Cuba Annexation Proposal Acknowledges Statehood Path
Washington June 14 Senator Elkins introduces a joint resolution to annex Cuba and admit it as a U S state. The plan grants Congress consent to create the Republic of Cuba as a state with a republican government and a constitution to be adopted by Cubans. It provides two paths, one admitting Cuba on equal footing to existing states, the other enabling direct presidential action toward statehood with similar terms and a $100,000 appropriation to implement the provisions. The measure argues for reciprocal tariff arrangements and emphasizes strategic, economic, and political benefits, noting U S aid to Cuba and parallels to Hawaii and the Philippines in past trade concessions.
