limited STATES TO PROMOTE
PEACE AND NOT WAR" WILSON
Presider Delivers Message in Person TO Joint Assembly
of Congress. Answers Charges That the United
States is Not Prepared For National Defense With
Assurance That Uncle Sam Can Care For Himself

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. S.-Pres-
ident Wilson, in his annual address to
Congress today, gave his answer to
those who contended the United States
is unprepared for national defense.
Let there be no misconception," he
said, THE country has been misin-
formed. We have not been negligent
of national defense. We are not un-
mindful of the great responsibility
resting upon us. We shall learn and
profit by the lesson of every expert
ence and every new circumstance;
end what is needed will be adequately
done"
Assembled in joint session in the
hall of the House, Senators and Rep
resentatives heard the President, read
ing his address in person from the
clerks desk, outlining the administra-
tion legislative program and voice a
fervent hope that the United States
might be instrumental in bringing
peace to Europe The legislative pro-
gram includes passage of the conser-
vation bills, the bills for ultimate in
dependence of the Filippines, ratifca-
ton of the London convention for
safety at sea, a government owned
merchant marine, charting the peril
Gus waters of the Alaskan coast and
measures for economy in all branches
of the government.
Discusses National Defense.
But the portion of the Presidents
address which commanded intense in
terest was that in which he discussed
the subject of national defense.
1T is said in some quarters that we
are not prepared for war; said the
President What is meant by being
prepared? Is it meant that we are
not ready upon brief notice to put a
nation in the field, nation of men
trained to arms? OF course we are not
ready to do that; and we shall never
be in time of peace so long as we re-
tain our present political principles
and institutions. And what is it that
is suggested we should be prepared to
do? To defend ourselves against at
tack? We have always found means to
do that, and shall find them whenever
it is necessary without calling our
people away from their necessary

GOETHE PROPHESIED
PANAMA CUT In 1927
Great German Poet and Philosopher
Predicted United States Would
Build Canal.

That away back in 1897 Goethe. the
great German pOet-phlosopher. predict
ed that the United States would some
day build a canal at Panama. was
pointed out yesterday by Fred J. Braen-
die. of los Nineteenth street northwest
Mr. Braendle also called attention TO
the fact that Alice ID. Raukhagc wrote a
poem in 1896 about Goethe's prophecy
~ called it Panama FOrcshadowed."
In his Conversations with Goethe,
Eckermann says in part:
Humboldt. said Goethe. has. with
great knowledge Of lis subject. given
other points where. by making use of
some streams which flow into the Gulf
of Mexico. the end may he perhaps better
attained than at Panama. All this is re-
served for the future and for an enter
pTising spirit. So much, however, is GER
tain, that. if they succeed in cutting such
a canal that ships = any burden and
size cal be navigated through il from the
Mexican Gulf 10 the Pacific Ocean, in
Vulnerable benefits would result to the
whole human ce, civilized and uncivil-
lied.
:" But I should wonder II the United
States were to let an opportunity escape
of getting such a work into their own
hands. 1t may be foreseen that this
young state. with Is decided predilection
to the West will. in thirty or forty
years. have occupied and peopled the
large tract ( land beyond the Rocky

May ASK COLOMBIA To
REPEAL ANTE-U. S. LAWS
Secretary Bryan Told of Discrimina-
ton Against American Engineers
in Harbor Improvements.
SHOWS ANTI-AMERICAN SPIRIT

Agitation over. certain anti-American
legislation enacted by Colombia has been
brought to the attention of Secretary OF
State Bryan and may result in steps be-
ing taken to bring about its repeal.
The law in question is one passed in
November. 1872. in regard to surveys for
improvements in the harbors of Carta-
gena and Buenaventura. and which con-
taincd the stipulation that the contract
should be let TO sCmc European COM
pany. thus making il impossible for any
American engineering firm to participate
in the work. The action of the congress
was an outCroppinS Of the anti-AmcriCan-
ism cngendered i'm Colombia in 1906 as a
result Cf the State of Panama achieving
independence.
Now that Colombia and the United
States arc cndeavoring to negotiate a
settlement of the Panama controversy. It
is declared quite incompatible with the
avowed friendly attitude of that govern
ment to permit such discriminatory lcgis-
Iation to remain IN the statute books
On behalf of Colombia. il is explained
that the internal political situation is
such that the Colombian government is
not in 4 position just now to do every
thing that il might like to please the
United States and prevent manifestations
OF the popular anti-American spirit. The
congress. it is said. is now. as IN the
past. beyond the control Of the govern
ment.
This view of the situation has been pre-
scented to the State Department. and is
given as one Of the reasons why steps
have not yet been taken To demand the
repeal Cf the offensive legislation.
While Mr.. Bryan said today that he had
heard of the law in question. but had
never seen it. other officials were found
TO he quite familiar with its provisions.

M'CUMBER Is CENTER
OF SPIRITED DEBATE
Controversy Ensues When He Presses
Consideration of the Grain
Standardization Bill.

There was a sharp controversy in the
Senate yesterday over an order made in
the executive session late Thursday aft
ernoon on motion OF Senator McCumber,
of North Dakota. that the bill creating
standards OF grain and providing for Fed
eral inspection be made the unfinished
business.
1t appeared yesterday that Senator Nc
Cumbcr had given notice several days
ago he would move to proceed to the
consideration of his bill as soon as the
woman suffrage resolution was disposed
Of But apparently Senators were taken
unawares when Senator McCumber made
his motion in the executive session. and
IL was agreed to.
An effort was made to induce Senator
McCumber to agree to A reconsideration
of the motion by which his bill was made
the unfinished business, but the matter
was not disposed of yesterday and was
before the Senate until late in the after
noon, when the executive session was
called.
Senator McCumber said his bill had
been before the Senate ten years and all
he asked was a vote. He reminded Sena-
tors that he had labored five years to
get a vote on the pure food bill, Of which
he was the author. but that great bust
ness interests of the country were suf-
iciently powerful with the Senate to de-
lay the vote. When it came there were
only three votes against it.
