Puerto Rico, a lazy tropical paradise to the tourist, has contrastingly harsh industrial, population, and race problems for the resident, said Robert A. McCor-kle, Occidental Life insurance actually in the islands.
McCorkle told his views on Puerto Rican conditions before the Spanish cifilization class recently.
“Despite the problems, to a manufacturing firm with expansion in mind, Puerto Rico is a land of opportunity,” said McCorkle. "More than 200 enterprises have come to the island under the tax relief and technical assistance program being maintained to encourage expansion.
“The government of Puerto jUco is one of the it tost demo-
cratic in the world,” declared McCorkle. “It elects its own governor and legislature. Its present party in power, while commanding over two-thirds of the popular votes and practically every political office, gave full support to the new Constitution which guarantees all political parties an adequate representation in the legislature, even if additional seats must be created.
“The so-called common people take their political responsibilities evry seriously,” he said. «.
