Spain. They were represented as
being an oppressed people. Uncle
Sam gave them their freedom, paid
Spain back for part of the damage
done it, and transported the Span
ish troops home at the expense OF
the American people. Yet look at
Cuba today, after having been sup
ported by Uncle Sam ever since;
a most ungrateful nation, with its
hand out, insulting our flag, and
conniving with our enemies.
Mr.. Green considers just about
every nation we have succored and
lset upon it's feet in recent years
but little better than Cuba. We
have been the losers by our con-
tant system of handouts. We have
won no friends, and in fact lost
some, in his belief. He knows now,
las he knew 81 years ago, that we
cannot buy friendship, that nothing
is So little appreciated as some
thing which one has not earned,
and he thinks that Uncle Sam
should stop trying to give away
everything the American people
have left.
Of course Mr.. Green is wide
awake, and he knows that this
hand-out system is encouraged by
big business which makes profits
out of the exchange of money and
goods and the political power that
comes out of the production OF
great j nte rn a tt n a programs
whereby America is never on the
receiving end.
at never pays to set up your
enemy in business" Mr.. Green says.
He doesn't believe we will have
a hot war soon, although he thinks
Kruschev and Chou En- Lai would
unite right now if things were
ready. They'd jump on us if they
thought they could make it, but
they believe they will gain all their
ends by continuing the cold war;"
Mr.. Green says, and adds: ut looks
like they are doing very well at
it,
Mr.. Green recalls that while in
Pekin during the boxer rebellion,
allies including French, Germans,
Russians and Japs joined hands to
put down the rioting which had be-
gun because of resentment against
missionaries in China. The Boxer
uprising began in June, and with
the aid of 1000 Marines. Pekin was
captured August 14th. Then as
now, Uncle Sam surrendered some
thing. In this Uncle Sam, in the
protocol signed in 1901, surrendered
the right to station troops in
China; and special rights enjoyed
by vessels in Chinese waters. Again,
in 1913, history was repeated when
the United States signed a treaty
with China abolishing extra-ter-
ritorial and other special rights
enjoyed by this country for 100
years.
Mr.. Green is the son of Edward
C. Green who came to Bodies Is
land many years ago from Long
Island, New York. He was engaged
in the fishing business, married
Josephine Montague, and settled
down here. Three children of this
marriage grew to adulthood, one
being Mrs. Emma Tillett of Man
teo. The third was the late Mrs.
lack Hill of Colington.
After leaving the marines in 1904,
Mr.. Green spent three years at
Poyners Hill Station in the Life
Saving Service and another three
years on buoy tenders in the light
house service. In 1910 he married
Miss Carrie Gallop, the daughter
of Capt. Peter Gallop, veteran
light-keeper and head of a large
family. Mr.. and Mrs. Green have
two children, Edward c. Green,
banker of Elizabeth City, who
served in Europe in World War Ii,
and Mrs. NJ. l.. Daniels, Jr., of
Manteo.
