Mexican Policy.. The President pointed to the "atti tude -of the United States toward Mex ico as proving that this country has no selfish motives in its interest in coun tries in Central and South America. There was a time, he Said, when the United States looked upon itself as a sort of guardian of the republics to the south as against the encroach ment or efforts of political control from 'Enrobe. "But." he added, "it was always d If i ficult to maintain such a role without offense to the pride of the peoples whose freedom of action we sought to protect,. and every thoughtful man of affairs must welcome the altered cir cumstances of the new day in. whose light- we now stand, when there is no claim of guardianship or thought, or wards, but instead a full and honorr able association of partners between ourselves and our neighbors in the interests of all America, North and South. ; "Our concern for the independence and the prosperity of the states of Central and South America is not al tered. We retain unabated the spirit that has inspired us throughout the whole life of our government .--V.aiq which was so frankly put into wbr.d,s by President Monroe. We stiHkmejan always to make a common cause or na tional independence and . of political liberty in America, but that purpose is now better understood so far as it concerns ourselves,. It is known, not to be a selfish purpose. It is knowu to have in it no thought of taking ad vantage of any government in this hemisphere or playing itsj political for tunes for our own benefit.' All the governments of America stand, so far as we are concerned, upon a footing of genuine equality and unquestioned in dependence." . Put to the Test. "We have been put to the test, in, the case of Mexico, and we have stood the test," declared the Presi dent. He added that it remained to be . seen whether Mexico had been benefited by the course taken by the administration, but that "we have at least proved that we will not take ad vantage of her in her distress and un dertake to impose upon her an order and government of our own choosing." "The moral is," continued the Pres ident, "that the states of America are net hostile rivals, but cooperating: friends, and that their growing' sense of community interest, alike in mat ters political and iiz matters economic, is likely to give them a new signifi cance as factors in international af fairs and in the political history ot' the world.

I would look for ward, to the success of such an ex- periment with entire confidence Plan for Navy. Outlining the details . of the navy plan presented by Secretary Daniels, the President said that it involves only a shortening of the time within ivhich plan& long matured shall be car ried out but it does make definite and explicit a program which has hereto fore been only implicit, held in the minds of the committees on naval af fairs and disclosed in the debates of. the two houses, but nowhere formu lated or formally adopted. ;.' . it seems to be very clear that it will be to the advantage of the country for the CJohgress to adopt a comprehen sive plan for putting the navy upon a final footing of strength and efficiency and to press that plan to completion within the next five years." The President said that in order to secure national self-efficiency and self-security the country must have h merchant manne. "For it is a question of independ ence," he asserted. "If other nations fefdrto war or seek to hamperLeach oth erite ' commerce, bur merchants, (it seems, are at their mercy to do w$th as .. they please. We must, use their Bhtps, and use them as they deter mine. Our independence is- provin cial, and if is only on iand and within our own borders. We are not likely to j be permitted to use even, the ships of other nations in rivalry of their own trade, and are without means to ex tend our commerce' evea where the doors are wide open and our goods de sired. Such a situation-is not to be endured. It is of capital importance not only, that the United. States should be its own carrier pn the seas and en-, joy the economic independence which only an adequate merchant marine would give it, but also that the Amer ican hemisphere as a whole should en joy a like independence and self-sufficiency if it is not to be . drawn into the tangle of European affairs." Merchant Marine. The task of building up an ade quate merchant marine, Mr. Wilson said, must be undertaken ultimately by American private capital, but in the meantime, he declared, every legal obstacle standing in the way of the building, purchase and American regis tration of ships should be removed and the s-q-. eminent should undertake to o en routes, especially between the ixso American continents. When the risk has passed and private capital rc.'sir.n to f-rsd its way into these new chnnneis. he added, the government may withdraw. The President told Congress that tmes"and common ideals. Separated proposals would be made during the they are subject to all the cross-cur- i coming session for the purchase" 'or rents ot the contused politics of a world of hostile rivalries; united in spirit and purpose they cannot be dis appointed of their peaceful destiny. I am interested to fix your at tention on this prospect now, because unless you take it within your view and permit the full significance of it to command your thought I cannot find the right light in which to set forth the particular matter that liea at the very front of my whole thought as I address you today. I mean na tional defense.'' Passion for Peace. The passion of the American peo ple, the President- declared, was for peace; that conquest and dominion wore not in their reckoning nor agree able to their principles. But just because we demand un molested development and the undis turbed government of our own lives upon, our own . principles of right and liberty," he said, "we. resent, from whatever quarter it may come, the ag gression we ourselves will not prac tice. We insist unon seenritv in prosecuting our self-chosen lines of national development. We do more than that. We demand it also for others." War, the President declared, was regarded by the United States inerely as a means of asserting the rights of a people against aggression, and that we are as fiercely jealous of coercive or dictatorial power within our. own nation as from aggression from with out. He said the nation would not maintain a standing army except for uses which are as necessary in times of peace as4 in 'times of war, but that i ue country am oeiieve in a Body of free citizens ready and sufficient to take care of themselves and of tho Cj W V 11 All.

The most that can be done now, he said, is to- make sure that, the necessary instrumentali ties are at hand for securing adequate information. 1 ..". Regarding the railroads the Presi dent said there had been reason to fear that they could not cope much longer with the transportation prob lem,,, and. suggested it would be wise to provide for a commission of in quiry to ascertain ivhether the laws as at present framed and administered were as serviceable as they might be in the solution of the problem, .He said that the regulation of the rail roads by Federal commission has had admirable results and that the ques tion was whether there was anything else to be done to better the condi tions under which the railroads are operating. . . :$TQ rocc vo ,y!)ur. .holiday, .ordhro. fbh MsParlr rttlfdra'a temotlhiv daHclnnk Hens Cackle Kobsters Grow POULTRY RESTORATIVE HlpThm to Lay Mor Egos Kp Healthy and Gain Weight Sold by J.

C. construction of ships to be owned and directed -by the government. The Pleasure, he said, would be similar to that submitted to the last Congress, but modified in some essential particu lars. In outlining the financial condition of the government the President fol lowed closely the statement recently given out by Secretary McAdoo. He said that the additional revenue re quired to carry out the program of military and. naval reparation would be $93,800,000 for the fiscal year 1917; that if the present taxes were contin ued throughout this year and the next there would be a balance in the treas ury of about $7G,5OO,0OO at the end of the present fiscal year and a deficit at the end of the next year of some $112,000,000, reckoning, in $02,000,000 for deficiency appropriations. Internal Tax. , Proposing that the new bills should be paid by internal taxation, the President suggested that by lowering the present limits of income exemp tion and the figure at which the sur tax is imposed, and by increasing step by step throughout the present gradu ation the surtax itself, income taxes as at present apportioned would yield sums sufficient to balance the books of the treasury at the end of the fis cal year 1917 without anywhere mak ing the burden unreasonably her.vy. He added that there were many addi tional sources of revenue which just 'V could be resorted to , without ham pering the industries of .the country or putting any too great charge upon the individual expenditure. - He esti mated that a one cent, 'tax per gat Ion on gasoline and ."naphtha would yield $10,000,000; .a tax of .5.0. cents per horsepower on automobiles . and in ternal "explosion engines, 15,000,000; a stamp tax on bank checks, probably $18,000,000,- and - a tax of 50 ' cents per ton on .fabricated" iron and steel, probably $10,000,000. The President said there was rea son to hope that no -question in con troversy between this and . other gov ernments would lead to any serions breach of amicable -relations, and that he was sorry to say that the gravest; threats against national ' peace and safety had been uttered within the country's own borders. .
