Wants Aeronautics Bureau
In the Navy Department

| recommend the enactment of
legislation establishing a bureau Of
aeronautics in the Navy Department
to centralize the control of naval ac-
tiyities in aeronautics, and removing
the restrictions on the personnel de-
tailed to aviation in the navy.
The army air service should be
continued as q coordinate combatant
OF the army and its existing organi-
zation utilized in cooperation with
other agencies of the government in
the establishment of national trans
continental airways and in coopera-
ton with the states in the establish
ment of local airdromes and landing
fields.
The American people expect Con-
gress unfailingly to voice the
gratitude of the Republic in a gen
erous and practical way to its de-
tenders in the World War who need
the supporting arm of the govern
ment. Our very immediate concern
is for the crippled soldiers and those
deeply needing the helping hand of
government. Conscious of the gen.
erous intent of Congress and the
public concern for the crippled and
dependent, l invited the services of
a volunteer committee to inquire
into the administration of the
Bureau of War Risk Insurance, the
Federal Board for Vocational Train
ing and other agencies of govern
ment III caring for the ex-soldiers,
sailors and marines of the World
War. This committee promptly re-
ported the chief difficulty to be the
imperfect organization of govern
mental effort, the same lack of CO.
ordination which binders government
efficiency in many undertakings, less
noticed because the need -or prompt
service is less appealing
One Directing Head Wanted
For Veterans Aid Bureaus
This committee has recommended,
and | convey the recommendation
to you with cordial approval. that all
government agencies looking to the
welfare Of the ex-service men
should be placed under one direct
ing head, SO that the welfare of
these disabled saviors of our civili-
cation and freedom may have the
most efficient direction. 1t may be
we'll to make such an official the
director general of service to war
veterans, and place under his direc-
tion all specialization, vocational
training, war insurance, rehabilita-
ton and all pensions.
The immediate extension and utili-
cation of the government hospital
facilities in army and navy will
bring relief to the acute conditions
most complained Of, and the hospital
building program may be worked out
to meet the needs likely to be urgent
ut the time Of possible completion.
!. The whole program requires the
most thoughtful attention of Con-
gress, for we are embarking on tho
performance OF a sacred obligation
which involves the expenditure of
billions in the half century before
Us. Congress must perfect the
| policy of generous gratitude and
conscientious administration must
stamp out abuses in the very begin
| ming. We must strengthen rather

Favors Association Of
Nations Conceived in Peace

The American aspiration, indeed
the worl1 aspiration, was an associa-
ton of nations based upon the appli-
cation CT justice and right, binding
us in conference and cooperation for
the prevention of war and pointing
the way to q higher civilization and
international fraternity in which all
the world might share. In rejecting
the league covenant and uttering that
rejection to eur own people and to
the world we make no surrender Of
our hope and aim for an association
to promote peace in which We would
most heartily join. We wish it TO be
conceived in peace and dedicated to
peace and will relinquish no effort
to bring the nations OF the world
into such fellowship, not in the sur
render Of national sovereignty, but
rejoicing in nobler exercise OF 1t
in the advancement of human activi-
ties, amid the compensations OF
peaceful achievement.
In the national referendum 10
which / have adverted we pledged
our efforts toward such association.
and the pledge VIII be faithfully
kept. in the plight of policy and
performance we told the American
people we meant To seek an early
establishment OF peace The Tn ted

associated powers continues III
technical state Of war against the
Central Powers of Europe This
anomalous condition ought not to be
permitted to continue. To establish
the state of technical peace without
further delay ! should approve
declaratory resolution by Congress
to that effect, with the qualifications
essential to protect all our rights.
Such action would be the simplest
keeping Of faith with ourselves, and

sal, but it is very near it. There is
nothing the Congress can do more
effectively to end this shocking waste
than condition all Federal aid on
provisions for maintenance. High
ways, no matter how generous the
outlay for construction, cannot be
maintained without patrol and con-
slant repairs. Such conditions in
sisted upon in the grant of Federal
aid will safeguard the public which
pays and guard the Federal govern
ment against political abuses, which
tend to defeat the very purposes for
which we authorize Federal expendi-
ture.
Linked with rail and highway is the
problem of water transportnti
land, coastwise and transoceanic 1t
is not possible on this occasion to
suggest to Congress the additional
legislation needful to meet the as
pirations. of our people for a mcr-
chant marine. In the emergency of
war we have constructed a tonnage
equaling our largest expectations.
Its war cost must be discounted to
the actual values of peace and the
large difference charged to the war
emergency, and the pressing task is
to turn our assets in tonnage to an
agency of commerce.

though some phases OF them are in

relations. The surest procedure in
every government is to put its own
house in order.
know Of no more pressing prob

tioral expenditures within the limits
OF our national income and at the
same time measurably lift the bur
aens Of war taxation from the
shoulders Of the American people.

economy is much employed cry,
most frequently stressed in pre-
election appeals, but it is ours to
make il an outstanding and ever
imnelling purpose in both legislation
and administration. The unrestrained
tendency TO needless expenditure
and the attending growth of public
indebtedness, extending from Fed
eral authority to that of state and
Hcipalisy and including the
smallest political subdivision, con-
stitute the most dangerous phase Of
government to-day. The nation can
not restrain except in It's own activi-
ties. but it can be exemplar in

Members of the Congress:
You have been called in extraordi-
nary session to give YOUR considera-
.;on TO national problems far too
messing to be long neglected. We
faee ctr tasks of legislation and
administration amid conditions as
difficult as our government has ever
contemplated. Under our political
system the people Of the United
States have charged the new Con-
cress and the new Administration
with the solution --- the readjust-
ments. reconstruction and restora-
lion which must follow in the wake
Of war.
It may be regretted that we were
50 i'll prepared for wars aftermath,
50 little made ready to return to the
wsvs OF peace. but we are not to be
discouraged. Indeed. we must be the
more firmly resolved to undertake
our work with high hope and invite
every factor in our citizenship to
Join in the effort 10 find our normal,
onward way again.
The American people have ap-
praised the situation, and with that
tolerance ard patience which go
with understanding they will give
10 Us the influence Of deliberate
public opinion, which ultimately be-
comes the edict CT any popular gov
eminent They are measuring some
Of the stern necessities and will join
in the give and take which is SO
essential to firm establishment.

u. S. Means to Maintain
Great Merchant Marine

1t is not necessary to say it to
Congress, but | have thought this to
be BETTING occasion to give notice
that the United States means to
establish and maintain a great mer-
chant marine.
Our differences of opinion as to a
policy of upbuilding have been re-
moved by the outstanding fact of our
having builded. If the intelligent
and efficient administration under
the existing laws makes established
service impossible the Executive will
promptly report to you. Manifestly
if our laws governing American ac-
tivities on the seas are such as to
give advantage to those who compete
with US for the carrying of our
own cargoes and those which ought
naturally come in American bottoms
through trade exchanges, then the
spirit of American fair play will
assert itself to give American car
riers their equality Of opportunity.
