WASHINGTON, I). C. Dec. 7.
' Problem Wilson mado IiIm tenth ap
pearance before congress today, when
he gave hli message to the slsty
fuurth session. Ill- appearance at
12:40 was the occaalon for a strong
ovation, und tlio "rebel yell' of tho
Southerners was heard above the ap
plause. "Since I last had the privilege of
addressing you on tho atate of tbe
Viilon," inld the president, "tbe war
of notion, on tho other tide of the
u, which had then only begun to dis
close ita portentloua proportion!, haa
extended Ita threatening and alnlater
scope until It haa swept within Its
flaino nnmo portion of every quarter
of 'the globe, not excepting our own
hemisphere, haa altered tho whole
face of International affairs, and now
presents a prospect of re-organltatlon
and reconstruction such na ntateamou
and peoples have never before been
called upto to attempt
"Wo have stood apart, studiously
neutral. It was our manifest duty to
do so. Not only did we have no part
or Interest tn the policies which seem
to have brought the conflict on; It
was necessary, If a universal catastro
phe was to be avoided, that a limit
should bo set to the sweep of destruct
ive wur that soino part of tho great
.family of nations should koop the pro
cesses of peace allvo, If only to pre
vent collective economic ruin and the
breakdown throughout tho world of
tho Industries by which Ita popula
tlons are fed and sustained. It was
manifestly the duty of the self-governed
nations of this, hemlsphore to
redress, If possible, tho balance of
economic loss anil confusion In the
other, If they could do nothing more.
In the day or readjustment and recup
eration wo earnestly hope and be
lieve that thoy can be of Infinite ser
vice. "In this neutrality, to which they
were bidden not only by their sep
arate life and tholr habitual detach
raent from the politics ot Europe, but
' also by iv clear perception of Inter
national duty, the states of America
have become conscious of a new and
more vital community of Interest and
moral partnerahlD In affairs, more
dearly conscious of the many common
sympathies and Interest! and duties
which bid them stand together.1
The course th administration haa
used In Mexico, and tbe better union
-f the American countries aa a result
waa dwelt upon by Wilson. He prom
lied aid, but not coercion for Mexico,
and maintained that the course ot the
nation In this respect should be suffi
cient proof to alt America: that tbe
Wnlted lutes seeks no political sussr
a'nty or selfish control. This, he held,
was real Pan-Americanism, the effect
uaj embodiment of the spirit of lav,
liberty and mutual service.

quickens It. Couqucst and dominion
are not In our reckoning, or agreeable
to our principles.
Hut J ii Hi Iiuciiiihu we demand un
molested development mid tho undis
turbed Kovcrnmcut of our own Uvea
upon our own principles of right and
liberty, we rcaont, from whatever
quarter It may come, the aggression
wo ourselves will not practice. We
Insist upon security In prosecuting our
self-chosen Hue of national develop
ment. We do more than that. Wo demand
It for others. Wo feci It wherever
there Is a people that tries to walk In
theso difficult paths of Independence
and right. From tho first wo hnvo
mado common cause wlttuiill parti

and have deemed It as Important that
our neighbors should bo frco from all
outside domination as that we our
selves should bo; hnvo sot America
asldo as a whole for the uses of In
dependent nations and political free
dom.

of asserting the rights of a people
against aggression. And wo. lire as
fiercely Jealous of coercive or dicta

of aggression from without.
Wo will not imilntnln u standing

to It that our military peaco establish

days In which no enemies move
against us. Hut wo do believe In a
body of frco citizens ready and sum-
clont to tnko care of thomsolves and
of tho govornmonts which thoy havo
set up to servo them.
Ilut war has never been a mero
matter of mon and guns. It Is a thing
of disciplined might. If our cltlzons
aro over to fight effectively upon a
sudden summons, they must know
how modern fighting Is dono, and
what to do when tho summons comes
to rendor themselves immcaiui-iy
available and Immediately effective.
They must bo fitted to play tho great
role In tho world, and particularly in
this hemisphere,, for wiucn mey nre
qualified by prlnclplo and by chasten

It Is with theso Ideals In mind that
tho nlana of tho department of war
for more adequate national defenses
were conceived which will bo laid be
fore you, and which I urgo you to
sanction and put Into effect as soon as
they can be properly scrutlnlxed and
