The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1912-12-04
is THE FIRST OF A SERIES
President Deals With Foreign Re.a-
tions in MESSAGE to Congress.

Washington, Dec A note of
warning to European powers which
by indirect means continue to discrim-
mate against American trade; a strong
appeal to the congress to uplift the
great foreign policies OF America
above mere questions of partisanship
triumphant vindication of the di-
plomacy of the administration, which
is characterized as that of dollars
versus bullets" a masterful pride in
the enormous expansion of American
trade as a result of the foreign policies
of his administration, and an earnest
appeal for joint action by congress
and the executive to open new mar
kets for American ndustries-these
are the more striking features of
PresioSnt Taft's fourth annual mes
gage to congress.
The message is the first of series
of such communications which he will
make to congress in the early days of
the session and deals entirely with
the foreign relations of the United
States.
