It would be criminal in the United States, the first to apply to practical purposes the great power which has been brought into use, to permit others to avail themselves of our improvements while we stood listlessly and supinely by.

To the House of Representatives of the United States: I transmit to the House of Representatives a report from the Secretary of State, with documents, containing the information requested by their resolution of the 26th ultimo.
In compliance with the resolution of the Senate of the 31st January, I herewith transmit the accompanying letter* from the Secretary of the Navy.
