PORTO RICANS
NOT READY FOR
STATEHOOD YET
SAN JUAN. PORTO RICO. May
22 That Porto Rico, not prepared for
either statehood or independence was
the opinion expressed by Senator.;
Barbosa and (iiorgetti in the course
of a debate in the Senate yesterday.
Senator Barbosa said also that the isl
an I is unprepared for immediate self
government.
The debate was opened by an in
vitation of Senator Giorgetti to Sen
ator Barbosa to dissolve both political
parties in the island.
“1 invite Dr. BaVbosa to dissolve
tin* Republican party,” said Senator
Gi M-getti, “and I will do all I can to
di. solve the Unionist Party because
we are wasting time. It must be un
derstood that both statehood and in
dependence are a long way off. Do
you think we arc prepared for either
statehood or independence,” he asked.
“We are not. replied Dr. Barbosa.
“A country which has the number of
illiterates Porto Rico has, whose mas
ses are without means of education
an 1 whose economic condition is de
plorable, is not prepared to be either a
republic or a state. We bavc to pre
pare our country and provide the
means for its being politically, eco
nominally and educationally in a con
dition to enjoy its sovereignity. Wo
are in the position today of a student
of medicine who has had two years
of his course, who is diligent and am
bitious and who wants to graduate •*,- ,
soon as ho can, but whose profe:| or |
lias to say, continue you studies, you
are not yet ready; when you get in
your forth or fifth years your labor
will he rewarded. Gentlemen, you
^now perfectly well that we are not
economically prepared to bo cither a
sta*c or a republic."
“In this I agree with Dr. Harbosa,”
said Senator Giorgctti, “we are not
prepared economically for statehood
or to he an independent republic.”
Senator Giorgetti asked Dr. Bar
bosa if he thought I’oito Rico was
prepared to govern itself. Dr. Bai -
bosa replied that at the present nin
m« nt it was not, b ran.-e self-govern
ment signified government of and by
the people and for the people, whil '
today it would result in government
by a part of the people only because
without preparation the people would
be governed by the fortunate few.

FACTS ABOUT SEWARD
Seward is situated on Resurrection Bay, midway
the coast line of the Gulf of Alaska and 1(>0 miles troia
route of the Pacific steamers to the Orient.
The various trade routes of the North Pacific Ocean,
and all the roads and highways and trails and mountain
passes from the interior converge at this point much as ;i
nature had anticipated the mnd of a gateway throng.1,
which the trade and travel of -a great region might find
convenient passage.
The deep, perfectly protected harbor presents an ob
long surface embracing forty square miles, upon which
any ship that floats may sail in safety at any lime, and
which in appearance suggests nothing so much as a beauti
ful inland lake.
The mainland and shores of Resurrection supply am
ple space and perfect topography ter the building of a city
of whatever extent future needs may develop; and this cir
cumstance, added to its natural position as a gateway to
tl'.e interior, and the freedom from ice at all seasons of the
harbor and adjacent waters lead the government to select
(his port as the ocean terminal for the railroad. The un
I niited coal and oil and mineral resources of Alaska will
flow through this port to enter the commerce of the world,
and in return will come the supplies for distribution over
a territory greater in extent than many state combined,
thus making it the great port of the North Pacific or the
NEW YORK OF ALASKA.

surrounding this city, write to the
