Letter From the President.

Washington. April B. President Taft has outlined his Opposition to the recall of judges as provided for in the Arizona constitution in a letter to Chairman Flood of the house committee on territories.
 The letter was in answer to a verbal proposal by Mr. Flood that legislation be en- acted relieving the president of the necessity of passing upon the Arizona constitu- tion and putting the respOn- sibility for approval upon congress alone.
 The president explained to Mr. Flood today tha, if such a resolution was adopt ed and sent to him his ap- prOval of it would practical ly mean his approval of the Arizona constitution and the recall of judges.
 The president explained, however, that at present he did not know what position he might take if such a reso- lutiOn was submitted tdlnm for action.

SUPPORTS PRESIDENT TAFT
The Taking of Guam He Regards as a Joke-The Senator's Observations on the Monroe and the Later Roosevelt Doctrine.

Washington. D. C. April 13-Thc inst expression in congress concern ing the situation on the Mexican bor- der was heard today when Senator Rayner of Maryland addressed the senate on that subject.
 Although a democrat Mir Rayner spoke i'm confidence of the attitdue of President Taft and expressed the opinion there would be no war with either Mexico or Japan.
 While he did not express himself in exact terms. it was evident that Mir Rayner had in mind the reports that Japan is exertinS herself tO procure a coalinS station i'm the Pacific coast of Mexico. He said:
 T ann willing to admit that if Japan is entering into negotiations for coal ing stations and bases for naval sup plies for military purposes with Mex ico. we are entitled to know what these negotiations are. Congress is, however. without any information or evidence on the subpject. This coun- try would not ordinarily be entitled to know the secret treaties or sl- dances that other countries may make but on the part of Mexico We un- qucstionably would be entitled to an explanation"
 He was confident that Japan does not seek war with the United States and declared there could be no cause for hostilitieS between the two cOun- tries
 Discrediting the report that Japan might desire to take surreptitiOus possession of the island of Guam. d cable station. he declared that if such WAS the purpose it could not be justified under international law. He found in Guam usefulness only as "a cable base. and speaking sarCasticai- ly of the island. said:
 Guam is charming spot and one of the most lustrous and brilliant jewels in our oriental galaxy. Its principal products are vipers. snakes, lizards. wild swine. rats and castor oil. and if the island were put up at auction today. with all of the inhabi- tdnts in it. beyond it's value as military post. would not bring a dollar and half ia ans of the mar kets of the world"
 Much of the Maryland senator's speech was devoted to the contention that the Monroe doctrine k not in Volved in the Mexican situation. Quoting authorities to show that the original Monroeism looked only to the prevention of the establishment of new uonarchical institutions in Ilc western hemisphere he sought tO dis credit the position in relation tO the
 inc -Ta a.rrt nations taken during the Roosevelt administration in the SantO Domingo controversy. That he characterized as the Roosevelt doctrine rather than the Monroe doctrine
