PRESIDENT National Preparedness Main Theme of Head of Nation. Submits Definite Plan to In crease Present Standing Force of Regulars and For Four Hun dred Thousand Citizen Soldiers Raised In Increments of One Hundred and Thirty-thrte Thousand. FOLLOWING IS the message of President Wilsou delivered at a joint sessiou of the senate and bouse at the beginning of the Sixty-fourth congress; Gentlemen of the Congress— Since 1 last had the privilege of addressing you on the state of the Union the wai of nations on the other side of the sea, whi< b had then only begun to disclose its portentous proportions, has extend od its threatening and sinister scope until it has swept within its tiauie ; some portion of every quarter of the globe, uot exceptiug our own berni sphere, has uttered the whole face of , international affairs, and now presents a prospect of reorganization and re construction such us statesmen and peoples have never been called upon to uttempt before. The president tells how this country practiced neutrality and declares that be ho|es that when the time comes for readjustment and recuperation this country will be of infinite service, de ferring to Central and South American problems, the president declares that we should retain unabated the spirit which has inspired us throughout the whole life of our government and which was so frankly put into words jy President Monroe. We have been put to the test in the ; .*ase of Mexico, and we have stood the .est. Whether we have benefited Mex ico by the course we have pursued re mains to he seen. Her fortunes are In her own hands But we have at least proved that we will not take advau rage of her in her distress and under take to impose upon her an order and government of our own choosing. Lib erty is often a tierce and intractable thing, to which no bounds can be set and to which no bounds of a few men's choosing ought ever to be set. Every American who has drunk at the true fountains of principle and tra dition must subscribe without reserva tion to the high doctrine of the Vir | ginia hill of rights, which in the great days in which our government was set up was everywhere among us accept ed as fhe creed of free men. That doc trine Is. "That government is or ought to he instituted for the common bene fit. protection and security of the peo ple. nation or community;" that "of nil the various modes aud forms of government, that is the best which is I capable of producing the greatest de , gree of happiness and safety and is most effectually secured against the danger of maladministration, aud that when any government shall be found inadequate or contrary to these pur {Rises a majority of the community hath an indubitable, inalienable and ' indefeasible right to reform, alter or abolish it in such manner as shall be judged most conducive to the public weal." We have unhesitatingly ap plied that heroic principle to the case of Mexico and now hopefully await the rebirth of the troubled republic, which had so much of which to purge itself and so little sympathy from any outside quarter in the radical but nec essary process We will aid and be friend Mexico, but we will not coerce her. and our course with regard to her ought to be sufficient proof to all Amer ica that we seek no political suzerainty or selfish control. PAN-AMERICANISM HAS NONE OF EMPIRE'S SPIRIT. Economic Adjustments Inevitable With in the Next Generation. The mural ts that the stales of Atner ica are uot hostile rivals, but co-op crating friends, and tbai tbeir grow ing sense w community of interest, alike in matters political and in mat ters econourc. is likely to give tbern a new significance as factors in interna tioual affairs and in the political his lory of the world. It presents them a-* in a very deep and true sense a unit in world affairs, spiritual partners standing together because thinking to get her. quick with common sympathies and commou ideals. Separated. tbe.\ are subject to all the cross currents ot riie confused politics of a world of bos tile rivalries: united in spirit and pur pose, they cannot be disappointed 01 their peaceful destiny This is pan-Americanism. It has none of the spirit of empire in it. It is the embodiment, the effectual embodiment, of the spirit of law and independence and liberty and mutual service The president calls attention to the meeting in Washington recently of representatives of the pan-American republics and says that economic ad justment is inevitable in the next gen erafion. No one who real)? comprehend* the spirit of the rrent people for whom we are appointed to speak can fail to per ceive that their passion la for peace their renins >est displayed In the prnc tloe of the :v*s of peace. Great demoe nicies a r e n-t telMTPrent Thov do not or desire tv.-ir The'r thought i wjK H Photo by American Press Association PRESIDENT WILSON'S LATEST PICTURE. (From snapshot taken on Nov. 26.) of individual liberty and of the free labor that supports life and the un censored thought that quickens It. Conquest and dominion are uot In our reckoning or agreeable to our princi ples. But just liecause we demand un molested development and the undis turbed government of our own lives upon our own principles of right and liberty, we resent, from whatever quarter It may come, the aggression wc ourselves will uot practice. We insist upon security in prosecuting our self chosen lines of uational development. We do more than that. We demand it also for others. We do not confine our enthusiasm for individual liberty and free national development to the luci dents and movements of affairs which affect only ourselves. We feel it wber ever there Is a people that tries to walk in these difficult paths of independence and right. From the first we have made common cause with all partisans of liberty on this side the sea aud have deemed it as important that our neigh bors should be free from all outside domination as that we ourselves should be; have set America aside as a whole for the uses of independent nations and political freemen. Out of such thoughts grow all our policies. We regard war merely as a means of asserting the rights of a peo pie against aggression. And we are as fiercely Jealous of coercive or dicta torial power within our own nation as of aggression from without. We will not maintaiu a standing army ex cept for uses which are as necessary in times of peace as in times of war. SUGGESTS BROAD PLAN FOR NATIONAL DEFENSE. Increase Standing Regular Force—Four Hundred Thousand Citizen Soldiers. But war has never been u mere mat ter of men uud guns. It is u thing of disciplined might. If our citizen* are ever to fight effectively upon a sudden summons, they must know how modem fighting is done, and what to do when the summons comes to render themselves immediately avail able and immediately effective. And the government must be their servant in this matter, must supply them with the training they need to take care or themselves and of it. The military arm of their government, which they will not allow to direct them, they may properly use to serve them and make their independence secure, and not their own independence merely.- hut the rights also of those with whom they have made common cause, should they also he put in jeopardy. They must lie fitted to play the great role in the world, and particularly in this hemisphere, for which they are quali tied ly principle and by chastened am hition to play. It is with these ideals in mind that the plans of the department of war for more adequate national defense were conceived which will be laid before you. and which I urge you to sanction and put into effect as soon as they can be properly scrutinized and discussed They seem to me the essential first steps, and they seem to me for the present sufficient. They contemplate an Increase of thi •tending force of the regular army from Its present strength of .1.023 offi cers and 102.081 enlisted men of all aerviees to a strength of 7.136 officers and 134.707 enlisted men. or 141.843 all told, all services, rank and file, by the addition of fifty-two companies of coast artillery, fifteen companies of en gineers. ten regiments of Infantry, four regiments of field artillery and four aero squadrons, besides 710 officers re quired for a great variety of extra service, especially the all Important duty of training the cltlsen force of which I shall presently speak. 792 non commissioned officers for service in drill, recruiting and the like and the necessary quota of enlisted men for the quartermaster corps, the hospital corps, the ordnance departmer t and other similar auxiliary services. These ! MESSAGE Declares That if Full Navy Pro i gram is CarneJ Out We WiV Have a Fleet For Defense That Will Be "Fitted to Our Needs and Worthy of Our Traditions." Greatest Danger to Country Comes From Within Our Bor ders. •re the additions necessary to render j the army udequate for Its present du ties. duties which it has to |*erform not only upon our own continental coasts and borders and at our interior army |H>sts. but also in the Philippines, In the Hawaiian Islands, at the isth mus and in Porto 111 o Byway of making the country ready to assert some part of its real power promptly and upon a larger scale should occasion arise the plan also contemplates supplementing the army by a force of -100.000 disciplined citi zens. raised in increments of liid.ooo a year throughout a period of three years This it is proposed to do by a process of enhstuieut under which the serviceable men of the country would i be asked to bind themselves to serve with the colors for purposes of train lug for sho -' oeriods throughout three years and ;e to the colors at call I at any ti:. .roughout an additional "furlough" peri oil of three.vears. This force of 460.000 men would be pro vided with personal accouterments as fast as enlisted and their equipment for the field made ready to lie supplied at any time They would be nssem bled for training at stated intervals at convenient places in association with suitable units of tbe regular army. Their period of annual training would not necessarily exceed two months lo the year The president says It is up to the patriotic young inen of the country to respond to this call. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR GREATER NAVY. Always Looked to It as Our First and Chief Line of Dsfsnss. The program which will be laid be fore you by the secretary of the navy is similarly conceived. It Involves only a shortening of the time within which plans long matured shall be carried out, but It does make definite and ex plicit a program which bus heretofore been only implicit, held in tbe minds of be committees on naval affairs and disclosed In the debates of the two houses, but uowbere formulated or for mally adopted. It seems to me very clear that it will lie to the advantage of tbe country for the congress to adopt t comprehensive plan for putting the tavy upon a final footing of strength and efficiency and to press that plan to completion within the next five years. We hare always looked to the navy of the country as our first and chief line of defense: we have always seen it to tie our manifest course of prudence to he strong on the seas. Year by year we have l>een creating a ni which now ranks very high In deed among the navies of the maritime nations. We should now definitely de termine how we shall complete what we have begun and how soon The program ft* lie laid before you contemplates the construction within five years of ten battleships, six battle cruisers, ten scout cruisers, fifty de stroyers. fifteen fleet submarines, eighty-five o*ast submarines, four gun boats, c hospital ship, two ammuni tion sLips. two fuel oil ships and one repair ship It is proposed that of this numlier we shall the first year provide for the construction of two battleships, two battle cruisers, three scout cruisers, fifteen destroyers, five fleet submarines, twenty-five coast submarines, two gun boats and one hospital ship: the second year two battleships, one scout cruiser, ten destroyers, four fleet submarines, fifteen coast submarines, one gunlioat and one fuel oil ship: the third year two I ait ties hips, one battle cruiser, two scout cruisers, five destroyers, two fleet submarines and fifteen coast subma rines: the fourtli year two battleships, two battle cruisers, two scout cruiser*, ten destroyers, two fleet submarines, fifteen coast submarines, one ammuni tion ship and one fuel oil ship, and the fifth year two battleships, one bat tle cruiser, two scout cruisers, ten de etrovers. two fleet submarines, fifteen coast submarines, one gnnlmat. one am munition ship and or repair ship The secretary of the nnvv | asking also for the Immediate addition to the personnel of the navy of 7.100 sailor*. *{.loo apprentice seamen and 1.100 ma rines This lncras P would be suffi cient to enre for the shins which are to * e completed within the fiscal year 1917 and also for the number of men which must be put In training to man the ships which will |>e completed parly In 1918. It is also necessary that tbe numl>er of midshipmen at tbe Na val academy at Annapolis should be Increased by at least 360 In order fbat the force of officers should be more ranldly added to. and authority is ask ed to appoint, for engineering duties only, apnrored graduates of engineer ing colleges, and for service In tbe avi ation orps n certain nnmber of men taken from civil life.
