JOVENES DELINCUENTES.

Los edifcios destinados q la Escue-
la Correctional para J6venes Delin-
cuentes, en- Mayaguez, estan completa,

casi so de estos j6venes criminales para
quienes no hay sitio en- la Escuela Co.
rreccional, estan en- la actualidad re-
cluldos en- las carceles de la Isla en-
contacto con criminales empedernidos
Els sin duda impossible al presente, por
falta de fondOs, ampliar este ediicio :;
pero es una gran desgracia y al mis-
mo tempo es injusto que ell Gobierno
establezca distinciones en- esta forma
entire los j6venes delincuentes de la
Isla. CreO que es possible encontrar un
medic para remediar provisional par
cialmente esta situaci0n, organizando
sin gastos un sistema de cortes para j0-
venes delincuentes, que podrlan ser
atendidas por los jueces regulares, ira
tando los casos de delincnuencia de los
adolescentes de tai manera que sc evi.

ha sido seguido en- muchos Estados de
America con buenOs resultados, re-
comiendo que Sc haga aqu1 una prueba,
en- vista especialmente de la situaci0n

Para terminar hare un breve bosque-
Jo de las Operaciones del Tesoro, las
cuales, por supuestO, pueden ser pues-
tas ampllamente de manifesto ante vo-
sotrOs pOr ell Tesorero en- cualquier mo
mento. Debido a una desgraciada pc
rO inevitable tardanza ocurrida en-
Washington, fue impossible efectuar la
venta de ninguna parte de la gran emf
sion de bOnos de Puerto Rico, al por
ciento, por valor de $2,4OO.OOO autori-
zada por la Ultima Asamblea Legislat:-
va, antes de que estallara la guerra ell
ropea con sus enormes pcrturbaciones
del mercadO monetario de todos los

de conducta y utilizando cuidadosl-
mente toda oportunidad, hemos efec-
tuado la venta, por ell valor de $2.O55,-
OOO, aun durante la perturbation inan-
clera causada por la guerra, de esos bo-
nos, todos sobre una base de interes no
mayor del y cuarto por ciento. Esta
operaci6n esta reconocida como muy sa-
tisfactoria, teniendo en- cuenta las con-
dlclones del mercado monetario, asf
como por constituir una prueba convin-
cente de la solidez del credito de la
lsla. Ningdn gobierno en- ninguna par
te ha podido hacer NADIA mejor No es
necesario vender ell resto de los bonos.
