Wants More Forts,
Additional fortihcatlons for the Philip
pines and for seacoast defenses in this

has been entirely acceptable 10 him.
The President viii ask for a broaden
ing or the powers or the Interstate Com

hearty support even by the minority
party in Congress.
The postal savings bank project of the
Postmaster General viii receive most
hearty Endorsement, and an earnest rec
ommendation that it be speedily enacted
into law.
Prohibition Included.
The great growth Of the prob ibition
sentiment, and the demand Uf the
States that the Federal Government
meet the original package decision Of
the Supreme Court will be treated, as
well as the necessity for legislation re
quiring publicity of campaign expenses.
The President has not made clear
whether he viii repeat his previous
recommendation for the enactment Of an
inheritance income tax, but he will press
for a Federal Incorporation license and
for the enactment Of an employers la
bility law applying TO certain branches
OF the Government service
The President will take advantage of
certain criticism in the last Congress as

otherwise, which viii accrue in Japan,
China, and other points in the Orient

demand for the creation of an Ap-
palachian forest reserve and the Presi-
dents advocacy of the adoption of a
policy looking to the purchase Of at
least one legation site a year viii be
renewed.
The question of recommending the

packers is still an open question. me

morning d pane Of glass was broken
out Of a window directly behind his
