Cites Porto Rican Arguments
The argument for the proposed
amendments of the organic law OF
Porto Rico is brief and conclusive
The present laws governing the island
and regulating the rights ana PRIV
leges of it's people are not Just. we
have created expectations of EXTENDED
privilege which we have not satisfied
There is uneasiness among the people
of the island and even a suspicious
doubt with regard to our intentions
concerning them which the adoption
of the pending measure would happlly
remove We do not doubt what we
wish to do in any essential particular
We ought to do it at once.
At the last session of the Congress
a bill was passed by the Senate which
provides for the promotion of voca-
tional and industrial education, which
is of vital Importance to the Whole
country because 1t concerns matter,
too long neglected, upon which the
thorough industrial preparation of the
country for the critical years of eco
nomic development Immediately ahead
of us in very large measure depends.
May not urge it's early and favorable
consideration by the House of Repre-
sentatives and its early enactment into
law? 1t contains plans which affect
all interests and all parts of the coun-
try and l am sure that there is no
legislation now pending before the
Congress whose passage the country
awaits with more thoughtful approval
or greater impatience to see a great
and admirable thing set in the way of
being done.
There are other matters already ad-
vanced to the stage of conference be-
tween the two houses of which it is
not necessary that l should speak.
Some practicable basis of agreement
concerning them will no doubt be
found and action taken upon them.
Inasmuch as this is. gentlemen,
probably the last occasion I shall have
to address the Sixty-fourth Congress,
I hope that you will permit me to
say with what genuine pleasure and
satisfaction l have co-operated with
you in the many measures of con-
structive policy with which you have
enriched the legislative annals of the
country. 1t has been a privilege to
labor in such company. take the
| liberty of congratulating you upon the
completion of record of rare service
n hleness and distinction.

100000 Will Be
Necessary to Strengthen
u. S. Army and Navy

Washington, ID. c., Dec. 5. - Esti-
mates for maintaining and strength
ening the army and navy during the
fiscal year 1918 indicate that Congress
will be asked this winter to provide
about $500, 100000 for that purpose.
The total of estimates already sub
mitted and made public when Con-
gress convened. is S757, 7,6S4,560 to
cover the military activities of both
departm ments. Statements made by
navy officials to the House Naval
Committee, now considering that bill,
have foreshadowed however, large
supplementary estimates to be sub
mitted later, and similar situation
exists at the War Department.
The preliminary estimate for the
army is s373,074.565, an increase of
about $70,000,000 over the amount
appropriated for 1917. The navy
total of s379,151.701 is an increase
of s66,451.146 over 1917 figures.
Panama Canal fortifications will take
s5,35S,300, an increase of about $780,
900.
More than s10.ooO,O0o of the army
increase will go into the payment of
regulars, national guardsmen and
members of the reserve. total of
$97.794,995 is sought under the pay
item and the estimates show that the
number of privates provided for un-
der this section is 258,594. OF that
total 94,279 would be in the regular
service and 164,315 in the national
guard.
