I Seriaior Santiago Iglusias, of Porto llico! head of the
gland's Federation of Labor, reports to rrei44it fioolidgoj
mai ins government laces bankruptcy because of its large
and ever increasing indebtedness. ,. '. ... ...
it is not P01 to .Rico's central government that is bor-,
rowing beyoiid the ability of her people ' to pay' but the
linmieinnl governments. The central government has kept
well within the constitutional limit for borrowing:, but the
local governments have recognized no limits and to make
matters worse have, on several occasions, contended the
central government is liable for their municipal debts.
In Porto Rico, as everywhere else, the politician has
things much his own way. He wants jobs and fitt con
tracts for liimseir and his friends, and the public gives them'
to him through its insatiable desire for fine public build
ings, paternalistic interest by the government in the affairs
of the individual and new laws and more government bur-.
aus to enforce them. . . .
Misery loving ' company, there is sweet consolation to'
the American taxpayer in the predicament of the Porto
Ricans. Alter all, the problems of government differ lit
tle between countries.' In this country and Porto Rico the
public has had the opportunity ' to choose between' public
improvements and low taxes, and both peoples took the
public improvements. Fortunate are the communities which
have found a happy medium. '
