President Wilson in his second an- nual message persopally delivered to congress maintains the commendable habit of brevity. He puts what }f’ has to say in such form that it is not made tiresome by its length, when read or listened to. In outlining the program for the short session he has come directly to the point concerning ~arious questions of much importance and characteristic of his past inclina- tions has told congress just where he stands and what he expects it to do. Under the belie? that having been started they should be finished by 1his congress, he urges the passage of the two measures concerning the de- velopment of our natural resources, with proper safeguards, and the en- couragement of greater power devel- opment from the rivers of the country. Fxtraordinary efforts are urged in vjew of the extraordinary circum- stances which prevail. And for the same reason attention is directed to the necessity of congress meeting the opportunity furnished by new mar- kets through the entrance into gov- ernment ownership of steamships, even though “it may seem a reversal of the natural order of things” “The president also takes 2 firm stand in behalf of the bill for giving In- creased self government to the Phil- ippines, for a survey of the coast of Alaska as an ald to the development of that territory and the confirmation of the convention for safety at sea. Reserving for the last he wisely de- clares for government economy with- out shaping any direct policy for its attainment and declares that “we have imot been negligent of natfonal de- fense” as if in refutation of the claims belng advanced in behalf of an inves- tigation of our preparedness for war. ‘When in reference to our naval pol- icy he declaves “there iz no new need to discuss it” there is serious doubt whether such will be the view taken Iy eongress.
