OF PUERTO RICO

On this anniversary, of great significance for the noble
Puerto Rican people, THE AMERICAS DAILY reneWS its
homage of sympathy for that country, whose political
maturity has made outstanding progress in the affairs of
the civilized world.
The fact that there are still some persons who do not
understand the facts about Puerto Rico, and doubt the
great freedom the people enjoy, because it is not an i'm
dependent Republic, does not mean that in Puerto Rico,
under the new constitutional formula of the Commonwealth,
there is no full enjoyment of local autonomy and of the
benefits of the republican system. There is more freedom
and administrative good judgment, as well as more indepen.
dence of opinion in relaiOn with the United States, than in
many States having the title of Republics, but where the
life of the citizens has immense and humilliating political
limitations, and where, for multiple reasons OF convenience
for the Governments, there is less independence of official
opinion with regard to that Of Washington.
In a ~plebiScite of authentic democratic origin, by over
whelming majority, the Puerto Rican people accepted the
formula of the Commonwealth, within which they are
developing their political personality and their economic
and social life, in a manner compatible with human dignity,
with democratic freedom and, above all, with the reality
of the Puerto Rican environment.
In foreign countries, among certain elements, for lack
of adequate information or because of excessive political
rOmanticiSm, it Is believed that the Puerto Rican people
want to have a Republic, and it Is believed that it is not
so because the United States does not allow it, and because
some of the political leaders of Puerto Rico support the
wishes of Washington. Fortunately, Puerto Rico is getting
to be known to the world more and more every day, more
people visit 1t and admire its democratic institutions and
its new way of life, and that erroneous conception is diSap-
pearing, because the truth is that neither the United States
opposes independence for Puerto Rico, nor the Puerto
Rican people want it. If Puerto RicanS really wanted in.
dependence, they would have obtained it already, as the
Philippines did; that is a case which has certain similarity
with Puerto Rico because of the historical origin of their
independence from Spain, but which, for the aims of in
dependence, or the cOnvenienceS of ii, is different.
On this occasion, THE AMERICAS DAILY extends
cordial greetings to all Puerto Rican residents of Miami,
who constitute one of the most characteristic groups of
the community, and expresses its wishes that, in the "Island
of Charm, democracy and social ~wellbeing continue
flouriShing, with outstanding realizatiOns, both economic
and cultural.
