noolty treaty wan the main topic It
ilttveloi that the old controversy be
tween nouse and senote over the Intro

that the treaty will again fall.

THE MESSAGE.
Waahlngton, Nov. lO.-At 10 o'clock
today the joint committee of the senate
and house called at the White House
to notify the president that congress
waa organized and ready to receive any
message he might have. After greeting
the members, the president Informed
them that he vould communicate with
congrea very soon In writing. The
message follows:
To the Senate and House of Represeu
tatlvea: .
I have convened the congress that It
may consider the legislation necessary
to put Into operation the commercial
treaty with Cuba, which waa ratified by
the senate at its last session and sub
sequently by the Cuban government. I
deem auch legislation demanded, not
only by our Interest, but by our honor
We cannot, with propriety, abandon the
course upon which we have ao wisely
embarked. When the acceptance of
the Piatt amendment was required
from Cuba by the action of the con
greaa of the United States, this govern
ment thereby definitely committed It
self to the policy of treating Cuba as
occupying a unique position as regards
this country.
It waa provided that when the Island
became a free and Independent repub
Ho she ahould stand in auch close re
lation with us aa In certain respects
to some within our system of Inter
national policy; and It necessarily fol
lowed that she must alao, to a certain
degree, become Included within the
lines of our economic policy.
Situated aa Cuba is, It would not be
wlae for this country to permit the
stratotrio abuse of the Island by any
foreign military powers. It la for thi
reason that certain limitation have
been Imposed upon her financial policy,
and that naval station have been con
ceded by her to the United States.- The
negotiations a to the details of these
naval stations are on the eve of com
pletion. They are eo situated a to
prevent any Idea that there is the in
tention ever to use them against Cuba,
or otherwise than for the protection
of Cuba from the assault of foreign
foe and for the better safeguard of
American Interests in the water south
of ua.
These interests' have been largely in
creased In consequence of the war with
Spain, and will be still further Increas
ed by the building of the Isthmian
canal. They are both military and
economic. , ,
The granting to ua by Cuba of the
naval stations, above alluded to, is of
the utmost Importance, from a military
standpoint, and Is proof of the good
faith wltli which Cuba is treating us.
Cuba haa made great progress since
her Independence was established. She
haa advanced steadily in every way.
She already atanda high among her
lister republic of the new world. She
I loyally observing her obligations to
ua; she 1 entitled to like treatment
by ua.
Tne treaty submitted to you for ap
proval secure to the United Statea
economic, advantage a great a those
given to Cuba. Not an American Inter
est Is sacrificed by the treaty, and a
latge Cuban market is secured t our
producers. It 1 a market which lie
our dors, which is already large,
which is capable of great expansion,
and which 1 especially Important to
the development of our export trade.
It would be, Indeed, shortsighted for us
V refuse to take advantage of such op
oortunitv and to force Cuba Into mak
ing arrangements with other countries
to our disadvantage. '
This reclDrocltr treaty stands by It
self. It Is not demanded In considera
tion of broad national policy as well
as by our economic interest. It will
do harm to no Industry, It will bene
fit many Industries. It to to the Inter
ests of th people as a whole, both from
Its Importwc from the broad siana
nolnt of International policy, and be
cause, economically, It Intimately con
cerns us to develop and secure we ncn
Cuban market for our farmers, arti
sans, merchants and manufacturers.
SMnaiiv. It la desirable as a guarantee
of the good faith of our nation towards
our young slater republic, wnose wel
fare must ever be closely bound with
ours. We gave ber iineny. w
knit to her by the memories of the
blood, and the courage of our soldiers
who fought for her In war: by the
memories of the wisdom and Interguy
of our administrators who saved her
In peace and who started ber so well
on the difficult path of self-govern
ment. We must help ber onward and
upward; and In helping her we shall
help ourselves.
The foregoing considerations causea
the negotiation of the treaty with Cuba
and Us ratification by the senate.
They now. with equal force, support the1
legislation by the congress which, by
the terms of the treaty. Is necessary to
render It Imperative, as failure to en
act such legislation would come peril
ously lear a repudiation or the pledgee
faith of the nation, ,' '
I transmit herewith the treaty, as
amended by the senate and ratified by
the Cuban government.
