Opium onference--U Unfortunate Fail
ure Of Our Government.


In my message on foreign relations
communicated to the two houses OF
congress Dec. Z. 1911, | called special
attention TO the assembling OF the
opium conference at The Hague, to the
fact that that conference was to review
all pertinent municipal laws relating to
the opium and allied evils and certain
ly all international rules regarding these
evils, and to the fact that 1t seemed to
me most essential that the congress
should take immediate action on the
anti-narcotic legislation before the con-
gress, to which | had previously called
attention hv n snecial message.
The Cuban Situation.
The republic of Cuba last May was in
the throes of a lawless uprising that
for a time threatened the destruction
of n great deal Of valuable property
much of II owned by Americans and
other foreigners-as well as the exist
ence OF the government itself, The
armed force of Cuba being inadequate
to guard property from attack and at
the same time properly to operate
against the rebels, a force Of American
marines was dispatched from our naval
station at Guantanamo into the province
of Oriente for the protection Of Ameri-
can and other foreign life and property.
The Cuban government was thus able
to use all its forces in putting down the
outbreak, which 1t succeeded in doing
in a period Of six weeks. The presence
of two American warships in the har
Dor of Havana during the most critical
period of this disturbance contributed
in great measure to allay the fears OF
the inhabitants. including a large for
eign colony.
Necessity For Retention and Expan-
sion Of Our Foreign Trade.
1t is not possible to make to the con-
gress a communication upon the pres
ent foreign relations Of the United
States so detailed as to convey an
adequate impression of the enormous
increase in the Importance and activi-
ties Of those relations. If this govern
ment is really to preserve to the Amer
ican people that free opportunity in
foreign markets which will soon be in
dispensable to our prosperity, even
greater efforts must be made.
Conclusion.
Congress should fully realize the
conditions which obtain in the world
as we find ourselves at the threshold
Of our middle age as a nation. We
have emerged full grown as peer In
the great concourse Of nations. We
have passed through various formative
periods. We have been self centered
In the struggle to develop our do
mestic questions. The nation is now
too mature to continue in It's foreign
relations those temporary expedients
natural to a people to whom domestic
affairs are the sole concern.
In the past our diplomacy has often
consisted. in normal times, In a mere
assertion Of the right to internationa
existence. We are now in larger re
lation with broader. rights Of our owr

consistent purpose Of the present ad.
ministration has been to encourage the
use of American capital in the develop
ment of China by the promotion Of
those essential reforms to which China
Is pledged by treaties with the United
States and other powers.
Central America Needs Our Help In
Debt Adjustment.
In Central America the aim has been
TO help such countries as Nicaragua
and Honduras to help themselves. They
are the immediate beneficiares The
national benefit to the United states Is
twofold First, 1t is obvious that the
Monroe doctrine is more vital in the
neighborhood Of the Panama canal and
the zone of the Caribbean than any
where else There, too, the mainte-
nance of that doctrine falls most heav-
fly upon the United States 1t is there
fore essential that the countries within
that sphere shall he removed from the
jeopardy involved by heavy foreign
debt and chaotic national finances and
from the ever present danger Of inter
national complications due to disorder
at home
wish to call your especial attention
to the recent occurrences I'm Nicaragua,
for | believe the terrible events re-
corded there during the revolution OF
the past summer-the useless loss Of
life, the devastation of property. the
bombardment Of defenseless cities. the
killing and wounding of women and
children, the torturinE of noncomhat-
ants to exact contributions and the
suffering of thousands of human he
ings-might have been averted had the
department of state, through approval
Of the loan convention by the senate,
been permitted to carry out its now
well developed policy of encouraging
the extending of financial aid to weak
Central American states with the pri
mary objects of avoiding Just such
revolutions by assisting those repub
lies to rehabilitate their finances, tc
establish their currency on a stable
basis, to remove the custom houses
from the danger Of revolutions by ar
ranging for their secure administra
ton, and to establish reliable banks.
Our Mexican Policy.
For two years revolution and countel
revolution have dlstraught the neigh
boring republic Of Mexico. BrigandagC
has involved a great deal of depreda
ton upon foreign interests. There nav'
constantly recurred questions of ex
treme delicacy. On several occasions
very difficult situations have arisen oil
our frontier. Throughout this tryini
period the policy of the United State
has been one of patient noninterven
ton, steadfast recognition of constitut
ed authority In the neighboring ne

treatment for American products that
the department OF state consistently
has sought to obtain for American
commerce abroad.
Business Secured to Our Country by
Direct Official Effort.
As illustrating the commercial bene-
fits to the nation derived from the new
diplomacy and its effectiveness upon
the material as well as the more ideal
side, 1t may be remarked that through
direct official efforts alone there have
been obtained In the course of this
administration contracts from foreign
governments involving an expenditure
Of S50.0OO,0Oo in the factories of the
United States.
Ii is germane to these observations TO
remark that in the two years that have
elapsed since the successful negotia-
ton of our new treaty with Japan,
which at the time seemed to present so
many practical difficulties, our export
trade to that country has increased at
the rate of over $1,000.oo0 a month.
Our exports to Japan for the year end
ed June 80 1910, were $21, ,95o,31O
while for the year ended June 80, 1912,

The act adopted at the last session
/ Of congress to give effect to the fur
seal convention of July Z, 1911, between
Great Britain. Japan, Russia and the
United States provided for the sus-
pension of all land killing Of seals on
the Prbilof Islands for n period OF
five years, and an objection has now
been presented to this provision by the
other parties in interest, which raises
the issue as to whether or not this
prohibition of land killing is inconsist'
ent with the spirit If not the letter OF
the treaty stipulations. The justifica'
tion for establishing this close season
depends, under the terms of the con
ventlon, upon how far If at all 1t is
necessary for protecting and preserv
ing the American fur seal herd ana fot
increasing it's number This is a ques
ton requiring examination of the pres
ent condition of the herd and the treat
ment which it needs in the light OF
actual experience and scientific inves
tigation.
Final Settlement of North Atlantic
Fisheries Dispute.
On the Goth of July last an agree
ment was concluded between the Unit
ed States and Great Britain adopting
with certain notifications, the rule
and method of procedure recommend
: ed in the award rendered by the Nortl
E Atlantic coast fisheries arbitration tn

ton in It's sore troubles the sympa-
thetic friendship Of the United States

Agricultural Credits.
A most important work accomplished
IN the past year by the American dip
lomatic officers in Europe is the inves-
tiga ton of the agricultural credit sys.
tenn in the European countries. Both
as n means to afford relief to the con.
sumers of this country through more
thorough development of agricultural
resources and as a means of more sufIl-
ciently maintaining the agricultural
pODulation. the project to establish
credit facilities for the farmers is a
concern of vital Importance to this ma.
ton.
No evidence of prosperity among well
established farmers should blind us to
the fact that lack of capital is prevent
ing a development of the nations agri-
cultural resources and an adequate In.
crease of the land under cultivation;
that agricultural production is fast fall
ing behind the increase in population
and that, in fact, although these well
established farmers are maintained in
Increasing prosperity because OF the
natural increase in population, we are
not developing the industry of agricul-
ture.
Advantage of Maximum and Minimum
Tariff Provision.
The importance which our manufac-
lures have assumed in the commerce
Of the world in competition with the
manufactures of other countries again
draws attention to the duty OF this
government to use its utmost endeav'
ors to secure impartial treatment for
American products in all markets
Healthy commercial rivalry in interna
! tional intercourse is best assured by
! the possession OF proper means fol
protecting and promoting our foreign
I trade. 1t is natural that competitive
countries should view with some con
cern this steady expansion of our com
merce If in some instances the meas

entirely equitable remedy should bt
found.
In former messages | have described
the negotiations of the department o
state with foreign governments for th
adjustment of the maximum and mini
mum tariff as provided in section o
the tariff law of 1909. The advantage
secured by the adjustment of our trad
relations under this law have contn
ued during the last year. and some ad
ditional cases of discriminatory treat
ment of which we had reason to com
plain have been removed. The depart
ment of state has for the first time Il
