Of Message
on Defense

WASHINGTON, Jan. %. up
Highlights of President RoOsevelt's
message on national defense:
g. IL is my duty to report
to congress that our national de-
fense is, in the light of the increas-
ing armaments of other nations,
inadequate for purposes of national
security and requires increase :"
adequate defense means that
for the protection not only of our
coasts but also of our communities
far removed from the coast, we
must keep away any potential enc
my many hundred miles away from
cur continental limits"
Armaments increase today
at an unprecedented and alarm
ing rate. 1t is an ominOus fact that
at least one fourth of the worlds
population is involved in merciless
conflict despite the fact that most
people in most countries, including
those where the conflict RACES,
wishes to live in peace"
g.. The time has come for the
congress to enact legislation aimed
at the prevention of profiteering
in time of war and the equaliza-
ton of the burdens of possible
war.
"It is our clear duty to further
every effort toward peace but at
the same time to protect our ma
ton such protection is and
will be based not on aggression but
on defense

National Defense
Held Inadequate
Vandenberg Calls
On Roosevelt for
Justification

WASHINGTON, Jan. %.
(UP) - Sen. Arthur Van
denberg, R., Mich, today
called upon President Roose-
welt to disclose "the justify
ing facts, if any for the big
gest budget for arms in our his
tory"
Vandenberg's critical reaction to
the presidents special message out
lining his program for expanded
national defense, was IL contrast
to the bulk of congressional re-
action which indicated there would
be only mild opposition to legiS-
lation carrying out Mr.. Roosevelt's
recommendations.
Vandenberg asked what are
these conditions which hazard our
security to an extent which de-
mands still more American arms?"
Chairman Sam D. McReynolds,
D., Tenn, of the house foreign al
fairs committee, said the United
States should have the best navy
OF anybody because it will do more
to keep us out of war than all the
neutrality bills we can pass
Other representative comment:
Speaker William B. Bankhead:
1t was an impressive message be-
cause of its simplicity of statement
and the moderation of the request.
Rep. Maury Maverick, D., Tex
We should do nothing until we as
certain our foreign policy-wheth-
er it is to be isolation, protection
of the western hemisphere, or COL
lective security, and must also de-
eide what national defense is
whether it means battleships 600
miles up the Yangtse river in Chi
ma or no further than Hawaii.
Minority Leader Bertrand H.
Smell, r., N. Y: I am willing to do
everything necessary for the Iull
and ample protection of our peo-
pie and country, but 1 am not at
all interested in anyones ambi-
ton to police the world
Majority Leader Sam Rayburn.
D., Tex: I think it's necessary
for our own safety and the peace
of the world that We have a strong
and efficient navy. 1 shall be glad
to support the presidents recon-
mendations.
Sen. Hiram w. Johnson, r., CAL
