Supreme Court Rules Porto Rico a Territory Not a Colony
The Supreme Court has decided against the Government on the Insular cases, ruling Porto Rico is a U S Territory and that tariffs on imports from Porto Rico and Hawaii are unconstitutional. Justice Brown delivered the opinion noting territories acquired by conquest are not foreign. The decision accompanies other rulings against tariffs and a wave of political and editorial actions across the nation.
