League of Nations
Probably Will Have
Own Diplomatic Corps
GENEVA, May 13. Humors that
the seat of the French embassy
in Switzerland would Te trans
ferred to Geneva are based on a
misunderstanding, according to
information from Berne.
It is said that the rumor has
some connection with the fact
that the committee on organiza
tion of the League of Nations is
examining the question of creat
ing a special diplomatic branch,
which will enjoy the same privi
leges with governments as em
bassies and legations, such as the
right of extra territoriality and
the use of ciphers,and diplomatic
couriers.
If this step Is finally decided
upon, it is probable that the great
powers will each have two distinct
diplomatic missions in Switzer
land one at Berne, with the
Swiss government, and the other
at Geneva, the seat of the League
of Nations.

PORTO RICO ELATED
BY VISIT OF II
I
Felix Cordova Davila, Porto Rlcan
commissioner in the House, lias re
turned to his office after a protracted
stay In Porto Rico, where he was
host to the special Congressional
delegation that recently visited the
island.
"The visit of the delegation did
more to create sentiment favorable to
the United States and the people In
this country than anything America
ever done," Mr. Davila said.
"That peersonal contact with a
group from Congress is going to help
us politically, economically, and in
many other way?." he continued.
"My impression is that the visit Is
going to do much toward our getting
self-go ernment."
Mr. Davila outlined the program
which he will work for during the
next session of Congress. It will be:
Asks 5-eent Coffee Duty.
An act placing a 5-cent duty on
coffee. Coffee Is the second industry
in Porto Rico.
An appropriation for more exten
sive educational facilities in Porto i
Rico.
An appropriation for dredging the
harbor and providing better trans
portation facilities.
An act looking to self-government
for Porto Rico.
An act authorizing the President
to name a native as governor of the
island.
"The present governor of Porto
Rico an Amerlcan-oes not speak
our language," said. Mr. Davila. "He
is 'forced to use an Interpreter.
"f)nly a" native can understand our
people. "We have some of the most
intelligent people to be found any
where and wc feel that we arc ca
pable of self-government.
For America, First and Lul.
"Wc are for America, first, laat
and al the time, and the American
flag is our flag."
Mr. Davila is advocating the pas
sage by the Porto Rican legislature
of a law prohibiting a corporationor
an individual from owning or con
trolling more than 2,000 acres of land.
"We have one corporation down
there which owns 30,000 acres of land
and controls 20,000 acres more," he
said.
"Our aim is more small landowners.
Because of the fact that most of the
land and money is in the hands of
a few the labor situation is serious
with us. Most of the people of the
Island, particularly the laboring ele
ment, is dependent, and therefore
cannot dictate terms."

FAIR TO BE SUCCESS
Miss Amy duPont. of Wilmington,
DeL,. owner of an internatlonaljy fam
ous stable of harness horses, will be
a competitor at Washington's annual
horse show, which begins at Arling

provide unusually interesting sport,
as the stables of A. W. Atkinson, of
Camden, N". J., and Joseph Wiesenfeld,
of Baltimore, which have won laurels
at Madison Square Garden and other
shows, are entered.
The management has added to the
program a class for five-gaited saddle

Among the entries received for this
class are those of Agnes Gayle John
ston, E. I. Rosenfield and Avery Coon
