Postal Savings Banks.

The president says on postal affairs;
| commend to the favorable eonsid-
Grafton Of the congress a postal saw
ings bank system as recommended by
the postmaster general. Tlmid deposi-
tors have withdrawn their savings for
the time being from national banks,
trust companies and savings banks. in
diyiduals have boarded their cash
and the workingmen their earnings. oil
OF which money has been withheld
and kept In hiding or In the safe de-
post box to the detrlment Of prosper
ity. Through the agency OF the postal
savings banks such money would be
restored to the channels Of trade, to
the mutual benefit OF capital and labor.
further commend to the congress
the consideration Of the postmaster
generals recommendation for an ex-
tension Of the parcel post. especially
on the rural routes. 1t would be a
most desirable thing to put the fourth
class postmasters In the classified serv-
Tee
Other recommendations are:
Deepening of the inland waterways,
especially OF the Mississippi river sys-
TEN, to make them great national high
ways.
The repeal Of the tariff on forest
products, especially the duty on wood
pulp.
The amendment Of the public land
laws to make them more effective
against land grabbers and more favor

Retention of the governments htlo
to public coal and other mineral lands.

Foreiqn Affairs.

In foreign affairs. the president says.
this country's steady policy Is to be-
have toward other nations as a strong
and self respecting man should behave
toward the other men with whom he
Is brought into contact. In other words.
our aim Is disinterestedly to help other
nations where such help can be wisely
given without the appearance Of med
ding with what does not concern US,
to be careful to act as a good neighbor
and at the same time In good natured
fashion 10 make It evident that we do
not intend to be imposed upon.
The president refers at length to The
HGgre peace conference. He believes
It accomplished much good work.

pendIture OF money. Then the stipu-
lation should be made that no party
receiving campaign funds from the
treasury should accept more than a
fixed amount from any individual sub
scrlber or donor, and the necessary
publicity for receipts and expenditures
could without difficulty be provided.
The Army.
The president recommends legisla-
tlon TO increase the number OF officers
IN the army, especially I'm the medical
corps. The rate Of pay OF officers
should be greatly increased, he de-
clares. There should be relatively
even greater Increase In the raS Of
pay OF enlisted men II we are to Keep
the army In shape to be effective In
time Of need. The president recon.
mends severe examination of officers
FOR promotion up to the rank OF major.
From that point promotion should be
purely by selection. lie speaks OF the
recent physical test OF army officers
with emphatic appreciation and recon-
mends a bill equallzing the pay Of
officers and men OF the army, navy,
marine corps and revenue cutter sery-

Currency Legislation Needed.
again urge on the congress the
need Of immediate attention to this
matter. We need a greater elasticity
in our currency. provided Of course
that we recognize the even greater
need of a safe and secure currency.
Provision should be made for an
emergency currency. The emergency
issue should Of course be made With
an effective guarantee and upon condi-
lions carefully prescribed by the gov
eminent. Such emergency issue must
be based on adequate securities ap-
proved by the government and must be
issued under heavy tax. This would
permit currency being issued when the
demand for it was urgent while secur-
ing its retirement as the demand fell
of II is worth investigating to de-
termine whether officers and directors
OF national banks should ever be al
lowed to loan TO themselves. Trust
companies should be subject to the
same supervision as banks. Legisla-
ton to this effect should be enacted for
the District Of Columbia and the ter
ritorles.

The Navy.

The Navy.
Concerning the navy the president
says:
In my judgment. we should this
year provide for four battleshlps. But
II is idle to build battleshIps unless, IN
addition to providing the men and the
means for thorough training. we pro
vide tho auxlllarlcS for them-unless
we provide docks. the cOallng stations,
the Golfers and supply ships that they
need. We are extremely deficient Ia
coallng stations and docks on the Pa
clic. and this deficiency should not
longer he permitted to exist. Plenty
Of torpedo boats and destroyers should
he built. Boih on tue Atlantic and Pa
Cilc coasts fOrtihcatlOnS OF the best
type should TO provided for all our
greatest harbors. -
Until our battle feet IS much larger
than at present It should never be split
into detachmenls ~ far apart that they
Sould not In event OF emergency be
speedily united. Our coast line Is on
the Pacific just as much as on the At
iantic Tho battle feet should now
and then be moved to the Pacific. just
as at other times Il should be kept in
the Atlantic. When the isthmlan canal
Is built the transit Of the battle feet
from one ocean to the other Will be
comparatively easy. Until 1t Is built

oceans every year or two The battle

Sixteen hattleships are going under the
command OF Rear Admiral Evans. while
eight armored cruisers and two other
battleshlps will meet him In San Fran
cisco. whittier certain torpedo destroy
ers are also going No fleet Of such
size has ever made such voyage, and
II will be Of very great educational use
TO all engaged In IT, The only way by
which to teach officers and men how
10 handle the feet so as to meet every
possible strain and emergency in time
Of war Is 20 have them practice under
similar conditions In time OF peace.
The president recommends the In
creased pay for both officers and enlist
ed men and advises promotion by Sc
lection above the grade Of lieutenant
commander.
