I　transmit　to　Congress　a　copy　of　correspondence　between　the　Secretary

of　State　and　her　Britannic　Majesty's　envoy　extraordinary　and　minister

plenipotentiary　accredited　to　this　government；　relative　to　the

exhibition　of　the　products　of　industry　of　all　nations；　which　is　to

take　place　at　London　in　the　course　of　next　year。　　As　citizens　of　the

United　States　may　justly　pride　themselves　upon　their　proficiency　in

industrial　arts；　it　is　desirable　that　they　should　have　proper

facilities　toward　taking　part　in　the　exhibition。　　With　this　view　I

recommend　such　legislation　by　Congress　at　this　session　as　may　be

deep　interest　in　the　preservation　and　development　of　the　fisheries

countries　such　measures　as　may　be　conducive　to　those　important

objects。　　With　this　view　I　transmit　to　Congress　a　copy　of　a

correspondence　between　the　Secretary　of　State　and　the　British

government；　the　appointment　of　a　joint　commission　to　inquire　into　the

matter；　in　order　that　such　ulterior　measures　may　be　adopted　as　may　be

advisable　for　the　objects　proposed。　Such　legislation　recommended　as
