testified before the Senate

'Committee recently, that

there is no comprehensive

plf1 of development in the

Ur.ited States representa

other, and an agreement is

out of the question, now, and

their country should be

turned over to them again,

civil governor of both coun

tries, and that he be given

plenary powers. He has

the island to, the other, and

knows its productive powers,

its people, and Its.!possibili

ties as no other man. With

a business government in

both countries, we feel safe
