become Chief of Engineer when the term
jf the Incumbent expiree. He made only
n brief reference to the dispute with
Greet Britain over the Panama Canal art .
ud said that when a formal protest waa
lodged against that art It would be taken
' up by the United State.
The army the President discussed at
some length. He praised the army leg-
islation of the last Congress but said
that provision should be made by law. so
that the Nation's foreign regiments may
be always maintained upon a war foot-
ing; and Tie urged the passage of the
pending military pay bill designed to
make serrlce in the militia more entic-
ing and showed that the home army will -be
nothing mere than a "skeleton" until
Congress provides that It be concentrated
la fewer posts than are now maintained.
He urged also the passage of another
bill "now' before Congress designed to
raise quickly a volunteer army In case
' President Taft did not approve the
proposal for immediate autonomy for the
Philippines and the Independence In eight
years as proposed In a bill pending in
Congress.
"In the Philippine Islands we hava
embarked upon an experiment unprece-
dented in dealing with dependent peo-
ples." aaid President Taft. "We are de-
veloping there conditions exclusively for
their own welfare. Through the unlfy-
. lug forces of a common education of
commercial and economic development
and of gradual participation In local self-
government we are endeavoring to evolve
a homogeneous people fit to determine
when the time arrives their own des-
tiny. Seeking National Spirit.
TWe are seeking to arouse a National
spirit and not as under the older colonial
theory to suppress such a spirit But
our work is far from done. Our duty to
the Filipinos Is far from discharged."
For educational sanitary wad political
. reasons the President said this country
should not consent to grant independ-
ence at this time.
' "If the task we have undertaken is
higher than that assumed by other Na-
tion" continued the President "its ac-
complishment must demand even more
patience. To confer independence upon
the Filipinos now. is therefore to sub-
Ject the great mass of their people to the
dominance of an oligarchial and prob-
ably exploiting minority. Such a course
will be as-cruel to those people as It
would be shameful to us."
In addition to bis advice in regard to
legislation and his opposition to pending
measures the President discussed the
prosperity of the Nation its financial
rendition and the proposed system of a
National budget showing proposed ex-
penditures and revenues; and called at-
tention to the balance In the general fund
of the treasury of almost $17v.O0000.
His remarks on the budget system he
said would be submitted to Congress
later accompanied by a model budget.
