Speaker. an editorial entitled "Puerto Ricos Birthday." from todays New York Times. follows: PUERTO Ricos BIRTHDAY A generation ago Puerto Rico was one of the problem children of the Caribbean. although its problem was not violence or revolutionary tendencies but poverty. If the island had not been so poor. we would not have so many Puerto Ricans in the city of New York. We are having fewer such migrants now and presumably will have fewer still. for the little country is not so poor as it used to be. When it became a commonwealth 10 years ago. its per capita income in current dollars was about $318. Today it is about $621.
