The Public Record
By virtue of the power vested in me by the provisions of Article 7 of the Treaty of September 30, 1854 (10 Stat. L. 1109), it is hereby ordered that the provisions of Article 7 of said treaty shall not hereafter apply to nor be of any force or effect throughout the territory ceded by said treaty to the United States except in that portion of said territory described as follows:
It is hereby ordered that Executive Order No. 1267, dated December 1, 1910, adding certain land to the Fort Mojave Indian Reservation be, and the same is hereby, canceled
it is hereby ordered that the following-described lands in Arizona, viz: Fractional secs. 4 and 6, secs. 8 and 16, fractional sec. 20, W. 1/2 of 22, SW. 1/4 of SW. 1/4 of 26 and fractional secs. 28 and 34, T. 16 N., R. 21, fractional sec. 12, T. 16 N., R. 22, fractional sec. 6, sec. 8, W. 1/2 of 16, fractional secs. 18 and 20, sec. 28, fractional 32 and W. 1/2 of 34, T. 17 N., R. 21, sec. 2, fractional secs. 4, 10, and 12, sec. 14, fractional 22 and 24, T. 17 N., R. 22, fractional W. 1/2 of sec. 18 and fractional sec. 30, T. 18 N., R. 21, fractional sec. 2, secs. 12, 14, 24, and 26, fractional secs. 28, 34, and 36, and all of secs. 10 and 22, not included within the present boundaries of the Fort Mojave Indian Reservation, T. 18 N., R. 22, and all of the S. 1/2 of sec. 34, not included within the present boundaries of the Fort Mojave Indian Reservation, T. 19 N., R. 22, all west of the Gila and Salt River meridian, be, and the same are hereby, withdrawn from settlement and entry and set apart as an addition to the present Fort Mojave Indian Reservation in Arizona, for the use and occupation of the Fort Mojave and such other Indians as the Secretary of the Interior may see fit to settle thereon: Provided, That nothing herein shall affect any existing valid rights of any person to the lands described
We have reached a stage in our own development that calls for a statesmanlike and broad view of our future economic status and its requirements.
This is not a violation of the protective principle, as that has been authoritatively announced by those who uphold it.
Ought we not, then, to arrange a commercial agreement with Canada, if we can, by which we shall have direct access to her great supply of natural products without an obstructing or prohibitory tariff?
I therefore earnestly hope that the measure will be promptly enacted into law.
By giving our people access to Canadian forests we shall reduce the consumption of our own.
I feel I have correctly interpreted the wish of the American people by expressing in the arrangement now submitted to Congress for its approval, their desire for a more intimate and cordial relationship with Canada.
The path having been thus opened for the improvement of commercial relations, a reciprocal trade agreement is the logical sequence of all that has been accomplished in disposing of matters of a diplomatic and controversial character.
