My bill proposes that there be no tariff on Puerto Rican products shipped to the United States until the people of Puerto Rico so desire. This is done so that Puerto Rico may have the necessary chance to build up her own industry and develop trade with whom she sees fit for her best advantage. Neither shall there be any restrictions on Puerto Rican immigration. These principles are to be ratified in a treaty between the two nations made 90 days after the new government of Pureto Rico expresses its desire to begin discussion. In the interim between the proclamation of independence and the signing of this treaty the present status quo in regard to trade relations is to be maintained.
