President. before that amendment is acted upon I desire to call the attention of the Senator from Missouri to a decision of the Supreme Court. with which I presume lie is familiar. and which I think would apply in this case. The decision of the Supreme Court in Gonzales against Williams. One hundred and ninetysecond United States Reports. page 1. Is to the effect that citizens of the insular possessions of the United States. while not citizens of this country in the full and complete sense. are not aliens within the meaning of our immigration laws. Tile person involved in that case was a Porto Rican. but. of course. a Philipipine Islander is in the same category. In view of that decision. if this amendment passes.
