Delivered Audience at the University Armo1y
i: conservative Views Elk pressed on Revision Of So
the Tariff.

NV Fellow Citizens: At the special ses-
sion of the senate held in March the
Cuban reciprocity treaty was ratitled.-
When this treaty goes into effect, it will
confer substantial economic benefits alike
upon Cuba because of the widening of
her market in the United States, and upon
the United States, because of the equal
widening and the progressive control it
will give to our people in the Cuban mar
ket. This treaty is beneficial to both
parties and justifies itself on several
grounds In the first place, we offer to
Cuba her natural market. We can con-
fer upon her a benefit which no other
nation can confer, and for the very rea-
son that we have started her as an in
dependent republic and that we are rich,
prosperous and powerful, it behooves us
to stretch out a helping hand to our
feeble younger sister. In the next place,
it widens the market for our products,
both the products Of the farm and GER
tain OF our manufactures, and it is there
fore in the interests of our farmers, man.
ufacturers, merchants and wage workers.
Finally, the treaty was not merely war
ranted but demanded, apart from all other
considerations, by the enlightened con-
sideration Of our foreign policy.
Military Control Peace Measure.
More and more in the future we must
occupy a preponderant position in the
waters and along the coasts in the region
south of u.s. not position Of control over
the republics Of the south, but of control
of the military situation so as to avoid
any possible complications in the future
Under the Platt amendment Cuba
agreed to give us,certain naval stations or
her coast. The navy department decided
that we needed but two, and we have
specified where these two are to be
President Palma has concluded agree
which the Cuban legislative body will
doubtless soon ratify. r
