from the present great struggle In the
east. Secretary Stimson says: "The
amount which we have permitted to
accumulate would be insufficient for a
single engagement of the character of
the ENGAGEMENTS in either the Russo
japanese or the present Balkan war"
Suggestions Of the old controversy
between the executive and congress
over the construction of dams i'm navi-
gable streams without compensation
to the government are contained in a
long chapter of the report dealing with
the attempt of the war department to
protect such streams. from private
congratulations. The secretary reiter-
ated his views already laid before
congress in connection with the veto
last session OF the Coesa river dam
bill, and he again urges that existing
law be amended SO that the guarantee
of a dam privilege be required to pay
| a reasonable sum to the government,
the proceeds to be used for the deVel-
opment of the stream, where the dam
is located.
The international waterways COM
mission has completed it's investiga-
ton of the boundary waters between
the United states and Canada and

upon ga dam at the outlet OF Lake
Erie" delayed by the illness of one of
the Canadian engineers, and it is sug-
gested hat the commission be extend
ed until April /, 1914.
For the Porto Ricans, the secretary
urges citizenship, declaring that it
was promised and that 1t had beer
earned by loyalty. The island should
also have a department OF labor and
agriculture and a department of health
and sanitation, as well as q rigorous
/ civil Service law, and all judicial offic-
ers. non-elective should be made APP
pointees.
A remarkable recital of the develop
meth of the Philippines in ways of
civilization during the fourteen years
of American occupation is given in the
report. 1t is declared hat there is
no other instance in history, where,
after four years of war and ~insurrec-
ton. to over 1000, 600 of an entire
alien race have been so soon given not
merely the forms of civil control, but
immediate and extensive participation
in their own government. Similarly, 2
says the secretary, there is no paral-
lei to the material, mental and moral
progress shown in these ten years of
civil government by so many millions

Of people, held for centuries in ig-
norance and in effect in political and
economic bondage" After making this
statement Secretary Stimson proceeds
to detail at length what a been ac-
complished in each separate direc-
ton in the islands; the sanitation,
the education, the development of new
Industries. the opening of the lands to
harbor works and railroads and irri-
cation plants. "Yet with all this pro-
gress, our work in the Philippines has
Just commenced" continues the sec
rotary. eEalf the children born in
Manila die in infancy; and a million
children are without schools; h old
system of peonage is still accepted
by the masses, who unless protected
kby the Americans would fall ready
victims to the rich and educated
Philippine minority, The American
policy. he says, should be continued
to completion for until all proposals
for independence + pleas for national
~reereancy on our part and for the
Reputation of the heavy and dificuit
burden which thus far we have been
bravely and consistently sustaining.
Even more is it unjust to the great
masses of Filipino, in h behalf
the high sounding slogan of liberty
and independence are shouted. After
having been for centuries sunk in fg-
a ana nela III SconuHi1C SupJeC-
ton, they are now being aroused to

welded. into national solidity. Along
this line, and along this line alone,
lies the true port of liberty and indie
~pendence.%
The closing chapter OF the report
deals with the Panama canal of
which it is said that while the Official
date of opening is set for Jan. /, 1915,
it is the intention to allow vessels to
utilize il as soon as possible-probably
during the latter half of 1918. The
secretary says that while he still be-
lieyes that the United States can re-
pay tolls to American vessels using
the canal, he is strongly Of the opinion
that such remission of tolls be not
granted, as they are necessary.
