Are we going to have a section of country where there are citizens. where they take the oath to obey the Constitution every time they hold office. and yet treat them as foreigners? That is an inconsistency which the American people will never tolerate. We are brought squarely to the issue. What are we going to do with these people? What kind of government are we going to give them? I admit that the influence it may have upon future legislation touching the Asiatic islands may be very important. although I do not think we would be absolutely bound by what we do to do the same thing as to them. because the conditions may be different. Mr. President.
