PRESIDENT URGES RECIPROCITY
President Roosevelt Sends Message to Con-
gress Urging Action or the Cuban Rec
iprocity Treaty.

ltary and economic. The granting to
us by Cuba of the naval stations
above alluded to is of the utmost i'm
portance from a military standpoint
and is proof of the good faith with
which Cuba is treating us. Cuba has
made great progress since her inde-
pendence was established. She has
Advanced Steadily in Every Way.
She already stands high among her
sister republics of the new world
She is Loyalty observing her obliga-
tionS TO us and she is entitled to like
treatment by us.
The treaty submitted to you for ap-

producers. Ii is a market which lies
at our doors, which is already large.

ard which is especially important to

us to refuse to take advantage of such
opportunity and to force Cuba into

tries 10 our disadvantage

OF broad national policy as well as by
our economic interest. 1t will dO
harm to no industry. It will benefit
many industries. 1t is in the interest
of our people as a whole. both be-
cause of its Importance from the broad
standpoint of international policy and

for oar farmers. artisans, merchants
and manufacturers. Finally. it is de-
sirabie as a guaranty of the good faith
of our nation towards her young sis
ter republic to the south, whose wei
fare must ever be closely bound with
ours. We gave her liberty. We are
knit to her by the memories of the
blood and the courage of our oldiers
who fought for her in war: by the
memories of the wisdom and integr-
ty of our administrators who saved

End upward and in helping her we
shah help ourselves.
Tho foregoing considerations caused
the negotiation of the treaty with Cuba
and its ratification by the senate.
They now with equal force support the
legislation by the congress which by
the terms OF the treaty is necessary
to render it operative. A failure to
enact such legislation would come per-
ilously near a reputation of the
pledged faith of the nation

ce,ve no colside!ation from the Ger
man scveipuent
The .espondent of the Associat-
ed P.ess called the foreign Offices
attention tc the statement made by
Artuno de Brigard. the Colombian
consul general in New York. that the
Colombians were clamoring for a Ger
man protectorate over their country
and that the Colombian government
had been asked to send a commits
sion to Germany to offer Emperor
William certain pieces of land on
both seas. in return for Germany's
protection. The reply was:
1--WE have heard nothing on the sub
ject, but if commission comes with
such proposition il would not be en-
tertained for one minute. We have
no intention of mixing ourselves in
the affairs of the isthmian states We
are still without any communication
from our consular representatives in
regard to the revolution or asking
protection. hence we have omitted to
ask the United States to look after
German interests.
"The statements regarding our CON-
mercial interests in Colombia and
Panama have been much exaggerated
but We hope to see our trade there
prosper better after the United States
builds the canal"

upon which we have so wisely en-
barked. When the acceptance of the
Platt amendment was required from
Cuba by the action of congress Of
the United States this government
thereby committed itself to the policy
of treating Cuba as occupying a
unique position as regards this coun-
try It was provided that when the
island became a free and independ-

close relation with us as in certain re-
