The record OF alien landlOrulSm,
founded on the conquest of the
sword and the purse, regardless
OF human rights, is black and
cruel rehearsal of the Murder OF
nations, filling the world with
mourning.
The remedy for such a system in
Porto Rico was intended to be ac-
4 complished when the United
States Congress passed the Fora
lier Act on April II, 1900, the
first Organic Law Of Porto Rico
that was in full force until after
the Jones Act" become operative
On March ,, 1917.
Regarding the difference be-
tween the varieties Of landlordism,
whether alien or domestic, it may
be said that under the alien sys-
TEN the money was paid as rent
in other way goes out of the Is
land. and thus the absences CON
ttols the domestic monetary cir
culat;on, the prices of all property
and the wealth created by labor.
The organized landlordism in
Porto Rico is only an implement
for exacting profits and rents
simple, terrible and brutal in their
/ designs, as a revolver in the hands
of a peremptoIy road agent. At
any rate, the UU. SIS. Congress
was willing to prevent and remedy
/ in Porto Rico such a barbarous
system by inserting in the Organic
Law of 1900 the following pro-
visions:
..No corporation shall be autho-
rizea to conduct the business Of
buying and selling real estate or be
/ permitted to hold or own real esta-
tte except such as may be reason
ably necessary to enable it to carry
out the purpose for which it was
created. and ecery corporation

But Alas. The Military Bureau
Of Ensular Affairs, under the
guidance of General Mcintyre, the
| Governors and Executive Council
Of the Island of Porto Rico, all
Of them appointed by the Presi-
dent of United States up to, March
1917, have consented, permitted
and even protected the open VIC
llation of these constitutional pro
visions as have been established
in Message from the President
of the United States to the Senate

The Homestead Act passed by
the Legislature of Porto Rico have
been held by the Governor with
out being put it in operation, and
the. Military Bureau of Insular
Affairs of Washington under the
guidance of General Mcintyre has
given out an opinion against the
law. The Military Bureau of In.
sular Affairs; or at least General
Mcintyre is in favor of mOnopO-
Hsation rather than to give a

and individuals are able to divide
up among themselves aud take out
of the island each year an average
of $::,3, OIL 1924, of net profits, rents
and shares This have been re-
peated for the last five years.
The Insular Government eX-
penses with all the 70 municipal
lities never have been permitted
to go further than $7,0G0,000 each
year.
Corporations and great proper
,ty rights of the rich have triumph
ed over every human right of the
workers of Porto Rico.
According to an Executive for
mula everything the poorer pea
SAINTS own can be seized and throw
out or pay the fine, if they remain
in the land of their own country.
In accordance with the last re-
port of Mr.. Il. Gambia CordOva,
of the Department of Agriculture
and labor the Island has about
10000 Acres of land without any
kind of cultivation.
We have only 100000 acres cul-
tivated.
Can the Legislature of Porto
Rico remedy the miserable condi-
tions of the masses of the people
by regulating wealth, land, pro
fits and labor power?
No; not without the advise and
Indirect consent of the Military
Bureau of Insular Affairs of
Washington which is the counsel
lor of the President, Congress and
Secretary of War. The Governor
of Porto Rico is a mere agent of
he invisible powers that guide the
spirit and materialistic cOncep-
tions and ingenious purposes OF
General Mcintyre. Our Resident
Commissioners of Porto Rico in
Congress have been lead always
by those refined and over intel
ligent invisible powers.

years have been in vogue to train
