Land of Opportunity
Cincinnati Enquirerl

Cincinnati Enquirer
 Down in the teeming tenements of New York's East Side are gathered 1000 American citizens, fresh from Puerto Rico They sad lot. They without money and in most instances without the opportunity for earning money. They are going on relief" by the thousands They finding little but disappointment in the motherland which, to them, is the land of promise and prosperity To make mat ters worse and of these unfortunate people are arriving each day-and there's little that be done to stop them!
 Puerto Rico is one of the colonial" problems of the United States-a nation which hates to admit that it has problems of this sort Long accepted the responsibility for the country and for it's people Today Puerto Ricans much citizens of the United States the people of Alaska They have exactly the same rights and privileges as the people of Alaska. But their general condition is much diff ferent
 The motherland has done little to improve that condition during the years In those years many of us have complained long and loud, of Englands pol- cies in India We might well have expended the efc:t in attempting solve the problem which has rested so long on our own front door step. The visitor to India and to Puerto Rico finds amazing similarity "a similarity in low standards of living; in general lethargy in deplorable conditions of health and ma nutrition.
 To escape from the horrors of their own land and to seek better homes America. Puerto Ricans are migrating in hordes They finding better homes for all the heat the crowds the discomfort. The worst in New York is better than the bad in Puerto Rico. But their problems now become the rather alarming problem of the City of New York. As 1t stands great majority of the disappointed migrants probably would and wll-vote the Communist ticket The newcomers ready and willing to work Certainly in these days of labor shortages, work can be found for them This shouldn't be too difficult, even when one considers that many of the people speak nothing but Spanish Only recently We saw nun dreds of Spanish-speakng Mexican citizens hard at work in western harvest fields Couldn't our own Puerto Ricans be placed in those same jobs? Indeed the demand for labor is so pressing in many agricu- ural sections that the entire migrant population prob ably could put to work without displacing any per sons holding such posts
 The United States through relief checks is sup porting the newcomers from the Caribbean. But it is making sorry mess of convincing them that democracy is the political concept of freedom and opportunity little money and effort spent in placing these people in jobs where they are badly needed would help both ways. It would make them staunch supporters of way of government, and 1t would increase U s. production at time when such in crease would be boon to the world.

SECRET" PROJECTS

With Territorial Highway Engineer Leonard omith seriously ill in Seattle hospital two members of the Territorial Board of Road Commissioners have started a quiet spending spree that is apt to put SmlthS oe- partmen in the red in a short time. In one meeting the two members-Gov. Ernest Gruening, chairman and Treasurer Oscar Olson, authorized three roaos in Southeast Alaska which may eat up hal1 ol the road funds for the entire year.
 Two of the projects have been authorized without calling for bids though one job will probably run over S10OO0o.
 Close friends of Highway Engineer Smith clam that although he had investigated these three projects he had no thought of authorizing construction
 The law provides that the road funds must De spent equally among the four divisions, but this VIII put the First Division in the lead by more than sl9oooo
 The three projects authorized are at Carlanna Lake at Ketchikan, the Craig -Klawock road, ana a road from Hoonah to the cannery.
 Some time ago Engineer Smith called for bids on the Carlanna Lake road but refused to award con- tract because he thought the bids too high.
 At meeting called by the Governor September IA action was taken to award a contract to the previously low bidder for the Ketchikan job and the other two roads were authorized without bids.
 It is certain that if Smith called for bids on the Caranna Lake road, which involved an expenditure of about S10OO0 lie would have thought oi authorizing the two other roads without asking for bids since one will cost about Sl00O0O and the other about $60000.
 It is understood that after the recent meeting

SPEAKER MARTIN MUSES

SPEAKER MARLIN MOoE'o
 Stocky. scowling Speaker Joe Martin hluntly admitted to close friends recently that the "Eisen- bower loom has politicians wor- ried." Darkly he added that "an undercurrent for MacArthur' also is rustling across the country and might burst into Presidential fire works. Joe didn't seem too happy about this either.
 What if MacArthur should suddenly step off the hoat at San Francisco?" blurted out the earthy, lain-spoken Speaker. Next he would be riding down Fifth Avenue What then? Can't you visualize it? The idea of Macarthur for President could take the country by storm"
 Let me tell you, continued the little man from Massachusetts, ii things get worse in Europe, the people may turn to military man like Eisenhower or Macarthur" ]"
 The Eisenhower boom already has penetrated the grass roots and is gaining strength, Martin con tinued, citing as his source ex- COP candidate Ali Landon. T don't think Ali would kid me, he added
 T am politician, and l know how these booms can pick up mo- mentum." explained the. speaker The Eisenhower boom was no starting too early, he said anc hinted the Chief of Staff migh not be so reticent about politics once out of uniform Eisenhower Martin agreed. was more popula, than MacArthur, but If chao. should develop" he warned, "th' people will look for an iron hand Then they may turn to MacAr thur"
 But what about the bonu! march?" asked ono friends. ' can't forget how MacArtur ejectet those veterans from the capital.
