Now in its second year of Unit ed States Commonwealth status the crowded Caribbean island has raised employment 25 per cent in the Iasi decade National income has doubled, and per capita in ; come is up 70 per cent. More than 150 newly established plants turn lout textiles, toys, lenses, shoes, Christmas-tree ornaments and many other products. With a population density matching that of New Jersey, Puerto Rico has lung beer, plagued with unemployment, says the Na tional Geographic Society. Lack of arable land and natural re sources has further handicapped its economy The island produces only half its food requirements. Puerto Rico is the eastern an chor of the Greater Antilles chain of West Indies islands. Its 2,250, 000 inhabitants are squeezed into 3,435 square miles. Among Ameri can states and territories, only Rhode Island has more persons per sqnaue mile. The island's precious soil is in tensively cultivated from the shores t<? the summits of its 4,000 foot-high mountains. Sugarcane is the major crop, sugar produc tion averaging about one million tons annually. Before new busi m-.-ses came in from the mainland, four major industries—sug ,r pro cessing, needlework, tobacco, and rum—accounted for 75 per cent of manufacturing employment. Puerto Ricos populating has doubled since 139b, the year Spain relinquished its four centuries of rule to the United States. Spanish is the language of the people, but English is common in husinss and government. In 1917, territorial status brought U. S. citizenship to Puer to Ricans. On July 25, 1952, the | island became a self-governing 1 Commonwealth. A new copstitu I tion, approved by the U. S. Con gress and President, put the 100 ( mile-lung island'; internal affairs completely in the hands of its elected lawmakers. The way is left open for Puerto Rico to he roine a state in the Union Uiter if it desires. Puerto Rico means “rich port" It is the only land under the Am erican flag oo which Columbus sel foot. Landing there on Novembei 19, 1493, during his second voyage ; he claimed it for Spain. San Juan, the capital, is the oldest city in the new world un -Uer the Stars and Stripes.
