The transportation problem is an exceedingly serious and pressing one in this country. There has from time to time of late been reason to fear that our railroads would not much longer be able to cope with it successfully, as at present equipped and co-ordained. suggest that it mission of inquiry to ascertain by a thorough canvass of the whole QueRN tion whether our. laws as at presenN framed and administered are as serv- iceable as they might be in the solu- tion of the problem. It is obviously a tion of our efficiency as people. Such an inquiry ought to draw out every circumstance and opinion worth con. sidering and we need to know all sides of the matter if we mean to do any, thing in the field of federal legislation.
 Regulation of Railroads.
 No one, l am sure, would wish to take any backward step. The regula- tion of the railways of the country by federal commission has had admirable results and has fully justified the hopes and expectations of those by whom the policy of regulation was originally proposed. The question is not what should we undo? It Is, whether there is anything else we can do that would supply us with effective means, in the very process of regula- tion, for bettering the conditions un- der which the railroads are operated and for making them more useful serv- ants of the country as whole. It seems to me that it might be the part of wisdom, therefore, before further legislation in this field is attempted, to look at the whole problem of co-ordina- tion and efficiency in the full light of a fresh assessment of circumstance and opinion, as guide to dealing with the several parts of it.
 For what we arc seeking now, what in my mind is the single thought of this message, is national efficiency and security. We serve great nation. We should serve 1t in the spirit of it's peculiar genius. It is the genius of common men for self-government, in- dustry, justice, liberty and peace. We should see to it that 1t lacks no instru. ment. no facility or vigor of law, to make it sufficient to play it's part with energy. safety and assured success. In this we are no partisans but ,herslds and prophets of a new age.

ought to be easy to distribute the bur. dens of taxation without making them anywhere bear too heavily or too ex- clusively upon any one set of persons or undertakings. What is clear is. that the industry of this generation should pay the bills of this generation. < l. have spoken to you today. gentle men, upon single theme, the thor ough preparation of the nation to care for it's own security and to make sure of entire freedom to play the impartial role in this hemisphere and in the world which we all believe to have been providentially assigned to it. 1 have had in my mind no thought of any immediate or particular danger arising out of our relations with other nations. We are at peace with all the nations of the world, and there is reason to hope that no question in controversy between this and other governments will lead to any serious breach of amicable relations, grave as some differences of attitude and policy have been and may yet turn out to be. l am sorry to say that the gravest threats against our national peace and safety have been uttered within our own borders. There are citizens of the United States, I blush to admit, 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 fife; 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 vindictiye purposes to strike at them, and to debase. our politics to the uses of foreign Intrigue. Their number is not great as compared with the whole number of those sturdy hosts by which our nation has been enriched ill recent generations out of virile foreign stocks; but it is great enough to have brought deep disgrace upon us and to have made it neces. sary that we should promptly make
 
 use of processes of law by which we may be purged of their corrupt dis. tempers. America never witnessed like this before. It never dreamed it possible that men sworn into its own citizenship, men drawn out of great free stocks such as SUD- piled some of the best and strongest elements of that little, but how heroic. nation that in high day of old staked it's very life to free itself from every entanglement that had darkened the fortunes of the older nations and set up a new standard here-that men of such origins and such free choices of allegiance would ever turn ID malign reaction against the govern ment and people who had welcomed and nurtured them and seek to make this proud country once more not

bed or European passion. A little while ago such thing would have seemed incredible. Because it was incredible we made no preparation for it. We would have been almost ashamed to prepare for it, as if we were suspicious of ourselves, our own comrades and neighbors! But the ugly and incredible thing has actual ly come about and we are without adequate federal laws to deal with 1t. l urge you to enact such laws at the earliest possible moment and feel that in doing so l am urging you to do nothing less than save the honor and self-respect of the nation. Such crea- lures of passion, disloyalty, and an- archy must be crushed out. They are not many, but they are infinitely malignant, and the hand of our power should close over them at once. They have formed plots to destroy property they have entered into conspiracies against the neutrality of the govern ment, they have sought to pry into every confidential transaction of the government in order to serve interests alien to our own. It is possible to deal with these things very effectually. I need not suggest the terms in which they may be dealt with.
 Arc Disgrace to the Nation.
 I wish that 1t could be said that only a few men, misled by mistaken sentiments of allegiance to the govern ments under which they were born, had been guilty of disturbing the self possession and misrepresenting the temper and principles of the country during these days of terrible war. when 1t would seem that every man who was truly an American would instinctively make it his duty and his pride to keep the scales of judgment even and prove himself partisan of no nation but his own. But it cannot There are some men among us, and many resident abroad who, though born and bred in the United States and calling themselves Americans. have so forgotten themselves and their honor as citizens as to put their passionate sympathy with one or the other side in the great European con. tlict above their regard for the peace and dignity of the United States. They also preach and practice disloyalty. No laws, I suppose, can reach cor ruptions of the mind and heart; but should not speak of others without also speaking of these and expressing the even deeper humiliation and scorn which every self-possessed and thoughtfully patriotic American must feel when he thinks of them and of. the discredit they are daily bringing upon us.
 While we speak of the preparation of the nation to make sure of her security and her effective power we must not fall into the patent error of supposing that her real strength comes from ornaments and mere safe guards of written law.
 What is more important is, that the industries and resources of the coun- try should be available and ready for mobilization. --
