reveals what tangled web our gov
ernnent has woven In its policy Of
eolonialism. The Court finds that The
Philippines, like Porto Rico, are not
foreign territory within the meaning Of
she Dihgley tariff law, and therefore
that the collection of duties on goods
from those islands Is unconstitutional /:
u also finds that these new possessions
are not States or Territories as the
Union Is constituted, bus that they are

Islands are neither citizens nor aliens,
and that Congress must determine
their status; that Congress mus, Pre-.
