|ckes Opposes Bill
Give Puerto Rico
Full Independence:
Tells Tydines He Fears
Passage Of Measure Now
Might Be Grave Mistake

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary of the Interior Ickes
was on record today against a bill
to give Puerto Rico complete inde-
pendence, on the ground that it
might turn ont to be serious
mistake both from the point of
view of the United States and
Puerto Rico in the light of condi-
tions existing after the war.
Furthermore" he asserted in a
letter to Chairman Tydings of the
Senate Territories Committee, au-
thor of the measure, "the bill offers
the Puerto Ricans only a narrowly
restricted choice between independ-
ence and the maintenance of the
present dependency status"
Mr.. 1ckes said that he favored
giving the islanders an increasing
measure of real control over their
local affairs and recited that the
President has advocated permitting
Puerto Ricans to elect their Gov
ernor and has appointed a commit
tee to study changing the organic

even more weighty, since it involves
the complicated science OF military
supply. It reaches even into the
factories, where production sched-
ules were set long since to produce
the equipment needed, not to supply
just any army, but to supply the
army being prepared for the assault
on Europe.
Similarly, the training of troops
has been geared to the strategy of
beating Germany first. Troops avail
able now or expected to be ready for
combat soon have been instructed
in the tactics and methods required
for the European invasion. They
are not trained for the peculiar con-
ditions of the Pacific war.

familiar with the figures, President
Roosevelt declined yesterday to COM

Meanwhile last night Senator
Chandler called again for an imme-

Speaking On the radio, he repeated

that started a two-hour debate in
