LOAN ron ARMENIAN.
In response to what l believe to
be the impulse OF sympathy and
opinion throughout the United
States. I earnestly suggest that the
Congress authorize the Treasury of
the United states to make TO the
struggling government of Armenia
such q loan as was made to several
of the allied governments during
the war: and I would also suggest
that II would be desirable to pro-
vide in the legislation itself that
the expenditure OF the money thus
loaned should be under the super
vision of a commission. or at least
co nmissioner, from the United
States, In order that revolutionary
tendencies within Armenia itself
might not be afforded by the loan
further renoting opportunity.
DISCUSSES PHILIPPINES.
Allow me to call your attention
to the fact that the people OF the
Philippine Islands have succeeded
in maintaining a stable government
since the last action of the Con-
gross in their behalf, and have thus
fulfilled the condition set by the
Congress- as precedent TO a con
sideration Of granting independ-
ence to the islands. l respectfully
submit that this condition prcce-
dent having been fulfilled. it is
now our liberty and our duty to
keep our promise to the people of
those islands by granting them the
independence which they SO honor
ably covet.
I have not so much laid before
you a series of recommendations
gentlemen. as sought to utter a con-
fession of faith. of the faith in
which l was bred and which 1t is
my solemn purpose to stand by un-
til my last fighting day. l believe
this to be the faith of America, the
faith Of the future, and Of all the
victories which await national ac-
ton in the days to come. whether
in America or elsewhere.
