Towner said. “They may live in the mountains, illiterate and housed in a hut, but they are always clean, immaculate in their housekeep- ing and neat in appearance. They are readily receptive of whatever meas- ures may be taken for their benefit.” o far as politics is concerned, . Towner said, the last election monstrated an overwhelming may- Coolidge and Gov. Towner. The governor and the heads of the various departments of the Porto Rican government have for the past 10 days been in conference with offi- clals of departments here on a num- ber of questions relating to Terri- torlal administration, and eome of thess questions, although of rela- tively minor {mportance, have come to the attention of the President. Mr. Towner today presentéd answers to inquiries which had arisen in the President's mind, and in discussing island affairs generally, informed the Executive that the general prosperity of the island was even greater than States, To Return Next Week.

Some o sition to the measure, which pass the Senate last session, has been manifested in the House, and the Porto Rican group fears that this op- position will prevent unanimous con- sent for consideration of the legisla- tion before adjournment.

The political situation, although rufiied occasionally by disputes and minor dissentions, was characterized as being satisfactorily healthy. With these conditions prevailing, therefore, it was pointed out by Gov. Towner, and in the absence of the development of bona fide oppesition, the prospect looms bright for self government of Porto Rico by 1932. TOWNER SEES COOLIDGE.
