It will bo easier to pay the Increased taxes in tho post-war period than tho lesser tacs of tho pie-war period. All of which bihigs me round to tho point at which I stalled. If our statesmen could havo the vision to muke great national loans for Internal Improvement, such as KOod loads, the cjialnago of swamps, tho inlgallou of the deserts, union schools In our back ward country districts, etc.. tho increased tax able values would more than compensato for the liicieased taxes.

Ills sound American ism has backgi-ound and horUon. HIi calling list In Continental capitals has been largo and Influential for years, Ills I'ngllsh friendships have been many and Im portant.

His father waj,.an Englishman, of family and culture. The Housa mansion, built In Houston moio than half a century ngo, was a show-place of the Southwest. It dlsDensed true southern hosnltalltv anil entertained in the hearty old English fashion. Young scions of thu Hngllsh nobility visited It regularly cut Hunting and sightseeing expeditions. Among tho many guests of then or later distinction wcie Lord Itosebery. the Beres folds, the Curzons, the Duke of Westminster,. oi d Lonsdale, the Cecil family and the Earl of Keimoy. These were the types of Eng lishmen .ouiig House knew from youth. Hit was an Intrepid cross-country rider and a daring hunter, and this community of taste endeared him to the visitors from over seas. Then, too, from boyhood he paid n annual visit to England or the Continent, adding to his list of acquaintances and ex panding his knowledge of men. The elder JlnUEu on lits annual visits to his native land was extensively entertained by thofe who had enjoyed his family's hospitality t Houston and in the big game zone. This is tho source of what might be de scribed ns the "pull" of Colonel Houie abtond, which makes him an acceptable and highly efficient emissary of the Chief Execu tive of the United States In trying missions of diplomacy and war.
