Climatic conditions forbid it. and local environments would prevent it. I have visited those islands. Mr. President. and their agricultural possibilities are practically unlimited. Those people are strictly Asiatics. They are Asiatic in their national life. in their civilization. in their hopes and aspirations. in their social usages and practices. and in their political thought. We can never impress upon those people the civilization and national ideals and aspirations of the western world. I saw the splendid and humane work which our President. as governor. inaugurated years ago taken up and carried on by the civil officials of the insular government.
Identified stereotypes
