poured the poison of disloyalty into
the very arteries of our national life
who have sought to bring the auth
ority and good name of our country
into contempt, to destroy our indus
tries wherever they thought it eff
fective for their vincinditive purposes
to strike at them and to debase our
politics for the uses of foreign in
trigue. No federal laws exist to meet
this situation because of such thing
would have seemed incredible in the
past.
Must be Crushed Out
Such creatures of passion, dis
loyalty, and anarchy must be crush
ed out. They are not many, but they
are infinitely maglignant, and the
hand of our power should close over
them at once"
There was rapt attention through
out the members generally COM
mented favorably on the message.
Republicans, however, and some De-
mocrats opposed some of the presi-
dents suggestions for increasing re-
venues. His concluding suggestion,
relating to an inquiry into railroad
laws was received with interest, and
administration leaders already had
undertaken to carry out the proposal
THE transportation problem" the
president declared, lis an extremely
serious and pressing one in this coun-
try. There has from time to time of
late been reason to fear that our, rail-
roads would not much longer be able
to cope with 1t successfully, as at pre-
ssaV
Are the Laws SerViceabIe?
Il suggest that it would be wise to
provide for a commission of inquiry
to ascertain by thorough canvass of
the whole question whether our laws
as at present framed and administer
ed are as servlceable as they might be
in the solution of the problem"
Keen interest in the presidents ad-
dress was shown by the foreign re-
presentatjves in the diplomatic gal
larlGs, where every embassy and le-
cation We S represented. All appear
ed pleased with the message, and the |
latina expressed special |
qualification over the references to |
icanism.
1T was the clearest definition ever
made of this country's Pan-American
po!iov, said Eduardo Suarez-Mujica,
from Chile. Definitions
Of this policy and of the Monroe doc
trine have been made before, but they
have not been clear, have been, in
fact bit vague. Now the position
Of this country is made so clear that
none need be in doubt"
Will Find a Response. ~
DR. Eusebio A. Morales, Minister
Of Panama, said. rare
"The statements of President Will
son in reference to Pan-Americanism
md its true meaning will find an en-
.husiastic response in the whole con-
.inent and will make stronger the
les of brotherhood which now unite
he nations of America"

iident spoke was his financee, Mrs.
