THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Driven at last by the acts of actual
warfare against the lire and pro
perty of the American people to a
point where further patience would
be nothing less than criminal ne
glect. President Wilson has asked the
congress of the United States to
formally acknowledge that a state as
war now exists. In seeking such a
declaration the president also asks
that he he equipped with authority
to meet the acts of the German em
plre with the full force of the army
and nary, and to carry on an effec
tive warfare against a government
that he characterizes aa a "natural
foe to liberty." "
The president's message, read to
congress Monday evening. Is approv
ed by the press and the people as
among the most able of American
state documents. It Is a severe in
dictment of Prussian militarism, and
the president says that the "wrongs
against which we now array our
selves are not common wrongs; they
out to the very roots of human life."
Besides urging that congress by
resolution declare that Germany has
mad war and Is now making war
wpon the United 8tates, the following
are some of the president's recom
mendations: '
- "Utmost practical co-operation to
counsel and action with the govern
ments already at war with Germany.
"Extension of liberal financial
credits to those governments so that
the resources of America may te
added so far as possible to theirs.
"Organization and mobilization of
all the material resources of the
eountry. , '
"Full equipment of the navy, par-
tlcularly for means of dealing with
submarine warfare.
"An arrnf of at least 500,000,
based on the principal of universal
liability to service and the authoriza
tion of additional Increments of
600,000 each as they are needed or
can be handled in training.
' "Raising necessary money for the
United States government so far a
possible without borrowing and on
the basis of equitable taxation."
Of the course to be followed In mak
ing the declaration or a condition of
war, President-Wilson said:
"I advise that the congress declare
the recent course of the imperial
German government to be In fait
nothing less than war against the
government and people or the United
Btstes, that It formally accept the
status or belligerent which ryu thus
been thrust upon It and that It take
steps not only to put the country ID
a more thorough state of defense but
also to exert all Us power and employ
all )ts resources to During the govern
ment of the Oerman empire to terms
and end the war.'V
The thread of thought that runs
through the entire message Is that -,.
the United States desired' peace, hut ( '
that peace at the price that must be
paid, with the rights of clUsens
trampled underfoot, would he worse
than war. The objects of the United
States la entering the war, he said,
are to vindicate the principle of
peace and justice against "selfish
and autocratie power." .He dis
claimed all selfish, ends, the chief
end to be to make the world safe for
democracy. '
PAY-AS-WE-GO VAR
mm me
Washington, 'April S. The prob
lem of financing America's part In
the world war waa directly before
President Wilson and hla cabinet.
The department heads await only
action by congress on the "war reso
lutions" Introduced last night, before
submitting the "first war budget,'
calling for hundreds of millions of
dollar.
It la to be a "pay-aa-we-go" war,
the government haa decided, "a war
sustained so far aa may be equitable
by the present generation, by well
conceived taxation," the president
declared in his meesage. '
It la not the president's Intention
to shift the burden to further gen
erations.
"It would be most unwise," the
president said, "to base the credits
which will now be necessary entirely
on money borrowed. It la our duty
to protect our people so far aa we
may against very serious hardships
and evils which will be likely to arise
out of the inflation which would be
produced by vast loans."
All will be made to share in the
sacrifice necessitated by the war, but
it la evident that the administration
haa In mind a plan of taxing heavily
the enormous incomes of the rich.
President Wilson's suggestion for
a pay-as-you-go-wsr ' will meet op
position in the house. This was
clearly indicated today when Minor
ity Leader Mann announced hla be
lief that "we must Immediately bor
row money" and issue bonds. '
Mann pointed out that the nation
still Is paying jtg civil war, Sp&tsh-
American and Panama canal debts.
Moreover,' he suggested that plans
for "confiscatory taxes" on Incomes
above $100,000 will doubtless prove
a subject for objection.
