That is what I am trying to point out to you and that is what I want to leave with you. You are proposing governmental machinery sufficient for a State. to govern a population of 10.000. who already have the full protection of the United States but have persuaded our emissaries they would be happier if they had a change. I shall leave the effect of giving citizenship to this Polynesian group to those of you who know most about immigration matters. but I am opposed to it. and I think I am not the only one opposed to it. I am opposed to this grant of power to this people at this time. I think it is a mistake. with all due respect to those gentlemen sponsoring it. and recognizing the pleasure they have had in making a full constitution for a nation.
