If the coasts of the United States include Porto Rico, as the Supreme Court says they do, they must include the Philippines. But Spain is entitled to the same privileges out there for ten years that the United States is. Hence —but you can draw the conclusion for yourselvea. If the United States is really entitled to free trade with the Philippines, as seems to be the case under the Supreme Court’s decision, then Spain is also entitled to it under the terms of the treaty. As Spain’s trade is double that of the United States the decision will cost Uncle Sam a pretty penny.
