Further, it will be necessary to wait until the Kuropean conference, initlated by the League of Natlons, has been held. The President makes it very clear that the United States Government is not to be offi- clally represented in that conference. In another part of his message, the President says: “I want the armed forces of the United States to be considered by all peoples not as enemles, but as friends, as the contribution which is made by this country for the maintenance of the peace and security of the world.” While declaring his bellef dn the Army and Navy and in adequate de- fense and preparation, the President sa “But T am opposed to any policy of competition in bullding or maintaining land or sea armaments.’” He makes it clear that he does not intend to stampeded into engaging in competitive armaments by reports of the magnitude of the military strength of other nations.

He has pralse for the aviation services, commendation for the defense test of the Army General Staff, made September 12 last. He promises the Navy shall work toward tatlon treaty, and calls attention to the fact that efforts are being made to conserve the fuel oil supply for the Navy.
