To repeat myself. looking forward to their independence. to the necessity for the development of their natural resources. it will be to their benefit to restrict the migration of their laboring people. it will be for their benefit to remain in their native country. even though under our quasi or full jurisdiction. They will be needed .at home after they have become free and completely independentas I hope they will soon become. I do not wish my country to rest under the imputation that we are holding them in subjection. or that it is wrong to restrict their coming to the United States. I think it will be beneficial to the laboring. people of those islands. and beyond question it will be beneficial to our country. to stop. this immigration. Our first duty is to the United States. I may be wrong. but I hold to that view.
