TEXT OF PRESIDENT’S SPEECH SS ORGANIZATION tional tranquillity. We have mot reached these domestic results without struggle and sacrifice and_the en- countering of opposition. We shall not be able to do much good to our- selves or make much contribution to the welfare of the world, unless we continue the same struggle and make increasing sacrifices. To me, all these proposals for con- servation and economy do not seem either selfish or provincial, but rather they reveal a spirlt dedicated to the service of humanity. If these things are not fmportant, then there are no earthly considerations that are im- portant. Although these accomplishments are past history and ought to be known of all men, yet it is well that they be recalled and relterated, in order t we may better understand the genera! plan which not only all the people In the Government but all the people in the country are engagcl in putting into effect. The penalty for achievement is always a demund for even greater achievement. In this effort for retrenchment you have not disappointed the people or the President, and it is my firm conviction that you never will. If vou at times grow weary of the constant stress put on economy, you will see that something more s involved than can ¢ measured in dollars and cents. The Mirit of real constructive economy is something higher and nobler. Tt does not imply so much a limitation as an |attempt to be free from limitation. {1t does mot contemplate curtailing |ample supplies for worthy purposes |und real needs, but it is the enemy |of waste and the ally of orderly pro- |cedure. It is an attempt to increase {and enlarge the scope of the individual tand the life of the Nation. Expenditures Mounting. fow great a4 need exists to empha size the homely fundamental virtue of | government econon an when we contemplate the mounting tide of ex- penditure and indebtedness of mu- nivipal and State governments. This tendency is one of great concern. The very fuct that the Federal Govern- ment has been able to cut down its expenditures, decrease {ts indebted- ness and reduce its taxes indicates how great is the accomplishment which you have made in behalf of the people of the Natlon. These results all monuments to you and to the Congress. It has been your work and ir co-operation that has brought forth these fortunate conclusions. 1 have expressed cannot look tions in the cost usicting of the business of the Government.

Since interest is 221 per cent of our total Federal expenditures, u reduction in Interest is a most fraitful field for permanent saving. If we continued this plan iuring the post-war- depression, there is certainly little reason for chunging it in these days of prosperity Very soon you will have your ap- propriations for the next fiscal year. It would be wise early to lay out a carefully prepared program in mak- ing the apportionment over the sev- al perfods of the year, as is required v the Taw. If all our expenditures are wisely planned and wisely made, retrenchment will take care of itself. You should not forget to lay aside an emergency fund. Something unex- pected usually happens, but if it does not a real saving iy, made. The re- serve set up in this way for the last fiscal year has an unexpended balangp of $24,000,000. It i3 of the utmost tm- portance to remember that construc- tive economy means preparation for the future. Our country {s in need of | internal improvements and develop- ments. A new building bill is under way, and our great interior should be provided with river and waterway fa- eilities. These two projects represent a capital investment on which the re- turns will undoubtedly justify the costs. But we should beware of in- creased permanent commitments, When the (jovernment rents pri- vately owned buildings it pays a high rate of interest, all the taxes, and some profit. When it occuples its own buildings the interest represented is very low, and taxes and profits are eliminated. The opening up of water- ways means the development of com- merce, less cost for frelght on raw materials, and a large saving to our agricultural regions. The extent to which these projects ean be under- taken In the immediate future awaits the outcome of the pending tax bill. Aid All Development. What all these efforts mean would be greatly underestimated if it be thought that they begin and end with the saving of money. Considered in their entirety, they play an important part in the wonderful American ex- periment for the advancement of hu- man welfare. It is not only the method by which we have built rail- roads, developed agriculture, created commerce, and estabilshed industry, not only the method by which we have made nearly 18,000,000 automobiles and put a telephone and & radio into €0 large a proportion of our homes, but It is also the method by which we have founded schools, endowed hos- pitals, and erected places of religlous worship. It is the material ground- work on which the whole fabric of society rests. It has given to the average American a breadth of out- look, a variety of experienee; and ‘a richness of life that in former genera- tions was entirely beyond the reach of even the most powerful princes. All of this effort represents not merely the keeping of our money but the keeping of our falth. One of the chief dangers to the success of popular zovernment is that it will throw away self-restraint and self-control and adopt laws which, being without sound economic foundation, bring on such a financial distress as to result in want, misery, disorder, and the dis- solution of soclety. America has demonstrated that self-government can be so administered as fairly to protect each individual in all his rights, whether they affect his person or his property. Under constitutional authority we tax everything, but we confiscate nothing. It is not through selfishness or wastefulness or arro- gance, but through self-denial, con- servation, and service, that we shall build up the American spirit. This is the trus constructive economy, the true faith on which our institutions rest.

These two fac- tors alone call for a grand total ot $816,772.203.41, which tax refunds for 1927 may possibly cury over the $1,000,000,000 mark. “No amount of administrutive ef. fort,” Gen. Lord added, “no matter how well diverted, can possibly modify this great addition to the burden. Savings in other directions, however, have absorbed the bulk of it, and made possible surpluses that in turn made tax reduction possible.” The speaker praised the work of all persons co-operating in the cause of efficlency and economy, including the chief co-ordinator, the 10 co- ordinating boards, the 7 area co- ordinators and the 141 Federal busi- ness associatians.
