Congrats Will Disappoint Porto Rico.
With Roosav.lt’s Consent.
Chicago, Dec. 22.— A dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington says:
In spite of the president’s recom
mendation no citizenship fur the people
of Porto Rico w ill be grunted by this
congress and probably not by the next
one and probably not before the next
one either.
The leaders both in the
house and senate have come to the con
clusion that the time is not yet ripe for
such action. They have presented the
matter to the president, and he is now
aware that his recommendation in this
regard w ill not be act<d upon. There
are said to be grave matters of public
policy involved which might be seri
ously complicated if citizenship should
be granted at this particular time to
the people of Porto Rico. A general un
derstanding therefore has been arrived
at. There is an understanding in con
gress that the president w ill acquiesce
in this decision because it has been put
up to him frequently by some of the
strongest men at the capitol.
Briefly stated, the objection to citi
zenship for Porto Rico is based upon
the existing condition of the population
of that island. A large per centage of
the people are of mixed stiain of Bpun-
ish ami negro hlexid. The proportion
of illiteracy is naturally large. Much
progress has beenjmade in the school
system, but it is still approximately
true that 75 per cent of the persons of
school age are not receiving instruction.
