PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE (Continued from Page One) “the necessity of ecomomy in ern- ment appropriations and ~ expendftures And the avoidance by congress of prac- tices which take money from the treas- ury by indefinite or revolving fund ap- propriations.” year's estimates “strikingly” il: lustrated the importance of ~specific ap- propriations, the president -added, the transportation t having “disturbed” the relationship between re- eeipts and expenditures to the exfent of over a billion dollars. “It is obvious,’ the message contin- ued, “that these 'atge payments have already seriously limited the govern- ment's progress in retiring the floating ebt.” The president renewed some of the réecommendations he made at the opening ®f the last session, and added: “I do not feel it my privilege at pres- ent to suggest the detailed and particu- lar methods by which these objects may be attained, but I have faith that the Inquiries of your geveral committees will discover the way and the method.” The only recommendations for other than domestic matters was that for a Joan to Armenia to be administered through American commissioners to avoid ‘“further tempting opportunities” 1o revolutionary tendencies in that coun- try.," and for granting independence to the Philippines “to keep our promise to he people of th iflands.” “ TEXT OF PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE. Washington, Dee. 7.—President Wil on’s annual message to congress follow “When I addressed myself to perform- ng the duty lald upon the president by e constitution to present to #ou an an- aual report on the state of the union, I found my thought dominated by an im- mortal sentence of Abraham Lincolns. “Let us have faith that right makes might, and in faith let us dare to do our futy as we understand it"—a sentence mmortal because it embodies in a form of utter simplicity and purity the essen- 14l faith of the nation, the faith in which t was éonceived and the faith In which it 118 grown to glory and power. With hat faith and the birth of a nation ounded upon it cime the hope into the worid that a new order would prevail hroughout the affairs of mankind, an order in which reason and right would take precedence of covetonsness nad foree. and I believe that 1'express the wish and purpose of every thoughtful American when I say that this sentence marks for ut in the plainest manner the part we should plag alike in the arrangement of our domestic affairs and in our_exercise of influence upon the affairs of the worls % By this faith arid by this faith alone | can the world be lifted out of its present confusion and despair. It was this faith which prevailed over the wicked force of Cwmany. You will remember \that the b:ginning of the end of the war came when the German peovle found them- selves face” to face with the conscience of the world and realized that right was everywhere arrayed against the wrong that their govegnment was attempting to perpetrate. I think thereforg, that it is true to say that this was the faith with which our gallant men went into the field #nd out upon the seas to make sure of " Misston of Democracy “This is the mission upon which de- mocracy came into the world. Demoe- racy is an assertion of the right of the individual to live and to be treated justly as against any attempt on the part of any combination of individuals to make laws which will overburden him or which will destroy cquality among his fel- lows in the m atter of right or privilege, and I think we all realize that the dav has come when democracy is being put s final test. The old world is just ffering from a wanton rejection of the principle of democracy, and a sub- stitution of the_principle of autocracy as aserted in the name but without the au- thority ‘and sanction of the multitude. This is the time of all others when de- mocracy should prove itd purity and its spiritual power to prevail. . United States Should Lead It is surely the manifest deetiny of the United States to lead in the attempt to make this spirit prevail. There are two ways in which the United States can a t to accomplizh this great object: First, offering the example within her own rders of the will and power of democ- cy to make and enforce laws which are unquestionably just and which are equal in their administration—laws which secure its full right to labor and vet at the same time safeguard the integrity of property and particularly of that prop- erty which is devoted to the development of industry and the Increase pf the nec- essary wealth of the world.

I earp< estly Lope, therefore, that one of the first steps taken by the present session of the congress, will ba/to pass the budget bill. Nation’s Finances Improving “The nation’s finances marked improvement during the past year. The total ordinary receipts of $6,- 694,000,000 for the fiscal year 1920 ex- cesded those for 1919 by $1,542,000,000. have shown standing for right and justice as towards Indivigual nations. The law of democracy in the world should be for the protection of the weak nations, the ngtion which i struggling toward its right and towarde its proper recognition and privilige inl the family of nations. “*he United States eannot refuse this role of champion with- out putting the stigma of rejection upon the great and devoted men who brought | its government into existence and estab- lished it in the face of almost universal ooposition #nd intrigue, even n the face| of wanton forpe, or for example against the orders in counefl of Great Britain and; he arbitrary Napoleonic decrees which in- rolved fis in what we know as the War |cially of the floating debt. b of 1812, Duty of Congress to Remedy Injustices 1 urge you to consider that the dis- play of an jmmediate disposition on the part of congress to remedy any injustices or evils that may have shown themselves | in our international life will afford the| most effectual offset to the forces. of chaos and tyranny, which are playing so dis- astrous a part in the fortunes of the free people of more than one part of the world. 3 “The United States is of necessity the sample democracy of the world and the triumph of democracy depends upon its Fuccess. “Recovery from J8ometimes the disturbing and trous effects of thé late war has been exceedingly slow on the other side of the water and has given promise, 1 venture to say, of early com- pletion only in dur ovm fortunate coun- try; but even with ua the recovery halts and is impeded at times and there are immediately serviceable actd of legisla- tion which it seems to mé wé ought to attempt, to assist that recovery and prove the indestructible recuperative fores of a great government of the peonle. One of these is to prove that a great democracy can keep house as successfully and is os businesslike 2 fashion a8 any other gue- sranment. » . Budget System Is Necessary . “It seems to me that the first step to- wards proving this is to supply ourselxes with a systematic method of handling our estimates and expenditures and bringing them to the point where they 1919, when it was $2 while the total net ordinary expenditures decrcased frem $15,514,000,000 to $6,403.- 000,000 The gross public debt. which reached jts highest point on August 31. 6,000,000, had dropped on Nov. 30, 1929 to $24,175.000.- 000. There has also been a marked de- orease in holdings of government war se- curities by the banking institutions of the country, as well a8 in the amount of bilis held by the federal reserve banks secured by governmeént war obligations. This fortunate result has relieved the banke and left them freer to finance the | needs of agriculture, industry and cu'n—i merce. It has been due in large part to the reduction of the public debt ticularly to the improved d government securities among 7 Investors. The cessation of the ment’s borrowings except throukh | term certificates of indebtedness had heen | a matter of great consequence to the neo- | ple of the country at large as wel holders of Liberty bonds and Victory notes, and has had an important bearing on the mattor of effective credit control. The year has been chara zed by the progressive withdrawal bf the treasurv from the domestic credit market and from} a position of dominant influence in ‘that market. The future course will neces- sarily depend upon the extent to which eeonomies. are practised and upon the bur- dens placed unon the treasury, as well as upon Industrial developments and the maintenance of tax receipts at a suffi- ciently high level. Great War Debt to Mature Soon “The fundamental fact which at pres- ept dominates the government's fina situation is that seven and a half billion dolfars of its war indebtedness mature within_the next two and a half years. Ot this amount, two and a half billions are floating debt and five billions Victory notes and War Savings certificates. “The fiscal program of the government must be determined with reference to these maturities. Sound policy demands that the government expenditures be re- { ot duced to the lowest amount which will] permit the various services to .operate efficiently and th overnment receipts from taxes and ge be maintained sufficiently high to provide for current quirements. including interest and sink- rges on the public debt and v n before maturity. vigorous salvage adequate revenues from taxation, a surplus of current receipts over expenditures can be realized dnd should be applied to the floating debt. All branches of the government should co-onerate to see that this program is re- alized. Necessity of Economy “I cannot over-emonasize the necessity of economy in government appropriations and expenditures and the avoidance by the congress of practicss which take money from the treasury by indefinite or revolving fund appropriations. The timates for the pr over a billion dol expenditures ere authorized by the last congress in addition to the amounts shown in the usual compiled statements of appropri- ations, “This strikin; illustrates the im- ing direct and specifie appropriations. The relation between the current receipts' and current expenditures | the government during the presen 1 year,eas well ds during the last fis- as well as during the last 3 has been disturbed by the ex- traordinary burdens thrown upon the re- turn of the railroads to private control.| Over $600,000,000 has already been paid | to the railroads under this act—S$350. 000,000 during the present fiscal vear: and_ it imated that further payment aggresating possibly $650,000,000 still must be paid to the railroads dufing the current r.

About Treatment of Disabled Veterans It is my privilege to draw the atten- tion of congress for very sympathetic con- sideration of the problem of providing adequate facilities for the care and treat- ment of former members of the m and naval forces who are sick or d ed as the resul the war. These heroic be paid in money men can for the reward will lie rather in rel the fact that they o¢ their country and aided in safeguard- ing civilization. The nation’s gratitude must be effectively reveaed to them by the most ample ‘provision for. their medic- Al care and treatment as well as for their vocational training and placement. The time has come when a more complete program can be formulated and more sat- isfactorily adminfStered for their treat- ment and training and I ‘earnestly urge that the congress give the matter ite early consideration. The ~secretary of the treasury and the board of vocational education will' outline in their annual re- ports pronosals covering medical care and rehabilitation, which I am sure will en- gage vour earnest study and command your most generous support. Urged In His Previous Messages “Permit me fo emphasize once more the need for action upon certsin matters upon which I dwelt at some lcagth in my message to the second session of the 66th congress. The necessity for example of encouraging the/ manufacture of dye- stuffs and related chemicals; the fmport- ance of doing everything possiblo to pro- mote agricultural production along econ- omic lines, to improve agricultulal mar- keting and to make rural life more at- tractive and healthful ; the nced for a law regulating cold storags in such a way as to 1imit the time during which goods.ma be kept in storage, prescribing the meth- od of disposing of them if kept beyond the permitted period and requirirg goods re- leased from storage in all cases to bear the date of thier receipt. Marking Cold Storage Products “It would alsp be most serviceable if it were provided that all goods released from cold storage for interstate shipment P should have plainly marked upon each package the selling or market price which they went into storage, in order that ‘the purchased might be dble to learn what profits stood between him and the producer or the W dealer.
