““Notwithstanding the fact that the Governments of the United States and the Philippines have amiably collaborated for the improvement of the economy, for the increase of liberty and for the upbuilding of the civilization of the islands, yet the Philippine Islands have never been incorporated into the United States. They constitute merely an insular possession appurtenant to the United States. By the Treaty of Paris in 1898, 30 Stat. 1754 the civil and political status of the Filipinos was to be determined by Congress. 42 Harvard Law Review, 809. No act of that body has ever conferred citizenship upon them. Ibid. The islands are a dependency until admitted into the union or until this government surrenders its jurisdiction over that territory.””
