gress during the three days of the
present session, President Taft today

states With the foreign governments

tion Of the posthaste movement Of co.
border nine months ago. He urged
the United States senate to ratify the
general arbitration treaties with Great
Britain and France and the conven-
lions with Nicaragua and Honduras
and suggested legislation which he de-
clared would strengthen the nations
world trade and its position among
the other powers.

send after the Christmas holidays a
message to congress on the subject
OF passports in Russia for American
Jews. He spoke Of the steps already
taken through Ambassador Guild at
st. Petersburg looking to the relief
OF this class Of citizens.
He recommended the following leg.
islation:
The enactment Of a law providing
for the fulfilment of the obligations
assumed by the United States in con-
nectton with the settlement of the fur
seal controversy.
A law forbidding the carriage of
opium and other habit forming drugs
In interstate commerce.
The formation of central organi-
zation In the nature of national
chamber Of commerce that would keep
all such organizations in touch with
commercial developments.
He also favored the enactment into
law of the executive regulations pro-
viding for the advancement in the
diplomatic and consular service upon
a merit basis instead of through po-
litical preference.
The suggestion was also made that
the present tariff act be so amended
that its maximum and minimum fea-
lures which we're designed to prevent
undue discrimination against American
IGommerce. could be graduated te meet
the varying degrees Of discrimination
such as have been encountered since
the present law was passed.
The presidents explanation Of the
sudden dispatch of a quarter Of the
army to the Mexican border agreed
the movement Of the troops last
spring. He showed in confidential
letter to General Leonard Wood. chief
Of staff of the army, that there was
no doubt, in his mind as to what he
would do If he had found American
lives in danger. 1T seems my duty
as commander-in-chief said the
president In the letter made public
for the first time in the message to-
day. Ito place troops in sufficient num-
Der. where If congress shall direct, that
then enter Mexico to save American
lives and property. an effective move
ment may be promptly made" The
outcome of the movement. the presi-
dent declared, was entirely satisfac-
tory.
