Tho Argentine Republic will nlso hold
from Vny to November. 1010. at lltienos

exhibition In which the t'nlteit States has
been Invited to participate, ('onslileilnt;
tho rapid growth of the trade of tho lTnl
ted States with the Argentine Republic
mill tin cordial relations existing between
tho two nations, together with tho fact
thnt It provides an opportunity to show
deference to a sister republic, on the oc
casion of tho celebration of Its nation
al Independence, tho proper departments
of this government ure taking steps to ap
prise the Interests concerned of the op
portunity afforded by this exhibition. In
which appropriate participation by this
country Is so desirable. The designation
of nn oltlclnl representative Is also receiv
ing conMderatloii.
The Pan-American policy of this gov
ernment has long been fixed In lis prin
ciples and remains unchanged. With the
changed circumstances of the I'nlteil
States and of the republics to the south
of us. most of which have gieat natural
resources, stable government and pro
gressive Ideals, tho apprehension which
gnvo rise to tho Monroe tloctilne mny be
said to have nearly disappeared and nei
ther doctrlno an it exists nor any
other doctrine of American policy should
bo permitted to operate for the perpetua
tion of Irresponsible government, the es
enpe of Just obligations or the Insidious
allegation of dominating ambitions on tho
part of tho United States.
Reside the fundamental docttlnes of our
Pan-American policy there have grown
up a realization of political Interests,
community of Institutions and Ideals und
a nourishing commerce. All theso bonds
will bo greatly strengthened as time goes
on and Increased facilities, such as the
great bank soon to be established in Iat-tn-Amerifu,
supply the means for build
ing tip the colossal Intercontinental com
merce of the future.
My meeting with President Diaz nnd
the greeting exchanged on both Ameri
can and Mexican soil served, 1 hope, to
signalize the closo nnd cordial relations
which so well bind together this republic
nnd tho great republic Immediately to tlm
south, between which there Is so vast u
network of matcrlul Interests.
I inn happy to say that all but one of
the cases which for so long vexed our
relations with Venezuela have been set
tled within tho past few mouths and that,
under the enlightened regime now direct
ing the government of Venezuela, provi
sion has been made for arbitration of tho
remaining cane before Tho Hague, tri
bunal.
Since tho Washington conventions of
1007 were communicated to the govern
ment of the United States as a consult
ing and advisory party, this government
ban been almost continuously culled upon
by ono or another, and In turn by nil of
tho five Central Amerlcnn republics, to
exert Itself for tho maintenance of the
conventions. Nearly every complaint has
been against tho Zolayn, government of
Nicaragua, which has kept Central Amer
Icn In constant tension and turmoil. The
responses iniiiln to the representations of
Central American republics, as due from
tho I'lilted States on account of Its rela
tion to tho Washington conventions, hnvn
Veen nt all times conservative nnd have
avoided, m far .is possible, any semblance
of Interference, although It Is very appar
ent that the considerations of geograph
ic proximity to tho canal zone ami of the
very substantial American Interests In
Central America glvn to the United
States a special position In tho zone of
these republics and tho Caribbean sea.
I noed not rohearse hero tho patient
efforts of this government to proinoto
peace and welfmo among those repub
lics, efforts which are fully uppicclated
by tho majority of them, who aro ioyal
to their true interests. It would bu no
less unnecessary to rehearse here tho
sad tnlo of unsponkable barbarities nnd
oppression alleged to have been commit
tinl by the Zelaya government. Recently
two Americans were put to death by or
der of President Zeluyn himself. They
were officers In tho organized forces of
& revolution which was In control of
about halt of the republic, and as such,
according in the modern enlightened
practice of civilized nations, thev were

The eonsulai scribe bus been Itu
proved under the law of April fi. IPOti,
and the executive order of June 27, KH0,
a ml I commend to your consideration tho
question of embodying In a statute the
principles or the piesent executive oruer
upon which tho elllclency or our consular
service Is wholl dependent.
Expenditures and Revenues.
Perhaps the most Important question
presented to this administration Is that
of economy In expenditures und sutll
clenoy of revenue. The deficit of the
last Ilscal year, and tin ceituln delicti
of the current year, prompted congress
to throw a greater responsibility on
the executive and the seen tury of the
treasury than bad heretofore been de
clared y statute. This declaration
Imnoses iiniin the secretary of the
ireiisur.v the duty of assembling nil the
estltnatcH of the executive departments,
bureaus and olllces of the expenditures
necessary in the ensuing llscitl year,
and of making an estimate or the reve
nues of the government fur the same
period; and if a probable dellclt Is thus
shown. It Is made the duty of the presi
dent to recommend the method by
which such dellclt can be met.
The icport of the secretary shows
that the ordinary expenditures for the
current Ilscal year ending June 30. 1910.
will exceed the estimated receipts, by
:i1.07!i,ii2O. If to this dellclt Is lidded
the sum to he disbursed for the Pnn
amii Canal. nmountltiK to J38.000.000.
and $ I, HOI). 000 to he paid on the public
debt, the dellclt of ordinary lecelpts
and expenditures will be Increased to
ll total dellclt of 7:i.O7r.fi:0. This def
icit the secretary proposes to meet by
the proceeds of bonds Issued to pay
tho uosl of constructing; the Panama
Cuiinl. 1 approve this proposal.
In order to avoid a dellclt for the
ensuing tlscnl vear. I directed the
heads of departments In the prepara
tion of the'r est'miites to make them
as low as possible consistent with Im
perative governtnentnl necessity
Civil Pensions.
I urn aware that there Is a strong
feeling in both hoiiseH of congress, und
possibly In the country, against the
establl.iinient of civil pensions, and
that this has tint urall;' grown out of
the heavy burden of military pensions,
vvhlih It Iiiih always been the policy
of our government to assume; but I
am strongly convinced that no other
piactrunl solution of the dlflleultUs
presented by the superannuation of
civil servants can be found than that
of a system of civil pensions.
Frauds In the Collection of Customs.
I regret to refer to the fact of the
discovery of extensive frauds In the
collection of the customs revenue at
New York city. In which a number of
tho subordinate employes In the weigh
ing and other departments were di
rectly concerned, nnd In which the
henelkiarles were the American Sugar
Refining Company and others The
frauds consisted In tho payment of
duty on underweights of sugar The
government has recovered from the
American Sugar Iteilnlng Company all
that It Is shown In have been defraud
m1 of. The sum was received In full
of the amount due. which might have
been recovered bv civil suit against
the beneficiary of the fraud, but there
was an express reservation In tho con
tract of settlement by which the settle
ment should not Interfere with, or pre
vent the criminal prosecution of every
one who was found to be subject to
the same.
Criminal prosecutions are now pro
ceeding; against a number of the gov
ernment otllcers. The treasury de
partment and the department of Jus
tice am exerting evory effort to dis
cover all the wrongdoers. Including
tho ofllcers nnd employes of the coin
panics who may have been privy to
the fraud. It would seem to me that
an Investigation of the frauds by con
gress at present, pending tho probing
by the treasury department and the
department of Justice, as proposed,
might by giving Immunity and other
wise prove an embarrassment In secur
ing conviction of the guilty parties.
The Tariff Act.
Two features of the new tariff act
call for special reference Ry virtue
of the clause known na the "maximum
and minimum" clnttse, it Is the duty
of tho executive to consider the laws
and practices of other countries with
refetence to the Importation Into those
countries of the products and mer
chandise of tho United States, and If
the executive finds such laws and prac
tices not to ho unduly discriminatory
against the United States, the mini
mum duties provided In the bill lire tn
Ho Into foi en. Unless the president
makes such a Undine, then tho maxi
mum duties pinvlilcd In the bill, that
is, an Increase of 25 per cent ml valo
rem over the minimum duties are to
ini la fo'ce. Pear has been expressed
that this power conferred nnd duty
Imposed on the executive Is likely to
lend to a tariff war. 1 beg to express
the hope and belief that no such result
need bo anticipated
Tho discretion granted to the execu
tive bv the terms "unduly discrim
inatory" Is wide, in order that the
maximum duty Hliall he charged against
the Imports from a country, It Is neces
sary that he shall find on tho part of
Mint country not only discriminations
In Its laws or tho practice under them
against the trade of the United States,
but that the discriminations found
Hhull bo undue; that Is, without good
and fair reason, I conceive that this
powor was reposed In the president
with the hope that the maximum du
ties might never be applied In'auy case,
but that the power to apply them would
enable the mesldent ntul the state de
piirtmeut tbiniiKh friendly negotiation

Second-Class Mail Matter.
The delli It every year In the post
office department Is larnfly caused bv the
low rate of postage of one cent a pound
charged on second-class mall matter,
which Includes not only newspapers but
magazines and miscellaneous periodicals.
The actual loss growing out of the trans
mission of this second-class mall matter
at one cent a pound amounts tn about
Ji.3,000.0ti0 il year The average cost of the
transportation of this matter Is more than
nine cents a pound.
It appeals that the average distance ov
er which newspapers are delivered to
their customers Is "JO! miles, while the
average haul of magazines Is 1,04V, and
of inlsiellaneotis periodicals l.lil miles
Thus, the averuge haul of the magazine
Is three and one-half times and thnt or
the miscellaneous periodical nenrly four
times the haul of the dally newspaper, yet
ull of them pay tin; same postage rate of
one cent u pound. Tho statistics of I&07
show that second-class mall matter con
stituted ia.91 per cent, of the weight of
all the mall, and yielded only 5.19 per ent
of the icvenue.
The llguics given are staitllng, and
show the payment by the government of
an enormous subsidy to tho newspapers,
magazines und periodicals, and congress
may well consider whether radical steps
should not be Inken to reduce the dellclt
In the postolflie department caused by
this discrepancy between the actual cost
ot transportation and the compensation
exalted therefor.
A great saving might be made, amount
ing to much more than half of the loss
by Imposing upon magazines nnd peri
odicals a higher into of postage They
ure much heuvler than newspapers and
contain n much higher propoitlnn of ad
vertising to reading matter, and the uver-
iigo distance of their transportation Ii
thtee mid a half times as great
Postal Savings Banks.
The sei onil subject worthy of mention
In the pnstolllec department Is the real
necessity und entile puietleublllty of es
tablishing postal savings banks. The suc
cessful party at the Inst election declared
lu favor of postal savings hanks, nnd al
though the pioposltlon finds opponents In
many parts of the country, I am con
vinced that the people deslio such banks,
and am sine that when the banks are fur
nished they will be productive of the lib
most good.
Favors Ship Subsidy.
I 'olio wing the course of my distin
guished predecessor, I earnestly recom
mend tn congress the consideration and
passage ot it ship subsidy bill, looking to
the establishment of lines between our
Atlantic seaboard nnd the eastern const
of South Ameilia, us well ns lines from
the vvefrl const of the United Slates to
South America. China, Japan and tho
Philippines. The proiltn on foreign malls
are pet haps n stlfllclent measure of the
expenditures which might first bo tenta
tively applied to this method of Inducing
American capital tn undertake the estab
lishment of American lines or steamships
In those directions In which we now feel
it most Impoitatit that we should have
means of transportation controlled In the
Interest of the expansion of our trade. A
bill of this chnraiter has oliee passed the
house and more than once passed the
senate, and 1 hope that at this session a
hill framed on the same lines and with
the same purposis may become a law.
Conserving National Resources.
In rievi'tnl departments there Is present
ed tho necessity for legislation looking to
the further conrervntlon of our national
reuourrcB, and the subject Is ono of such
Importance us to require n moro detailed
and extended discussion than can bo en
tered upon In this communication, l-'or
that reason I shall take an early oppor
tunity to send u special message tn con
gress on the subject of the Improvement
of our waterways, upon the reclamation
und Irrigation of arid, scml-urld. and
r.wnmp lands; upon the preservation of
our forests and the reforesting of suit

the public domain with a view of sep
