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"

"There is no disposition in America, and certainly not on my part, to discourage any reasonable aspiration of the people of Porto Rico"

"The Department of Health and the Department of Education of Porto Rico are combining to make of the Porto Ricans of the future a different type physically and mentally from those we found in Porto Ric..."

"The great satisfaction in Porto Rico at the passage of this act is the best evidence of its liberality"
