"We know you are traveling through the great Western country not alone to meet our people, but to find our needs and what can be done by the Federal Government to give us aid. Therefore It will not be Improper foi me to suggest some of our needs. 1 have read Jn- papers that you favor irrigation. We are pleased to know it. This gTeat State will find its brilliant future in irrigation.

The President said: "Mr. Mayor and men of San Francisco: This is the fifth time that 1 have had the honor and the pleasure of visiting your great, ci.y. And I am going to come again when I can. (Applause.) I have not had the privilege at any time of faying long. Put one of the great advantages of your city is that you do not have to stay long to like tit well.

(Applause.) There is something bo cosmopolitan, something so free and opon hearted in the way in which you tflkfi in nnup-htAr KrTinfViinCT' IRISH, JOHN P. bo confident on your; part that you hava something to give to us that we ought to linow and love arid feel grateful that Francisco lives, I come here money a.nd thus build up thCoast and the trade of our. State. we will have a government there In that territory by a commission which shall have legislative powers to attend to the domestic needs of that territory and recommend to Congress the development of and taJce advantage of the development that ought to be going on there. Congress, and I do' not hesitate to say it, has been derelict.

It has not done its duty with respect to Alaska, and it ought to do it now. I know there is a disposition to say that we ought to give them popular self-government. But I think that those of you who are familiar with the character of the settlements in that territory will agree with me that they have not reached the timo when that is the safest and best method of government for their real development. (Applause.) "It is easy to catch the applause of the crowd by saying, 'We are bound to self-government, and seTT-government is the best government Well, it Is under conditions favorable to lt But there aro times and conditions of a temporary character when it is not the best. And we ought to say so.

(Applause.) DATE OF CANAL OPENING. "Then we are building the Panama canal; we are digging I out of It 3,000,000 cubic yards a month. iWe shall certainly complete it by January' 1, 1915, (applause) and I am hoping, oh, so fervently, that it will be a considerable time before that, i China Is waking up. She is developing as she never has before. Her future Is bright with the prospects of increased activity in her industries and the development ofr her marvelous resources.

Her trade must grow under these i conditions, and her international relationship become more and more Japan 13 showing marvelous advance In her commercial strides, and she, as she does grow in her commercial success becomes valuable as a neighbor and a trader and a customer. "I am In favor of helping the prosperity of all countries. (Applause.) Because, when we are all prosperous the trade of each becomes more valuable to the other. "As has been said tonight, it is true that the future of the world for the next 50 or 100 years In progress lies In the Pacific ocean at your gates. (Great arplause.) The success of your community here a's a business community and a trading community is not going to be dependent entirely on whether you have a merchant marine or not.

We have got along in a wonderful way in increasing our international trade without any merchant marine at all. But that Is no argument and no reason for saying that we might not have made greater strides and might not have directed that trade much more intelligently had we had the ships that helped us to carry that trade to the foreign countries (Applause.) STIMULATED BY SUBSIDIES. "The trade between the eastern part of the United States and the eastern part i of South America Is a most valuable one, reaching nearly to i Of that sum $250,000,000 is between the United States and South America, We have wbrd from our consuls that, appreciating the importance of that trade, the European countries ars stimulating by subsidies and by other means an addition to the number of sailings of vessels from European ports' to South American ports, and that the addition is showing its effect upon the trade and moving more of it proportionately to Europe. "Now. we have got to do something.

We i have a protective system, in tho United States which encourages Industries and we are -able to maintain It because those industries are completely within our Jurisdiction. But when we enter into competition on the high seas we can only control our own ships; we cannot control the ships of other countries. Therefore we must adopt some other method than that which a pursue PACIFIC DEFENSE. VOLKMANN, D. G.

In his remarks Mayor Taylor said: "It seemed that the whole population of the city had turned out to do honor the President. The cheers were spontaneous. It warmed the bottom of his heart, as it did the hearts of all of us, to see the flag of our country so generously displayed, and those waving it doing so with willing hands.

"And now we wind up a red letter day in the history of San Francisco by this magnificent banquet magnificent truly In all its appointments." In conclusion the Mayor said: And now, gentlemen, let us drink th health of the President. I give you, gentlemen, William Howard Taft, the President." Every guest in the banquet hall stood up and drank to the Chief Magistrate of the nation. The band rendered the mean to say that they will see It as being to their advantage, as you will. that fhe, bond shall not ba broken, and that some sort of relation like that between Australia and England, or be- i a 1 1 Tl Well, If guarantee that the only attacks that "are coming will come ori this side we" will let you have the battleships. But I want to call attention to the fact that if in three or four or five years we have a Panama canal, that in itslf will double the efficiency of our navy, and that the difference between the east coast and' west coast will be far less in sailing distance than it ever was before.

The truth is, my Impression about the Panama canal is that the great revolution that it is going to, make In the trade of the world is 1 nthe trndii between the east and In the pockets of private individuals. As Tom Reed said, "That man is opposed to the statute because somebody might have a dollar and a half out of it." It is not true that we put that subsidy In his pocket to errfarge it. We put that subsidy in the pocket of a private individup.l or a private corporation to enable him or it to render to us a service that is, to give us a merchant marine, out of which, with the subsidy added, he shall be able to make only a reasonable profit. (Applause.) "Now, we make eight or nine millions of dollars out of our foreign malls, and tho proposition is to first experiment by using that profit to pay mail subsidies and establish lines by those sub-sidles between this coast and the Orient, South America. Let us try that.

Let us see how it works. If it gives us good lii.es, and 'those lines, by reason of the fart that they carry the American flat; and are put on for the purpose of encouraging American business, do encourage' that business, that will be a basis for further trial and further building up of an American merchant marine. (Applause.) If, on the other hand, that experiment proves to be a failure, the money that we have expended will be well spent in teaching that it was a failure. '(Applause.) flEFERS TO GILLETT. "Something hav been said about the conservation of resources and Governor1 Gillett oh, no, thrre Is another thing that I forgot about the governor.

He wants sixteen or eighteen with respect to the protection of our industries. What method is that? I don't know any that commends itself quite as much to me, "because it is pn a protective principle, as to furnish to those men who will engage In that trade enough money to equalize the difference that they encounter in their competition with foreign trade by reason of the gTeater expense of labor, the greater expensa of material and the greater cost incident to the stricter regulations that we Impose with respect to our sailors, and unless we also add an amount equal to the subsidies which ouri competing nations give to their own ships.
