PALABRAS PREMATURAS

Los cablegramas die aver nos han
dado dos noticias en- cierto modo, con-
tradictorias, una de elias dice que: ha-
biendose prometido Puerto Rico ell go
,bierno propio bajo La bandera america
ma, debe concedersele la ciudadan1a.
Esto sc diio en las conferencias de La
ke-Mohonk Y, por su parte, ha dicho
ell presidente Wilson que ell hemisferio
Occidental debe dedicarse al sagrado
prop6sibo de que no pueda durar en-
ninguna parte un gobierno manchado
con sangre sostenido por algo que no
sea ell consentimiento de los goberna>
dos.
Estas declaraciones del presidente
Wilson deben ser recogidas en- Puerto
Rico. donde todavia sc esta mantenien-
do aqui un gobierno que no esta soste-
nido por ell consentimiento de los 60
bernados. Cierto es que existe la pro-
mesa de reformar en- sentido democra-
tico ell status de Puerto Rico, pero no
basta la promesa; es precise que uno de
los primeros proyectos de ley que Sc
envien al parlamento, sea Ell de la re-
forma de la ley organica para Puerto
Rico. De esperar es que ell presidente
Wilson mejor enterado, que los confe.
renciantes de Lake Mohonk, de 10 que
constituye la aspiration de los puerto
rriqueiios, no acepte la curiosa salida
de que: en- vista de haberse ofrecido 4
Puerto Rico ell gobierno propio, Sc lie
adjudiuue ahora la ciudadania ameri-
cana.
La ciudadan1a es cosa que esta va
descontada No sc Qe dara q Puerto Ri
co una ciudadan1a que no quiere. Pero
debe darsele una forma de gobierno tan
amplia, que Ell pals tenga verdadera
oportunidad de probar sus aptitudes
para gobernarse.
Las palabras de Wilson no tienen
otra Interpretation Uni como habrian
de darsela esos pueblos los cuales
quiere hablar ell presidente dem6crata
desde ell colegio Swarthmore?, I'm po-
co mas tarde, las palabras de Wilson
hubieran sonado mejor, cuando Puerto
Rico no este sometido all solapado feu-
dalismo del regimen que ahora soporta.
En- los momentos actuales, los 60
biernos y los pueblos de la America La
tina han de pensar en- Puerto Rico,
comparando su realidad politica con las
palabras de Wilson, y de esta IRENE
diable comparacion quedara muy debi-
litado ell efecto sermoneante de las fra
ses presidenciales.
Lo que olga Estados Unidos atenido
su poder offensive, podra tener la
fuerza material en- que Sc apoye una
amenaza de Intervention; pero la fuer-
"a moral, esa esta muy quebrantada
desde hace ounce amos, y no es con
discursos como puede curarse.
