canal work. viii probably be before the
lawmakers within fortnight.
The frame work for it has already been
put on paper. and the President will get
lit into shape as rapidly as possible. The
message relating TO Porto Rico will not
be a lengthy q document 1t will be sent
in soTtly after the ether.
The canal message Will give compre-
hensive account of conditions as the Pres
ident found them and will urge upon
Congress certain legislation which. IN tile
opinion Of the Executive Is of vital ne
cessity to the speedy and economical COM
pletioin Of the great waterway.
The Porto Rican message will bring 10
the attention Of Congress a number Of
laws that the President believes ought to
be passed for the benefit of the island.
First among these is an enactment con-
ferring upon the Porto Ricans immediate
American citizenship. The President was
greatly pleased with the condition Of af-
fairs as he found them in Porto Rico. He
regards the present government as ad-
mirably suited to the conditions Of the
Island, bat believes it is nothing short Of
an injustice that the Inhabitants are de-
MED the right Of citizenship.
The President is also well satisfied with
the result of his Investigations I'm the
Canaz Zone. The brevity of his stay
there enabled him to see only the most
patent details of the work; but he is
convinced that the project is being carried
forward in the best possible way. The
only feature he felt II necessary to criti-
else were the quarters allotted to some Of
the unmarried negroes.
