RESIDENT RoosEvELTs last message to tho Fifty eighth Con-
gess is a document OF over 1900 words. As n whole IL Is largely
historical and suggestive. The President urges upon Con-
gress the necessity OF continuing plans for n strong naval
administrations. A significant feature OF his argument Is that he
asks for a great navy for tho purpose OF preventing war and not
with the idea OF making war. In this way he backs up his plea or a big
navy and shows that while he believes the United States should be able to
policy OF the peaceful settlement OF NIL international difficulties The Pred-
dent devotes considerable spece % n discussion OF the principle OF interna-
uonal arbitration n a method OF settling disputes between nations He
also discusses the need OF another meeting at The Hague for the perfection
OF arbitration.
The President treats the trust problem in the message in somewhat tho
ame manner that IL n treated in his letter Of acceptance. He says. how
ever, that there should be no impeuous prosecutions, n % grand stand plays
and n sensational demonstration OF any sort One recommendation Is that
tho laws relating to the information collected by the Bureau OF Corporations
of the Department Of Commerce and Labor be changed so that the informa-
public facts which will unnecessarily inJure the business OF the great cor
porations, yet he feels there are certain details OF the business OF which
the public is entitled to be appraised. The President has n theory that pub
ucity is n great safeguard; that n knowledge that their transactions viii
be officially advertised to all the world will have a wholesome rcstnint
upon the managers and manpulators Of corporations.
The message comprehensysiy reviews u relations with foreign coun-
tries. the condition OF the treasury, the Postal Department the Department
OF Agriculture and various other departments: the relations between capital
and labor, the public lands, insular possessions and all important mat
ters of governmental concern. As to the Philippines the President declares
the people and bring them as ear to the standard OF NJ own population
rs possible He IS determined, he says before the close OF his admmstrn-
ton 20 give the Philippine Islands abundant transportation facilities and
markets. and capital to transform their natural wealth into marketable
merchandise.
The general subject of the tariff, the President says has been reserved
for another message to the present or a n extra session OF Congress. but he
asks n revision of the schedules fayohng the products of the Philippines
imported to this country.
On the whole, the President says the nation continues o enjoy note
worthy prosperity, which prosperity he declares Is primarily due to the high
individual average OF our citizenship, taken together with our great natural
resources, but n n important factor therein, according to the message. is
the working OF oar long continued governmental policies.
