Civil Government bfll as modified by the
committee. because we must not deny civil
government to the people OF Porto Rico a
moment longer. and because the bill as
modified insures free trade with Porto
Rico as soon as the civil government OF
that island provides a system OF taxation
Of its own. So that the sooner Porto Rico
gets civil government, the quicker IL will
get free trade under the mod ihcations
which the committee have made TO the bill.
I should be glad if the bill could be so
separated that W. might vote for civil
government without the revenue feature,
although the committee have modified that
feature so as to insure early freedom Of
trade. But as the bill stands, unless We
can amend it. We must vote FOR il as modi-
fed by the committee or else vote against
civil government altogether. and civil gov
ernment must no longer be denied to the
people OF Porto Rico. Delay OF civil gov
eminent to these people is denial Of Jus
tice. And so / shall vote for the Civil Gov
eminent bill because IL does establish civil
government at once. and because, under
the modification Of the committee, il also
establishes absolute reciprocity in the near
future. IL ought 10 establish unrestricted
trade instantly, and II may be that the
House will so amend it. if we should not
so amend IL here.
But If we are not able to so amend il
here, and II the House should not so
amend it, but adopt the modified Civil
Government bill. the committees modif-
cation does give US the absolute certainty
Of unrestricted trade at no distant date.
The bill as a whole. while not what / would
have it., in its failure TO give immediate
and unrestricted trade TO Porto Rico, and
in other particulars. nevertheless does es-
tablisE civil government which may not
be delayed snother moment, and does in
sure early reciprocity, and so IS a step in
the right direction in our progress as an
administering nation. and is 2 recognition
Of those great principles on which that
nrogrCec dependsf 30
