prOhteering in several branches Of in- dustry, it still runs impudeptly ram pant in others. The farmers, for ex- ample, complain, with great deal of justice, that, while the regulation of food prices restricts their incomes, no restraints are placed upon the prices of most of things they must them selves purchase. and similar inequities obtain on all sides.
 Utilize Natural Resources.
 It is imperatively necessary that the consideration of the full use of the wa terpower of the country and also of the consideration of the systematic and yet economical development of such of the natural resources of the country as are still under the control of the federal government should be immediately resumed and affirmative ly and constructively dealt with at the earliest possible moment. The press ing need of such legislation is daily becoming more obvious.
 The legislation proposed at the last session with regard to regulated combinations among our exporters in order to provide for our foreign trade a more effective organization and method of cooperation ought by all means to be completed at this ses- sion.
 And beg that the members of the house of representatives will permit me to express the opinion that it will be impossible to deal in any but a very wasteful and extravagant fash ion with the enormous appropriations of the public moneys which must continue to be made if the war is to be properly sustained unless the house will consent to return to its former practice of initiating and pre- pairing all appropriation bills through a single committee in order that re- Gponsibility may be centered, expend- itures standardized and made uni form and waste and duplication as much as possible avoided.
 Additional legislation may also be- come necessary before the present Congress again adjourns in order to effect the most efficient coordination and operation of the railway and othe" transportation systems of the country but to that 1 shall, if circumstances should demand, call the attention of eAe Congress upon another occasion. { If I have overlooked anything that ought to be done for the more ef fective conduct of the war your own , counsels will supply the omission What I am perfectly clear about is that in the present session of the Con. gress our whole attention and energy should be concentrated on the vigor ous. rapid and successful prosecution of the great task of winning the war.
 Striking at Our Very Existence.
 We can do this with all the greater zeal and enthusiasm because we know that for use this is war of high prin- ciple, debased by no selfish ambition of conquest or spoliation; because we know. and all the world knows, that we have been forced into it to save the very institutions we live under from corruption and destruction. The purposes of the Central Powers strike straight at the very heart of every thing we believe in; their methods Of warfare outrage every principle of hu- manity and of knightly honor; their intrigue has corrupted the very thought and spirit of many of our peo- cy has sought to take our very terri tory away from us and disrupt the union of the states.

purposes Ol the central POWerS Strlke straight at the very heart of every thing we believe in; their methods of warfare outrage every principle of hu- manity and of knightly honor; their intrigue has corrupted the very thought and spirit of many of our peo- pie; their sinister and secret diploma cy has sought to take our very terri tory away from us and disrupt the union of the states. Our safety would be at an end, our honor forever sullied and brought into contempt were we to permit their triumph. They are strik- ing at the very existence of democra- cy and liberty.
 It is because 1t is for us a war of high, disinterested purpose, in which all the free peoples of the world are banded together for the vindication of right, war for the preservation of our nation, of all that it has held dear of principle and of purpose, that we feel ourselves doubly constrained to propose for its outcome only that which is righteous and of irreproach- able intention, for our foes as we'll as for our friends. The cause being just and holy, the settlement must be of like motive and equality. For this we can fight, but for nothing less no ble or less worthy of our traditions. For this cause we entered the war, and for this cause we will battle until the last gun is fired.
 Time to Speak Plainly.
 have spoken plainly because this seems to me the time when it is most necessary to speak plainly in order that all the world may know that even in the heat and arduous ardor of the struggle and when our whole thought is of carrying the war through to its end we have not for gotten any ideal or principle for which the name of America has been held in honor among the nations and for which it has been our glory to contend in the great generation that went before us. A supreme moment of history has come. The eyes of the people have been opened, and they see. The hand of God is laid upon the nations. He will show them fla vor, I devoutly believe, only if they rise to the clear heights of his own Justice and mercy.
