Free Hand 50 Says Highest Court Insular Case Ruling
Supreme Court upholds that the Constitution does not follow the flag in insular possessions. Key rulings in De Lima and Downes impact Porto Rico duties and status, with majority split but broad implications for future U S relations to colonies. Justice Brown writes the opinions while several justices dissent or issue separate views. Goetze and Crossman cases follow De Lima, affirming pre act duty assessments on Puerto Rico and Hawaiian goods.
