ton of decisions OF the Supreme
Court and executive precedents in
former cases of cession and annex
alton of territory to the United
States.
The President refused to listen to
this advice. He preferred to shift
the responsibility to Congress
In pursuance of this policy the
Secretary of War in his annual
report to the President urgently ad-
vised that free trade should be estab.
lished between Puerto Rico and the
United States. The president in
his annual message to Congress re.
commended that tour plain duty is
to abolish all customs tariffs between
the United States and Puerto Rico
and give her products free access to
our markets." The Payne bill vas
introduced in pursuance of this re-
commendation.
The protected interests which the
President had feared to offend then
exerted their influence. The origi-
nal Payne bill was abandoned, and
GlIU hill eaninS Duertn -Riean prod
ucts was reported in its stead. At
first the PresidsNtRpd Secretary of
War would not yield heir opinions,
but the pressure Of the protected in
terests and party aders was too
great, and they de ed to reverse
their positions. Th ew officer of
the division OF insu affairs was
instructed to write Aew opinion,
aohich should give Nem an avenue
of retreat from the stand they had
taken.
1t is believed by those who are in
in the secret that the production of
these two opinions of Mr.. MagOon,
if the first one can now be reached,
will do much to establish the unsub.
stantial character of the anti-free
trade contention.

The United States
Navy Threatened
With A Scarcity
OF Officers.
An Increase In The Number
Of Cadets At Annapolis
Seems Indispensable.

The navy is confronted by dan
ger that will grow more serious eve-
ry day, unless Congress changes its
attitude of Intentional neglect and
provides the relief imperatively de-
manded. If this is not freely gran.
ted it should be forced by public OPT
MON. Congress knows that the feet
is undermauned and that the train
ing required by modern conditions
cannot be given. The two naval
committees have been petitioned to
remedy the evil, but in vain, and
this despite their knowledge that the
efficiency of the service is maintai.

enlisted men are working double
time and assuming without com

for the earlier opinion, and that the
argument of Mr.. Magoon in support
of the doctrine that the constitution
does extend to Puerto Rico will be
interesting reading beside the decla-
ration Of Mr.. Magoon in support of
the doctrine that the constitution
does not extend to Puerto Rico.
In the second opinion, upon which
the oponents OF free trade with Puer-
to Rico are relying for ammunition,
Mr.. MagoOn says
"It seems incontrovertible that the
unorganized territory of the United
States is not bound and benefited by
the constitution and laws of the
United States until Congress has
made appropriate provision therefor.
And if Congress shall by appropriate
action extend the territorial bOunda.
ries of the United States to include
the islands acquired by the nation
during the late war with Spain and
thereafter continue said islands in
the condition of unorgamzed terrific.
ry governed by the sovereign powers
of the nation, the exercise of said
sovereign powers will not by direc-
ted, limited or controllee by the ex-
pressed provisions of the constitu
tion.
"Throughout our entire history
Congress has adhered to the doctrine
that the great powers and appurten-
BoletiÌn mercantil de Puerto Rico. (San Juan, P.R.) 18??-1918, 1900-04-14

ant rights created and conferred by
the constitution were not inherent
to all people, but Were to be bestoW-
ed upon them."
Shortly before Mr.. Root became
Secretary of War Mr.. Magoon was
requested to write an opinion as to
whether Puerto Rico had become
part of the United States and SUBJ
ject to the restrictions and entitled
to the benefits of the constitution.
Mr.. Magoon prepared long opinion
in which he maintained that Puerto
Rico was part of the United States,
and that the constitution was exten.
ded to it Eek proprio vigore" without
any action by Congress.
The distressing condition of Puer-
to Rico was one of the first questions
taken up by Mr.. Root after his ap-
pointment as Secretary of War.
The necessity for relief to the para
lyzed. industries Of the island was so
urgent that he made trip to Lake
Champlain to see the President.
He went armed aoith the opinion
of Mr.. Magoon, and advised the
President that it was his plain duty
to issue proclamation declaring
that upon the ratification of the treaty
of peace with Spain Puerto Rico
became part of the United States
and was subject to the constitution.
He supported his advice by the cita-
BoletiÌn mercantil de Puerto Rico. (San Juan, P.R.) 18??-1918, 1900-04-14

plaint burdens and hardships that
should not be imposed.
Figures are always deterrent and
dismal, but here are feao that may
help to reveal the difficulties. The
number of active commissioned and
warrant officers in all grades is 1901,
and of these 1872 are required for
duty on board the 103 vessels flying
the pennant. The entire fleet con-
sists of 81 ships, and if these were
ready for cervice 3,0S4 officers, or
an increase of ], 1,4S3, would have to
be secured, where, no one knows,
least OF all our Congressman. If,
hoacever, only the fighting ships be
considered, and the vessels under
construction and repair and authori.
zed be included, the government will
have afloat 200 vessels, to which
must be assigned 2.300 officers.
Where are these 700 extra officers
to be SARnd, and by whom, when all
go afOat, Aathe duties of admins
tration, construction, equipment,
supply and inspection to be perfor-
med /?
This surely is IamenTaU1o U.-ns-
bition of weakness, but its extreme
seriousness is shown by the further
circumstances that under present
laws the deficiencies increase yearly,
and unless made good the ships
must in the end be laid up in ordina-
ry. In the line of the navy the
present vacancies number about one
hundred and forty five. To fill the
Sc the only source OF supply open is
! the Naval Academy. When year
ago the Personnel bill was passed no
provision was made, through an
omission due to legislative tlnkerlng,
to fill the original ninety-nine vacan-
cies caused by the absorption OF the
engineers and by the incidental in
crease of officers assigned to the line.
Under this same law forty actual
vacancies must be created annually
in the minor commissioned grade by
promotions throughout the list,
as the average graduates aVaila
for the line number only thirty one
yearly, the total deficiency must in
crease about nine numbers yearly.
Such being the case, the quota next
ear will be short one hundred and
fifty -four officers, and this ratio Of
decrease is certain to be maintained
until relieved by proper legislation

The despatch says:


CONSERVATION has been caused
here by the discovery that Charles
3. Magoon, law officer Of the Diyi-
sion ofInsular Affairs, upon whose
opinion to the Secretary of War the
opponents of free trade with Puerto
Rico have been relying for arguments
had previously written exactly con.
trary to that assumed in the second
document.
In his first opinion Mr.. Magoon
declared that the constitution was
extended to Puerto Rico when the
peace convention was ratified. In
his latest production he insists that
Puerto Rico is not part of the Uni.
ted States and that Congress has full
power to deal with the island as it
chooses.
This second opinion, which, it is
understood, was prepared to order,
has been freely used by Senators in
the preparation of their speeches on
the tariff question.
1t is anticipated that some Sena-
tor, before the matter is disposed Of,
will introduce a resolution calling
