OF NATION IS THEME OF WILSON'S MESSAGE

stacle standing In the way OF the
building, purchase and American re-
gistration of ships should be removed
and the government should undertake.
to open routes, especially between the
two American continents When the
risk has passed and private capital
begins to find its way into these new
channels, he added, the government
may withdraw.
The president told congress that
proposals would be made during the
coming session for the purchase or
construction of ships to be owned
and directed by the government. The
measure, he said, would be similar
to that submitted to the last congress,
but modified in some essential parti-
culaTs.
In outlining the financial condition
of the government, the president fol-
lowed closely the statement recently
given out by Secretary McAdoo. He
said that the additional revenue re-
quired to carry out the program OF
military and naval preparation would
be $93S00 900 for the fiscal year of
1917: that if the present taxes were
continued throughout this year and
the next there would be balance in
the treasury of about $76,000.000 at
the end of the present fiscal year and
deficit at the end of the next year
of some $4,000, 900 reckoning in
$62, 100000 for deficiency appropria-
tions.
Proposing that the new bills should
be paid by internal taxation, the
president suggested that by lowering
the present limits of income eNemp-
| ton and the figure at which the sur
/ tax is imposed, and by increasing
step by step throughout the present
| graduation, the surtax itself income
taxes as at present apportioned would
| yield sums sufficient to balance the
books of the treasury at the end OF
| the fiscal year 1917 without any
where making a burden unreasonably
heavy. He added that there were
many additional sources of revenue
which Justly could be resorted L
without hampering the industries o
the country or putting any too grea
charge upon individual expenditure
He estimated that a one cent taN
per gallon on gasoline and napthi
would yield $10,000,000; a tax of 81
, cents per horsepower on AUTOMOBILES
and internal explosion engines, SIS
600 900; a stamp tax on bank checks
probably $1S,O0O,O00 and tax OF D
per cent per ton on fabricated iron AM
( steel. probably $10,000000.
The president said there was res
son to hope that no question in cor
troyersy between this and other GOV
! ernments would lead to any seriou
: breach of amicable relations, and tina

country whether they responded to
such a call to service or not, said
the president 1T would depend up
on the patriotic spirit Of the employ
ers Of the country whether they made
ii possible for the younger men in
their employ to respond under favor
able conditions or not /, for one, do
not doubt the patriotic devotion either
of our young men or of those who
give them employment those for
whose benefit and protection they
would in fact enlist. would look
forward to the success OF such an
experiment with entire confidence
Outlining the details of the navy
plan presented by Secretary Daniels,
the president said that lit involves
only a shortening OF the time within
which plans long matured shall be
carried out, but 1t does make a de-
finite and explicit program which
has heretofore been only implicit, held
in the minds of the committees on
naval affairs and disclosed in the de-
bates OF the two houses but nowhere
formulated or formally adopted.
II seems to me very clear that il will
be to the advantage of the country
for the congress to adopt compre-
hensive plan for putting the navy up
on a final footing of strength and effi-
cheney and to press that plan TO com
pIetion within the next five years
The president said that in order
to secure national set-effiCiency and
selfsecurty the country must have a
/ merchant marine.
/ For it is question of indepen
( dence," he asserted IF other ma
4 tons 90 to war or seek to hamper
each others commerce, our merchants
/ It seems, are at their mercy, TO do will
as they please. We must use theil
ships, and use them as they deter
mine. Our independence is proyin
cial. and It is only on land and with
in our own borders. We are not like
~ TO be permitted to use even tn
ships OF other nations in rivalry o
their own trade, and are withou
means 10 extend our commerce eve
where the doors are wide open an
our goods desired. Such situation
is not TO be endured Il is of capita
importance not only that the Unite
States should be its own carrier o
the seas and enjoy the economic u
d dependence which only an adequat
merchant marine would give 1t, bu
! also that the American hemispher
j. as a whole should enjoy a like il
dependence and self-sufficiency, II

threats against national peace and
safety has been uttered within the
country's own borders.
There are citizens of the United
States, | blush to admit" he declared
born under other flags but welcomed
under our generous naturalization
laws to the full freedom and oppor-
tunity of America, who have poured
the poison of disloyalty INTO the very
arteries Of our national life; who have
sought to bring the authority and
good name of our government into
contempt, to destroy our industries
wherever they thought It effective for
their vindietiye purposes, to strike at
them and to debase our politics to
the uses of foreign intrigue"
No federal laws exist to meet this
situation, said Mr. Wilson, because
such thing would have seemed in
credible in the past Such creatures
of passion, disloyalty and anarchy
he added, must be crushed out. They
are not many, but they are infinitely
maligment and the hand OF our power
should close over them at once"
Turning again to military questions,
the president said he might find 1t
advisable to call into systematic con
sultation with the directing officers of
| the army and navy. men of recognized
ability who are familiar, for example,
with the transportation facilities of
| the country and therefore competent
| to advise how they nay be co-ordinat-
ed when the need arises, those who
can suggest the best way to bring
about prompt cooperation among the
| manufacturers, and those who could
| assist to bring the technical skill of
| the country to the aid or the govern
| ment in the solution of problems of
defense. He said he might later ask
congress for an appropriation to de
fray the expenses of such work
The president told the members he
might address them again later on
commercial conditions about which
much legislation has been passed and
which are likely to change rapidly
after the war when the nations OF
Europe again take up their task OF
commerce and industry The most
that can be done now, he said, is tC
make sure that the necessary instru
, mentalities are at hand for securing
adequate information.
Regarding the railroads, the presi
dent said there had been reason t.
fear that they could not cope mucl
longer with the transportation pro
} blem, and suggested it would be wis'
) to provide for a commission of in
quiry to ascertain whether the law
as at present framed and administer
ed were as seryiceable as they nigh
/ be in the solution of the problem. II
said that the regulation or the raj
: roads by federal commission has ha
+ admirable results and the questio
Z was whether there was anything els

LARGE CARGO OF
MUNITIONS ON BOARD
STEAMER PUTTING TO HALL
FAX; CAPTAIN SAYS FIRE
CAUSED BY EXPLOSION
(By Associated Press.)

New York, July S.-The steamship
Minnehaha on her way from this
port to London, is fighting fire in
her hold, according to wireless
message.
Her cargo is of fifteen thousand
tons, including large quantities Of
munitions for the allied armies.
The vessel carries no passengers
but has a crew OF one hundred and
five
The wireless says the Minnehaha
is 20 miles southeast of Halifax and
Is putting back.
The fire was caused by an explos-
ION, according to wireless from the
captain.
He said the blaze has been MASTER
ed.
The authorities are speculating on
the connection with Frank Hollis plot
70 blow up steamers.
The captains message reads:
"The fire was caused by an explos-
Ion. 1t is now under control by suf-
location and steam. There is much
smoke in the holds. ut is expedient
that we make Halifax"
