Mr Low was interrupted in the middle of his
speech by man in the gallery. who cried out:
How about Porto Rico Mr. Low?
Mr. Low replied:
We'll. I shall speak of Porto Rico I never
knew a better law more misunderstood than the
Porto RiCan law. II was necessary for us to
raise money for the island and we took every
possible means to raise this money, devoting
especially the customs receipts Of the island and
the receipts in this country products from
the island toward filing up its empty treasury.
The Porto Rican law is not, think, open to
criticism"
1t was II o'clock before Mr.. Low had finished
his speech. At its close the band played a
march, and after that the meeting came to an
end.
