ness for War,
(fly A?sdcietcd Prca*.)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 88.-President
Wilson, in his annual address* to con
gress today, coupled with a defense
of the country's military preparedness
a word of assurance to business that
lt would not be embarrassed by further
legislation. He said the trust and
currency legislative program of his
administration virtually had been com
pleted and that there waa a clear and*
firm road ahead on which honest men
might travel with perfect confidence.
For passsge at this session, tho
president urged measures to meet tho
changed conditions due to the Eu
ropean war, particularly the govern
ment ship purchase bill; measures to
unlock resource* of the national do
main and to encourage Improvement
of navigable waters for generation of
power, and the bill already passed by
the house to give "a larger measure of
self government to the people of thc
Philippines." <
When he entered the house cham
ber where Vice President Marshall
and Speaker Clark presided over r
Joint session of the senate and house,
the president was greeted ' with an
uproarious ovation. Throughout his
address he frequently waa .interrupt
ed by applause, particularly from the
Democratic side, demonstrations bf
approval reaching a climax wh?i.N re
ferring to recent agitation over nation
al defense, he declared the adminis
tration had "not been negligent of
national defense," that the attitude ot
the government would not be altered
"because some amongst ns are ner
vous and excitad," and that a policy
ot defense could "easily and sensibly
be agreed upon."
. In advocating the ship purchase
bill, the president said the war tn
Europe had left loreign nations more
dependent upon the United States for
supplies, and that the government
should provide ships that the nation's
goods might be carried "to the empty
markets."
The Philippine hill, tho president
asserted, "would, nobly crown the re
cord of these two years of memorable
labor."
Concerning rural credits legislation
he expressed regret that difficulties
of the subject seemed "to .render, lt
impossible to complete a bill for pas
sage at this session."
Members of the senate and house
listened ?iteutively to the outline of
the president's program as they did
aluo to his discussion of economy and
the assertion that "there should be.a
systematic r?organisation and , ress
embltng" ot tba parts of the govern
ment to sec?te greater efficiency.
Mr. Wilson spoke with gnu em
phasis and 'deliberation when he be
gan discussion Of the military situa
tion and was enthusiastically cheer
ed, the galleries joining In the ap
plause when' he sold:
"It ls said in some quarters that
- we are not prepared for war. What
is meant by being prepared? 1B it
meant that we Uro not ready. upon
brief ftbtied to put a nation in the
field, a nation of men trained to arms?
Of course, we are not ready to d"
that, and wo Shall never be in time of
peace, so long as we retain our present
political principles and institutions."
Proclaiming the * people ara the
"champions of peace, sud concord."
the president emphatically opposed, a
great standing army, and was again
cheered when he asserted that in time
of national peril the country must de
pend "upon a citlsenry trained abd ac
customed to anns."
'When the proaident had concluded
he was surrounded -by senators and
representatives who gathered In the
speakers office to extend their con-1
gratuiationa.
The president's message follows :
Gentlemen of the Congress;
The session upon which you are
now entering wai be the closing ses
sion of the Sixty-third congre?a&*?
congress, I venture to say, . which
will long be remembered for the great
body of - thoughtful and constructive
work which it has done. In loyal re
sponse to the thought and aseda of
the country, I should like in this
address te review the notable record
and try to make aeeqaate c?asessment
of It; but oo dodbt we stand too sear
the work that has bean done and are
ourselves too much a part of it to play
the-part of historians toward lt
Moreover, our thoughts sra now
mora ot the, fMore thad of the past.
While we hate erorked at our tasks of
peace the circusaatanees of the whole
aga have besa altered hy war. . What
we har? done fer o*r own land and
our own people we ?nd with the beat

the difficult undertaking; but lt is!
done. It hag passed from our bands.
It in now an established part of the!
legislation of the country. Its useful
ness, its effects trill disclose them
selves in experience. What chiefly
strikes us now, as we look ab**>ut us
during these closing days of a year
which will be forever memorable In
the history of the world, is that we
face new tasks, have been facing
them these 'six months, must face
them In the months to come,-face
them without partisan feeling, like
men who have' forgotten everything
but a common duty and the fact that
we are representatives of a ?rest peo
ple whose thought ls not of us but of
what America owes to herself and to
all mankind In such circumstances as
these upon which we look amazed
and anxious.
War has Interrupted the means of
trade not only but also the process
of production. In Europe lt is de
stroying men and resources wholesale
and upon a scale unprecedented and
appalling. - There -ls reason to fear
that tho time is near, if it he not al
ready ut 'hand, when several of the
countries of Europe will had it diffi
cult to do for their people what they
havo hitherto been always easily able
to do,-many essential and fundamen
tal things. ' At any. rate, they will nee*0
our-help and our manifold services
as they have never needed them be
fore; and we should he ready, moro
fit and ready than we have ever been.
It ls of equal consequence that the
nations < whom Europe bas usually
supplied with Innumerable,articles of
manufacture and- commerce of which
they are In constant .need and'with
out which their economic develop
ment halts and -stands still can now
get only 'a small part of what they
[formerly Imported and eagerly loo?;
to us to supply their all but empty
markets. This is particularly true of
our own neighbors, the States, great
and small, of Csntral and South
America. Their lines of- trade have
hitherto run chiefly athwart the seas,
not to our port* but to 'the ports ot
Great Britain and of the older conti
nent of Europe.. I.da not stop to in
quire why;, or to make any comment
on probable causes. What Interests

and to serve mankind; ready with Its

The South More Than Cotton
Some years ago when a disastrous freeze destroyed 5100,000,000 worth of citrus 'fruit
groves and other property values in Florida, the people of that State immediately turned to
and worked with greater energy than ever before. They lost neither heart nor faith, nor did
they ask for help from anyone with which to finance themselves and rebuild their interests.
And Florida today is proof of what they were able to achieve.
A few years ago the Louisiana cotton crop was so nearly destroyed by the boll-weevil
that the production in that ?tate dropped in one year from 1,000,000 to 25o,ooo bales, being
a complete loss of three-fourths of the crop.. . But Louisiana cotton growers did not lose heart
nor faith iii their own ability to achieve things, .and they promptly turned to the development
of other industries and to the diversification of agriculture. The State is the richer for ^heir
work and for the lesson they learned. t . t ? . . ? rt, r ?
The cotton growing region of the South rs not depe; uenf upon cotton, except where in
efficient farming operations concentrate all of t^ie energy of jw individual farmer upon cotton.
4f the cotton interests of the South have in them, the stamina of ihe people of Florida or of the
cotton growers of Louisiana, who never whinnied when i y lost three-fourth of their
crop, this section will quickly reassert the inherent qualities A Us people, will diversify its
agriculture,?will grow its own foodstuffs, and live at home, \- yd will push with renewed energy
every line of business and industrial activity.

The Manufacturers Record has faith eno> gh in tho situation to feel sure that this will
be the result, and that the outcome of the de- fine in ca ion will prove to be one of the
greatest m?terial blessings that has ever come io the So*
The South. Should remember that the aggregate value of its crops of corn and wheat
this year is within a few thousand dollars of ?he value of last year's cotton crop with seed.,
This year the South has among its farm products 970,994,000 bushels of corn, 166,225,000
bushels of wheat, 87,900,000 bushels of apples, 50,532,000 bushels of sweet potatoes, 35,
