Continuation OF The
Foraker Report
And Views OF The
Minority.

After quoting various acts ests--
blishiDg territorial governments, the
Oommitte say:
Attention is called in detail to
this legislation to show that there is
abundant precedent for not extern
ding the provisions of the Constitu
ton to territory of the United States
for which Congress may be called
upon to legislate.
The bill as introduced provided for
free trade between the United States
and Puerto Rico. This proposition
was objected to on various grounds.
1t was urged that
LIST 1t was in violation of the DO
licy of protection.
End 1t was inimical to the inte-
rests of the United States, with
which Puerto Ricau products would
come in competition.
3rd 1t would be a precedent that
would have to be followed in other
cases that might hereafter arise
where the competition resulting
might be still more injurious to
American interests.
These were, at least, the principal
objections urged before the Commit
tee.
The Committee carefully conside-
red all of them, with the result that
they do not consider the objections
we'll takenn.
After giving their reasons for this
opinion the report proceeds
+" Nevertheless, the Committee,
although dlsregarding these objec-
tiOns, have thought it best, in view
Of the urgent necessity for revenue
for Puerto Rico, to impose ON all
dutiable articles imported into PR
from the o. S. 25 per cent, of the
tariff duties provided by the present
tariff law, and also to impose a simi-
lar duty on all articles imported into
the United States, which, together
with Internal Revenue taxes shall
be collected for the benefit of Puerto
Rican revenues.
The bill authorizes the election
of a Delegate to the House of Re-
preseHtatiVes who shall be allowed
seat but not a vote, to be paid the
same salary and be provided the sa-
me rights provided by law for Te-
rritOrial Delegate.
"Views of the Minority"
The Senate Committee was not
unanimOus.-Senator Gallinger of
New Hampshire and Perkins of Ca
lifornia dissen.ed from the findings
of the report in regard to the objec-
tions urged against free trade.
The main trouble with this mino-
rity report is that Senators signing
it beg the question by saying that:
Assuming that Puerto Rico is
not now an integral part of the Uni
ted States it necessarily follows etc."
and they then proceed to elaborate
their views in this direction.
But their premises being wrong it
is hardly worth while to discuss
their conclusions.

anything else for indigestion or Bilious
