We favor the construction, owner
ship. control and protection OF an 18th
mian canal by the Government of the
United States. New markets are nece--
sary for the increasing surplus of our
farm products. Every effort should be
made to open and obtain new markets,
especially in the Orient. and the Ad-
ministration is warmly to be commend
all trading and coloniZing nations to thu
policy of the open door in China.
In the interest of our expanding com
merce we recommend that Congress
create a department of commerce and
industries in the charge of a secretary
with seat in the Cabinet. The United
States consular system should be re-
organized under the supervision of this
new department upon such basis OF
appointment and tenure as will render
il still more serviceable to the Nation ;
increasing trade.
The American government must pro-
tect the person and property OF every
citizen wherever they are wrOngfuily
violated or plgced in peril.
We congratulate the women Of Am
erica upon their splendid record Of pup
lie service in the volunteer aid asSocla-
ton, and as nurses in camp and hOspI-
tai during the recent campaigns OF our
armies in the Eastern and Western IN
dies, and we appreciate their faith Ia
cooperation in all works of education
and industry.
President Mckinney has conducted
the foreign affairs of the United States
with distinguishing credit to the Am
erican people. In releasing US from the
vexatious European alliance for the
government of Samoa. his course Is es-
pecially to be commended. BY securing
to our undivided control the most i'm

and the best harbor in the southern Pa

safeguarded
We approve the annexation of the
Hawaiian Islands TO the United States.
We commend the part taken by our
Government in the Peace Conference at
The Hague. We assert our steadfast
adherence to the policy announced in
the Monroe doctrine.
The provisions of The Hague Conven-
ton We're wisely regarded when Presi-
dent Mckinley rendered his friendly
offices in the interest OF peace between
Great Britain and the South African
republics. While the American Govern

on US by The Hague treaty. OF non-in-

In accepting by the treaty OF Paris
the just responsibility of our victories
in the Spanish war. the President and
the Senate won the undoubted approval
of the American people. No other course
was possible than TO destroy Span
sovereignty throughout the West Indies
and in the Philippines. That course
