Cuban Reciprocity
President's Theme
Message Read Before Both Houses
of 0ongress--National Policy
and Self Interest Demand Leg
islation
By Associated Press
Washington D. C Nov. 10. Tho
president's messago was read In the
house and senate soon after conven-
ing today and received close atten-
tion in both bodlos. Tho senate im-
mediately adjourned when tho reading
was finished..
The President's Message
To- tho Senate and House of Repre-
sentatives:
I have convened tho congress that
It may consider tho legislation noces-
sary to put Into operation tho com-
mercial treaty with Cuba which was
ratified by tlie senate at Its lost ses-
sion and subsequently by the Cuban
.government. I deem such legislation
domanded not only by our interosts
but by our honor. Wo can not with
propriety abandon tho course upon
which wo have so wisely ombarlcod.
Whon tho nccoptarcj of tho Piatt
amondmont was required from Cuba
by tho lotion of congress of tho Uni-
ted States this govornmout thoroby
definitely committed Itself to tho pol-
icy of treating Cuba as occupying a
unlquo position ns rogards this coun-
try. It was provided that whon tho
Island became a free and Independent
republic she should stand in such
closo relations with us as In certain
respects to como within our system
of international policy? and It neces
sarily followed that Bin roust also to a
certain degreo become Included within
tho lines of our economic policy. Sit-
uated1 as Cuba is It would not bo pos-
sible for this country to permit the
strategic abuso of tho plan by any
foreign military power. It Is for this
reason that cortaln limitations liavo
been Imposed upon her financial pol-
icy nnd that naval stations liavo beon
conceded by her to tho United Statos.
The negotiations as to tho details of
theso naval stations are on the ove
of' completion. They are so situated
as to prevent any idea that thero la
tho Intention over to uso them agaltfst
Cuba or othorwlso than for tho pro-
tection of Cuba from tho assaults of
foroign foes and for tho bettor safe-
guarding of Amorican interests in the
waters south of us.
Cuba Coyal to Obligations.
Theso interests ha;o beou largely
Increased by tho consequences of the
war with Spain and will Tie still fur-
thor Increased by the building ot the
isthmian canal. They aro both mili-
tary and economic. Tho granting to
us by Cuba of tho naval stations above
alluded to is of the utmost importance
from a military standpoint and a
proof of tho good faith with which
Cuba is treating us. Cuba has made
great progress slnco her Independence
was established. Sho has advanced
steadily In ovory way. She alroady
stands high among her sistor repub-
lics of tho now world. Sho Is loyally
obsorvlng hor obligations to us; and
she Ib entitled to like Treatment by ub.
Tho treaty submlttod to you for ap-
proval secured to the United States San Domingo Nov 10. Tho revolu-
economic advantages as great asjtloncry forcee attacked San Domingo
theso given to Cuba. Not an Ameri-' Friday night but no damage was done

a large Cuban market is secured to the surrender of the capital which
our producers. It Is a market which .was refused and hostilities were re-
lies at our doors which Ib already sumed.
large which Is capable of great oxpan- j .
sloiw and which is especially Import-
ant to the development of our export
trade. It would be Indeed short sight-
ed for ub to refuse to take advantage
of such t6 forco Cuba into making ar-
rangements with "other countries to
our disadvantage.
No Industry Harmed.
This reciprocity treaty stands by
itself. It Is demanded on considera-
tion of brood national policy as well
us by our ecpnomic Interest. It will
do harm to no Industry; It will bene
fit many Industries. It is in the in-
teres? ti 6ur?ebp!Q as awhole 1oth
Because of its Importance from the
broad standpoint of International pol-
ley and bocauso economically It In-
tlmatoly conoorns us to develop and
sccuro tho rich Cuban markot for our
farmers artisans merchants and man-
ufacturers. Finally it Is doslrablo as
a guaranty of tho good faith of our
nation towards her young sister re-
public to tho south whose wolfaro
must rather bo closoly bound with
ours. Wo gave hor liberty. Wo ore
Unit to her by tho memories of the
blood nnd tho courage of our soldiers
who fought for her In war by the
memories of tho wmdom and Integrity
of our administrators who saved hor
In pence and who started her so woll
on tho difficult path of Bolfgovorn-
mont. Wo must help lior onward' and
upward; and In holplng her we Bhall
holp ourselvos.
Tho forogoing considerations caus-
ed tho negotiation of the treat.-' with
Cuba and Its ratification by tho son-
ate. They now with oqual forco sup-
port the legislation by the cougrosH
which by torms of tho treaty Is uoces-
sary to render It operative A fniluro
to enact touch legislation would como
perilously near a repudiation of tho
pledged faith of tho nation.
I transmit herewith tho tronty as
amended by tho senate and ratified

Ripley Reviews
Oklahoma Guard
A copy of the repo.rt of Major Rip-
ley of the Hlghth United States cav-
alry at Fort Sill who attended the
encampment held here last month.
to the wnr department has been re-
colveJ by Governor Ferguson.
The report compliments several of
the companies mentioning In partic-
ular the liop!:al corns at Woodward
commanded by Captain Raoer. Some
of the companies according to the re-
port were not up on the drill but al-
lowance te made for lack of proper
equipment TIie report states that
the grounds where the last encamp-
ment was lield are too small to permit
for target praotlae and that tile sanl-
oC nianeuvors tlia(t thero it nb plaoe
tary'condltlons aro nob good. Ho sug-
gests that the nxt encampment be
held at Port Sill or Fort 'Reno
Where the militiamen would have
ample room for the maneuvers.
The reorganization of the militia
Into ono regular regiment Ib suggested
by Major Ripley having companies
A B. C and D In the first battalion
companies K F O bud II In the sec-
ond battalion and companies I K L
and M In the Uiird battalion. Accord-
ing to the report the guns ar not
well kept many of them being dusty
nnd dirty and that the belt buckles
about the uniforms were not polished.
The Oklahoma Guard as a whole eon-
ducted themselves as gentUmen he
aye.
