I seem to remember the story of a cabal of businessmen and military types who plotted against FDR in the 30's, but nothing ever came of it. If any one else can supply details on this, it would be greatly appreciated.

The episode is referred to as "the Business Plot" -- and seems to have been a hoax that took on the some of the passions of the time. Given Butler's well known point of view, it seems unlikely that business leaders would have chosen him to execute a coup . . . see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_Plot |

I wonder if this will put the cat among the pigeons. Even if we count the spoiled ballots (nearly 5%, a very significant number) as "No" to statehood, the population, in a turnout of almost 80%, has voted yes to change and yes to statehood. It seems to me that it is far from an overwhelming majority, but quite sufficient to warrant an application by the Resident Commissioner for an Act of Congress to admit Puerto Rico into the Union. I do not imagine that this will pass entirely unopposed; there might even have to be a fresh referendum on terms on Congress's choosing to convince Congress that the people of Peurto Rico actually want to their home to be a US state. It is possible that some elements in Congress will argue that Puerto Rico ought not to be a state anyway. What will happen now, do you suppose?

How could we add just one star to the flag? It would completely unbalance the current star field. |
