trusts; that law, limiting tue aCqu1S1-
tion of lands, has been the means of
preventing the absorption of our
wealth, which but for its existence
would have been in ne possession of
the trusts.
It is considered prejudicial, con-
trary to American development in the
Island and opposed to the investment
of capital here. President Roosevelt
attacked the law vehemently in his
Atlanta speech. An American news
paper of large circulation, carried
away by the error of the President,
believed that the Porto Rjcan problem
could be solved by the abrogation Of
this law.
A treacherous and disloyal journa-
list affirmed that one Of the principal
sources of the .reigning disaffection
here was the existence of the above
law against which public opinion vi
gorously protested.
The effect of its abrogation can be
readily foreseen.
1t would not be the ruined colonists
! who would obtain the coveted lands;
it would be the continentals, the ever
lasting continentals, with unlimited
command of gold, who would acquire
them.
The President has said that the
problem of Porto Rico is industrial
rather than political.
The case is an Interesting one.
On the one hand we have the usur-
pers with all their resources; on the
other, the owners gagged and muz-
zled.
Mr.. Roosevelt has had fatal dexte-
rity.
The problem is of interest, which 1t
necessary to defend.
And those interests are threatened
with the giving of citizenship, with
! it thew wodld remain without the least
defence; they would be at the mercy
of an insatisb BILE and greedy usurpation.
This is the lamentable truth. the
painful and distressing reality.
And to the foreseen liquidation. the
President has contributed his aid as
supreme liquidator, because his views
are mandates, his desires, law, and
his designs respecting us favor the
protection of those who wish TO take
from us the little that is left.
Before this we had hopes OF justice
from the President; when the func-
tionaries Of exportaoion manifested
their hatred towards the Exploited
lcolony we still had the belief and
trust that the omnipotent Mr.. Roose~
ve1t would protect us,
| And we continued IN this belief
Iuntil we learned the text of his latest
message to Congress.
We were looking for justice from
higher power, always trusting that It
would not be necessary to measure all
American officials by the criterion
furnished by he functionarjes here,
that there would be in the ohclal at
mosphere of Washington men not yet
contaminated, that there remained men
Just and loyal, patriots without ulterlor
designs, interpreters of true democracy
and incorruptible servants OF justice.
With that hope we have been endu-
ring the misery of seven long years,
and God knows we are loth to abandon
it. -,
That is all that has made it possible
| for us to bear the yoke that has been
placed upon us without reaching a
State of desperation.

Nothing more logical tnan tnc Se-
neral discomfort that has been provo
ked bv that part of the Presidential
message which refers to Porto Rico.
The puerile recommendation made
to Congress that it grant the Island
American citizenship-but in special
form-hes not lessened the painful
effect of the rest of the message refer
ring to us.
On the contrary, the Recommended
ton for citizenship at the present cri-
tical time, is a new cause OF unrest
and prudent watchfulnes.
We do not purpose in the present
article to analyze the degree of falsity
in the title of citizenship without
rights and without attributes, nor do
we intend to measure the grade of
absurdity which il contains, mas
much as the naming of Our officials
and Legislators continues in the hands
of the national Executive, Dotwlth-
standing the unanimous desire of the
colony and its demand for the change
of system so brutally military.
1t is an absurd contrast which is pre-
sented by the fact that Porto Ricans
residing in the mother country have a
vote in the national elections for the
candidates for the chief positions and
that these same electors have to re
sign themselves to accepting, in their
own country the will of another, ha-
wing the suffrage curtailed or only
partially accorded, owing to the con-
fusion of powers vested in the torml-
dable political trust of the Executive
Council.
We will touch on these matters on
some future occasion.
Today it is our duty to analyze
the serious phase of citizenship and
its aspect of danger, accepting with
a natural mental reserve what has
been said by the President-with
pretentions of advice-that the probl-
ems of the Island are commercial and
industrial rather than political.
Let us pause here. Let us comp
are the statement with the recomm-
endation for citizenship and the rem
arks of the President in the course OF
his address at Atlanta advising the
Iabrogation of the law which limits
the amount of land that may be
acquired by corporations in Porto
Rico, let US. we say, compare the
striking coincidence and mediate
upon it profoundly.
They, j. IN the United States nc
law fixing the amount of property
that may be acquired, or limiting nat
ional production; hence the alarming
increase and power of the trusts which
have come to be serious menace to
the country.
By our becoming American citizens
we would be placed in the same
position as the continentals.
Then it would be said that the pre-
sent law is unconstitutional and that
it could not be made applicable 10
citizens of the great Republic; then 1t
would be said that in country whose
natives are citizens of the United Sta
tes, a law cannot exist that limits and
curtails the faculties and rights that
Americans have on the continent,
and, then would be asked the repeal
of the law so much objected to at the
present time.
Let no one imagine that we are ex-
aggerating.
That law is a protection against the
