island of Puerto Rico.
Under our paternalistic bu-
reaucrats it seems inevitable
that these people would cease
to be economically independent
and self-respecting.
The fourth reason is as i'm
portant as any. To assure the
peace which we are determined
will follow this war, the United
States must secure many SINH
lar military bases in other parts
of the world.
They will be built, largely, on
long-leased territory of foreign
states.
Their purpose will be military
or strategic.
They should not be beach,
heads for further territorial ac-
QUESTION.
They should not disturb the
political life Of the inhabitants
outside of our own Notifications
ana military reservations.
THIS is not a new expedient
l. in the history of war and
peace.
The British fertilization and
naval base at Gibraltar is only
one important example, and it
dates from 1713.
If world peace is to be
guarded after this war there
may be fifty Gibraltars left in
Allied possession, and many Of
them, fittingly, would be Amer
lean strongholds.
Great Britain, in her grants
Of bases to US, has shown the
way, and if this proud state can
willingly make such concessions
for the common defense of the
peace, other nations should be
ready to follow.
The force of this example will
be destroyed if the grant of a
base is followed by our demand
for outright territorial cession.

WASHINGTON Scene

BECAUSE of conditions, and
- extension of its activities,
the state department has had
10 employ hundreds of new
ladies, none of whom had been
trained in the noble traditions
of the stately pile next door to
the White House.
The department finally called
in Mrs. Lucy G.. Mayor of the
Katherine Gibbs School, go

school. as l understand it, is a
sort of Vassar, or maybe Bryn
Mawr. of secretarial and re-
ceptionist schools.
Then Mrs. Mayo cased the
joint--er. looked over the situa-
tion-and enlisted the help of
Miss Madeline Darling, who
handles the charm department
Of a magazine called Vogue.
Wearing charming smiles that
must have hurt. the two ladies
went about the state depart
ment spraying charm into all
corners.
They have been at il for two
and a half months now, and
report good progress. They
have even worked their way
into the office Of the great
Michael j. McDerTnott, chief Of
the departments division of cur
rent information, where Mrs.
Nell Cromer is the receptionist.
MRS. CROMER is a very de-
AVA lectable-looking number, in
case you don't know.
l asked Mrs. Cromer how she
was getting on with her charm
but she has been schooled in
state department caution and
said:
