que los problemas aqui son in
dustriales Y comerciales, pro-
blemas econ6micos simplemen-
te, Y ese criterio ha sido ratifi-
cado por nuestra primera au-
toridad que ha dedicado los pri-
meros Y masextensos parrafos
de su mensaje a tratar la cues
ton economical; cuando en- todo
Ell pals sc agitan los elementos
productores que sc han dado
cuenta de su importancia Y de
su alta signihcacion en- la vida
puhlica, sc ha debido poner mas
cuidado, al comenZar las seSio-
mes parlamentarlas, sostenien-
do la nota gubernamental, va
que para clio, por 10 que vamos
viendo. no tendrian que violen-
tarse mucho los elementos par
lamentarios.
iSe nos quiere decir que es 10
que hacemos, que haCen nues-
tros camp pesinos, nuestroS cafe
teros que hacen con la Ciudada-
MIA V hasta con la reforma de la
ley Foraker, 81 la modification
no nos deja en- libertad de con-
tratar los mercados que necesi-
ia la primera industria puerto
rriquena?
Malamente comierzan las Co
sas Y por NAL camino van has
ia ahora.
Los primeros pasos de la le-
gislatura han sidO torpeS.
Y m6nos NAL que Sc lego con
simpatia el mensaje de la Liga
de los muniCipios Y Sc tomo el
unanime acuerdo de apoyarlo.
ST a este Sc hubiera undo la
peticion al Congreso de que Sc
establezca una tarifa protectora
para el cafe, la primera session
de la Camara hubiera sido me-
mora bic y dlgna de todo
APPLAUSE.
De esa manera el pals veria
SuS intereSes defendidOS Y el

en- nuestros legislatures verda-
dera COmpetenCia Y CapaCidad,
exaCtO cOnOCimientO de las ne
.cesidades publicas V absolute

raciones del pals.
De la manera que han Comen-
zadO los cOsas, mucho tememoS
que sea dificil enderezar la
marCha, va que no eS possible
cOntinuar por el camino ini-
Ciado sin grandes exposiciones,
tropiezOs Y peligros.
Es verdad que aun queda
tempo, que Sc puede hacer to-
davia 10 que va debiera estar
hecho, que sc hara sin duda;
porque a todos nos convene y
nos importa que Sc realize
pronto, pero es que el primer
CuidadO de nuestrO parlamentO
ha debidO ser ell de procurar
por la salvaci0n de eSa impOr-
tantisima riqueZa, que eSta Sc
riamente amenaZada de muerte
Habia que demostrar un in
teres supreme en- esa detensa,
y no Sc ha hecho como espera-
ba el pals, como indicaba la
opinion, como nos Convenia a
todos.
En- cambio, Sc ha demostra-
do por otras cosas, Olvidandose
los que tai hicieron de que
las declaraciones de un par

Cuando representa- la voluntad

NOta del dia

La Camara de representatives
ha con6rmado aver 10 que We
nimos diciendo desde que fue
conocido Ell la 1sla aquel frag-
mento del mensaje de Mr.. Ro-
OSevelt.
Junto con la peticion para
que ambos cuerpos legislativos
solicitor, del Congreso de Was -
hington, que sea aprobado un
proyectO de ley, reconociendo la
ciudadania a los puertorrique-
nos, lego la Camara. en- la Sc
sion de aver, un memorial pi-
diendo la reforma de la ley Fo-
raker, en- ell SentidO autOn0miCO
que Constituye la aspiration
general.
Lo que verdaderamente inte-
resa al pals eS eSta reforma
que, no ObStante ser tan neCe-
saria Y tan elemental no Vlene,
sin embargo, con la Ciudadania
recOrtada de la que NADIA Sc
diio en- el mensaje del goberna-
dor.
Que especial ciudadania!
ique extrana. que menguada,
cuandO Sc necesita pedir junto
con ella 10 que es un dereCho
imprescriptible de todo ciuda-
dano!
iQu6 rebajado concepto de =
ben tener de ella los que la pi-
den a la par que solicitan, por
SeparadO la modification del
regimen feudal.
Las dos petiCioneS chOCan en-
tre ST, Sc repelen, Sc inSultan, Sc
deSprestigian, Sc deshonran pu-
blicamente.
Las dos peticiones no caben
juntas en- una session del parla-
mento, nj siquiera en- un perio-
do legislative.
Y puesto que la mas urgen
te eS precise reConocerle una
premlnenCia indiSCutible, la Ca
mara ha debido limitarse a pc
dir la modification del regimen
Foraker, sin dar a comprender
que aquf Sc aCepta, Y, aun Sc
SOliclta, una Ciudadania de puro
nOmbre. cuyos derechOs hay
que pedirlOS Dor SeparadO. q re-
tazos y pOr entregas.
La prisa demostrada para
pedir una ciudadania de la que
nadie espera el mas minimo
benehcio, nj siquiera los mis-
mos delegadoS a la Cdmara que
Sc apreSuran a poner junto al
ruego conSabido Ell memorial
que pide la reforma del r6gi-
men, han debido emplearla, en-
benefiCi0 de los intereses gene
rales y del bien de nuestra pri-
mera industria.
tPOr que en- vez de pedir la
ciudadania, no Sc ha pedido la
protection al cafe2
iACaso la trae la ciudadania
americana?
iQuizas viene con la reforma
de la Ley Foraker?
No De ninguna de las dos
maneras Sc Consigue esa indis-
pensa bic protection; sin en-
barge, no Sc ha pedido antes
quela reforma del regimen, pri-
nero que la ciudadania, prime
ro que todo, la protection al
cafe.
La Camara no aspira, de Sc
