In executive session today made pub.

says the Dominican interests demand
action by the senate at the earliest
practicable moment; that the treaty
is at the earnest request Of the Domin-

will remove the apprehension of for

says the result will benefit not only
Santo Domingo, but also the United
States by securing stability, order and
prosperity In the island. The mes
sage says the treaty offers the only
method for preventing the collection
of fraudulent claims and of protecting
the just claims of foreigners and
Americans alike, and urges Santo
Domingo's need of the aid of friendly
and powerful nation.

and stated that the convention was
called for putting in nomination dem
