tercourse respect. and heipfulness be-
selves
We shall lend our influence Of every
Kind to the realization OF these princi-
pies In fact and practice. knowing that
disorder; personal intrigue, and defiance
OF constitutional rights weaken and dis
credit government and injure none 50
much as the people who are -unfortu>
nate enough to have their common life
and their common affairs 50 tainted and
disturbed.
those VINO seek to seize the power OF
government TO advance their own per.
sonal interests or ambition.
we are the friends of peace but We
know that there can be no lasting OF
stable peace In such circumstances. As
who act in the interest Of peace and
honor, who protect private rights and
respect the restraints OF constitutional
provision. Mutual respect seems to US
the indispensable foundation Of friend
ship between states as between. in
THE United States has nothing to
seek In Central and South America ex-
cept the lasting interests Of the peoples
OF the two continents. the security of
governments intended for the people
and for no special group or interest. and
the development Of personal and trade
relationships between the two conti-
nents which shall rebound to the profit
and advantage of both. and interfere
with the rights and liberties of neither.
From these principles may be read
so much of the future policy of this
Government as II is necessary now to
forecast: and in the spirit Of these prin-
ciples l may. I horv, be permitted with
as much confidence as earnestness 20
extend to the governments OF all the
republics Of America the hand OF genu-
inc disinterested friendship. and to
pledge my own honor and the honor of
my colleagues to every enterprise OF

will decide TO lend their assistance in
every possible way, and place their
records at the disposal of the right au-
thorities.
Somewhat similar valuations of rail-
road and other properties have been
made in many countries. but never on
such a scale. Prussia, Switzerland and
other countries have had to make vaiu-
ations as q preliminary to purchase by
the government. But these valuations
were commonly made piecemeal, ana
for properties rot comparable in extent
with the railroad and telegraph and
telephone systems OF this nation. The
statement that nearly half of all the
worlds railroads are in the United
states suggests what an. operation is
ahead.
British Telephone Report.
\ British royal commission has only
recently completed the valuation of the
telephone systems of the United King
dom. after wears of work. That opera
ton preliminary TO their late purchase
by the government, was looked upon as
tremendous: vet it would not be an in
oident i'm the performance now imposed
upon the Interstate Commission.
One of the important details required
III making the forthcoming valuation,
is that the property in every State shall
be itemized and appraised separately.
so that every State will know exactly
how much value in these various SER
vices is assigned to II.
The commission must decide. first, on
the plan OF doing the work, and then
determine whether board or a single
individual executive shall be placed in
charge of the work. II is understood
tnere is already some difference Of opin-
ion, some members favOring single
executive. others commission.
The commissioners are genarally high
ly pleased with the law, because. while
1t tells them very specifically what they
must ascertain, IL leaves to their dis
cretion the manner of procedure.
