Washington special says: President
Roosevelt has his annual message to
congress so far advanced toward COM
pletion that the single week which
will remain before the assembling OF
Congress after his return TO Washing
ton on November % will be sufficient
for its completion and printing. Al
though the contents Of President
Roosevelt's message viii be kept Sc
cret until IL is Forwarded TO congress,
enough is known ms to the way in
which some of its topics viii be treat
ed to enable forecast Of these fea-
lures to be made.
No Change Toward Caha.
That there has been no change in
abe attitude OF the administration on
Cuban reciprocity will be made APP
parent. but whether the message viii
urge legislation or will promise the
transmission of Cuban reciprocity
treaty TO the senate probably will de-
pend upon the progress thai may be
made in the next two weeks toward
the negotiation of q reciprocity
treaty.
Probable Action On Trusts.
Interest in the Forthcoming mes
sage is largely centered in what the
president may have TO say on the sub
ieci Of trust regulation. The presi-
dent vii! urge congress to consicer
this subject carefully, with the view
20 the enactment Of legislation which
will regulate the trusts without en-
oapsering the industries in which they
are engaged
The message probably will refer to
the strike in the anthracite mines and
10 the progress being made toward
m adjustment of the difficulties be-
tween the mine workers and the mine
owners. ...
VIII Urge Reciprocity Treaty.
There will be nothing in the mes
sage savoring Of the abandonment OF
the principles Of protection, but this
will not prevent him from recon-
intending the reduction, by direct en-
actment or by reciprocal agreements
with foreign nations, Of rates OF duty
which may no longer be needed for
purposes Of protection. 1t has been
announced by member of the cabinet
that the message will favor such re-
auctions, and that il will also urge
the creation Of a permanent commits
sion which can at all times give ex-
pert consideration to the needs of tho
government and of the varying inter-
ests, thus enabling it to make recon-
mendations to congress which will save
the committees charged with the prep
aration of revenue laws a good deal
of labor and insure a more intelligent
framing of such laws.
Views ON Currency Reform.
Closely allied to the question of rev.
enue is the subject Of currency and
banking reform. Secretary Shaw is
heartily in favor of the esta blishment
of system of asset banking which
would give greater fexibility to the
national bank currency of the country,
and would enable the banks them
selves to tide over many periods of
monetary stringency, in which they
must now appeal to the treasury for
help. II the president does not spe-
officially recommend such legislation
in his message he probably will call
the attention of congress to the rec
concentrations of the secretary of the
treasury.
To Ask Increase In Navy.
The message will indorse the re-
concentrations which Secretary
Moody will make in his annual report
for the increase and improvement Of
the navy. President Roosevelt has
never lost an opportunity to insist
that the United States should have
the best navy in the world in pro.
portion to it's size.
