Calvin Coolidge actually said...

"It would not be difficult to show that the present status of Porto Rico is far more liberal than any status of its entire history"

"The people of Porto Rico are citizens of the United States, with all the rights and privileges of other citizens of the United States"

"I desire to acknowledge the concurrent resolution of the Legislature of Porto Rico committed to Colonel Lindbergh on his visit to San Juan"

"The request is made that Porto Rico be constituted as a 'free State' and not 'a mere subjected colony.'"
