President Wilson outlines a doctrine of prepared defense, citing wartime global changes, American partnership in the Americas, and a plan for a larger regular army and expanded navy. He proposes citizen forces, naval buildup, and expanded revenue to fund mobilization, while condemning disloyal citizens and stressing national efficiency and self sufficiency.
The War Department plans raise the standing force from 5 023 officers and 162 985 enlisted to 7 136 officers and 134 707 enlisted, with 400 000 disciplined citizens. A thorough plan to strengthen the navy and merchant marine is urged, citing national threats and fiscal prudence as motives. The address also argues for income taxes if revenues require it and notes questions about U S policy toward Mexico and Central and South American independence.
