TALKS ON PAN-AMERICANISM WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.—Presi- dent Wilson in his annual address to congress today dealing mainly with national defense, proclaimed an ad- vanced PanAmericanism growing from the guardianship of the Monroe doctrine to “the full and honorable association” of all the Americas. Although in the longest address he has yet delivered to congress the president touched upon a variety of gubjects, the predominating note was the necessity of a policy of military preparedness to meet the readjust- ments of the next generation as they will affect the American continent. He emphasized his point by saying: “Unless you take it within your view and permit the full significance of it to command your thought, I can not find the right light in which to set forth the particular matter that lies at the very front of my whole hought as I address you today. 1 mean national defense.” Flays Disloyal Americans. The point was not overshadowed when the president in the most unmeasured | terms he ever has employed before con- gress denounced naturalized Americans who by theilr sympathies with Buropean belligerents have endangered Amerfcan neutrality.
