No. that is a fiction. If we grant statehood to Alaska. with 100.000some people. why should we not in order to pacify the Asiatic countries and go along with their request. give Guam statehood. They seek it. They would like that power. If the gentleman will recall. the representatives of the Virgin Islands have hinted to us during meetings that they would like to have a delegate in this Congress. Why not carry this thing to the logical conclusion. as it will be. and go along with statehood for Guam and the Virgin Islands? They can present the same valid argument that is being presented here today for Hawaii and Alaska.
