the aenae that evarythlng wlaely done may

ma a clear dictate of prudent statesmanship
and frank f nance that In what we are bow,
I bone, about to undertake we ahsuld pay
ae wa go. Tha people of the country are
entitled to know Juat what burdens of tsx
stion they era to carry, and to know from
tha outaet. now. The new bills should bs

To what source-, then. ehsJI we turn? Thja
Is so peculiarly a queatlon. which the gen

making the burden unreasonably or op
preaalvely heavy. The precise reckonings
are fully and accurately act out In the re
port of the Secretary of the Treaaury. wnicn
will ba immediately laid before you.
And there are many additional sources of
revenue which can justly ba reaortea to
without hampering the Industrie of tha
the country or putting any too great charge
upon individual expenditure. A tax of ona
cent per gallon on gasoline and naptha
would yield, at the preaent estlmsted pro
duction. I1O.O00.O04: a tax of io cents per
horsepower on automnbllea and Internal ex
plosion engines, li.it"i."00: a stamp tsx
on bank check., probably S18.0uv.iiu0: a tax
of Zi cents per ton on pig Iron. flo.OQO.uuv;
a tax of 2. cents per ton on fsbneated iron
and atael, probably f I0.0v.000. In a coun
try of great Indurtrirs Ilka this It ought to
be esay to distribute the burdens of taxation
without making them anywhere bear too
heavl.y or loo exclualvely upon any one set
of persons or undertsklngs. What is clear
la thst the industry of this generation
should psy the bills of this gcnerstlon.
. Ks Immediate Imager In Mind.
I have spoken to you today, gentlemen,
upon a single theme, the thoruugh prepara
tion of the Nation to care for Ita own se
curity and to make sure of entire freedom
to play the imperllal role In this hcmls
Dhero and in the world which ae all behave
to have been providentially assigned to It. I
have hsd in ray mind ho thought of any im
mediate or particular danger arising out of
our ralstlons with other natlona. We are at
peace with all the nationa of the world, and
there la reason to hope that no question In
controversy between this and other govern
ments will lead to any serious breach of
amicable retatlona. grave as aome differ
ences of sttitude and policy have been and
may yet turn out to be. I sm sorry to say
that tbs gravest threats asslnst our Na
tions! peace and aafety have been uttered
within our own hordera There are cltizena
of the United tttales. I bluah to sdmlt. born
under other flags but welcomed under our
generous naturalization laws to the full
freedom and opportunity of America, who
have poured the poison of dialuyalty into
the very arteries ot our Nations! life: who
have sought to bring the sulhorlty and good
name of our Government into contempt,
to destroy our lnduatrles wherever they
thought It effective for their vindictive pur
pnaes to strike at them, and to debase our
poittlca to the uses of foreign intrigue.
Their number Is not great as compared vlth
the whole number of those sturdy hosts by
which our Nation haa been enriched In re
cent genarallons out of virile roretgn stocks:
hut It Is grt-st encugh to nave brought deep
disgrace upon us and to have made it neces
sary that we should promptly make uae of
prwcretfi of law by which we may be
purged of their eorrupt distempers. America
never witnea.ed anything like this before.
It never dresmed It possible thst men sworn
Into its own cillxenshlp. men drawn out of
great free atooka aurh as ajpplted some of
tho beat and atrongeat elements of that lit
tle, but how hemic, nation that In a high
day of old staked tta very life to free Itself
from every entanglement that had dark
ened the fortunes of the older nnttons and
set up a new etandard here that men of
such orlglna and such free choices of al
legiance would ever turn In msllgn reaction
against tha Government and people who had
welcomed and nurtured I hem and seek to
make thta proud country once mure a hot
bed of Kuropenn piuton.
A little while ago such a thing would
have seemed Incredible, llecausc It mas In.
credible, we made no preparation for It. We
would have been almost ashamed to prepare
far It, as If we were auspicious of ourselves,
eur own comrades snd neighbors! But the
ugly and Incredible Ihlng haa actually come
about and wa ara without adequate Federal
laws to desl with It. I urge you to enact
such Isws st the earliest possible moment
snd feel that in doing so I am urging you td
do nothing lees thsu save the honor and
self-reaped of the Nation. Such creatures
of passion, dis'oyalty. and anarchy must be
crushed out. They are not many, but they
are Infinitely malignant, and the band of
our power should close over tham at once.
They have formed plota to destroy property,
they have entered Into conspiracies against
tha neutrality of the Government, they have
sought to f ry Into every confidential trans,
action of lha Clovemment In order o serve
Interests alien to our own. It la possible to
Oral with these things very effectually. I
need tot suggest ths terms In which they
may La dealt with.
Id. loyal Americano Scored.
I wlah thst It could be said that only a
few men. misled by mistaken aentlmcnts
of allegiance to the governmenta under
which they were born, had been guilty of
disturbing the self-possession snd misrep
resenting the temper and principles of ths
country during iheae daya of terrible wa-.
when It would seem that every men who wsa
truly an American would Instinctively make
It bla duty and his pride to keep the scales
of Judgment even and prove himself a psr
tisan of no nation but hia own. But It cen
sor. There are aome men among ua, and
many reaident abroad who, though born
and bred la the United States sod calling
themselves Americans, bsve so forgotten
themselves and their honor as citizens as
to put their paaslonate sympathy with one
er the other side ln the great European
conflict above their regard for the peace
and dignity Of the United States. .They
also preach and practice disloyalty. No
laws, I suppose, can reach corruptions
of the mind and heart; but I should not
speak of others without also .peaking of
these and expressing the even deeper hu
miliation and scorn which every aelf-pos-saeesd
and thoughtfully patriotic American
muat feel when he thinks of them and of
tha discredit they era dally bringing upon na.
While we epeax or tne preparation or tne
Nation to make sure her security snd her
effective power we must not fsll Into the
oatent error of supposing that iter real
strength comes from armaments and mere
safeguards of written law. It comes, of
course, from her people, their energy, their
succeas in their undertakings, their free
opportunity to use tha natural resources of
our great homeland and of the lands out-
SeOeeux continental .borders which. look io ns ,
for protection, for encouragement and for
assistance In their development; from the
orgsntzation snd freedom and vitality of
our economic life. The domestic questions
which engaged the attention of the last Con
gress are mora vital to the Nation ln this
Ita time of test than at any other time. We
cannot adequately make ready for any trial
of our strength- unless we wisely and prompt
ly direct the force of our laws Into these
all-important fields of domestic setion. A
matter which it seeme to "me we should
have very much at heart Is the creation of
the right instrumentalities by which to mob
ilize car economic resources in any time
of Nstlonal necessity. I take it for grant
ed thst 1 do not need your authority to
can lnte systematic consultation with the
directing officers of the Army snd Navy
men of recognized leaderahip and ability
from among our citizens who are thorough
ly familiar, for example, with the trail
portatioa facilities of the country and there
fore competent to advise how they may be
co-ordinated when tha need arises, those
who can suggest the best way in which to
bring shout prompt co-operation among the
manufacturers of the country, ahould it be
necessary, and those who could assist to
bring tne technical skill of tbe country to
tha aid of the Government In tha solution
of partlculsr problems of defense, I only
hope that if I should find it feasible to
constitute such an advisory body the Con
gress would be willing to vote tho small
aum of money that would be needed to
defray the expenses that would probably be
necesssry to give it the clerical and admin
istrative machinery with which to do serv
iceable work.
Industry Must Be Mad. Available.
What is more important is. that the in
dustries and resources of the country should
he available and ready for mobilization. It
la the more imperatively necessary, there
fore, that we ahould promptly devise means
for doing what we have not yet done; that
we should give Intelligent Federal aid snd
stimulation to Industrial and vocational ed
ucation, as we have long done in the large
field of our sgricultural industry; that, at
the same time that we safeguard and con
serve the nstural resources of the country
we should pot them at the disposal of those
who will use thum promptly and intelligent
ly, as was sought to be done ln the ad
mirable hills submitted to the last Congress
from its committees on the public lands, bills
which I earnestly recommend ln principle
te your consideration; that we should put
Into early operation aome provision for
rural credits which will add to the exten
alva borrowing facilities already afforded
tlie farmer by the reserve hank act ade
quate instrumentalities by which long cred
its may be obtained on land mortgages;
snd that we should study more carefully
than they have hitherto been studied the
right adaptation ot our economic arrange
menta to changing conditions.
If any conditions about which we have re
pestediy legie.lated are being altered from
decade to decade. It is evident under our
very eyes, snd are likely to change even
more rapidly and more radically in the
daya tmmeclietoly ahead of us, when peace
has returned to the world and the nations
nf Europe once more take up their tasks
of commerce and industry with the energy
of thoso who must bestir themselves to
build anew. Just what these changea will
be no one can certainly foresee or confi
dently predict. There are no calculable, be
cause no stable, elements in the problem.
The most we can do la to make certain that
wo have the necessary instrumentalities of
information constantly at our service, so
that we may ba sure that we know exactly
what we are dealing with when we come to
act. If ft should be necessary to act at all.
We must first certainly know what It Is that
wa are aeeking to adapt ourselves to. I
may sak the privilege of addressing you
more at length on this Important matter

TransfMrrtat ion Problem Serious.
In the meantime may I make this sug
gestion? The transportation problem ia an
exceedingly serious and pressing one In this
country. There baa from time to time of
late been reason to fear that our railroads
would not much longer be able to cope with
It successfully, as at present equipped and
co-ordinated. I suggest that (lt would be
vim to nrovide for a commission of In
quiry to ascertain by a thorough canvass of
tha whole question wnetner our laws as ai
present framed and administered are as
serviceable ss they might be in the solu
tion of the problem. It is obviously a proh
lem that lies at the very foundation of our
efficiency ns a people. Such an Inquiry
ought to draw out every circumstance and
opinion worth considering and we need to
know all sides of the matter if wc mean
to do anything ln the field of Federal legis

backward step. The regulation of the rall
