THE PASSPORT QUESTION SETTLED.

The State Department has proved equal
to so many diplomatic and international
problems of late that it could hardly be
expected to be puzzled by simple a ques-
ton as whether native F'ilipinos were en-
titled to passports or not. The question
arose i'm London, where two educated Fill
pinos asked United States Ambassador
Choate to give them passports TO visit Rus
STA Under the passport law only the Sec
rotary of State can issue them in this coun-
try: they may be issued by United States
ministers in foreign countries, but the law
says NO passport shall be granted or is
sued to other persons than citizens of the
United States" Although Ambassador
Choate is a good lawyer he was in doubt
as he might well be under present condi-
tions. whether the Filipinos were entitled
TO passports. and he cabled to Washington
for Instructions Washington dispatch
SAYS that Secretary of State Hay has ca
bled Mr. Choate to give the Filipinos pass
ports las residents OF the Philippine
islands. and as such entitled TO the protec-
ton of the United States" BY a neat dip
whether the Filipinos are citizens of the
United States. and yet passports issued in
the form above stated will be respected by
the officials OF all foreign countries. 1t
should be noted that the provision prohibit
ing the issuing of passports 10 other per-
sons than citizens of the United States is
statutory and not constitutional. Being an
act of Congress IL may be modified by an
other act, and 1t is claimed that the For
aker act as TO Porto Rico and the Spooner
act as TO the Philippines do modify the law
to the extent of making the inhabitants Of
those islands entitled TO American pass
ports They certainly assert the allegiance
OF the Porto Ricans and Filipinos TO the
United States. and allegiance on one side
the other. IL Is not 10 be supposed that
the provision restricting passports 10 citi-
zens OF the United States meant citizens
in the full political sense. Indians are not
citizens. yet an American Indian going
abroad would clearly be entitled TO a pass
port. The instruction OF the State Depart
ment is based on common sense and justice
and IL is notice to the world that people
who acknowledge allegiance TO the United
States thereby become entitled to It's pro-
lection even before they are clothed with
the full rights OF citizenship. In accord
ance with this reasonable and just view
