tafi6 was to come into operation with
respect to importations from all those
countries in whose favor no proclama-
ton applying the minimum tariff
should b issued By the president. one
hundred and thirty-four such procla-
nations were issued.
This series Of proclamations em-
6raced the entire commercial world

United States has been given univer-
sal application, thus tsstifying to the
satisfactory character Of our trade
relations with foreign countries.
Marked advantages to the COM
mercs Of the United States were OBJ
tanned through these tariff settle

trade relations with the Dominion of
Canada which was initiated in the ad-
5ustment Of the maximum and mini

August, 1908, has proved mutually
beneficial. 1t justifles further efforts

Ship Subsidy.
The president urges such action -

trade abroad. and says:
Another instrumsntality indispen-
sabls to the unhamapsrsd and natural
development of American commerce is

eomnsrcial nations recognize the i'm
portance Of this factor. The greatest
eommercial nations. our competitors,
