PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
Urgent Plea to Congress for Re-
ciprocity With Cuba.

Washington, June 14.-After talking
with number of the leaders in Con-
gress regarding Cuban reciprocity,
President Roosevelt yesterday deter
mined to send a message to Congress
reatfirming his attitude ON the sub
ject.
The Presidents message, in part, Ia
as follows:
Il deem 1t important, before the ad-
journment of the present session of
Congress, to call attention to the fol-
lowing expressions in the message
which, In the discharge of the duty i'm
posed upon me by the constitution, |
sent to Congress the first Tuesday OF
December last:
elsewhere have discussed the
question of reciprocity. In the case of
Cuba, however, there are weighty rea-
sons Of morality and of national in
terest why the policy should be held to
have a peculiar application, and most
earnestly ask your attention to the
wisdom, indeed, to the vital need Of
providing for substantial reduction in
the tariff duties on Cuban imports into
the United States. Cuba has in her
constitution affirmed what we desired.
that she should stand, in international
matters, in closer and more friendly re-
Iations with us than with any other
power; and we are bound by. every
consideration Of honor and expediency
to pass commercial measures in the in
terest of her well-being.
Yesterday, June II, I received by
cable from the American minister In
Cuba most earnest appeal from Pres
ident Palma for Legislative relief be-
fore it is too late and his country finan-
cially ruined
''The granting of reciprocity with
Cuba is n proposition which stands en-
tirely alone. The reasons for 1t far out
weigh those for granting reciprocity
with any other nation, and are entirely
consistent with preserving intact the
protective system under which this
country has thriven so marvelously.
I'VE are a wealthy and powerful ma
ton; Cuba is a young republic, still
weak, who owes to us her birth, whose
whole future, whose very life, must de-
pend on our attitude toward her. l ask
that we help her as she struggles up
ward along the painful and difficult
road of self-government and independ-
ence. / ask this aid for her because
she Is weak, because she needs 1t, be-
cause we have already aided her. l
ask that open-handed help, of kind
which self-respecting people can ac-
cept, be given to Cuba, for the very
reason that we have given her such
help in the past. Our soldiers fought
to give her freedom, and for three
years our representatives, civil and
military, have toiled increasingly, fac
ing disease of peculiarly sinister and
fatal type with patient and uncom-
planning fortitude, to teach her how
to use Alright her new freedom. Never
in history has any alien country been
thus administered, with such high in
tegrity of purpose, such wise Judgment
and such single-handed devotion to
the country's interests Now ask that
the Cubans be given all possible chance
to use to She best advantage the free
dom of which Americans have such
right to be- proud, and for which so
many American lives have been sacri-
feed"
