This is. in the judgment of the Committee on Pacific Islands and Porto Rico. where the subject has been long considered. the only practical way in which to settle this very troublesome question. The other provisions of the bill I know the Senator will not object to. One simply provides that the citizens of Porto Rico may become naturalized if they wish to come here. Now they are in a worse situation than aliens. for aliens may become naturalized citizens of the United States and Porto Ricans can not. Another amendment. I will say. in order that Senators may have it all before them. is a provision that all provisions of law applicable to all the Territories of the United States may be extended to Porto Rico as to the benefits of the agricultural college law.
