PORTUGUESE NATIONAL

CELEBRATIONS

Eleven Years Of Progress

The anniversary of the establishment of the Republic of Portugal falls on the Fifth of October, and to-day is, therefore, the National Day of the Portuguese, and to the Portuguese wherever they may be it has always been a day of light-hearted refolding, and their thoughts turn to their Mother-land and its happy state, because happiness and contentment now obtain among the people there.

When it is recalled that the Republic of Portugal is still young-it was founded in 1910-and is therefore only 27 years old, the transformation that has taken place in Portugal dur- Ing the last few years is all the more remarkable. Before the establishment of the Republic. Portugal had become a decadent and poverty-ridden country, but after the first fifteen years of the republican regime, during which political demagogues juggled with the happiness of the country, where was little enough of progress to justify the establishment of the democratic adminis tration, and when it is known that the growth and prosperity of Portugal had their rise as recently as May. 1926, a little over eleven years ago, one must concede that Portugal's restoration has been marvellous indeed. The transformation is still more marvellous and startling because the change that has taken place is so unprecedentally complete in so many different ways as to make the active and orderly Portugal of to-day, quite un- recognisable from the slumbering and revolt-torn Portugal of old.

Incredible as this seemingly im- possible state of affairs may ap- pear, the clue to er explanation of this fact is simple enough. It can be summed up in, a word good government. The many vari- ed and tremendously great achieve- nients attained by Portugal in such short period of only eleven years have no parallel in the history of the country.
