He treats at cor sidera length OF condi-
lions In the Philippines. ard recomMends
that the coastwise laws OF the United
States as applied to the archipelago be sus-
pended until July !, 1909. He recomme rds
the immediate fertilization of Hawaii IN
order to conserve the interests of this coun-
try In the Pacific. He also advocates the
adoption OF legislation that Will explicitly
confer American citizenship on the people
OF Porto Rico, and on the general subject
Of insular AFFAIRS says:
wish also 10 call the attention OF the
congress to ore question which affects our
reed Of an increased liberaiity In the treat
ment of the whole franchise question In
these islands. In the proper desire TO pre-
vent the isiands being exploited BY spccuia-
tors and to have them develop In the inter-
est or their cwn people an error has been
made In refusing to grant sufhciently lib
eral terms to induce the investment OF
American capital In the Philippines ard In
Porto Rico. Elsewhere In this message
have spoken strongly against the jealousy
of mere wealth, and especially OF cor
porate wealth as such. But II is particular
iy reefettable to allow any such jealousy
70 be developed when we are dealing either
with our insular or with foreign AFFAIRS.
The big corporation has achieved its rrcs-
ent position In the business world simply
because It is the most effective Instrument
In business competition. In foreign affairs
we cannot AFFORD to put our people at dis
.sw a,.sr,, WI" tn aa1ns, tSa at1c,ancy
OF our business organizations. In tire same
way we cannot AFFORD to allow our irsular
possessions to lag behind In Industrial de-
velopment from any twisted jealousy OF
business success. II In. Of course. a mere
truism to say that the business interests OF
the islancs Will only be developed IL II be-
come the financial interest OF somebody to
develop them. Yet this development Is one
OF the things most earnestly TO De wished
We have been paying all possible heed to
the political ard educational interests OF
the Islands, but. important though these OBJ
1ects are. IL Is not less Important that We
should favor their Industrial Development
