UNA cARTA DE MR.. COOLIDGE


En- una carta que el presidente Coolid-

Presidente dice, entire otras cosas, 10
siguiente:
FL secretario de la Guerra. Mr..
Weeks, me ha enesehado la carta que
ha dirigido al Presidente INFERNO del

nador por el pueblo de Puerto Rico pa
IA terer efecto en- el 1882 y de ali en-
adelante Esta recommendation del Secre-
tario de la Guerra tiene mi mas sincera

tres de la tarde, Y siendo hoy dia Sc.
fialado para la clausura de la presente

gicamente, que esta decision del Conf

le hacen en- cuanto 81 tiene no OPT

este lie releva enseguida de prestar sus

P.-lUd cree, sinceramente, que
la mujer esta mejor capacitada que el
hombre para prestar servicios como jul
rado en- Puerto Rico en- otras par
tes?
Desde luego es impossible con-
testar esta pregunta, excepto que yo
desearia que Sc hiciese un experiment
| to. La raz6n que para clio tengo es
que las mujeres en- varios Estados de
| la Union estan desempefando servi-
clos como jurados del modo mas sa-
tisfactorio. liable con un Juez de una
de las Cortes superiores de New Jer.
sey, quien me dijo que Ell habia estado
utilizando mujeres como jurados en-
casos importantes durantes tres sema-
mas y que elias habia cumplido sus
deberes como tales jurados de modo adj
mirable. Recientemente supe que el
Juez Federal Thompson en- la ciudad
de Philadelphia habfa insaculado ell
primer panel de muieres como jurados
que Sc ha utilizado en- las Cortes Fe-
derales, Y que 81 resultado fue entera-
mente satisfactorio para Ell. Nadie to-
davia me ha sugerido raz6n alguna
por la cual la mujer en- Puerto Rico no
deba gozar de los mismos privilegios
que gozan las mujeres de los varios
Estados de la Union, al respecto de sus
deberes como ciudadanas.
P.-lEs no verdad que prominen-
tes mujeres en- los Estados Unidos y en-
otras parties, quienes Sc ha pregun-
tado acerca de este particular, han
rehusado participar tomar parte en-
las responsibilities cargas que SUI
ponen estos nuevos privilegios v dere-
chos?
R.-Desde luego que esta pregunta
tiene que ser contestada en- La afrma-
tiva. Hay muchas mujeres prominen-
tes en- los Estados Unidos quienes han
expresado su desaprobaci6n de COM
partir con los hombres no solo las res
ponsabilidades inherentes al servicio
de jurado, sino tambi6n las responsa-
bilidades que surgen del derecho de
votar Este hecho, no obstante, no es
motive alguno por Ell cual Sc impida a
aquellas nlujeres que quieran compar-
tir con ell hombre sus deberes ciuda-
