There would be thunders of protests from every labor union between the Atlantic and the Pacific denouncing such a policy. and every manufacturer from every section of the country would justly and loudly protest against such unjust legislation. I do not wish this Congress to adopt any policy which will tend to strengthen the political ties between this country and the islands and which will make it more difficult to sever the bonds that now unite us. No matter h ow long we remain we will not establish an American colony in those faroff waters friendly and loyal to our free institutions. but. just as General Reagan said as to Hawaii. we will establish an Asiatic colony. bound to us by no ties of race or blood. hostile and antagonistic. and a colony that in years to come will prove a source of weakness instead of strength to our people and Government. Mr. President.
