Senator George CD of Georgia

OFF,sHoRE R E. D DEFENSE

Adequate defense means that
for the protection not only Of
our coasts but also Of our COM
munities far removed from the
coast, we must keep any po-
tential enemy many hundred
miles away from our continental
limits.
We cannot assume that our
defense would be limited to one
ocean and one coast and that
the other ocean and the other
coast would with certainty be
safe. We cannot be certain that
the connecting link-the Pana-
ma Canal-would be safe. Ade-
quate defense affects therefore
the simultaneous defense Of
every part of the United States
of America.
It is our clear duty to further
every effort toward peace, but,
at the same time, protect our
nation. That is the purpose Of
these recommendations. Such
protection is and will be based
not on aggression but on de-
fense.

Message on Defense


Following is the complete tea
OF the Presidents special messao
to Congress on national defense:
To the Congress of the United
States:
The Congress knows that for
many years this Government
has sought in many capitals
with the leaders of many gov
ernments to find a way to limit
and reduce ornaments and to
establish at least the probability
of world peace.
q The Congress is aware also
that while these efforts, sup
ported by the hopes of the
American people, continue and
will continue, they have never
theless failed up to the present
time.
SAFETY FIRST FACTOR
We, as a peaceful nation,
cannot and will not abandon
active search for an agreement
among the nations to limit
ornaments and end aggression.
But it is clear that until such
agreement is reached-and I
have not given up hope of it
we are compelled to think Of
our own national safety.
1t is with the deepest regret
that 1 report to you that arma-
ments increase today at an un-
precedented and alarming rate.
It is an ominous fact that at
least one-fourth of the worlds
population is involved in merc1-
less, devastating conflict in spite
of the fact that most people IN
most countries, including those
where conflict RACES, wish to
live at peace. Armies are fight
ing in the Far East and in
Europe; thousands of civilians
are being driven from their
homes and bombed from the
air. Tension throughout the
world is high.
DEFENSE INADEQUATE
AS Commander-in-C Chief Of the
Army and Navy of the United
States it is my constitutional
duty to report to the Congress
that our national defense is, in
the light of the increasing
ornaments of other nations, in
adequate for purposes Of ma
tional security and requires in
crease for that reason.
In spite of the wellknown
fact that the American. stand
ard o. living makes our ships.
our guns and our plares cost
more for construction than in
any other nation and that the
maintenance Of them and Of
our Army and Navy personnel is
more expensive than in any
other nation, it is also true that
the proportion of the cost of our
military and naval forces to the
total income Of our citizens or
to the total cost of our govern
ment is far lower than in the
case of any other great nation.
SPECIFIC REQUESTS
Specifically and solely be-
cause of the piling up OF. addi-
tional land and sea armaments
in other countries, in such man.
ner as to involve a threat to
world peace and security, I make
the following recommendations
to the Congress:
Cd That there be authorized
for the Army Of the United
States additions to antiaircraft
materiel in the sum of $4,000, 900
and that Of this sum $4,000, 900
be appropriated for the fiscal
year 1889.

and appropriated for the better
establishment Of an Enlisted

MESSAGE

G.NS) Mixed reaction greet
ed President Roosevelt's arma-
ments message to Congress today.
While Republicans and Demo
|crats pledged backing in the effort
to strengthen the nations defense,
Republicans generally asserted the
President had failed to make his
program clear.
Representative Smell of New
York, Republican House leader,
sounded a note of possible opposi-
ton by declaring opposition to
building a navy Ito police the
world"
ONLY 43 PRESENT
The Presidents message was
read to an almost empty House
chamber. Because the House met
an hour earlier than usual, only
43 MEMBERSHIPS than one-tenth
of the membership-were in their
seats when reading of the mes
sage by the clerk began. 1t was
received in silence except for a
few handclappings.
Additional comment included:
SPEAKER BANKHEAD:
1T was an impressive mes
sage because of its simplicity OF
statement and the moderation
of the request. The reasons
given for the recommendations
will meet the approval of the
American people in view of our
present international situation"
REPRESENTATIVE SMELL, Re
publican leader:
THE message was indefinite
in many ways, and do not
know just what the President
has in mind. If he can show
me actual need for expenditures
to strengthen our defense I am
for it, but if he has in mind
policing the entire world with
our ships and men, I am not
for it,"
McREYNOLDS VIEW
CHAIR MAN McREYNOLDS
CD of Tennessee, of the Foreign
Affairs Committee: +.
II think Congress will back
the program. I personally feel
that increase of naval strength
will come nearer keeping us out
of war in these troubled times
than anything else"
REPRESENTATIVE BACON
(R0 of New York:
Il think the message was
vague, and I am not sure
exactly what he means. How.
ever, 1 intend to support any
program which strengthens ma
tional defense, both as to the
Army and Navy"
CHAIRMAN VINSON CD of
Geogira, of the Naval Affairs Com
mittee:
II am satisfied the message
will meet with the approval of
the American people and Of
Congress"

ON COULEE Dam.
Only Two Bidders for
, Completing Project

UN.SO In the largest Govern
ment construction grant since
1881, Secretary of Interior Harold
L. Ickes today announced award
of a $34,442, ,240 contract to a
combination of contractors for
the completion of Grand Coulee
Dam on the Columbia River in
washington State.
Grand Coulee, a dam which
when completed will be $50 feet
high and threequarters Of mile
wide, will create a reservoir ISL
miles long.
MANY PURPOSES
1t will regulate the Columbia
River for the control Of floods,

will contain IS generators, each
Of 10000 kilowatts capacity.
Foundation of the dam was be-
gun in 1884 and has been con-
structed to an average height Of
1T feet above bedrock. Bids for
completion were opened December
10, last. Two tenders were re-
ceived at that time, that of the In
terror Construction Company, of
Oakland, Calf, and a second of
$42, lbs, ,802 from the Pacific In
structors, Inc, of Los Angeles. The
former concern, which won the
award at its low bid, is a combina-
ton Of 10 contracting concerns.
ONLY TWO RECEIVED
Commissioner of Reclamation
John C. Page recommended the
award provided these two bids, the
only ones received, were considered
sufficient to close the bidding.
Work must be started within 80
days of notification to proceed,
which will be issued by the Recla-
nation Bureau as soon as the
winning contract is filed. The
work must be finished within four
years.

It. was thought about As Senators
would be needed in jettison the
bitterly-fought anti-lynching bill.
Hopes of leading supporters for
passage of the measure were blast
ed when the Senate refused, 81

ern filibuster by invoking the
cloture or gag" rule.
Fighting doggedly against ap-
parently insurmountable odds,
Senator Robert F. Wagner tD0 of
New York, co-author of the bill,
grimly served notice he would
carry on" for passage Of the
measure.
With Administration leaders
convinced the bill cannot be
passed in the face of the filibuster
and determined it must soon be
disposed Of for consideration of
other measures, undercover nego-
tiating went on for sidetracking
votes.
Most Of the Republican Sen
ators who voted against limiting
debate, indicated they will vote
against laying the anti-lynching
bill aside. They defended their
vote against cloture on the ground
that, being a minority party, they
could not risk resort to that sell
dom used and drastic rule, for fear
they might some day have it ap-
piled on a measure distasteful to
them, ,-."

be modified. Senator La Toilette

keeping "an open mind" on the
issue.

nance Committee, which will
consider the revenue bill after
it is passed by tie House next

THE taxes on undistributed
profits and on capital gains
have not only had an adverse
effect on revenue for the Gov.

The Washington times., 1938-01-28
HITS PRoFITEERING

I believe also that the time
has come for the Congress to
enact legislation aimed at the
prevention of profiteering in
time Of war and the equaliza-
tion of the burdens of possible
war. Such legislation has been
the subject for many years Of
full study in this and previous
Congresses.
It is necessary for all of us to
realize that the unfortunate
world conditions of today have
resulted too often in the dis
carding of those principles and
treaties which underlie interna-
tional law and order, and in the
entrance of many new factors
into the actual conduct of war.

in artificial wool, with little waste.
American milk is not used so thor
oughly, yet few nations can boast
higher milk production than the
United States. Thus the possibili-
ties for American adoption of the
artificial wool process are tremen-
dous. Recent department of agri-
culture figures show that milk sur
pluses this year hit a new June
high, causing dairy prices to drop
to the lowest level in four years.
Resulted From Necessity.
The discovery of milk wool is only
two years old. Inventions which had
not passed beyond the laboratory
stage had been made before that
time, but the object had been to
produce artifcially a product re-
placing silk, the most highly con-
sidered fabric of animal origin. Ex-
perience has shown, however, that
artificial silk is. best produced of
cellulose, material of plant origin.
The process itself takes place in
plant closely resembling cream
cry. Milk is weighed and passed
through a heater into a Swimming
machine. Here the cream is sepa-
rated from the milk and by means
of sterilizing and refrigerating ap-
paratus is immersed in an acidifca-
ton vat, after which it is put into
mixing churn and moulded into pats
of butter.
The SKINNED milk then passes
into a curdling boiler where it is
treated by special chemical prod
ucts so that there is a coagulation
of the casein which is found in sus-
pension in the milk. The casein thus
collected is sent into the press filter
where the whey is eliminated.
The masses of casein are sent to
the curdling boiler to be washed.
The product is then dried and

Questions Answered

Mrs. A. c. B.-Dried fruits are
considered a good source of cal
cium.
Miss F. p. Ito explain what
is meant by "fiat sour" spoilage
in food: Some foods which lack
acid present a favorable medium
for the termination of spores.
They may become unfit to eat
without showing signs of spoilage
or having a noticeably sour taste
or odor. This condition is most
likely to occur with home canned
corn, peas, beets, pumpkin and
sweet potato that have not been
correctly processed. Commercial
ly canned foods are usually safe,
owing to the higher temperatures
used in their preparation.
