1 renew the rm‘ouuueudation i made
in3Iuy last annual message for :(n In-
vcstigatiou by the department or con:-
Iucrce and labor of general labor condi-
tions, especial attention to be paid to
the conditions of child labor and child
labor legislation in the several states.
Such an investigation should take into
account the various problems with
which the question of child labor is
connected. In such a republic as ours
the one thing that we cannot afford to
neglect Is the problem of turning out
decent citizens. The future of the na-
tiou depends upon the citizenship of
the generations to come. The children
of today are those who tomorrow will
shape the. destiny of our land. and we
cannot afford to neglect them. The leg-
islature of t‘olorudo has recommended
that the national government provide
some general measure for the protec-
tion from abuse of children and dull”!
animals throughout: the United States.
I lay the (nutter before you for what. I
trust will be your favorable consider-

A- to Women Who Work.
The department of commerce and In-
bor should also make a thorough inves-
tigation ot‘ the conditions of women in
industry. ()rer 5.0005100 American wo.
men are now engaged in gainful occu-
pations, yet there is an almost complete
dearth of data upon which to base any
trustworthy conclusions as regards a
subject as important as It is vast and
complicated. The introduction of wo-
men into industry is working change
and disturbance in the domestic and
social life of the nation. The decrease
in marriage. and especially in the birth-
rate. has been coincident with it. We
must face accomplished facts. and the
adjustment to factory conditions must
be made, but surely it can be made
with less friction and less harmful ef-
fects on family life. than in now the
case. This whole matter III reality
forms one of the greatest sociological
phenomena of our time. it Is it social
question of the first importance. of far‘
greater importance than any merely po-
litical or economic attention can be.
in any great labor disturbance not
only are employer and employee Inter-
ested, but also a third party—the gen-
eral public. Every considerable labor
difficulty in which interstate commerce
is involved should be investigated by
the government and the facts officially
reported to the public.
Insurance.
The great insurance companies afford
striking examples of corporations
whose business has extended ((0 far
beyond the Jurisdiction of the states
which created them as to pIecludc
strict enforcement of supervision and
regulation by the parent states in my
lutmuuual message 1 recommended
“that the congress carefully consider
whether the power of the bureau of
corporations cannot constitutionally be
extended to cover interstate transac-
tions in insurance." Recent events
have emphasized the importance of an
early and exhaustiu consideration of
this question. to see whether it is not
possible to 'furnish better safeguards
than the scrotal states have been able
to furnish against corruption of the

Economy In Expenditures.
i earnestly recommend to the con-
gress the need of economy and. to this
end. of’a rigid scrutiny of appropria-
tions. .1" unnecessary offices should
be abolished. in the public printing
also a large saving of money can be
made; There is a constantly growing
tendency to publish (passes of unim—
portant information at which no human
being ever looks.
Yet. in speaking of economy. I must
in unwise be understatg as advocating
the false economy \le ,.I is in the end
the worst extravagance. To cut down
in the navy would be a crime against
the nation. To foil to push forward all
work on the Panama canal .would be
as great a folly.
Currency.
Every consideration of prudence de-
mands the addition of the element of
elasticity to our currency system. The
evil does not consist In an ltlndeci'uate
volume of money. .but in the rigidity
of this volume. which does not respond
as it should to the varying needs of
communities and of seasons. Inflation
must be avoided. but some provision
should be made that will insure a
larger volume of money during the fall
and winter months than In the less ac-
tive seasons of the year. so that. the
currency will contract against specula-
tion and will expand for the needs of
legitimate business. At present the
treasury department is at' irregularly
recurring intervals obliged In the inter-
est of the business world—that is. it:
the interests of the Americanpuhllo—
.to try to avert. financial crises by pro-
viding I remedy which should be pro—
vided by congressional action.

Monroe Doctrine.
There are certain essential points
which must never be forgotten as re-
gurus the Monroe doctrine. iii the first
place. we must as a nation make it ev-
Idcut. that ‘we do not lutend to treat it.
in any shape or way as an exruse for
oggraudiuement on our part at the ex-
pense 0f the republics to the south.
But we must make it evident that We
do not intend to permit the Monroe “0|“
triuc to be used by any nation on this
continent as (I stuck! to protect it from
the consequences of its own misdeeds
against foreign nations The Monroe
doctrine does not force us to interfere
to prevent the punishment. of a port
save to are that the punishment does
not assume the form of territorial occu-
pation in any shape. The case is more
difficult when it refers to a contractual
obligation. This country would cer-
taluly decline to go to w'a: topieieut it

a permanent occupation. The only ca-
cape from these alternatives may at
any time be that we must ourselves

ment by which so much as possible of
a just obligation shall be paid.
To do so insures the defaulting r-e
public from inning to pay debts of an
improper character under duiess. while
it also insures honest creditors of the
republic from being passed by in the
interest of disltbnoai or grasping cred-
liors. Moreover. for the llnlted States
to take such a position Offers the only
possible way of insuring as against a

duced the amount of agricultural prod-

'l'lieagrlcultural conditions of the Is-

the. argument in favor of reducing the
tariff on the products of the Philippine

earnestly recommend that the tariff

the products of the Philippine islands
be entirely removed. except the tariff
on sugar and tobacco. and that that
tariff be reduced to 25 per cent of the
present. rates under the Dingle'y hot:
