presently, will Immediately assume,
has indeed already assumed. a magnl-
tude unprecedented In our experience.
We have not the necessary instrument
talities for It's prosecution: IL Is
deemed TO be doubtful whether they
could be created upon an adequate
scale under our present laws. We
should clear away all legal obstacles
and create basis OF undoubted law
for Ii which will give freedom without
permitting unregulated license. The
thing must be done now, because the
opportunity is here and may escape us
if we hesitate or delay.
Porto Rico's Needs
The argument for the proposed
amendments of the organic law of Por-
TO Rico is brief and conclusive. The
present laws governing the island ana
regulating the rights and privileges OF
its people are not just. We have ere.
ated expectations OF extended privi-
lege which we have not satisfied.
There is uneasiness among the people
OF the island and even a suspicious
doubt with regard TO our intentions
concerning them which the adoption OF
the pending measure would happily re-
move. We do not doubt what we wish
to do in any essential particular. We
ought 10 do ii ut once.
There are other matters already adj
vanced To the stage of conference be-
tween the two houses of which it is
not necessary that | should speak.
Some practicable basis of agreement
concerning them will no doubt be found
and action taken upon them.
Inasmuch as this is. gentlemen, prob
ably the last occasion | shall have TO
address the Sixty-fourth congress, l
hope that you will permit me TO say
with what genuine pleasure and salts
faction l have co-operated with you in
the many measures Of constructive pol
icy with which you have enriched the
legislative annals of the country. 1t
has been a privilege TO labor In such
company. l take the liberty of con-
graduating you upon the completion OF
