Porto Rico-The Declaration of I'.de-
pendence, the Constitution and the Flag
are one and inseparable. The island Of /
Porto Rico is a part Of the United States,
and placing upon it the burden of certain

a delegate to Congress, the Administra- |
ton has violated the Constitution, aDan- I
doned the fundamental principles Of

fathers that all men are created equal, |
that government rests for its sanction |
upon the consent of the governed, and |
that representation and taxation are in !
sporadic.
