zens, recently reached Washington
with a memorial addressed to Presi
dent Taft tbe president of the senate
and the speaker of tbe house of rep
resentatlvea, urging that congress
ball at least deiJue the position and
lntentlona of the federal ' government
with reference this one of IU insular
possession. u - .
In support of their claim to recog
nition aa a territory aud to ultimate
statehood, the Porto Rican point out
that in the 1,4 years since, they passed
from Spanish to American soverelga
ty tbelr island hag become thoroughly
Americanized. Some striking partlcu
lars of the thoroughness with which
the Ameroanlzation of the island baa
progressed were given to a commit
tee of the senate some few days ago
by Cayetano Coll y Cuetil, a member
of the house of delegates, who, with
several of his associates, came to
Washington aa official representatives
of the Insular government to oppose
the tree sugar bill, 'which, they de
clare, would destroy the Industry on
which the prospefftyj of the JslantJ has
been chiefly buildup 'since the United
State came into control.
The total exports' and Imports of
Porto' Rico In.: 1901,. three years after
the - beginning of - American' occupar
tlon, according to the statement of
Mr.. Coll y Cucht,,, amounted to. $17,
600.000 and of this about 6Q per. cent
was made np of trade with the United
States. Then years later, in 1911, the
external commerce of the Island waa
valued at $18,700,000, made up almost
equally of exports and imports, and
of this $69,400,000 or 88 per cent was
trade, with the United States. . .
That the present position of Porto
Rico is anomalous la pointed out bri
the members of the delegation that
came here to aak for territorial rights
While enjoying the 'protection .of the
American flag and having a satlsfac-
mate ntentions with regard to them.
"If we are fit to be part of this great
nation to which we claim allegiance,'
they aay. "le us have the hope of be
coming a territory of the United
States and In due time become a state.
'If we are not fit for this let ma be
come an Independent nation, though
for our own part our aspirations are
all for a share in the destiny of the
American people." ( ,
Porto Rico la now under the sover
eignty of the United States and Is In
all Justice entitled to territorial rights
of go vernai Int.
Arizona and New Mexico were ter
ritories of the United States and gov
erned as such 50 years, and Alaska
has been governed by a territorial
form of government many ye$rs.
There is no nason why the same
right should not be extended to Porto
Rico. ' , '
