Yet holdings of agricultural land are concentrated to an extent that has proved Itself harmful to the industry as a whole and has reduced the small owner to a state approaching economic slavery. Although congress, as far back as 1900, foresaw the hovering evil of concentration of ownership and passed a law which limited corporate holdings to 500 acres, the law was never enforced. Millions in American capital rolled In, to become the foundation for large-scal- e farming, chiefly on sugar plantations, until today holdings of more than 500 acres include more than a third of the area under cultivation, although they constitute only .7 per cent of the total holdings. So serious has this situation become for the small farmer, hundreds of families from modest farms have been forced to give up and move Into the cities, there to take up their dwelling In the most Inadequate and unsanitary of hovels, constl- tuting a threat to political peace, an addition to the already difficult unemployment problem and a potential source of diseases which spring from poverty and uncteanliness. President Roosevelt, visiting the Island In 1934, was impressed by the evil of this unlawful concentration and declared that he would revive both the spirit and the letter of the law of 1900, and found upon It the return of Puerto Rico to a sound agricultural M L "'"fatlon. ....

Three projects combined aim at the readjustment of Puerto Rico's principal n industry, sugar. The act required a cut of 150,000 tons In the island's production of sugar. Thh made the unemployment problem even worse than it should have been. It abvlated the necessity of finding some other use for 75,000 acres of marginal sugar land.

In the city will be moved out onto these lands and given opportunity to become owners of the little farm? upon which they settle. The project will cost nearly $6,000,000. Supplementing this project are two others, that of rural resettlement on marginal sugar lands ($1,808,000), and that of resettlement on good sugar lands ($6,500,000). The projects have as one of their goals the ownership of processing plants and systems of marketing.
