Rico, as their genuine and chosen representative to lay aside this ap propriation from the bill. I offer to the committee that I will intrduce a bill immediately providing for the appropriation of $15,000.00 with the necessary safeguards for its administration, protecting what should be protected of the economic structure of Puerto Rico so that it will not be unnecessarily affected as it would be affected with the present bill. My bill may be considered in the ordinary course by this committee, and so that the same will not be disposed of unt. the people interested in this matter are heard before this committe including businessmen, industrialists, farmers, workers, and any officer of the administration or any other person of Puerto Rico wh is affected. Mr. LUDLOW. You believe this is going to change the entire economy of the island? Mr. PAGAN. As I say, in the report of the Director of the Budget. he stated that "it has been determined" that the production of sugarcane has to be reduced. By whom has it been determined? And. as I stated in my remarks, about 25 percent of our cropland is devoted to sugarcane, and we have three-fourths or more cropland! in Puerto Rico that could be devoted to the planting of any other food crops. Mr. LUDLOW. The standard crops in Puerto Rico are coffee, sugarcane, and tobacco? Mr. PAGAN. Yes; and pineapples. Mr. LUDLOW. Would you say that because of the break-down in transportation it is impossible for you to produce these crops commercially in the island? That is the only justification to my mind for this estimate; that transportation has broken down and you are not in position to export these crops. Mr. PAGAN. But that will not justify disrupting the present industry, because we have three-fourths of the land which could be devoted to the production of other crops; and I do not see why the backbone of the economic structure of the island should be destroyed. Mr. LUDLOW. In other words, you do not think the transportation situation would justify this rapid change in Puerto Rican economy. Mr. PAGAN. I certainly do not, and let me add that this scheme 15 simply a smoke screen of Tugwell, a trick, for political purposes, to help a crowd into whose hands he is playing in Puerto Rico. Tugwell does not care sincerely for the welfare of the people of Puerto Rico. What he should do is to go away from Puerto Rico as soon as possible. We do not want him there. The CHAIRMAN.
