Complete text of President
ROOSevelt'S rearmament mes
sage on Page 2.
BY GEORGE R. HOLMES


Q.N.S.) While there is not
even a remote" thought of the
United States engaging in war on
any foreign territory, President
Roosevelt asked Congress today
for an emergency appropriation
of $525 100000 to put the country
in a position of preparedness to
resist any aggression.
In his annual message week
ago, President Roosevelt asked for
81, 1,126, 100000 for national de-
fense. The additional half bill
lion asked today would make the
national defense budget for the
year 1851 ,0OO,OOO-the greatest
in peacetime history.
300 Million for Planes
The greater part of this emer-
gency appropriation, or three hun
dred million dollars, the Presi-
dent said, should go for airplanes.
This should provide" his mes
sage stated, "for a minimum of
5000 planes, but it is hoped that
orders placed on such a large
scale will materially reduce the
unit cost and actually provide
many more planes"
AS in his annual message. the
President emphasized that chang
ing world conditions necessitate
a reconstruction of American de-
fense problems.
He recalled that from the start
of American participation in the
World War, April 6, 1917, until
the end of May, 1918, the Ameri-
can forces took no part in any
major engagement. Even as late
as the autumn of 1918, he re-
minded, erican armies in
France were still using French and
British equipment.
Lesson of Last War
Calling attention to these
facts" he continued, docs not
remotely intimate that the Con-
gress or the President have any
thought of taking part in an
other war on European soil, but
it does show that in 1917 we were
not ready to conduct large scale
land or air operations.
Relatively we are not much
more ready to do so today than
we were then-and we cannot
guarantee a long period free
from attack in which we could
prepare.
Il repeat that there is a new
range and speed to offense.'"
Estimates Revised
Careful examination of the
most imperative present needs"
he said led him to propose the
