/ cannot emphasize too strong
~ the importance of self-support
and self-dependence. We must
make every effort gradually to re-
duce our dependence on the fed
eral government. Our limited 1co-
nomic resources may make this
a truly difficult goal and one
which may take some time to ac-
hieve. In the attainment of this
objective, we shall expect that the
federal government will treat us
the same as our brothers on the
mainland and in Puerto Rico by
making us eligible to receive all
social security, educational, health
and welfare grants on the same
basis as other American citizans.
We shall ask Congress to grant
us the simple justice of returning
to us the internal revenue taxes
which Puerto Rico has enjoyed
over a period of many years. But
we must not ask for and expect
these benefits without actively
supporting in these islands those
measures which will bring us
closer to the goal of self-support.
We need the tourist dollar. We
need to cash in on increasing con-
tinental interest in business enter
prises. We need small industries.
We need to produce more food
and to import less. We need to
provide more and better local
handcraft. Visitors to these islands
want to take back home distinc-
tive local products. We need ere
dit facilities. Our most prosperous
citizens need to have more faith
and confidence in the future Of
these islands, and to express that
faith in active political as well as
financial participation in local af-
fails and enterprises. These OBJ
jectives cannot be accomplished
unless our people provide the
same degree of efficient and in
terested service as is offered in
other American communities, UNI
less we provide training oppor-
tunities for our young people to
raise their own standards and
those of the community, unless
our communities can offer the
skills which r necessary for
them, and promote opportunities
for such skillsgto be used here
rather than elsewhere.

Sawyer Wants Management
And Labor 10 Cooperate
And Drive Prices Downward

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j.. Jan.
28.-lP)-Secretary of Commerce
Charles Sawyer has urged man
agement and labor to cooperate in
the effort to reduce the high
cost of living.
He made his suggestion today
in speech to the National Can
ners Association here. Sawyer
proposed that business give up
some of its profits and labor for
go some of its wage demands TO
bring prices down.
The Commerce Secretary en-
phaSlzed that consumers interest
must be a first concern of the
government" And Sawyer said
this also should be borne in mind
by the farmer when he asks for
public support of agricultural pri-
ces."
Secretary Sawyer took the
stand that both management and
labor would gain from price cuts
because sales, he said. would ex-
pand, and this would lead to in
creased production.
