President's Message.
To the Senate and House of Representatives:
1 have convened the congress
that it may consider the legislation
necessary to put Into operation
the commercial treaty with Cuba
which was ratified by the senate at its
laat session and subsequently by the
Chiban government. I deem such
legislation demanded not only by our
Interest but by our honor. We cannot.
with propriety, abandon the course
Upon which we have so wisely embarked.
When the acceptance of the
Piatt amendment was required jironi
Ouba by the action of congress bf the
tJnlted States, this government thereby
definitely committed' itself to the
policy of treating Cuba as occupying
a unique position as regards this country.
It was provided that when the
teland became a free and independent
republic she should stand in such close
relations with us as in certain respects
to come within our system of international
policy; and It necessarily followed
that she must also to a certain
degree become Included within
the lines of our economic policy.
Situated, as Cuba is, it. would not
b* poeslble for this country to pern
the strategic abuse of the plan by any
foreign military power. It Is for t
reason that certain limitations have
K*an ImnnaA/i nnnn hoe fine noiol
arvl that naval stations have been conceded
by her to the United States.
Tiia negotiations as to the details of
these naval stations are on\the eve of
completion. They are so situated as
to prevent any idea that there is the
Intention ever to use them against
Cuba or otherwise than for the protection
of Cuba from the assaults of
foreign foes, and for the better safeguarding
of American interests in the
waters south of us.
Theae interests have largely increased
by the consequences of the war
w?lt1i Spain and will be further increased
by the building of the isthmian
carval. They are both military
and economic. The granting to us
by Cuba of the naval stations above
11ude<f to is of the utmost lmj>ortan^e
from a military standpoint and is rt
proof of the good faith with which Cuba
la treating us. Cuba has made
craat nrofirrcsn ulm? hor
was established. She has advanced
steadily in every way. She already
stand* high among her eister repub
lies of the ne^ world. She is loyal
ly observing hef obligations to us;
and she la entitled to like {treatment
by us.
The treaty su^hlUed to ydu for ap\P
.
- *t
proval secures to the United State* #
economic advantages aa great as those J
given to Cuba. Not an American Interest
is sacrificed. By the treaty a
large Cuban market la secured to our
producers. It is a market which lies
at our doors, which is already large, _
vrlUch is capable of great expansion *
ajjd which it is especially important
to the development or our export
trade. It would be Indeed shortsighted
for us to refuse to take ad- ^
vantage of such opportunity and to
force Cuba into making arrangements ^
with other countries to our disadvantage.
Thi6 reciprocity treaty stands by itself.
It is demanded on cojvsideration
of broad national policy as well as by
our economic interest. It will do 8
harm to no industry. It will benefit a
manv industries it in ti>?
I est of our people as a whole, both bep
( oause of its importance from the broad tl
standpoint of international policy and i
because of economically it intimately
concerns us to develop and secure the
rioh Cuban market for our farmers,
artisans, merchants and manufacturers.
Finally, it is desirable as a
guaranty of good faith of our nation g
towards her sister republic to the
south, whose welfare must ever be o
closely bound with ours. We gave
her liberty. We are knit to her by t<
the nvemorie.s of blood and tho nnur. n
age of 01.P a^'iers who fought fo# a
her In vj ^-fe^lhe memories pf-the v
wisdom egrity of our admini- a
Ptrators vuW- saved her in peace and f
who stai^^ier so well on tho difTloun fi
paM^^^fielf-government. We mfust h
onward and upward, and in 7
l^Klping her we shall help ourselves. ti
I The foregoing considerations caused e
the negotiation of the treaty with Cu- a
ba, and ratification by tho senate, fi
They now, with equal force, support tl
the legislation by the congress which,
by the terms of the treaty, Jis necos- n
s.ary to ronder it operative. A fall- It
lire to enact, such legislation would
come perilously near a repudiation of G
the pledged faith of the nation. tl
I transmit herewith tho treaty as c<
amended by the senate and ratified by nn
the Cuban government. (Signed) The- tv
odore Roosevelt, White House, Nov.
