THE KINGSTON DAILY FREEMAN, KINGSTON, N. WEDNESDAY EVENING, A A i i F.DJJ. Pleads for Unity and Taxes (Continued From Paje One) entangling foreign alliances. The present President of-the United States subscribes to and follows that precept. "But trade cooperation with the rest of the world does' not violate that precept in any way." At that point, Mr.

Roosevelt made a to the defense portions of his speech: "Even as through these trade agreements we prepare to cooperate in. a world that wants must likewise be prepared to take care of ourselves if the world cannot attain peace," he said. "For several years past we have been compelled to strengthen. our own national defense. That has created a very large portion of our treasury deficits.

"This year in the light of: continuing uncertairiry, I am asking the congress for army and navy increases, wjhich are based not on panic but on common sense. They are not as great as enthusiastic alarmists seek. They are and maintain the policy of the good-neighbor with its sister nations." In almost every countrv there is a true public belief that the United States has been, and will continue to be, "a potent and active factor in seeking the reestablish- mect of peace." "In these recent years," he said. "we have had a clean record of peace and good-wilL It is an open book that cannot be twisted or defamed. It is a record that must be continued and enlarged.

"As will appear in the annual budget tomorrow," the- President said, "the only important increase in' any part of the budget is the estimate-for national defense.

"Therefore, in hope that we can continue 'these days of increasing economic prosperity to reduce the federal deficit, I am asking the congress to levy "sufficient additional taxes to meet -the emergency spending for national defense." general welfare- of the people, Mr. Roosevelt asserted, lies behind the army and navy as the ultimate line of defense.

Can Understand Feelings He said'he could understand the feelings of those who warn they would never consent again to the sending of American- youth to fight on Europe's soil and added: as I remember, nobody has asked them to consent--for nobody expects such an undertaking. The overwhelming, majority of our fellow citizens do not abandon in the slightest their hope and expectation that the United States will not become involved in military participation in the war." Several times, however, the.

President observed that this country could, not help feel the impact of the wars abroad. That impact he said at the start of his message, makes it natural to approach the state of the union" through a discussion of foreign affairs. We still believe with the framers- of 'the constitution, the chief executive stressed, that "our best defense is the promotion of pur general welfare and domestic tranquility." "You 'are well aware," he said, that dictatorship--and the philosophy of force which justifies and accompanies dictatorships-- have originated in almost every case in the necessity for drastic action to unprove internal conditions where democratic action for one reason or another has failed to respond to modern needs and modern That was one of several references to dictators. Near the conclusion of his address, touching on the same subject, the President said?

1 Meets at-Xop'n'. Washington, Jan. 3" first, congress of the new decade unified on keeping the United' States but. of Europe's wars, but widely divided over half a dozen domestic issues, convened at noon today to hear.Pre'sident Roosevelt's annual message and begin- -the ticklish task of law-jnaking in a pfesidental" election year. There" were indications the administration would avoid raising controversial questions.

But most signs pointed toward a lengthy session, made eventful by dashes over the reciprocal trade treaty program, federal spending, the Wagner Labor Act, defense and similar home-1 grown issues. While" outlining the domestic situation in broad strokes Mr. Roosevelt, scheduled to appear be- i fore a joint session in the big i House 'chamber in early afternoon,) was expected to deal primarly; with conditions abroad and Amef-1 ica's relation to them. As the hour for the session to start drew near, both chambers began filling with members. Garner Calls for Order The noise of their conversation! and laughter finally was cut short when Vice-President Garner smartly rapped the Senate to order and Speaker Bankhead banged the House into silence.

Senators then stood with bowed heads while the Rev. Ze Barney T. Phillips, chaplain, prayed and similar House service was held un- i der guidance of the Rev. James I Shera Montgomery, House chaplain. Both bodies ti.

went through the motions of formally notifying President Roosevelt and each other in session--and then, except for swearing in three new representatives, there remained little to do except wait for the President. 'Well before noon Garner, in a i cutaway coat, posed gavel upraised on the platform at the front of the Senate chamber. In a bit of horseplay preceding the convening of the House, capitol and metropolitan police stopped Speaker Bankhead at a barrier and made him show his credentials. 'The Speaker fumbled in his pocket for a minute then drew a card of admission to the House gallery. The officers, laughing, let him pass, then made Col.

President Roosevelt, with foreign affairs, uppermost in mind, completed his annual legislative message only a few hours before the time to deliver it at a joint Senate-House session shortly after the formalities of the noon opening.

A force of 150 city, policemen was detailed to assist the-secret service, capitol guards and G-men in patrolling Mr. Roosevelt's route from the Executive Mansion to the House chamber. A few went on duty last midnight when the doors of the big-domed capitol were locked, and special cards of admission were required for entrance today. The President's budget message, revising earlier estimates of receipts and 7 expenditures for the current fiscal and outlays of between and $9,000.000,000 for 1940-41, will be submitted tomorrow.

Mrs. Buc'nhoUz described the man as of fine appearance, weighing 160 pounds and 5 feet, 8 inches in height with light complexion and red cheeks. He was a slim build and wore a camel hair coat, tan in color, a light blue shirt and a fedora hat. After a futile search of the city the police department sent out a general alarm for the man's apprehension.

Edgar Hoover, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, reported to Congress today lhat demands on the bureau in the 1939 fiscal" year were the heaviest in 15 years, largely as the result of espionage investigations.

Hoover said that espionage cases 'totaled 1,651 during the year, compared with 250 in the 1938 fiscal year and an average of 35 in each the five preceding years.
