Take Immediate Action

DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES JEALOUSLY GUARDED

Washington, Jan. 6. An addition to the present United States Neutrality Act, as a result of the Spanish civil war, was announced by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in his annual message to Congress to-day. He also asked Congress to consider immediately measures for the extension of the life of "certain authorisations and powers which, under existing statutes, expire within a few weeks.

The President asked Congress to consider a Deficiency Appropriation Bill, presumably for new work relief funds, estimates for which the chief executive said he would submit this week.

He would defer other legislative recommendations, said Mr. Roosevelt, until his inauguration speech on January 20.
