President Roosevelt is shown (left) as he presented his broad defense program before both houses of Con-
gress, assembled in the House of Representatives in Washington. Behind the President, at right, sit Speaker
William Bankhead and Vice President Garner (far right). The President stressed that the most essential ele
ment of defense is national unity. "We have our difficulties," he said, "but we are a wiser and tougher nation
than we were in 1929 or 1932."
