Sir: I have the honor to inclose herewith
translation of a note received from the Italian ambassador in this city
under date of the 7th instant, relative to the international expositions
to be held at Rome and Turin in the year 1911 in commemoration of the
fiftieth anniversary of the proclamation of the Kingdom of Italy.
I have the honor to request that appropriate mention be made of the
proposed expositions in the Daily Consular Reports.
I have, etc.,
[S. Doc. No. 321, 61st Cong., 2d

The President to
Congress.
[Message.]
To the Senate and House of
Representatives:
I transmit herewith a report1 by the Secretary of State setting out reasons
why the invitation extended by the Government of Italy to that of
the United States to participate in two international expositions
which, in commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Kingdom
of Italy, will be held at Rome and Turin, respectively, in 1911,
should be accepted and provision made by Congress to enable the
United States fittingly to take part in the expositions.
Deeming international expositions of the comprehensive character of
those it is intended to hold in Italy next year to be instructive
agencies of the industrial development of the world and important
instrumentalities in the advancement of trade relations, I give my
cordial approval to the recommendation made by the Secretary of
State and urge upon Congress timely provision in accordance
therewith.
Wm. H. Taft.
