Citizenship extended for Porto Rico in Edwards report
General Clarence R Edwards in the annual report to the secretary of war argues that citizenship should be extended to Porto Ricans with minimal burden. He notes island commerce growing with exports over 30 million dollars and imports over 26 million, including 23 million from the United States. He discusses tariff changes benefiting Philippine growers and tobacco and sugar prices, and says Philippine cigars and American goods trade will rise, while Moro unrest remains limited and order is maintained.
