I wish to point out. also. Mr. President. that poverty is so great in Puerto Rico that It is necessary for a large number of Puerto RicoAmericans to emigrate to this country and. to some extent. to other countries. Of course. the larger number of them come to this country. Sugar is their main product. as has been pointed out. Even if we give them an opportunity to sell at reasonable prices an increased share of their sugar production. Puerto Rico would still have a large surplus. I believe that my amendment would help unemployment and help the economic situation in Puerto Rico to the point where fewer persons would feel impelled to emigrate from Puerto Rico to the mainland of this country.
