/ therefore deem my executive duty ade-
quately performed at this time by pre-
senting to congress the important phases
OF our situation as related to our inter-
course with foreign nations, and state
ment of the financial problems which con-
front us, emitting, except as they are re-
lated to these topics, any reference to de-
partmental operations. l earnestly invite.
however. not only the careful considera-
ton but the severely critical scrutiny of
the congress and my fellow countrymen to
the reports concerning these departmental
operations. If justly and fairly examined
they Will furnish proof of assduous and
painstaking care for the public welfare. L
press the recommendations they contain
upon the respectful attention of those
charged with the duty of legislation, be-
cause i believe their adoption would pro-
mote the peoples good.
