Abstract

What Next in Porto Rico?
Marin, Luis Munoz | November 20, 1929 issue

add to cart   close window

Because Porto Rico is fundamentally dependent for the solution of its increasingly grave problems upon the American sense of noblesse oblige, many Porto Ricans have viewed the appointment of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt to the governorship of the island as a promising gesture. For whatever opinions may be held of his abilities, one thing is undebatable, in accepting the governorship of Porto Rico it is to be assumed that Colonel Roosevelt has not accepted a job, but undertaken a task-perhaps a crusade. As a task or a crusade the position may be worth a good deal to him.
