Freedom Move by Puerto Rico Held 111-Timed Rev. McGowan Contends Economic Adjustment Is More Important. BY THE REV. R. A. IVTGOWAN The bill calling for a Puerto Rican vote on independence came not wholly as a surprise; something of the sort has been under discussion publicly in Puerto Rico and privately in Washington. But this bill is fashioned so as lo ask Puerto Ricans to vote yes or no to the proposition: Shall Puerto Rico commit suicide? Puerto Rico is a small marvelously beautiful island at the turn of the West Indies. Its people live from the sugar, tobacco, coffee and fruit industries, and lately, from Federal relief money. They sell most of what they grow < except coffee) to the United States and buy from the United States most of their food, clothing and housing. It is an outrageously unbalanced way of working and living—exporting nearly all of their land and their work, and importing nearly all the goods they use. Puerto Rico is a kind of factory-town. And the reason is this: Puerto Rican leaders themselves a generation ago and we, when we got control, decided that that was the way to live. Concentrate on a few money crops. Estaolish large corporations, Set up big landlords. Dispossess the masses of the people. Turn them into farm laborers. Pay them little. Work them hard in the farming seasons. Let ’em rot at other times. But give them schools. It is the fashion in Puerto Rico to blame the United States wholly. But some Puerto Ricans themselves wanted it and helped it. For that was the roaefr to progress! In the progress three things happened—poverty grew to terrible proportions. I Lands and resources not needed for ! these cash crops fell out of use; ! for there was no great domestic | market, since the masses of the peo- ! pie in their poverty lived on the i cheapest and most filling imported foods, like rice and salt fish and beans. The chief ownership of sugar, fruit, tobacco, banking and trade fell into the hands of continental Americans. Here is a situation that can not be met by a grandiose gesture. The Federal government has been pouring relief money into the island, even if in smaller amounts per person and per person unemployed than here in the States. It has also inaugurated a program looking ta land distribution, increasing productibn for home use, setting up a "yardstick” to regulate the prices and wages that the sugar mills pay, encouraging co-operatives, etc. It looks like a very good program. In December the American chief of police was shot and there have been disturbances both before and since. A small Nationalist Party has been blamed. The sugar interests, chiefly Continental American, are fighting the new economic program. So, too, are some of the coffee owners who are Puerto Ricans. Puerto Ricans are a capable, fins people. You like them. The terrifying cross currents of forces and ideas threaten to engulf them, however.
