attack so swift that no nation
can be safe in it's will for peace
so long as any other single
powerful nation refuses to settle
its grievances at the council
table.
Must Be Prepared
For, if any government
bristling with implements Of war
insists upon policies Of force,
weapons Of defense give the
only safety.
"A strong and united nation
may be destroyed if it is unpre-
pared against sudden attack"
The world and ourselves have
learned much in the past few
years in international relations,
he said. In military sense, and
also in an economic sense,
methods of procedure have been
revolutionized in the last 20 years
in the speed and timing of
attacks, which follows pre-
liminaries of propaganda, sub
sidized penetration, the stirring of
prejudice and incitement to dis
union"
In such a changed situation,
the President declared, God
fearing democracies which observe
the sanctity of treaties and good
faith. cannot safely be indif-
ferent to international lawlessness
anywhere"
Hint of Sanctions
There was a distinct hint of
economic sanctions against
aggressor nations in one portion
of Mr.. RooseVelt's message.
words may be futile" he
said, but war Is not the only
means of commanding a decent
respect for the opinions of man.
kind. There are many methods
short of war, but stronger and
more effective than mere words,
of bringing home to aggresSor
governments the aggregate
sentiments of our people,"
Under modern conditions, the
President said, adequate national
defense falls into three categorieS: {:
/. Armed forces and defenSeS
strong enough to ward off sud-
den attack.
2. Organization and strategic
location of key economic facil-
tiles capable of sustained sup
ply for the armed forces.
8. Social and economic unity
among the people themselves.
United Strength
Dictatorship, he continued, may
command the full strength of q
Iregimented nation, but in a democ-
racy united strength can only
be had when its people educated
by modern standards to know
what is going on and where they
are going, have conviction that
they are receiving as large a
share of material success and of
human dignity, as they have a
right to receive"
Our nations program Of
social and economic reform" he
said, 'is therefore a part of de-
fense as basic as ornaments
themselves.
To this end, he went on, in the
past six years administration policy
has been directed at conserving
natural resources, land, water,
power, forests; putting agriculture
on a sounder basis; strengthening
labor and industry, putting the
banking structure on a sounder
basis, providing youth with more
facilities for work and education,
improving the condition of the
aged-all designed to promote a
greater unity among the American
people.
I'VE have our difficulties,
true" he said, "but we are a
wiser and tougher nation than
we were in 1929, or 1882"

Sen. Glass, 81, Spends Birthday
Drafting NeW Banking Measure
Fiery Virginian
ShunS Ceremony,
Prefers Work
BY EDWARD B. LOCKETT
Copyright, 1899


QNS.) Carter Glass, Virginia S
tiny, red.haired senior Senator
is 81 years old today. and cele-
prateo his birthday anniversary
completing the draft of new and
startling banklng-reform legisla-
ton.
He is the oldest members of the
Senate, wears proudly and ro-
guishly the title of "Unrecon-
structed Rebel bestowed affec,
.ionaLely by President Roosevelt.
and wants no birthday folderol,
no speeches.
Senator Glass has been an arch
enemy of Government spending
through the New Deal recovery
programs, and only he knows
whether his replies to questions
about his birthday were play on
words.
BILL NEARLY READY
How do you plan to spend
your birthday, SENATOR" Inter.
national News Service asked.
Why" he retorted tartly,
I'm not going to spend it."
The new Glass banking bill will
be introduced within a few days.
This measure, drafted by the man
who fathered the Federal Reserve
system, will provide broadly:
/. A freezing" Of existing
bank holding companies with
drastic restrictions surrounding
them.
2. Absolute prohibition against
creation of any additional bank
holding companies.
WILL NOT ASK BAN
Glass did not call for outright
elimination of existing banking
holding companies because he felt
that would not be fair to them or
wise treatment Of the existing
banking structure. His bill will
carry administration support.
Glass and the Administration lead
ers have seen eye to eye on few
issues over the last several years,
and their agreement on this leg
lslation will not prevent the Vir-
ginian from fighting the New
Deal in this session Of Congress
on other issues.
Just now his opposition to the
Administration embraces practi-
cally everything outside his new
banking bill. He will fight for ear
marking of relief money, against
confirmation of a Judge appointed
from western Virginia by President
Roosevelt and particularly against
extension Of the Presidents power
to negotiate reciprocal trade
treaties - backbone of the New
Deal foreign policy. .z
HITS TREATY Law
Senator Glass talked over the
reciprocal trade treaty law-which
permits the President to negotiate
the treaties without Senate rati-
fication-with his old Republican
friend, Senator Borah, of Idaho,
then he observed:
"I have conferred with Sen
ator Borah on the constitution
ality Of the President putting a
treaty into effect without sub
mitting it to the Senate for rati-
fication. He agreed with me it's
unconstitutional"
The Senator's age has not q
whit cooled the fiery ardor with
which he espouses or fights an
issue. He has contended that
many New Deal laws were uncon-
Stitutional. AS new Senators
were sworn in at the opening OF
Congress, he observed laconically:
II wonder how many Of those
fellows perjured themselves
when they swore to uphold and
defend the Constitution"

U. S,TO FORTIFY
BACK DOOR AS
REPLY TO JAP AN
Congress Backs Huge
Expansion of Bases
By WILLIAM S. NEAL

G.N.S) The naval proposal for
fortification Of former forbidden"
Alaskan and Pacific areas, as well
as a huge naval air base program
on the Atlantic, was widely ap-
proved by preparedness-minded
members of Congress today.
The vast program for naval ex-
pansion, recommended by a spep
cial naval board headed by Rear
Admiral A. j. Hepburn, was re-
garded as Americas answer to
Japan's unrestricted naval build
ing program.
For IA years the United States
was bound by the Washington
treaty to refrain from fortifying
the slender Aleutian Islands, which
stretch out into Arctic seas toward
Japan, and other strategic Pacific
islands.
Campaign Resisted
Even though Japan denounced
the Washington treaty January l,
1885, the American Government
and the Navy have resisted the
drive of many members of Con-
gresS for extension of fortifica-
tionS.
The Hepburn report apparently
''bleW off the lid'-and the United
States now proposes to develop i'm.
pregnable naval defenSes in the
Pacific ocean.
While the ultimate cost, esti-
mated as high as 100000, 900,
caused some members of Congress
to urge caution, there appeared to
be general agreement that there
must be further expansion.
The House Naval Affairs Com
mittee, which reported the Vinson
naval expansion bill in the last
sessions, plans to give early con-
Sideration to the Hepburn report.
Delegate Anthony j. Dtmond Of
Alaska applauded the Hepburn
boards recommendation for the
building of fleet, air, and sub
marine bases in Alaska and on the
Aleutian Islands.
"Could Take Alaska"
"The United States agreed
upon the Washington treaty Of
1922 not to fortify the Aleutian
and other Pacific islands," he
said. But Japan destroyed the
treaty.
"As long as Japan builds with
out restriction, it is highly i'm.
portant that Alaska be defended.
Japan now could take Alaska
overnight, and then would have
base to attack the States,
only 700 miles away"
Representative Mas Of Mime
sofa, ranking Republican on the
House Naval Affairs Committee,
said:
IF we are going to defend the
United States, we've got to de-
fend our back door. It is abso-
lutely essential for adequate de-
fense. The Hepburn report calls
only for defense measures"
Some Opposition
Representative Church CR) Of
Illinois, who fought the Vinson ex.
pansion bill, said:
II am against any needless ex-
pansion. I think the public is
anxious for careful congressional
investigation of any expansion
program"
The Hepburn report was de-
clared by congressional naval stu
dents to be the most farreaching
expansion proposal submitted in
many years. Avoiding questions
of poIcy-leaving this to the Presl-
dent and the Congress-the board
of five naval officers merely listed
strategic necessities.
