PRESIDENT WILSON'S MESSAGE TO CONGRESS GIVEN
emen of the Congress:

Gentlemen of the Congress.
WASHINGTON, December president
Wilson's message to Congress today was
as follows:
In pursuance of my constitutional
duty TO give To the Congress infor-
nation of the state of the union" l
take the liberty of addressing you on
several matters which ought. as it
seems to me. particularly to engage the
attention of your honorable bodies, as
of all who study the welfare and pro-
gress of the nation.
| shall ask your Indulgence If L ven
ture to depart in some degree from the
usual custom of setting before you in
formal review the many matters which
have engaged the attention and called
for the action of the several depart
ments of the government or which look
TO them for early treatment in the
future because the list is long, very
long, and would suffer in the abbre-
Walton to which l should have to sub
5ect 1t. I shall submit to you the re-
ports of the heads of the several de-
partments, in which these subjects are
set forth in careful detail, and beg that
they may receive the thoughtful atten-
tion of your committees and of all
members of the Congress who may have
the leisure to study them. Their OBJ

Our bureau of mines ought to be
equipped and empowered to render even
more effectual service than 1t renders
now in improving the conditions Of
mine labor and making the mines more
economically productive we'll as more
safe. This is an all important part of
the work of conservation. and the con-
serVation of human life and energy lies
even nearer to our interest than the
preservation from waste of our ma
terial resources.
Justice for Employees
We owe it, in mere justice to the rail-
way employees of the country, to pro-
vide for them a fair and effective EN-
ployersi liability act; and a law that
we can stand by in this matter Will
be no less to the advantage of those
who administer the railroads of the
country than to the advantage of those
whom they-employ. The experience of
a large number of the states abundant
ly proves that.
We ought to devote ourselves to
meeting pressing demands of plain JUS :
tice like this as earnestly as to the ac-
complishment of political and economic
reforms Social justice comes first.

tion and is vital only as it expresses

These are all matters of vital domestic
concern, and besides them. outside the
charmed circle of our own national life
in which our affections command us, as
well as our consciences, there stand out
our obligations toward our territories over
sea. Here we are trustees. Porto Rico,
Hawaii, the Philippines, are ours, In
deed, but not ours to do what we please
with. Such territories, once regarded as
mere possessions. are no longer to be
selfishly exploited: they are part of the
domain of public conscience and of serv-
iceable and enlightened craftsmanship.
We must administer them for the people
who live in them and with the same sense
of responsibility to them toward our
own people in our domestic affairs. No
doubt we shall successfully enough bind
Porto Rico and the Hawaiian Islands to
ourselves by ties of justice and interest
and affection, but the performance of
our duty toward the Philippines is a more
difficult and debatable matter We can
satisfy the obligations of generous JUS

giving them the ample and familiar rights
and privileges accorded our own citizens

of that Independence steadily as the
way can be cleared and the foundations
thoughtfully and permanently laid.
Natives Appointed
Acting under the authority conferred
upon the President by Congress, / have
already accorded the people of the islands
majority In both houses of their legisla-
tive body by appointing five instead OF
four native citizens to the membership of
the commission. I believe that in this
way we shall make proof of their capacity
in counsel and their sense of RESPONSE

and that the success of this step will be
sure to clear our view for the steps which
are to allow. Step by step we should

put under the control of the native ciri-
zens of the archipelago the essential in
struments of their life, their local in

schools. all the common interests of their
communities, and so by counsel and eN-
perience set up a government which all
the world will see to be suitable to
people whose affairs are under their own
control At last, l hope and believe, we
are beginning to gain the confidence of
the Filipino peoples BY their counsel

to withdraw our supervision. Let US once

confident tread upon it and we shall not
wander from it or linger upon it.
duty faces us with regard to Alaska
which seems to me very pressing and
very imperative; perhaps | should say a
double duty for it concerns both the
political and the material development of
the territory. The people of Alaska should
be unlocked. One key to it Is a system
of railways. These the government should
build and administer, and the ports and
terminals it should itself control In the
interest of all who wish to use them for
the service and development of the coun-
try and its people.
Only the First Step
But the construction of railways Is
only the first step; Is only thrusting
in the KEEP to the storehouse and throw
Ing back the lock and opening the
door. How the tempting resources of
the country are to be exploited Is an
other matter, to which I shall take the
liberty of from time to time calling
your attention for it is a policy which
must be worked by well-considered
stages, not upon theory, but upon lines
of practical expediency. 1t is part of
our general problem of conservation.
We have a freer hand in working out
the problem In Alaska than in the
states of the union; and yet the prir-
ciple and object are the same, wher-
ever we touch 1t. We must use the
resources of the country, not lock them
up. There need be ne conflict or jeal-
ousy as between state and federal au-
thorities for there can be no essen
tial difference of purpose between them.
The resources In question must be used,
but not destroyed or wasted: used but
not monopo1ized upon any narrow idea
of Individual rights as against the
abiding interests of communities. That
a policy can be worked out by confer
ence and concession which will release
these resources and yet not leopard or
dfssipate them, / for one have no doubt !;
and 1t can be done on lines of regu-
lation which need be no less accept
able to the people and governments of
the states concerned than to the peo-
pie and government of the nation at
large, whose heritage these resources
are. We must bend our counsels to
this end. common purpose ought to

Country at Peace
The country, 1 am thankful to say.
is at peace with all the world, and
many happy manifestations multiply
about us of a growing cordia1ity and
sense OF community of interest among
the nations, foreshadowing an age of
settled peace and good Will. More and
more readily each decade do the ma
tions manifest their willingness to
bind themselves by so1men treaty to
the processes of peace, the processes
of frankness and fair concession. So far
the United States has stood at the front
of such negotiations. She will, | earn
estly hope and confidently believe, give
fresh proof of her sincere adherence
to the cause of international friendship
by raufying the several treaties of ar
bitration awaiting renewal by the Sem
ate. In addition to these, II has been

less than 81 nations, representing four
hfths of the population of the world,

1t shall be agreed that whenever diff
ferences of intrest or of policy arise
which cannot be resolved by the or
dinary processes of diplomacy they
shall be publicly analyzed, discussed,
and reported upon by tribunal chosen
by the parties before either nation de-
termines Its course of action.
There is only one possible standard

But One Cloud on Horizon
There is but one cloud upon Our horizon.
That has shown itself to the south of us,
and hangs over Mexico. There can be no
certain prospect of peace in America un-
til General Huerta has surrendered his
usurped authority in Mexico: until 1t is
understood on all hands indeed, that such
pretended governments will not be coun-
tenanced or dealt with by the govern
ment of the United States We are the
friends of constitutional government in
America; we are more than its friends,
we are its champions; because in no other
way can our neighbors, to whom We
would wish in every way to make proof
of our friendship, work out their own
development IN peace ana HDerey 4neN-
leo has no government The attempt to
maintain one at the City of Mexico has
broken down, and a mere military
despotism has been set up which has
hardly more than the semblance of ma
tional authority. 1t originated in the
usurpation of Victoriano Huerta, who
after a brief attempt to play the part of
constitutional President, has at last cast
aside even the pretense of legal right and
dec1ared himself dictator As a cOnSe-
ouence a condition of affairs now exists
