eit,n1ate Iu4e.sn claims.

o1tInaie Iu4 c4ssu clalinS.
 In the recent revolution in Nicarag qua, which it was generally admitted might well have resulted in a general Central American conflict but for the interven- ton of the United States, the govern ment of Honduras was especially men aced, but fortunately peaceful condi- tions were maintaned within the Dor ders of that republic. The financial condition of that country remains un- changed, no means having been found for the final adjustment of pressing er tstanding foreign claims. This makes it the more regretta ble that the f1nan- cial convention between the United States and Honduras has thus far fail ed of ratification. The government of the United States continues to hold itself ready to cooperate with the gov ernment of Honduras, which. it is be- Heved. cannot much longer delay the meeting of it's foreign obligations. and it is hoped at the proper time American bankers will be willing to cooperate for this purpose
 Necessity For Greater Governmental
 Effort In Retention and Expansion of
 Our Foreign Trade.
 It 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 indispensable to our. prosperity, even greater efforts must be made. Other wise the American merchant, manu- facturer and exporter will find many a field in which American trade should logically predominate pre-empted through the more energetic efforts of other governments and other com mercial nations.
 There are many ways in which through hearty cooperation the legislative and executive branches of this govern ment can do much. The absolute es- sential is the spirit of united effort and singleness of purpose. l will al- Jude only to a very few specific ex- amples of action which ought then to result. America cannot take it's proper place in the most important fields for it's commercial activity and enterprise unless we have a merchant marine. American commerce and en- terprise cannot be effectively fostered in those fields unless we have good American banks in the countries re ferred to-
 We need American newspa pers in those countries and proper means for public information about them. We need to assure the permanency of a trained foreign service. We need leg

isIation enabling the mem bers of the foreign service to be systef1ia ticaIly brought in direct contact with the in- dustrial, manufa curing and exporting interests of this country in order that American business men may enter the foreign field with clear perception of the exact conditions to be dealt with and the officers themselves may prose cute their work with a clear idea of what American industrial and manu- featuring interests require.
 Conclusion.
 Congress should fully realize the conditions which obtain in the world as we find ourselves at the threshold of our middle age as nation. We have emerged full grown as a peer in the great concourse of nations. We have passed through various formative pc riods. We have been self entered in the struggle to develop our domestic resources and deal with our domestic questions. The nation is now too ma ture to ontiul!e in it's foreign reIa ations those temporary. expedients- natural to the sole concern.
 In the past our diplomacy has often consisted, in normal times, in a mere
 
 existence. We are now in a larger rela- ton with broader rights of our own and obligations to others than our selves. A number of great guiding principles were laid down early in the history of this government, The recent task of our diplomacy has been to ad- just those principles to the conditions. of today. to develop their coroIlaries. to find practical applications of the old principles expanded to meet new, sit nations. Thus are being evolved bases upon which can rest the superstructure of policies which must grow with the destined progress of this nation. The successful conduct of our foreign rela- lions demand a broad and modern view. We cannot meet new questions nor build for the future if we confine ourselves to outworn dogmas of the past and to the perspective appropriate at our emergence from colonial times and conditions. ss
 The opening of the Panama canal will mark a new era in our iDterna tionaI life and create new and world wide conditions which. with their vast cor relations and consequences. will obtain for hundreds of, years to come. We must not wait for events to oyertake us unawares. With continuity of pur- pose we must deal with the problems of our external relations by a diplo- macy modern. resourcefuI. magnani- aous and fttingly expressive of the ( gh ideals of great nation.
