The law creates two new officers, whose aggregate compensation may be $12,000 per annum, without, it seems to me, a justifying necessity.
I herewith transmit, for the information of Congress, a communication from the Acting Secretary of State, forwarding certain bulletins of the Bureau of the American Republics.
The law should at least have contained a provision for the continued discharge of their duties by the incumbents until the new officers were appointed and qualified.
I believe we have reached an epoch in our development when we may successfully begin the work of carrying our share of the world's commerce upon the seas.
