lug fellows that is,, upon our nation
as a whole. Good manners should be
an International no less than an In
dividual attribute. I ask fair treat
ment for the Japanese as I would
ask fair treatment for Germans or
Englishmen, Frenchmen, Russians, or
Italians. I ask it as due to humanity
and civilization. I ask it as due to
ourselves because we must act up
rightly toward all men.
"I recommend to the congress that
an act be passed specifically provid
ing for the naturalization of Japanese
who come here -intending to become.
American citizens. One of the great
embarrassments attending the per
formance of our international obliga
tions is the fact that the statutes of
the United States are entirely Inade
quate. They fail to give to the na
tional government sufficiently ample
power, through United States courts
and by the use of the army and navy,
to protect aliens in the rights secured
to them under solemn treaties which
ara the law of the land. I therefore
earnestly recommend that the criminal
and civil statutes of the United States
he so. amended and added to as to en
able the president, acting for the'
United States government, which is
responsible in our international rela
tions, to enforce the rights of aliens
under, treaties. Even as the law now
Is something can be done by the fed
eral government toward this end, and
in the matter now before me affecting
the Japanese, everything that it is in
my power to ,do will be done, and all
of the -forces, military and civil, of the
Unltpd States -which -I may lawfully
employ will- be so employed. There
should, however, be no particle of
doubt as to the power of the national
government completely to perform
and enforce its own obligations to oth
er nations. The mob of a single city
.may afc aiiy time perform acjs of law
'less violence 'against some class of
foreigners, which would plunge us into
war. That city by itself would be pow-

erless to make defense against the for,
eign power thus assaulted, and if in
dependent of this government it would
never venture to perform or permit
the performance of tho acts com
plained of The entire power and the
whole duty to protect the offending
city or the offending community lies
m mi minus or tne united States gov
ernment. It is unthinkable that we
should continue a policy under which
a given locality may be allowed to
commit a crime against a friendly na
tion, and the United States envprn-
mont limited, not to preventing tho
commission of the crime, but in the
last resort, to defending the people
who have committed it against the
consequences of their own wrong
doing." The president says that things are
progressing well in Cuba and promises
that "when tho election has been held
and the new government inaugurated
in peaceful and orderly fashion the
provisional government will come to
an end."
He devotes considerable space to
the third conference of American re
publics held in Rio do Janerio in July,
1906. He attaches as an appendix to
his message a copy of the address de
livered at that conference by Secre
tary Boot.
He promises to deal with his Pan
ama trip in a later message.
In a chapter entitled "Peace and
Righteousness" the president says:
"The United States navy is the sur
est guarantor of peace which this
country possesses." "While he says he
will not ask that we "continue to in
crease our navy" he asks that it be
"maintained at its present strength"
and adds: "This can be done only
if we replace the obsolete and worn
out ships by new and good ones, the
equals of any afloat in any navy."
He pleads for more liberal appropria
tions for army and navy and for more
generous expenditures for the train
ing of the men of both branches and
concludes his message in this way:
"The congress has most wisely pro
vided for a national board for the
promotion of rifle practice. Excel
lent results have already come from
this law, but , it does not go far
enough. Our regular army is so small
that in any great war we should have
to trust mainly to volunteers; and in
such event these volunteers should al
ready know how to shoot; for if a
soldier has the fighting edge, and
ability to take care. of himself In the
open, his efficiency on the line of bat
tle is almost directly proportionate to
excellence in marksmanship. We
should establish shooting galleries in
'all the large public and military
schools; should maintain national tar
get ranges in different parts of the
country, and should in every way en
courage the formation of rifle clubs
throughout all parts of tho land. The
little republic of Switzerland offers
us an excellent example in all matters
connected with building up an efficient
citizen soldiery."
THE PRIMARY PLEDGE
I promise to attend all the primaries of my party to be held between
now and, th nest Democratic National Convention, unless unavoidably '
prevented and to us my influence to secure, a clear, honest and
Btraightforward declaration of the party's position on every queation
upo which the voters of the party desire to speak.
