An unknown witness relates an incident in which he reports that a likely-inebriated Governor of Puerto Rico Regis Henri Post unleashed a slew of verbal abuse on the Puerto Rico School Superintendents, with particular acrimony aimed at Assistant Commissioner of Education Everett W. Lord. One redacted section quotes Post accusing the superintendents of being the second largest cause of anti-American sentiment in Puerto Rico, behind only the missionaries. The recounting of Post’s attempts to apologize the next day does not suggest the superintendents were willing to forgive Post.
