F?LL TEXT PRESIDEN (CONTINUED PROM PAGE SIX.) partisan ol' no nation but bis own. But it cannot. There aro conic men among us, and many resident abroad who, though boru and bred in the United States, and calling themselves Americans, have so forgotten them selves and their honor as citizens as to put their pas&louato sympathy with oho or tho other Bide lu the! greut European conflict above their regard for the peuce and dignity of. the United states. They aieo 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 speak ing UL theso and expressing the even deeper humiliation and scorn which ovury (.elf-possessed and thoughtfully pntrlctir American must feel when ho Ihiu-ks of them and of tho discredit V\oy are dally bridging upon us. .Strength in thc People. While wo speak of the preparation of the nation to make sure of her roeurlty and ber effective power wo must not fall into thc ' patent''error of supposing thut her real strength comps from armaments and mere safeguards of written law. It comes, of course, irora her people, their en ergy, their success in their under taking, their opporutnity to use thc natural resources of our . great home land and of the lands outside our continental borders which look to us fur protection, for encouragement and for assistance in their develop ment: from the organization and frea Ocm niid vitality pf our economic life.' Th?< domestic questions which engag ed Li'.,: attontion of the last congress aro more vital to tho nation in thia its tinto cf test than at any other t?ne. W? cannot adequately make ready for ' any trial of our Btrength unless we wisely and promptly direct the force ot our laws into these all importont fields of domestic action. A matter which it nooma to mo we should have very much at heart is tho creation of the right Instrumentali ties by. which to mobilize our eco .no.nic resources in any time of na tional necessity. I take it for granted that 1 do not need your, authority to call into systematic consultation with the-directing officers of the army and navy men of recognized leadership und ahllity from among our citizens who are thoroughly familiar, for ex ample.- with the transportation facili ties of the country and therefore com petent to advise how they may bc co ordinated when the need arises, those Who can suggest-, .the. best woy in which to bring about prompt coop eration among the manufacturers of the country, should it bo necessary, and those who could assist to bring tho technical skill of, the country to the aid ot- the government in the solu tion pf particular problems of de fense.'-1/on l'y/ hope .that, if. 1 should find it fr maible to constitute such an advisory body tho 'congress would be willing to. vote the small sum of money that would be needed to de fray the expenses . that would prob ably ' necessary to give it tho .clerical and administrative machinery with -which to db serviceable work, What ia more important is, that the . indt.stries and resources of the coun try should be available and ready.for mobilization. It ts the moro Impera tively, necessary, therefore, that _wa should promptly devise means for do .lng what we have not yet done: that we should, give intelligent. federal aid " ?F REAL HOTWATER BEFORE BREAKFAST.

Just what theso changes will bc no one cab certainly foresee or confidently predict. Thore aro no calculable, be cause no stable, elements in thc prob- ! lem. Tho most we can do is to m^ke I certain thui wo have the necessary in strumentalities of information con stantly at our Borvice so that v>e may be sure that we know exactly, what we are dealing with when we como to act, if lt should bc necessary to act at all. ' We must first certainly know what it is that we are seeking to adapt ourselves lo. I may ask the privilege of addressing you more at length on this important matter a little later In your'session. In tho meantime may I make this suggestion? Tho transportation prob lem is on exceedingly serious and pressing one in this country. There has from time to time of lalo been reason to fear that our railroads would not much longer be able to j cope with it successfully, as at pres- i ont equipped and coordinated. I sug ges*. that it would be wise to provide j for a commission of inquiry to ascer tain by a thorough canvass of thc whole question whether our laws os at present framed and administered are as serviceable . as they might bu In the solution of tho problem. I 1B obviously a problem that lies at tho very foundation of our efficiency ns a peopie. Such an Inquiry ought to draw out every circumstance and opinion worth considering .'.and we need to know all sides of-the matter if we mean. to do anything in the field of federal legislation. . Railroad Regulation. No one, I am sure, would wish to take any backward Btep. The regu lation of thc railways of the country | by federal commission has had ad mirable reaults and has fully justi fied the hopes and expectations ot those by whom the policy of regula tion was originally proposed... Th? question ls not what should we undo?

Johnson, p;ofeasor of transportation ani com moree in tho University of Pennayl vania, In an address before tho inter nrt'.ional trade . conference which be gan hero-today under auspices of the National association of Manufacturers. Professor Johnson declared that the European war had' brought home tDc need of on adequate marino sorvlco to protect American trade. Ho laid that the only thing that had saved American foreign commerco was the fact that the seas had beon controlled by Great Britain, a, power whlo'i con trolled two-fl?ii oi thc world's ocean carrying business. "If Ute European war," ho cald, "were being Wag??d on tho seas aa widely as it is being fought on the land, Ameri can foreign commerce would be prac tically paralyzed at tho present time." Professor Johnson caid tho urgency or the present situation ImpoEcd on congress ,H e obligation to agree moon comprehensivo legislation thi3 winter to end tho Inequality between the navi gation laws of the United States and these of other maritime nations. "There can be no hope." he said, "of securing for tue service ot.'tho foreign trade of the United States a large ton nage, of chartered vessels under the American, flag'If . the conditions of operating vessels under the flag bf the United Slates aro more onerous than the requirements of the navigation laws bf oilier countries." Outlining his plan for the creation of a federal shipping board, Professor JO?b&on said: . . "The shipping.board of the marino department of the Interstate commerce cotnmision would be a hedy of ex perts, which, like .the interstate com merce commission' as regards railroad - regulation, would have much weight* with congress in i all. mattera of leg islation .regarding shipping. : "This board should, first of all, be directed f>y congress io investigate shipping and na tjation laws of the United States and to report at an ear ly date a revised code of maritime law(t..:.-.''Clongre8S should make a, lib ?rai 'appropriation to be expended by the shlppins board In aid of shlp Pdj?f.' ,Tne. board ? aneald be authoris ed to enter into contracts with a lim ited numbo r of steamship lines from the Catted States to foreign countries.
