Washington, Dec. 7.—A doctrine
of Pan-Americanism—of full parl
nsrship between the notions of the|
Western Hemisphere in world af
fairs—was pro- -aimed by ihxsxidcot
Wilson lodny In bit third annual ad
dress to Congress, the theme ol
which wns preparedness by the
United State* to dof«nd Dot only
ita own independence but the rights
of those with whom it has mode com
mon cause. Tbs message was read
by the Provident to the Senate and
House assembled in joint session in
the thamber of the House.
Every recommendation embodied
in the document hud to do with com
prehensive plena for strengthening
the national defanaea. The pro
gramme raeJu-vU the army and navy
plana already made public by Secre
tarta* Uarrtaon and Daniels; legiala
tion for government owned merchant
ships; a rural credit low; the Philli
pines and Porto Klco hills which
failed of final passage at tha last
session; conservation legislation; ■
law giving federal aid to industrial
and vocational education; and the
creation of a commission to inquire
Into the transportation problem.
Naturalised and native bom
baillgsienta abroad, haw plotted and
conspired to violate than own toun
try'i neutrality wart scathingly da
nounrad by tba President, and Con
grata was urged to provide adequate
federal laws to deal with tuch of
fenders.
Internal taxation was proposed at
the meant of providing the money
necessary to add to the naval and
military establishments Sources of
taxation suggest: W war* in coma
gaaolWe, cqpQv- oosobiles and ‘in
, temal nxplsetea eugines, fabrloatad

revenue bill and conlinuanre of the
present tariff on sugar were retom
mended, and the sale of bonds op
posed.
This message was the longest Mr
Wilton haa ever delivered to Con
grats. He began with a statement
that tinea he laat addressed Coo
grata:
"The European war hat extended
Its threatening and sinister scops
until it has swept into its Same some
porion of every quarter of the globe,
not excepting our own hemisphere,
has altered the whole face of inter
national affairs, and now presents a
prospect of reorganisation and ru
eobstruction such aa statesmen and
peoples have never been called upon
to atteSnyt before”
The United States hat ramtined
neutral, be laid, because it bad no
interest in the causes and because it
war tba duty >-f tha nations of the
western hetnispnera to pieveot col
lective economic ruin.
The President pointed to the stti
tad* of the United States toward*
Mexico aa proving that this country
hat no selfish motive* in its interest
in countries in Central and. South
America. Thor* was a time, in
raid, whan the United State* looked
upon itself as a sort of guardian of
tha republics to the south a* against
the encroachment or effort* of polit
ical control from Europe.
“But," he adlod. “it was always
difficult to me. .ain such a rdo with
out offense to tha pnde of the pao
plea whoa* freedom of action wa
sought to protect, and every man of
thoughtful affairs must welcome the
altered circumstance* of the new
day In whose light we now stand,
when there ia no claim of guardian
ship or thought of wards, but, in
stead, a full and honorable associa
tion of partners between ourselves
and our neighbor*, in the interest of
all America. North and South.
“Onr concern for tha independents
and tha prosperity of tha State* of
Cenrtal sad. South America is not al
tered. Wa regain unabated tha splr
it that has inspired as throughout

concerned, upon a footing of genuliM
•quality and unquestioned bide pen
Hence"
“We have Wot pid t* the task h
the ease of Mexico, and wa havr
•Wad tha Wat," daetarsd tha Prea
dent. He added that it temainoj tc
be seen whether Mexico bad been
neneiiuod by the coots* taken by the
Administration. but that "we bare
ut least prosed the. we will not take
sti vantage of her in Uoj dutreen and
uniicitake to impose upon her u*i a.
<l«r and government of our own
choosing."
"i hr uiornl is," continued the
President, "that the State* of Amen
ice are uot hostile rivals but co-ope
raLtug friends. and that their grow
iug sens* of community inters^

them a new significance aa factor*

presents them as in a very deep and
true sense a unit in world affaire,

with common sympathies and com
mon ideals. Separated they are
subject to all the croei currents of
ihe confused jiolitics of a world of
hoelde rivalries; united in spirit
and purpose they cannot be disap
pointed of their peaceful destiny***
"I am Interested to fix your atten
tion 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
lind the right light In which to eel
foith the particular matter that lies
at the very front of my whole
tkinivKl mm I sd.1^.*. ... I
mean national defense."
The pension of tho American peo
ple, tho President declared, waa for
peace; that conquest and dominion
were not ia their reckoning nor
agraaaUe to thair prieiple*.
“But juet because we demand on -
molceted development and tbe un
livee upon our own principle! of
right and liLerty," be said, "we ra
rer, t, from wbatever qaaiter it may
come, the aggression wo ourmlvo*

would not maintain a standing army
except for uee* which ara at neces
sary In lima* of ponce as In time* of
war, hut that tbe country did be
lieve In a body of free citiaena ready
and sufficient to taka care of them

“But war has never been a mere
matter of men and arms,” be contin
ued. "It la a thing of disciplined
might If our citizens are ever to
fight effectively upon a sadden sum

The President presented the Wei
Dcpaitment plane /or strengthenln|
the army as "the essential first step'
end "for tbo present sufficient.'' Th<
plane include the increasing of tb<
standing army of a force of 141,841
men of all service*, and the astab

"It would depend upon tho patrt

the President. "It would depend up

ItclaUvr to Handling Christ- -j
mas Mail.
My co-operatiug with tho IJdal
Office Department the public can ac
complish much toward* relieving the
congestion cautcd by the heavy
Christmas mail. The following
statement is isiued by PtsUnesU;
tic gene T. Leo:
While Christmas is a holiday for
moat of the wond yet it is the hard
est season of the year for thoao em
ployed in the postal service. : Last
year the Department eucceaefujly
handled the largest volume of peck
ago mall emr known and the ton tin
ued growth of the parcel post makes
it certain that a still greater number
of piacoe will be mailed during the
coming holidays. Measures have
iiaar devised at he local poatoAcs to
promptly handle all package mart
ouring the holiday season.
As patrons are vllally Interested
in having parcels delivered on or be
fore Chris i mas day—every effort
will bo ,:;ade to accomplish this.
However a little thoughtfunees oh
Die pert t f the public will save an
overworked force much worry and
trouble. The timeliness of gifts de
pends upon their being recefvod on
or before Christmas day: early mail
ing will Insure this, whereas the
practice of mailing packages late in
•he hope that they will reach their
uaetuintinn on Christmas Is likely to
ovfnat its own object through un
aiouiabi* delay due to the eonse
quant congestion of malls.
Attention is called to th* fact that
P*rt>#la may bear the inscription.
"Not to be opened, until Christmas"
or soma other similar taacnptior.
without rendering th* subject to
Arat class rates. As most poopl*
already do theu Christmas shopping
•wrly—they could wisely add to th*
custom of mailing their packages
early.
Attention la also called to th* fact
that for l hr** cents e par col may be
bfWd for It* valise up to Are dol
Thla bow feature adds to th*
saewrlty of the pend In transit and
' - - |. I , , ‘
fa.tion to the patrons Whan a par-1
cal is proses tod for acceptance it
muet be securely wrapped and plains
ly addressed- The Insurance tag
must be Ailed out and attached to
th* parcel by the tfnder. The em
ployee accepting parcel muet in each
instance aeoertafi what article* th*
parcel contain*. Thla is not curios
ity on th* pan of the employee for
he la simply following the specific
instructions of the Poatoflloe Depart
ment.
Thla year th* volumo of mail will
greatly exceed anything heretofore
known and only a thoughtful consid
eration on th* part of th* public will
prevent congestion and consequent
delay which is equally annoying to
l>Oth the patrons and employees.
