Congress to do. l referred to all the
people OF the United States as the Pres
idcnt's audience because everyone in
this country, and many people in the
European and South American countries
were anxious to learn what Mr.. Wilson
had to say and were listening with
their eyes to the newspapers the day
the message was delivered"
Perhaps the most important part of
the message was what the President
said about increasing the size OF the
army and navy, and the hope he eX-
pressed that the United States and the
republics of Central America and South
America would become even more
friendly than they had been In the past
more like brother nations. and that
Congress should do everything in it's
power to increase this friendly feeling.
Now. about the army and navy.
The President recommended to Com
gress that the regular United States
army be increased from 107. 900 men
and officers to 1888, and that a
sort OF volunteer army of trained Cit
iZens be raised. The plan for this
latter army is that 1873, 900 soldiers be
raised each year. for three years
making a total OF 400, 900 men. in 1918
