I. President Taft submitted to congress today the first of imnl EMM- tt was devoted to our foreign relatione and In part area aa follow! : Tn tha Renata and House of Repre- ewtattves: , Tha foreign relations ot Ota United Stataa actually and poten h1t aifaet tha state of tha Union to a degraa not widely reallaed and hard ly surpassed by any other factor m tha welfare of tha whole nation, Tha position of tha United States in tha moral. Intellectual, and material rela tions of tha family of nations snouia ha a tntUnr of Tital Interest to every patriotic cltisen. Tha national proa parity and powar Impose upon as du ties which wa can not shirk If we are to be true to out ideals. Tha tremen dous growth of the export trade ot the TTnitad statea has already made that trade a very real factor In the indus trial and commercial prosperity or me country. With the development of our Industries tha foreign commerce of the United States must rapidly be- aoma a still more .essential factor in its eeonomlo walfara. Whether we have a far-seeing and wise diplomacy and axa not recklessly plunged Into unneeeeary wars, and whether our for eign policies are based upon an intel ligent grasp of present-day world con ditions and a clear view of the poten tialities of tha future; or are governed by a temporary ana timid expeaiency or by narrow views befitting an In fant nation, am Questions in tha al ternative consideration of which must convince any thoughtful cltisen that ni danertmnnt of national DolltV Of fers greater opportunity for promoting the interests or tne wnoie peopie on the one hand, or greater chance on the other of permanent national In Jury, than that which deals with the fnralm relations of the United States. The fundamental foreign policies of the United States should be raised high above the conflict of partisan shin and wholly dissociated from dif ferences as to domestlo policy. In its foreign affairs the United States kMiM in fin t tn tha world a nnlted front . The Intellectual, financial and Industrial interests of the country and the publicist, the wage earner, the farmer, and cltisen of whatever occu natlon must eo-o Derate in a SDlrlt of high patriotism to promote that na tional solidarity which Is indispensable to national efficiency and to tha at tainment of national Ideals. The relations of the United States With all foreign powers remain upon sound basis of peace. Harmony ana rriandahln. i A sreater insistence upon Justice to American citizens or inter acts wherever It may have been de nied and a stronger emphasis of the ail of mutuality in commercial and other relations have only served to strengthen our friendships with ior an osmntrlna hv niacins those friend ships upon a firm foundation of reall- rlea aa well as aspirations. Reorganization of the State Depart ment. - at tha bas-tnnlns: of the present ad ministration the United States, having . fully entered upon its position as a world nower. with the responsibilities thrust upon It by the results of the Snaninh-American war. and already en gaged In laying the groundwork ot a vast foralen trade upon which It ahould one day become more and more dependent, found Itself without the machinery for giving thorough, at tention to, and taking effective action upon, a mass of intricate business vital to American interests in every country In the world. Tha denartment of state was an arnhain and Inadeauate machine lack ing most of the attributes of the for 4m nflina of anv sreat modern nower. With an appropriation made upon my recommendation by the congress on snmat E. 1909. the department of fata was eomnletelv reorganised. Thara vara created divisions Of Latln- American affairs and of far eastern. naar eastern, and western European affairs. To these divisions were called from the , foreign service diplomatic ami mnauiar officers Dossesslng expe rience and knowledge gained by act ual service In different parts or we world and thus familiar with political . and Kommerclal conditions In the re gions concerned. The work was hlgh- l- analalld. The result is that where j previously ; this government mm time tn time would emphasize in Its foreign relations one or another niiio now American interests In ev ery quarter of tha globe are being cultivated with eoual assiduity. Merit Syatem In Consular and Dlplo- , mctio liorps. Kxnart 'knowledge and professional training must evidently be the essence of this reorganisation. I Without a trained foreign service there would not be men available tor the work In the reorganised department of state. President Cleveland has taken tha first atan toward introducing , tne merit system in the foreign service. That had been followed by the appli cation of the merit principle, with ex cellent results, to the entire consular hranrh. Almoat nothine-. however, had been done in this direction with regard to the diplomatic service, in tnis age nf commercial dtnlomacv It Was evi dently of the first Importance to train an adequate personnel in tnai orancn of the service. Therefore, on Novem ber 2s, 1909, by an executive order I Disced tha diplomatic servioe UP to the grade of secretary of embassy, in- elnarra. noon exactly tha Same' Strict non-partisan basis of the merit sys tem, rigid examination tor appoint ment and nrn motion only for effi ciency, aa had been maintained without exception in the consular service. Successful Efforts In Promotion of Tn the Held of work toward the idaaia of neaoa this rovernmcnt ne gotiated, but to ny regret was untble to consummate, two arbitration trea ties which set tha hichest mark of the aspiration ot nations toward the substitution of arbitration and reason for war In the settlement of Interna tional disputes. Through the efforts of American diplomacy several wars hava haen nrevented or ended. I re- far to tha successful tripartite medi ation of the Argentine republic, Bra- sU, and the United Statea between Peru and Ecuador: the bringing of the boundary dispute between Panama and Costa Rica to peaceful arbitra tion: tha atavtna of warlike prepara tions when Haytl and the Dominican republio were on the verge or nosuu ties; the stopping of a war in Nicarag ua halting of Internecine strue In Honduras.. The government of the United Statea was thanked for its in fluence toward the restoration of amlo- able relations between the Argentine republio and Bolivia. The diplomacy of the United States la active In seek lng to assuage the remaining ill-feel ing between this country ana tne Re public ot Colombia,' In the recent Civ il war in China the United States suc cessfully joined with the other inter ested nowers In urging an early cas eation of hostilities. An agreement has been reached between the govern ments of Chile and Peru wnereDy me i1.kr Tai-na-Artca dlsnute. whldl has so long embittered international relations on the west coaat ox Boutn America, has at last been adjusted. Simultaneously came the news that tha boundary dispute between Para and Ecuador had entered upon a stage nf amicable settlement The position of the United States In referenoe to the Tacna-Arica dispute between rhila and Peru has been one of non intervention, but one of friendly In fluence and pacific counsel througnout the neriod during which the dispute In question has been the subject ot Interchange or views oeiween wis government and the two governments immediately concerned. China. In China the policy of encouraging financial investment to enable that country to help Itself has had the re sult ot giving new life ana practical annitcation to the open-door policy. The consistent purpose of the present administration baa been to encourage n naa of American capital in the development of China by the promo tion of those essential rerorme to which China la pledged by treaties with tha TTntted States and other pow. am . The hypothecation to foreign h.nkara in connection with certain In dustrial enterprises, sucn as me nucu ang railways, of the national reven ues upon which these reforms depend ed lad the denartment of state early in the administration to demand for American cltlsens participation in such enterprises, In order that the United States might have equal rights and an equal voice in an questions nartainins to the disposition of the kii nvannna concerned. " The same uuumv w v .. .. .. M.t 1 .a policy Of promoting internauoua. ar .mnna- the sowers having similar treaty rights as ourselves In the mat ters of reform, ' which could not be put Into practical effect witnout me consent of all. was likewise adopted In the case of the loan de sired by China for tne reiorm oi urn currency Central America Needa Our Help In tn r.nntral America the aim has haan to heln such countries aa Nice- and Honduras to neio mom- a.iva , Thav are tne immediate Bene ficiaries. The national benefit to the TTnitad States Is two-fold. First, It Is obvious that the Monroe Qoctrins is vital In the neighborhood oi tne Da nma canal and the sone of the Caribbean! than anywhere else. There, too. the maintenance or tnat aoctnno .iia nunt naayiiv unom ue uutuni States. It Is therefore essential mat the countries within that sphere snau be removed from the Jeopardy involv ed by heavy foreign debt and chaotic national finances and from the ever present danger of International com- Dlicationa due to disorder at home. Hence the United States has been alad tin aneoursTa and annnort Amer ican bankers who were willing to lend a helping hand to the flnanciaT re habilitation of such eoutriea because this financial rehabilitation and the protection of their custom houses from being the prey of would-be dictator would remove at one stroke the aos of foreign creditors and tha men- anoa of revolutionary disorder, Tha second advantage to the U nit- ad States la one affectina Chiefly all the southern and gulf porta and the business and mdustrrM.px.tne sou in. The renubllca of -Central America and the Caribbean possess great natural wealth. They need omy a measure oi stability and the means of financial regeneration to enter upon an era of peace and prosperity, bringing prom and happiness to themselves and at the same time creating conditions sure to lead to a flourishing In terchange of trade with this country. I wish to call your especial attention to the recent occurrences In Nlca- ramav for 1 heHave the terrible events reoorded there durlna- the revolution of the past summer the useless loss of life, the devastation or property, the bombardment of defenseless cities, the killing and wounding of woman and children, the torturing oi non combatants to exact contributions. and tha au Sarins- of thousands of hu man beings might have been avert ed had tha deDartment oi state, thmnirh annroval of the loan conven tion by the senate, been permitted to carry out Its now weu-aeveiopea poucj nf anonurai-lns' the extending of fi nancial aM to weak Central American states with tha orimary objects oi avoiding Jcct such revolutions by as sisting those republics to renaoiu tate their finances, to establish-their currency on a stable basis, to remove tha enatom houaea from the danger of revolutions by arranging tor their secure administration, ana to eaiaD- liah reliable banka. - . . Agricultural Credits." a moat Important work, aecom- niiahed In tha caat year by the Ameri can diplomatic officers In Europe, Is the ln-raatl ration of Ute agricultural credit system In the European coun tries. Both as a means to anora reuei to the consumers ot this country through a more thorough develop ment of aarleultural resources and aa a means ot more sufficiently maintain ing the agricultural population, tne nrolect to establish credit facilities tor the farmers Is a concern of vital Im portance to this nation. No evidence of nroenerttv among well-established farmers should blind us to tne tact that lack ot capital Is preventing a development of the nation's agricul tural resources and an adequate in crease ot the land under cultivation; that agricultural production Is fast faillna behind the Increase In popula tion; and that. In fact, although these well-established farmers are main tained in lncreaalng prosperity be cause of the natural Increase in popu lation, we are not developing tne in- rinatrv of arriculturs. Tha need of canltal wuon American fanners feel today had been experi enced by the farmers of Europe, with a. Tha M-ohlem had been aucceas- thetr centurlesold farms, many years fully solved in the old worm ana n waa evident that the farmers of this country might profit by a study of their systems. I thereiore oj-aereo, thmnirh the denartment of state, an investigation to be made by the diplo matic officers in Europe, ana 1 nave laid the results of this Investigation before the eovernors of the various states with the hope that they will ha need to advantage in tnew rortn- comlng meeting. Inerecse of Foreign Trade, Tn mv last annual message I said that tha flaeal year ended June SO, 1911, was noteworthy as marking the highest record of exports oi American nmiiimta tn foreisii countries. . The fiscal year 1911 shows that this rata ot advance has been maintainea, tne iininuHn axnorta ha rtns s valu ation approximately of $1400,000,000. compared , witn a i itaouon out (1,000,000,000 the previous year., It ia .iu ahmiflnant thai, manufactured and partly manufactured articles con tinue to be the chief eonunoaities zorm- ifi the vninme of our augmantsd ex ports, tha denands ot our own people for consumption requiring tnai an in creasing proportion of our abundant aalanltliral nmdnCta he kODt at hOlttO, In the fiscal year 1911 the exports of articles In the various stages ot mao- ..--.. iml tnnlndlna- foodstuffs Part ly or wholly tnanutactured, amounted approximately to iot,dw,ou. u m aaai MF is11 the total was nearly $1,011,000,000, a gain ot fU4J)00,0OO. Advantage of Maximum ana mini mum Tariff Provision. Tha Imnortanoe which OUT manufaO- tures have assumed In the commerce of the world In competition with tne .nnavtiim of other countries again draws attention to the duty of this government to use its utmost endeav ors to secure Impartial treatment for American products In ail markets. Healthy commercial rivalry in inter national Intercourse Is best assured by the possession of proper for protecting and promoting our foreign trade. It is natural tnai competitive countries should view with some - concern this steady expansion of our commerce. If In anma Inatannaa tha manure taken by them to meet it are sot entirely equi table, s remedy should.be rouno. ia former messages I have aescnoea negotiations ot tha department of state with foreign governments for the adjustment of the maximum ana aue lmum tariff as provided In section t of the tariff law of 1909. The advan tages secured by the adjustment of nur trade Miatlnna under' this " law have continued during the last year. and some additional cases or aisenm lnatory treatment of which ws bad reason to complain have been re moved. The department of stats naa tor the first Urns In the history of this country obtained substantial most-favored-nation treatment from all the countries of the world. There ra however, other instances which. while apparently not constituting un due discrimination In the sense ox aartfnn 1 are nevertheless SZCeDtionS to the complete equity ot tariff tree ment for American nroducts inax us department ot state consistently has sought to obtain for American com merce abroad. Necessity for Supplementary Lelosla- lation. Theae develonmenta confirm the opinion conveyed to you In my annual message of 1911, that while the max imum and minimum provision ot the tariff law ot 1909 baa been fully Jus tified by the success achieved In re moving previously existing undue dis criminations against American prod ucts, yet. experience naa snown tnai thla feature of the law should be amended In such way as to prevent a fully effective means of meeting the varying degrees ot discriminatory treatment of American commerce In foreign countries still encountered, as well as to nrotect acalnst Injurious treatment on the part ot foreign gov ernments throuch either leslslatlvt of administrative measures the finan cial Interests abroad of American clt-, Isens whose enterprises enlarge tha market for American commodiueea. - I can not too stronsly recommend to congress the passage of some such enabling measure aa tne bin wmcn waa recommended hv the'1 secretary of state In his letter of December 18, 1911. The object of the proposed leg islation Is. in brief, to en able the executive to apply, as the case may require, to any or all commodities, whether or not on the free list from a country Which discriminates against the United States, a graduated scale of duties tin to the maximum of 15 oar cent, ad valorem provided In the present law. Flat tariffs are out or oat. j . i The measaa-a told what tha govern ment has done In connection with tht Balkan war and In placing the gov ernment of Liberia In position to pa) Its debts. The new condition of af fairs in China waa set forth, and then our relations with Central and Rnnth American covernmenta were set forth in more detail. It concluded as follows: ' r. C!nn areas ahould fully realise " tha conditions which obtain In the world as we find ourselves at the threshold ot our middle age as a nation. We tta amerc-nd fall crown ss a peer In the great concourse of nations, we have passed through various torma tia nnriods. We have been self-cen tered In the struggle to develop our domestic resources ana aeai witn oui rfnanaatln nunstionB. The SStlOn ' IS now too mature to continue In Its for eign relations those temporary expe dients natural to a people to wnom oo mestlo affairs are the sole concern. In the past our diplomacy baa orten consisted, in normal times, In a mere assertion of the right to international existence.- We are now In a larger relation with broader rights or our .-an. and nhllcationS tO OthCrS thM ourselves.- A number ot great guid ing principles were laid down eariy in the history of thla government. The recent task of our diplomacy baa been to adjust those 'principles to tne con ditions of today, to develop their carol a a., m-aotical ennllcatlona ot the old principles expanded to meet new ; situations. Thus ; are being .ni.a him noon which can 'rest the superstructure of policies which must grow with tne aesunea p' thia nation. . The successful con duct of our foreign relations demands S broad and s modern view, we obb not meet new questions nor build for th. antura if we conflss ourselves to Anwmmm of the DSSt Slid tO the perspective appropriate a tw mergence front colonial times and conditions. The opening of the Pana ma canal will mark a new sxa m oui international life and create new and world-wide : conditions which, with their vast correlations and conss qucBces, will obtain for hundreds of years to coma. We must not wait for rents to overtake us unawares.. With continuity of purpose we must aeai with the problems of our external re lations by a diplomacy modern, re sourceful, magnanimous, ana nuwgir expressive of the high Ideals or great nation.

The Impression Is strong among public men here that the leg islature that Is to convene tn Janu ary will have about Its hardest fight over the passage of a state, primary law that, will bo binding for ell po Utlcal parties.
