...Washington on insular business, Governor Blanton Winship of Puerto Rico called in the Press, gave them a glowing report on conditions in the island, belittled recent disturbances, ducked any direct mention of the Tydings bill. Said this onetime soldier: "The past two years in Puerto Rico have been free of serious trouble. Too much publicity has been given to the assassination of Colonel Riggs. . . .

Mr. Winship's poem, "The Saturday Evening Post" has a proper satiric intention, but it is not accomplished very sharply.
