Paving tribute TO James r. Byrnes,
Director OF Economic Sterilization
for his courageous aflnoupc cement
that the federal government Is de-
termined to keep prices and rents
from rising, State OPA director
Chester p. BoWles In radio address
visualizes success for the control act
during the emergency and post
war era Of prosperity, happiness and
confidence.
Between ten and twenty millions
Of dollars have been saved for ten
antS in Connecticut. Workers and
farmers have been assured probsc-
ton from selfish groups in the bait
tie to keep living costs down and to
further the successful prosecution OF
the war.
Director Bowles' address on anti.
imitation measures and general word
picture Of state conditions was as
follows:
I wonder how many of you heard
James z. Byrnes on the radio q
week ago yesterday. Mr.. Byrnes, as
you know, Is Director Of Economic
Sterilization He Is the second man
to the president himself on all
problems that have to do with us
! civilians.
Now Mr.. Byrnes made the kind
Of statement that personally have
been waiting and hoping to hear.
He stated with great emphasis that
the federal government Is deter
mined to keep prices and rents from
going UP.
He made It clear that he wound
back the anti-inflation policies Of
the OPA to the full limit Of his abil-
ity regardless Of pressure from
farm groups, labor groups or BUSH
ness groups which may plead for
special rights and considerations.
was glad to hear Mr.. Byrnes say
these things, because, frankly, !
have been worried.
Living Costs
Our present fight to keep the liv-
ing costs from rising is q terribly
important part Of the program to
win the war, and, Just as important,
to win the peace. II we lack the
courage or the ability to protect our
people against imitation, we will face
economic disaster when the war is
oyer. The wild price rises which
would surely follow, would sweep

Ing that the sugar people never had
so good q year as l042, notWith-
standing the effects Of the war.
Nevertheless, I have been told
Of several instances In which capi-
tai hitherto invested in Puerto
Rican sugar Is moving to Florida
and to San Domingo. Certain
major interests--some were iden-
titled TO r1e--have bought sugar
land and mills In Florida already.
Others are negotiating, and yet
others are considering moving out.
This capital, then, will not be
available for the development Of
new industrial or agricultural enter
prises In Puerto Rico. And until
such enterprises are introduced, the
islanders will continue living on
rice, dried beans, and Goldfish; will
continue living in shacks that would
be low-type slum dwellings els.-
where; will continue raising physi-
cally stunted; rickety, mentally in
ert new generations.
The only aspect Of the Tugwell-
Munoz program which is aimed at
expanding the islands economy, to
raise the general standards Of liv-
Ing on self-supporting basis, is
the Development Bark-D Develop
lnent Company setup.
Governor Tugwell believes that
contrary to previous assertions, the
island has raw materials upon which
o relatively prosperous, nnany-faced
Industrial program can be based.
MANY BY-PRODUCTS "
Small deposits Of iron ore have
been found. There are at least
two deposits Of manganese. The
local clay is suitable for making
excellent glass as well as china,
earthenware, tiles, etc.
Cane, directly and indirectly,
he believes can be made the
source Of many by-products. Yeast,
butyl alcohol, acetone, citric acid,
potassium sulphate for fertilizers
now imported, perfumes, motor fuel,
candy, Hllarmalades from native
fruits, soft drinks, flavorings, etc.,
are potential by-products Of the
sugar and molasses from cane.
The bagasse (crushed cane pulp
can be made into artificial woods,
rayon, paper, filler for plastics,
among other things.
A new termite-proof bamboo,
suitable for furniture. has been de-
veloped. A plant is being built in
Mayague1 to make bags from cocoa
nut fibre mixed with siSal from
Haiti. This year 100000 worth Of a

BY the widest stretch Of Inn
agirlatlon, the land program would
give s. more Q year to each per-
son. S26 more q year to the average
family.
That wouldn't be much to q
continental American laborer. It
would mean more to q Puerto
Rican jlbaro, on top Of his normal
500 q year. To that extent the
land program would have benefited
the downtrodden majority here.
DEBUNK PARCEL PLAN
But unfortunately this is only
half Of the story. It assumes not
only the oversimplifications men,
toned above, but also that ignor-
ant, iliiterate, inprovident jibaro
could and would farm his one,
two-or three-acre cane field as eff
ticlently as the big companies are
cultivating their rnany-thousand-
acre estates.
some enthusiasts contend that
efficiency will not fell off II the
cane fields are parceledS out to
the workers. They are in q min
GRITTY. Most experts, and Cover
\ nor Tugwell, agree that large
scale operation Is essential to ef-
flciency.
The Governors spokesman did
not challenge my conslusion,
based upon talks with cane ex-
perts, that the decrease in eff
cheney will eat UP most, II not
all. Of the profits now going to
wealthy owners.
In that event, there would be no
net gain from the land distribu-
ton program, 30 far as monetary
income was concerned. The ben
efits would be largely psycholog.
teal, plus whatever foodstuffs the
new landowners might raise for
theR own consumption.
SUGAR CAPITAL EXODUS
Moreover. the land distribution
program, upheld in large part by
the supreme Court, Is frightening
capital out Of Puerto Rico. John

new long staple cotton Of the Sea
Island type has been raised. Experts
call It the best in the world, and in
creased planting is planned.
But all such things require cap
ital - large capital, II they are to
more than double the islands an
nual economic income. And private
enterprise says that, In view Of the
specialization now going on, 1t could
not feel safe, remaining In Puerto
Rico to finance these things.
The Tugwellites reply that pri-
vate capital never has been avail
able for such purposes, so there is
no loss. The Development Com
pany financed by the Development
Bank, is designed to meet this need.
