His enemies label him dictator; friends regard him as the great habilitator. Gomez leaped into the limelight of the world’s news not long ago when he refused to accept the presidency of Venezucla. Congress had named him to succeed himself in that office, Gomez then startled his countrymen by refusing to accept the honor. Startled, they named a committee to call on him, to beg him to change his mind. Adamant, he refused. Instead, he offered to accept a post 10 be known as commander-in-chicf. The offer was accepted. Not many days later Gomez announced that he had ordered some of his generals to put down a subversive movement in three states in the northern part of the country. Meanwhile Juan B. Perez, chief justice of the supreme court has been acting president. Ho was named to that place whea Gomez's former term expired. ts and Legends Gomez is almost a legend: figure abroad, because Venezuela has been almost cut off from the outsidc world by munications. however, are the legends. He has been a leader in Venecrzu- elan military affairs and politics since 1899, the president or presi- dent-elect for 20 years, Twice prior to his recent step he left the presi- denzy in charge of another, while he put down an insurrection or re- mained at the head of the army. In 1914 he was reclected president but Qid not take office until 1921, when he was again reelected. In April of this year congress named him tor another 7-year term. Has Vast Wealth Gomez is one of the richest mon in South America, his propertivs being valued as high as $100,000,000 by business associates. Probably only Simon Batino, the Bolivian tin | king, outranks him on this continent, The Venczueian general is the big- gest land owner in South America. He has one ranch valued at $4,000,- 000, another worth half as much and « third worth more than the others add together, His personal weekly 260,000 bolivares ($ | thousand persons depend on his terprises for a livelihood. He sends cacao to Liverpool and Hamburg; to New York he coffee; he has thousands of rubber trees. He exports cocoanut oil.

So red tape. To him there are three Kinds of specches: “The long poor ones, which are wholly bad; the good but long ones, which are also ba and the short good ones, which alone are good,” His owh messages to congress are short.

The sweep of hair across his wide. forehead is greying, and his mous- taches lack the picaresque upwaid twist of his earlier campaigning photographs. He wears goldrimmeg spectacles part of the time. The Gomez bow bears the true Latin polish, plus a boldness natural to the man who has ruled Venezuela ror two decades. The Gomez dict is a light one. Breakfast znd supper are scant meals. A substantial dinner is eaten in midday.

Not long ago a great ceiba tree in Caracas, the corner of the capitol, was found to be undermining and destroying the foundations of San Francisco church and business build- ings nearby. Permission was asked to cut the trce. Said Gomez: “Let the old tree alone. You can buiid another church in two years, but it takes centuries to grow a ceiba.” Has Never Married Me has never married. “La I’fl(ril{ is my sweetheard; I am too busy for | ceremony right away!" family life,” he explains. His aut- titude toward the church was shown at one of those rare times when he attended mass. It was an official appearance, and as Gomesz entered the building, a priest stepped for- ward with holy water. But at that moment the band struck up Venc- zuela's national anthem, and the president gestured the priest aside while he stood stiffly at salute until the music stopped. “Patria first, then church,” he said. Gomez i8 a believer in the ac- complished. “Let's build the road, then isave the decree,” was his comment when a new highway was being discussed. - Similarly, whea a woman sorrowingly told him that her common-law husband of many years was going to marry legally & young heiress, the general waited until the man himself came and said: “My general, I am going to warry- Y “Marvellous!
