Duty Done to Porto Rico.
Now, gentlemen. we have done our full
duty by Porto Rico. We have done our
duty by Cuba. But ] want to ask this peo-
pie to act further than under a sense of
bare duty. To act in spirit of generosity
such as BELTS a great republic in dealing
with a new and weaker republic which
Nself has started on the career of impor-
tant government.
And | want. furthermore, that our peo-
pie should be awake to their own interest
IL the seas and lands south of our country.
We drove out those who had been OPP
pressing Cuba and We cleaned house for
then. Not an easy task, for many of those
cities had never be fore been cleaned in their
entire history. We introduced a school sys-
tenn We made justice in fact as well as
in name We stamped out the plague of
yellow fever, a plague which was a men
ace not merely 10 Cuba, but to our OWE
southern states. and then we left them,
dependent. But from the very necessi-
ties of the case We are bound TO have iuti-
mate relations with them.
Cuba has got 10 be in a sense a part of
our International political system. and |
ask most earnestly that in return we make
her part of our economic system by estau-
fishing reciprocal trade relations with her.
