Ii the Administrator PIan for Re-

Washington. Jan. 1.-the principal sub
ject Of discussion at todAy's cabinet meet

status OF Porto RICO. The President and
the members OF the cabinet are very
much IN earnest in their advocacy OF ac-
ton by congress and particularly desire
a material reduction in the present tariff
duties on imports from Porto Rico 20 the
United States In fact. Il was stated to-
day that an entire removal OF the duties
would be eminently satisfactory should
congress so decide. AS Il Is. q Is point
ed out, the Porto Ricans are practically
shut out OF our markets. with the result
that business OF ell kinds IS staznan,.
and a general depression In all branches
OF industry prevails throughout the
island. Although the president has No
thought OF urging his views upon the at
tention Of congress. he feels very strong
Is the necessity OF some action which
shall define their political status and re-
lieve the islanders from the present de-
pressing conditions.
