The national defence message this week is expected to increase the de- fence Budget by between $100,000,000 and $200,000,000. The bulk of this increase will be spent on Improving the Navy's air force and undersen units, and adding to the bulwark of Hight surface craft.

The exact United States naval air strength at present uncertain, but is believed to total 1.200 modern planes, Th

"The door of the White House is open to all our citizens who come offering to assist in achieving these objectives," the President declared.

Further he said that the Adminis- trution is "helping, not hurling the overwhelming majority of business. men and industrialists," and that he
