Gov. MufiozMarin and his people are justifiably proud of the islands vastly improved economic posture. they are pleased almost as much with the everwidening periphery of cultural attainments. On the mainland of the United States. the thousands of Puerto Ricans who have traveled northward to live have experienced a corresponding economic and social uplift. ever since the first group of immigrants settled in the Metropolitan New York area. It is always difficult to be the most recent immigrant arrival. and there will always be some bitterness and prejudice at the lower end of the economic ladder. But the initiative and industry of the Puerto Rican people. combined with the encouragement of the Federal. State. and local governments in urging equal employment opportunity. fair housing. and better education have provided a progressively better living situation.
