A Fnlluro to TnM Favorably Upon It, n Says, Would Coino I'nrllotinty Noar a Itopiidlatlon of tho Pledged Faith of tho Nation. Washington, Nov. 10. Tho follow lng message was sent to congress to day by tho president, telling tho rea son why It was called in oxtraordinary session: To the Sonato nnd Houso of Representa tives: I lmvo convoneu congress that it may consider tho lcRloiHtlon necessary to put into operation the commercial treaty with Cuba, which was ratllled by tho senate at Its last session and subsequently by tho Cuban government. I deem such legislation demanded not only by our In terest, but by our honor. Wo cannot with propriety abandon tho course upon which wo have so wisely embarked. When tlw nceeptnhco of tho Piatt amendment was required from Cuba by tho action of the congress of tho United States this govern ment thereby definitely committed ltsell to tho policy of treating Cuba as occupy ing a unique position us regards this country. It was provided that when the lslnnd becamo a freo nnd Independent re public she should stand In such closo re lations with us as In certain respects to como within our system of International policy; and It necessarily followed that sho must also to a certain degreo be come Included within the lines of our economic policy. Situated as Cr.ba Is it would not bo possible for this country to permit tho strategic abuso of the plan by uny foreign military power. It Is for this reason that certnln limitations have been Imposed upon her financial policy and that naval stations have been conceded by her to tho United Stutes. Tho ne gotiations as to tho details of thea naval stations aro on tho eve ' o. completion. They aro so situated aa to prevent any Idea that there Is tho Intention ever to uso them against Cuba or otherwise than for tho protection of Cuba from tho ussaults of foreign foen and for tho better safeguarding of Amer ican Interests In the waters south of us. These Interests havo been lnrgely In creased by tho consequences of tho war with Spain and will bo still further in creased by tho building of tho Isthmian canal. They are both military and eco pomlc. Thu granting to us by Cuba of tho naval stations nbove alluded to Is of tho most Importance from a military standpoint and is proof of the good faith with which Cuba Is treating us. Cuba 1ms mode great progress slnco her Inde pendence was established. Sho has ad vanced steadily In every way. Sho al rendy stands high among hor sister re publics of tho new world. Sho is loynlly observing her obligations to us; and sho Is entitled to like treatment by us. Tho treaty submitted to you for ap proval secures to tho United States economic advantages as great as those given to Cuba. Not an American Inter est Is sacrificed by the treaty. A large Cutean market Is secured to our pro ducers. It Is a market which lies at our doors, which Is already large, which Is capabln of great expansion nnd which Is especially Important to tho development of our export trade. It would be Indeed shortsighted for us to refuso to take ad vantage of such opportunity and to forco Cuba Into 'making arrangements with other countries to our disadvantage. This reciprocity treaty stands by it self. It Is demanded on consideration of broad national pollpy as well as by our economic Interest. It will do harm to no Industry. It will benefit many Industries. It Is In the Interest of our people hs a whole, both becauso of Its Importance from tho broad standpoint of Interna tional policy and becauso economically It Intimately concerns u to develop and secure tho rich Cuban market for opr farmers, artisans, merchants and manu facturers. Finally. It Is desirable as a guaranty of the good faith of our nation towards her young sister republic to tho south, whoso welfare must ever be close ly bound with ours. "Wo gave her lib erty. Wo aro knit to her by the memo ries of the blood nnd the courage of our soldiers who fought for her in war; by tho memories of the wisdom and Integrity of our administrators who saved hor in peace and who started her so well on the difficult path of self-government. We must help her onward and upward, nnd In holping her wo shall help ourselves. Tho foregoing considerations caused tho negotiation of the treaty with Cuba and its ratification by tho senato. They now with equal forco support the legislation by the congress which by tho terms of tho treaty Is necessary to render It opera tive, a raiiure to enact such legislation would come perilously near a repudiation of tho pledged faith of tho nation. I transmit herewith the treaty as amended by tho sonato and ratified by tho uuuan government. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. Whlto House, Nov. 10, 1903. NOT FOR JOINT STATEHOOD.

A Tnle of the Time ot the Cncanrs By Malcolm Dearborn, Author of "Lionel Anion;" This story covers an interesting period,, that of the brutal Tiberius Caesar and the trial and death of Christ.
