PUERTO RICO'S STATUS

FUERlO klCOS STATUS
 THE PRESENT CONTROVERSY between Governor
 Tugwell of Puerto Rico and the Insular Legislature the expressed desire of the Puerto Rcans to have
 voice in the selection of Tugwelps and their demand for plebiscte their future political status call attention to the colonial problems facing the United States In this problem Congress seems to take only cursory interest. Yet it is we cannot dodge indefinitely if to live up to best tra- dons, and if we to do justice to the peoples who became our wards during imperialist days at the close of the last century and who seek the oppor tunity to decide their destines.
 Governor TugWellS position in vetoing the two bills-both of which probobly will be passed his veto-s that the Puerto Ricans only antagonizng Congress and eopardzing their chances for Congress attention to their aspirations This appears to be realistic and accurate evaluation of the situation If it is, then it is equally indictment of Congress
 The late President Roosevelt and President Truman both have addressed special messages to Congress the last three years urging passage of legislation to give the Puerto Rcans greater home rule In his mes sage of last October 16 MT. Truman suggested that they be allowed to indicate in plebscite not only whether they preferred different status but what of four they preferred. When such preference had been voted he said that should be prepared grant whichever of the four alternatves-home rule state hood, independence dominion status--the Puerto Rcans selected Three ago in his special message urging enactment of bill granting larger measure of home rulea bill which the Senate passed but the House shelved-Mr Roosevelt said that there was no question 'of the Puerto Ricans' ability to ad- minister their affairs"
 The question of what we shall do with our colonial empire must seem remote to the average citizen. But if we ourselves not aware of it, we may be sure the rest of the world s We cannot ask other nations to grant independence autonomy to their colonies if Congress is nsenstve to the aspiration of the people of our possessions. Even benign rule such has been generally in the Philippines Puerto Rico, in Guam and in Samoa is not good enough if denies to the peoples of colonies that right decide their destinies to which the great majority of the people of this country whoeheartedy ded- cated. more of our citizens became interested in the problem perhaps Congress might be stimulated to do

The beneficial effects of music on

Sometimes I don't even receive

for these boys" With that in mind,
he is spending much of his free time
in the service hospitals. He some
times plays for seven hours straight

himself, the audience which was

well as large collection of hams
that ever gathered nightly in one
spot. They recognized, the Orson
Welleses, Laughtons, and all the 9TH

mimicry, but the evidence of a sup
