The President said no new spend- ing would be approved until the country is in better condition. Voluntary associations and gen- eral citizenry should realize the need not to increase but to de- crease expenditures of the Federal Government, said the President. The President gave no final an- swer to the Administration’s course toward taxation. He said the an- swer will be due in a month or six weeks. As an example of taking the spending pressure off Congress, President | Hoover cited the action of the American Legion which vot- ed against further bonus and said the Legion “set an example to oth- er voluntary bodies of the coun- try in its determination to make no request on the next Congress.” President Hoover cited 271 bills introduced and rejected by the last Congress. He said had all the bills passed it would have meant addi- tional wpproprlsmms of "$6,100,000,- 000 for the current fiscal year and nearly seventeen billion dollars for the next ten years.
