Two hundred thousand long tons of coconut oil may be imported free of duty. and in excess of that amount the regular tariff duties will be levied. And so on. with their various other products. including yarns. twines. cords. cordage. rope. and so forth. The immigration laws will apply with a limit of 50 entries during any one year. During such period of eight years the United States is to be represented in the islands by a United States high commissioner. and reserves the right of intervention for the protection of life. property. and individual liberty. .and the right to maintain naval bases in the islands. The question as to whether or not the islands will be able to defend themselves against the aggression of other nations is one that does not enter into the consideration of our obligations.
