They are lawabiding. patriotic. American citizens. and their record in that respect far exceeds the record of the mainland. and I want to say that anyone who reflects upon these beautiful. wonderful islands and their splendid people because of any one incident which may have occurred among her people is not using good judgment. You must look over a period of a hundred years and more of history and take the average. and when you have done that you will find that they have a glorious history and that they are a splendid and a wonderful people. descended from the best races of Europe and that the Asiatics who are there are employed as servants of these people. who are highly educated. well financed. and well equipped to govern their islands. I want to say that they compare favorably with the finest and best people we have in any State of the American Union. I know. because I have lived among them for 28 days.
