What About Zelaya
Since the Washington comontions of
liiii were communicated to the govern
rnent of the Unite States as a consult
ing and advising perty this government
has been almost continuously called upon
ly one or another and in turn by all of
the live Central American IJepublics to
exert itself for the maintainaiice of the
o mment of Nicaragua which has lot
central America in constant tentil1 or
turmoil The r sp < nses inwl te the rep
rest ntutlon of Central American repub
lics as riiie from the United States on
account of its relation to tie Washing
ton conventions have been at all limos
conservative and have avoided so far as
possible any semblance of interference
although it is very apparent that the
considerations of geographic proxinity to
the Canal Zone and of the very substan
tial American interests in Central Amer
lea Rive to the United States a special
position In the zone of these Republics
and the Caribbean sea
I need not rehearse here tile patient
efforts of this government to promote
peace and welfare among these republics
efforts which are fully appreciated
by the majority of thim who are loyal
to their true interests It would be r
less unnecessary to rehearse here the s ui
talc of unspeakable barbarities and op
pression alleged to have bren committed
by the Zelaya government RecerJly two
Americans were put to death bv trder of
President Zelaya himself They are re
ported to have been regularly commis
sions olllcers In the organized forces of
a revolution which had continued many
weeks and was proceeding In un orderly
fashion in control of about half of the
republic and as such according to the
modern enlightened practice of civilized
nation they would be entitled to be dealt
with as prisoners of war
At tho dte when this message to
printed this government is proceeding
v I4h deliberate circumspection to determ
ine the exaiL trvij r r > tor to t
reports and upon the course In the premi
ses most consistent with its dignity itA
duy to American interests and its moral
obligations to Central America and to
clvlJlzationIn
In the Far East
Tn the far East this Kovernment pre
serves inncrmngetf its policy of supporting
the principle of ntallty of opportunity
and scrnpulous resT > oc for tho Integrity
of the Chinese empire to which policy are
plrtfged the inter < sted Powers of both
East and West By the Treaty of 1903
hiia has undo taken th abolition of
likin with a moderate arJ proportionate
raisins of the cuvtoms tariff along with
currency rfoTn These reforms being
of manifest advantage to foreign com
merce as well as to the Interests of China
this goernment is endeavoring to facili
tate these measures and the needful ac
quiesccnco of the treaty powers
Cordial With Japan
Our traditional relations with the Jap
an empire continue cordal as usual
As tho representative of Japan His im
perial HicThness Prince Kuni visited the
IIiid onPuiton celebration The recent
visit of a delegation of prominent business
men as guests of the chambers of com I
merce of the Pacific slope whose repre
sontativer Jiart b ° en so asreeablv received
in Japan will doubtless contribute to
the growing trade across the Paific as
w11 as to that mutual understanding
Which leads to mutiiil apprecfciton The
arrangement of 1905 for a cooperative
control or the coming of laborers to the
United States has proved to york satis
factorily Tle inafr of a rexJon of the
xistinn treat v elween the UniJeu States
and Japan wlich is terminable in 192
s already receiving the study of both
countries
Department of State
I earnestly recommend to the favorable
action of tho Congress the estimates sub
mitted fcy the departmnt of state and
most especially the legislation sug pested
in the secretary of states letter cf this
date whereby it will be possible to de I
velop and make permanent the reorgani
zation of the department upon modern
lines In a anner to make it a thorough
ly eificient instrument in the further
ance or our foreign trade and of American
interests abroad The plan to institute
I ii certan specialization in business with
Europe and the near Cast will at once
commend itself These poltcogeoTaph
cal divisions and the detail from the dip
lomatic or ccnsil service to the depart
ment of a number of men who bring to
the stu1 of corr p ated nrablems in
lifferent parts of the world practical
nowledge recently gained on the spot
Clearly is of the greatest advantage to
tio cretrv of stat in foreseeing con I
itions likely to arise and In conduct
ing the great variety of correspondence
and negotiation I
Under a provision Of the act of Aug 5
i9 I have app ntl three officials to
assist the otlict rs of the government in I
< Iletiiig information necessary to a wise
a < inistratiin of the arlft at of August I

porters wiiii the ilepaprtmnt of c em 1
mrco and labor in Hs relation to the
s 11
domestir aspevt of the subject of foreign I
tommene In the study of foreign tariff
treatment they will assist the bureau of
trade relations of the tlfpnprtment of
suite It Is tiojved thus to voordinat and
bring to hoar upon this nest important
subject i the agencies of the govern
ment w1 h can contribute anything to its
efficient handling
At a < onse iience of Section 2 of the
tariff act of Aug 5 1SK it becomes tie
duty of the secretary of state to conduct
as diplomatic business all the ncgotia
tiations necessary to ptacf im in a posl
lion to advise me as to wnether or not
a particular country unduly discrimi
nates against the United States In the
fense of the statute referred to The
great scope and complexity of this work
aa well as the obligation to lend all
proper aid to our expanding eommcrv
is met by tie evpansdon of the bureau of
trade relations as set forth in the esti
mates for the department of state
Expenditure and Revenues
Perhaps the moat important question
presented to this administration is that
of economy in expenditure and safllclem
of revenue The deficit of the lat fiscal
year and the certain def of t ie cur
rent rear prompts ConsriT to throw
a greater responsibility ei tie OxritiVc
and the se < etary of the treasury than
had heretofore lxen declared by statute
This declaration imposes uiKm the sec
retary of the treasury the duty of as
semblhg all he estimates of the execu
tive departments bureaus and offices of
the expenditures necessary in the ensu
ing fiscal year and of making an esti
mate of the revenues of the government
for the sarie period and if a pnibnbe
deficit is thus shown it is mide the
duty of the president to reeoimm nd tne
method by which such delicit cai be
met The report of the secretary shows that
the ordinary expenditures for the eurrnt
fiscal year ending June 30 lain will
exceed the estimated receipts by 3107
fiO If to this deficit is added the sum ti
be disbursed for the Panama Canal
amounting to JGS OOOiW and JlttH 9nO
to bt paid on the public debt the deficit
of ordinary receipts and expenditures will I
be Incrpaoq to a total d < si < It of 73075 I
620 This deficit the secretary proposes
to meet by the proceeds nf bonds issued I
to pay the cost of constructing the Pana
ma canal I approve this proposal
The icy of paying for the construc
tion of the Panama canal not out of
current revenues hut by bow issues was
adopted in the Spooner act of ItlZ and
there soems to be no good reason for de
parting from the principle by which a
part at leat of the burden of the cost j
of the canal shall fall upon our posterity
who are to enjoy It and there is all the
more reason for this view because the II
actual cost io date of the < anal which is
now half done and which will be com
pleted Jan 1 1913 shows that the cost
of engineering and construction will be
2 77660 < tO instead of JI37 52 w > as
originally estimated In addition to
engineering and construction the other
expenses including sanitation and gov
ernment and the amount paid for the
properties the franchise and the prlvil
esg of building the canal increase the
cojii by 75435rWO to a total of J3752t
JotIn
In order to svoid a deflit for the en
suing fiscal year I directed the heads of 1
tho departments in the preparation of I
their estimates tn make them as low as
pots > ibl consistent with Imperative gov
ernmental necessity The result has Ilttm
as I am advised by the secretary of the
treasury that the atimates of the cx
tenses of the government for the fiscal
Seftr ending June 30 1911 thnf 1 = f t >
neirt a less nv fi63OCO
u aii the total or appropriations for the
current fiscal ye r and less bv f94oooftno
than the estimates tor that year t o far
as the secretary of the trejsurv Is able
to form a judgment as to the future in
come and compare it with the expendi
ture for the next tis1 year nling June
i 1911 including the payments on nc
eount of the Panama canal and the plWic
debt there Will Ite no deficit in the year
ending June 30 1911 but a small urplus
of S712IX >
In the present estimates the needs of
the departments and of thr government
have beer cut to the quirk so to speak
and any assumption on the part of Con I
gress so often made In time past that
the estimates have locn prepared with
the expectation that they may bt leduC I
will result in seriously hampering proper I
aoministraticn
The secretary of the treasury points I
out what should be carefully noted In re
spect to this reduction in governmental
expenses for the next seal yeer that the
economics are of two kindsfirst there
Is tt saving in toe permanent administra
tion of the departments bureaus and
offices of the government and second
Ihtre Is a rrent rlut Ion in expenres
by a iostp neinent of projects and im
provements that ultimately will have to
be OArrieI out hut which are now de
layed with the hope that additional reve
nue In the future wij permit their exe
eution without producing a deficit
Od Ago Pensions
Most of the great industrii organza
tlons and many of the vUQooutl
Hiiwas of tin country art coming to
the < nncKisioii that a system of pensions
for old mplcyees and the substltuUon
thereof of vmnner anj more energetic
Servants promot s both evonorry and eifl
Clencv of administration
1 am aware that there Is a strong feel
Ing n hoth houses of Concress and pos
sibly in the country against the estab
Bshment of civil pensions and that this
has naturally grown out of the heavy
burden of military pensions which It has
always been the policy of our government
t < > assume but I am strongly convinced
that no other prrctiil sI ton of the
difficulties presented fr the superan
nuation of civil s rv ants can be found
than that of a cxsttm of civil pensions I

Uses of New Tariff Board
The new tariff law enables me t > > ap
point a tariff beard to assist rnS in on
tie 1 iln will lhe derartim Hj r late in
the administration of the mimimini um
inrixlmuii clause of the 31l < nd also to
assist offlcers of the government in the
administration of the entire Iw An I
examination of th law rnd an under I
standing of the nature of the facts wli < h
should be considered in discharging the
functions imposed upon the exemtve
show that I lave the power to diret the
tariff Itoard to make a comprehensive
gF ary and encyclopedia of the terms
u + d and articles embrac in tho tariff
law and to secure information as to the
cost of production of sin h goods In this
country and the < est of their production
In foreign co ntri = I have therefore
appointed a tariff hoard consisting of
three minb rs and have directed them to I
perform all the duties above described
This work will perhans take two or three
years and I ask from Congress a con
I tinuing annual appropriation ovial to that
already made for its prosecution
I believe that the work of this hoard
will be of prime utility and importance I
whenever Congress shall deem it wise
again to readjust tie cutom duties If
th facts secured by the tariff board arc I
of such a character as to show generally
that the rates of duties imposed by the
present tariT law are excessive under te
principles of protection AR described m I
the platform of the successful p at
the late election I shall not hrs f to
invite th attention of Congress li this
fact antl to the necessity for action predi
cated thereon Nothing however halts
business and interferes with the course of
prosi erlty so much as the threatened i
I revision of the tariff and until the facts
are at hand after careful and deliberate
investigation upon whi < h such revision
can properly be undertaken it seems t
me unwise to attempt it
The War Department I
In the interest of immediate economy
aid b vau = < 6 of the prospect i > f a deficit
I I have required a reduction ir the sti
mates of the war department lor the com
ing tisca year which brings the total
estimates down to an amount t fjOO O
le than the corresponding estimates for
last year This could only to > accom
plished by cutting off new projects and
suspending for the period of one year all
progress in military matters For the
same reajou I have directed that the
army shall not be recruited up to its
present authorized strength
The Navy Debt
The coast defenses of the United States
could bed
proper are generally all that
d sired and in some respects they are
rather more laborate than under present I
conditions are metled to stop an enemys
fleet front etiterlng the harbors defended
There IF howvei one place wlcre ad
ditional defense Is Ixidly needed a1d that
is at the mouth of Chesapeake bay where
it Is proposed to make an artificial island
for a fort which shall prevent an nemys I
fleet from entering this most important
strategic base of operations on the
whole At ntic and Gulf coasts I hop
that appropriate l > isati < i will be adopt
ed to secure the construction of this
defense
The Navy
The return of the battleship ftnt from
its voyage al und the w rM in more
efilMint condition than when it started
was a noteworthy event of interest alike
to our cltizms and the naval authorities j
of tiie world B sides the beneficial and
farreaching effect on our personal and I
diplomatic relation in the countries i
i whl h the fleet visited the marked she
oit of the shIps In steaming anuind the I
I w > rH in pll Heathers on htMiIe time
has increased respect for our nny and
his aliled lo our national prestige I
Owing to the necessity f or economy iri
expenditures I hart dire ted the curtail
ment of recommindatlons for lI val ap
propriations so that 1hy are JSSWKOOI
less than the corresponding estimate of
last year and the request for new naval
construction is limited to two firstclass
battleships and one repair vessel The I
use of a tiay is for military purposes
ard there has been ounJ need in the
department of a military bian h dealing I
I 3lr < tly wth the military use of the fleet j
The Totary of the navy rtas also felt I
the lack of responsible advisers to aid
lilm in reaching conclusions and de < ilirg
important matters between tooidinate
brancht of the department Tc sTure
these results he has inaugurated n ten
tative plan involving certain changes in
the organization of the nvy department
ln < Inkling the nay yards all nt which
have been found by the Kltrrneyponferal
to be in accordance with law I have
approved the execution f the plan pro

Injunctions Without Notice

ingThe Republican party will uphold at
all times thO authority and Integrity nt
