President Seeks Trade Reform and Rail Regulation
The President urges Congress to act on Oriental trade and to authorize a commission to study it. He supports stronger navy construction and argues for federal supervision of railroads to ensure fair treatment for small shippers and the public, warning against undue hostility to industry. Public ownership is rejected in favor of regulated private operation.
