PORTUGAL'S REVIVAL Work of Dr. Salazar Praised Again-
An interesting lecture on Dr. Salazar, the Portuguese Dictator, was given to a large gathering of Portu- guese at the Club Lusitano last night by Father W. P. MacDonagh, B.
Father MacDonagh described the chaotic pass to which Portugal had descended under liberalism, how her budget had not been balanced for over a hundred years, how she was slowly ceasing to be a nation, and how this great and simple man had not only pulled his country out of ruin but had set her on the highrend to great prosperity within a Iow years.
