Help for Puerto Rico
Urged by Pittenger

Pointing out that the Island is a good
consumer of dairy products and other
commodities which Minnesota produces
in large quantities, Congressman VIII
liam A. Pittenger, Duluth, in a special
interview on impending economic pros
tration of Puerto Rico, today suggested
"a study Of conditions there to de-
termine how the conditions might be
improved.
Congressman Pittenger said he was
in favor of proposal to establish in
duStry committees to determine what
minimum wages should be established
for the Island, and said that he also
favored increasing the sugar quota so
that both the Puerto Ricans, who he
pointed out are American citizens, and
the sugar producers IN the United
States, should have larger share of the
American market.
The object of the wage-hour law is
TO benefit labor" he pointed out, 'but
If 1t Is too rigid, it will cause un-
employment. That seems to be what
has happened in Puerto Rico. Con-
ditionS are different down there from
what they are here, and it is not
natural to assume That the standards
would work here and there"
The Duluth congressman said that
he thought a lot of exemptions would
have to be made under the wage-hour
law IN order to make it workable. THAT
isn't politics" he said. Its lust good
common sense. If we place too great
burden on industry, it viii hurt the
working man rather than help him"
Commenting on the sugar quota stu
alton, Congressman Pittenger said that
while he believed in trade with foreign
nations, he thought that since this
country isn't capable under present
conditions of producing all the sugar it
consumes, a larger portion of the
market should go TO Americans. "And
that means Puerto Rico, as well" he
pointed out, "since they are Americans"
They are our good customers down
there, and if We don't allow them to
produce for Us, how can we expect them
to buy our products?" He added that
while little of their dairy and other
purchases from the United States likely
comes from Minnesota, anything they
purchase from the eastern States helps
relieve the surplus and gives the eastern
people more money to buy Minnesota
products.
