Puerto Rico faces bleak economy study warns over independence
The United States Tariff Commission concludes no simple fix exists for Puerto Rico's economy. It warns that statehood or dominion status are not ready solutions and that emigration could be the only relief. The three-year study, urged by Sen Millard E. Tydings, calls Tydings’ independence plan unstable and potentially harmful to both Puerto Rico and the United States. It stresses Puerto Rico's heavy reliance on federal aid and remittances, military spending, and a unique fiscal arrangement with the mainland, with a population of about two million growing rapidly.
