review Of the relations between the
government and the country will there
fore be disappointed with President
Wilson's rather brief communication
which declares upon only three inn
portant points of Legislation. He re-
views his recommendation for passage
of measures to prevent a nationwide
strike and asks for immediate proyis-
ion for the enlargement and admins
trative reorganization Of the Inter
state Commerce Commission "in order
that the Commission may be enabled
to deal with the many great and var
ious duties now devolving upon it with
a promptness and t~horoughness which
are, with its present constitution and
means of action practically impos-
sible." The President also recon-
mends legislation to remove the diff
culties that exist in the nature of OBJ
staclcs to foreign trade. Besides this,
he asks for new legislation with refer
ence to Porto Rico.
That .is the legislative program up
to date, and the congress accepts it as
coming in the manner Of instruction
from the President. The members may
be expected to get busy along these
important lines,
