President Comments on Bills.

The President said:
Il cannot let an occasion like this
pass without saying something about
the feelings with which l sign these
bills, many of which will probably be
momentous in their results. 1 think
that the whole country will feel that
this Congress has accomplished a very
remarkable part of the program of ma
tional defense.
This bill that ! have signed for the
army is merely the appropriation BILL
ii is not the bill by which we reorgan-
lied the army, of course you under
stand, but it does carry with it very
much needed revision of the articles of
war. and ii does mean that the finances
of the nation are to stand behind the
reorganization of the army and it's use
for adequate national defense.

Adequate Navy Provided.

THE navy bill is very remarkable
measure. Never before by. one single act
of legislation has so much been done for
the creation of an adequate navy.
Our navy has steadily grown. 1 think
the development of that arm of force
has always had the enthusiastic support
of the nation. 1t is matter of unusual
qualification, therefore. that we should
have been able at this time to do SO
much. to do il so well. as | believe it to
be done in this bill and to do it with
such unanimty of support and opinion.
THE Philippine bill excites peculiar
feelings in me, because there have been
times when the people of the Philippine
Islands doubted our intention to be liber-
ally just to them / hope and believe that
this bill is sufficient earnest to them
of our real intentions.
ut is a very satisfactory advance in
our policy Of extending to them genu
inc self-government and CONTROL of
inc seh-government. 1t is only by such
means that any people comes into con-
tentment and into political capacity
and ii was high time that we did this
act of justice which we now have done.
Aid to Industry.
The last bill, the bill of Iading bill, I
believe will be most substantial as
sistancc to the right conduct of both
the commercial and financial business
CT the country.
