tory and is Improving.

New York April 23.-L S. Rowe of
the Porto Rlcan code commission has
arrived here from San Juan. He brings
with him the report Of the commission
appointed by the President in June ot
last year. After presenting this report
Dr. Rowe viii return to San Juan to as.
sumo the craftsmanship Of the new code
commission appointed by Gov. Alien
Speaking Of the situation in the
Islands Or. Rowe said.
THE statements concerning porto

The different points OF view represented
In the statements that have recently mn.
peared are to be explained by the fact
that Porto Rico, after period OF uncer.

ereignty is now settling down 10 the
solution OF the problems which should
have been faced a century ago.
The spirit OF pessmIsm which small
element Of the population seems intent
on keeping alive loses Its Justification
when the Porto Rico Of today Is com.
pared with the Porto Rico Of 1899. To-
day a fully organized government in
which the people are actively partlci.

property rights throughout the Islands

mo one will Tor moment contend
that all or even the greater part Of the
economic and political problems con-
fronting the island have been solved
Nothing less than miracle could have
worked such change But II II equal
ly clear that a firm and lasting f0unda-
ton has been laid for the gradual sou.
tion OF these important questions, such
as the regulation Of the coffee and to-
bacco districts, the development II the
fruit trade, etc, upon which the future
prosperity Of the island will largely de-
pend.
1T must be borne In mind that Porto
Rico has passed through three radical
changes Of political system IN as many
years. First came the change under
Spanish rule from absolutsm 10 the
autonomous regime; then the arbitrary
rule of military government, and, final
ly, the more liberal system introduced
by the Foraker act II Is not surpris-
ing that under such circumstances the
spirit of unrest should have developed.
II Is only within the last six months
that Porto Rico has quietly settled
down, determined 20 help itself and
solve its own problems
