Filipinos. He sought to develop
them and give them confidence in
themselves.
Loyal and Courageous.
"We're trying TO do that here.
II our vision is right and our atti-
tude is right these people will be
our good friends forever. I'm util-
izing them to the fullest and giving
them every opportunity (only re-
Gently the general appointed 1t.
Col. Francisco j. PARA, attorney
from Ponce and national guards
man, as head of Ga, intelligence).
I have Puerto Rican infantrymen
and Puerto Rican engineers and
I can say that If we went into battle
tomorrow I could rely completely
on their loyalty and courage"
Gen. Collins-Jimmy to some of
his classmates at West Point and
Wilkie to many others-had come
to Casa Blanca for lunch, taking
an hour off from Santo Dominic
barracks, block or so away. Casa
Blanca, Of the cleaning white walls,
built for Ponce de Leon in 1923, is
a place of spacious corridors and
rooms, beamed ceilings (asuba
beams, wood as heavy as iron). tiled
floors, tall windows with hurricane
shutters and wrought-iron hinges,
and it's set in a beautiful tropical
garden.

they never got the better of him.
He was. and he probably still is, q
cold man. but he knew the game
of soldering from A to z. He was
the man who opposed the signing
Of the armistice. who wanted to
make his peace terms In Berlin. I
don't think that Pershing is yet
fully appreciated. He'll be greater
as the years pass"
The general paused and smiled.
He said: "As far as real soldering
is concerned there was nothing ever
to compare with the chase after
villa. Catching villa was like try

particular stripe. ! was with the

know. we never caught him. But
his chief Of staff. who had really
instigated that raid on Columbus,
was killed, mistaken for a bandit. :"
In 1917 James L. Collins sailed
for France rs aid-de-camp to Gen.
Pershing. He was later transferred
to the field artillery. In 1918 he
was commanding the ist Battalion,
7th Field Artillery. In the Meuse-
Argonne. Kermit Roosevelt was in

In mis- early military years and was

Moros In the Philippines before he
became Gen. Pershing's aide He
was with the general, more or less
continuously, until 1918.
There was emotion in his voice
as he talked of Gen. Pershing.
'Pershing was a great, great gen.
eral. What he did in the First
World War was fantastic. Two mil

IL is cOnSerVatlVely eStlmated that
gross annual incomes in the United
States aggregate $365 billions at this
time; SOS billions of this amount are
exempt from taxation since they rep
resent wages and salaries below $3.50
month and exempt business incomes
under So, 900 year. This leaves $500
billions subject to the 2 per cent tax.
And that means a yield of Sc billions
annually to be distributed among 10
million beneficiaries, putting the
Townsend Plan into immediate opera
ton.
The gross income tax has been in
successful operation in the Hawaiian
Islands, the State of Indiana and in
several European countries for a
number of years.

To many who have not studied the
Townsend Plan carefully the addi-
ton of new tax-the 2 per cent
gross income tax-to our already
overburdened tax structure seems ap-
palling. They fail to see how good
can come of additional taxes; and
they believe that whatever good might
come would be worthless under the
burden of new taxation. These crit
les of the Townsend Plan need only
