MESSAGE SEEKS ENDURANCE OF RISE IN TAXES (CONTINUED (KOM PAGE UNt; ital would be raised jointly by the government and private subscription, "Its purpose is that by strengthening the weak spots to thus liberate the full strength of the nation's resources." Such a corporation, backed by 1 possibly a billion dollars, would be expected to have a strong phychological effect on the country such as was felt from the launching of the recent national credit corporation. This proposal, coupled with the tax increase recommendation, forms the cornerstone of the President's attempt to inspire confidence: and build a sound private and pub- 1 lie fiscal foundation for economic recovery. “The first requirement of confidence and of economic Recovery is financial stability of the United States government,'’ he said. "I must at this time call attention to the magnitude of the deficits which ' have developed and the resulting necessity for determined and courageous policies.'’ He said there must be insistent | and determined reduction in gov-] ernment expenses and that tha de- 1 licit must be partially met by bor . rowing, for an attempt to cover them by increased taxes "would re-! tard recovery.’’ He would fix the tax increase so as to balance the budget for the year beginning next July 1 except . for statutory debt retirement. This 1 would .require about $921,006,000. A net increase in the national debt, WILL a loan up to $300.00 help you? We make confidential loans on your own personal ’ security.

'of $1,711,000,000 exclusive of debt] retirement is indicated for the cur-1 ■ rent fiscal year, now almost half, (over, so that the proposed tax in-: ; crease is not expected to cover that ] amount in full. "The additional taxation should] be imposed solely as an emergency : measure terminating definitely two 1 [years from July 1 next." Mr. Hoov-| 'er said. “Such a basis will give; [confidence in the determination of [ [the government to stabilize its] finance and will assure taxpayer lof its temporary character, even 1 with increased taxation, the government will reach the utmost safe ] ! limit of its borrowing capacity by [the expenditures for which we are | already obligated and the recoin- [ mentations here proposed. To go I further than these limits in either 'expenditures, taxes, or borrowing will destroy confidence, denude I commerce and industry of its re- [ ‘sources, jeopardize the financial . system, and actually extend unem-j ployment and demoralize agrtcul-' ture rather than relieve it." Mr. Hoover also presented the broad outline of an emergency "re-: construction corporation" like the' former war finance corporation. It I would finance exports, agriculture, industry, railways and financial institutions and would be liquidated after two years. He proposed the' federal government subscribe "reasonable capital" to it. The! amount of capital contemplated was (not revealed, though unofficial re- ' ports have been that it would be about $1,000,000,000. it would not overlap the recently formed $500.- ] 000,000 National Credit Corporation organized to aid bank-. “We must put some steel beams! in the foundation of our credit structure.” the President said. This recommendation. Mr. Hoover said, was made "in order that the public may be absolutely assur--led and that the government may be in position to meet any public ' necessity." Mr. Hoover added that it might , not be necessary to use this in-. strument very extensively. “The very existence of such a bulward will strengthen confidence." he said. "Its purpose is i that by strengthening the weak [ spots to thus liberate the full I strength of the nation's resource.-." Without making predictions. Mr. I Hoover indicated confidence in the 1 future. "The time is ripe for forward action to expedite our recovery.": lie said. "If-we can put our tinan-, I cial resources to work and can: lameloreate the financial situation '• in the railways, I am confident we' I can make a large measure of re-' covet y independent of the rest of I the world. A strong America is the highest contribution to world stability." Mr. Hoover declared he was opposed to general tat iff revision. | "Such action would disturb inidustry, business ami agriculture. " lie said. "It would prolong the de- i ! pression.” lie also registered unqualified . opposition to any "direct or indi- • rect governniefit dole." There were [no specific unemployment relief I recommendations though Mr. Hoov'er siiid that through the govern- [ ment construction program, the federal payroll and veterans aid the' .federal taxpayer is contributing directly to the livelihood of 10.0u0.-1 |OW citizens. The President's 'tin-1 employment committee, he said. I "gives assurance against suffering ! during the coining winter." Prohibition was not mentioned in the message. [ .Because of its bearing on the depression, the oncoming presidential election, and the evenly dlvided congress with its democratic ! controlled house, this message was .awaited with exceptional interest 'at the capitol. The Hoover program included t the tollowing additional recummen- ( dations: ; 1. Railroads, whose stability [ was described as necessary to iconomic recovery, should lie en[abied to reduce costs by proper consolidation, and competing ser- ' vices should be subjected to rate . reg-ulatioH. [ 2. Authorization by congress for /further government, advances to [ federal land banks to make poss- ; ible greater aid to agriculture. 3. Legislation to enable federal lieserve banks to make quickly available to depositors some por- •, tion of funds tied up in closed

I banks. 4. Establishment of a system of i ;home-loan discount banks is out-: :lined in a recent presidential state-' [ ment. • 5. Extension during emergencies ' |of rediscount eligibility provisions >of the federal resei've act. without I lowering the safeguards of the sys-j Item, as approved in the White I House conference with congression- 1 ul leaders October 6. 6. Prompt improvement of bank- 1 ling laws to turther safeguard de-, [ posits and credit flow and congressI ional investigation of the need for separation of different kinds of . banking, enlargement or branch i banking, and ways of expending ! membership in the federal reserve I system. 7. Consideration of practical ] questions relating to deposits and investments of postal savings I i banks, which have more than doubled deposits in the last year, j 8. Anti-trust laws should not be : repealed, Mr. Hoover said, but ire | urged congress to consider w hether . changes should be made to end ' demoralization in the coal, oil and I lumber industries. Mr. Hoover expressed confidence 1 {that the country would adjust its- ' sek' to chainglng conditions now as I [ it has in the past without any revolutionary action. "It is inevitable," in- .-aid. "tliat lin these times much of the legislation proposed to the congress and many of the recommendations of ithe executive must be designed to meet emergencies. In reaching j I solutions we must not jeopardize 1 those principles which we have found to be the basis of growth* of the nation. Th- ieuerai government must not ■ encroach upon nor permit local .communities to abandon that prec- [ ious possession of local initiative I and responsibility. Again, just as[ the largest measure of social re- ■ sponsibility in our country rests j upon local self-government, so does the largest measure of social re- > sponsibility in our countr yrest upon the individual, if the individual surrenders his own initiative and responsibilities, he is surrendering his own freedem and his own liberty. It is the duty of the national government to insist that both the local governments and the inI dividual shall assume and bear 'these responsibilities as u fundamental of preserving the very basis 'of our freedom." Mr. Hoover added that though ‘this is a distressful time, the peopie have shown high courage and ; resourcefulness. 1 "V. ith that spirit. I have faith 'that out of it will come a sounder I life, a truer standard of values, a , greater recognition of the results of honest effort, and a healthier atmosphere in which to rear our chii’•.iren." , lie found fundaments! national gains even in the depression in the absence of public disorders and inI dustrial conflict, an enlargement of [spiritual and social responsibility among the people, applications of better methods in business, larg ■ i scale public improvements, gains [ in knowledge and publi health, j "The country is richer in phys- | ical properly, in newly discovered [resources, and in productive cap.c- . ity than ever before,’’ the President said. .

If the world is to regain I its standards of life, "it must further decrease both naVAI and other[ arms.” ! Foreign affairs difficulties in [the last year have largely origin.ated in foreign disturbances, and (efforts at recuperation in this coun-i try have necessitated cooperation [with other nations to restore world* ■onfidence and economic stability.! The moratorium was necessitated | *by the danger of a general panic I and the collapse of central Europe. ; Foreign affairs are to be treated in : a later message.

WELLS BLAMES UNEMPLOYMENT ON EDUCATION Historian Says It Is The Missing Link in World System Detroit. Dec. 7.— (U.R) - Cyclical * unemployment would not occur in an educated world, according to H. G. Wells, historian and social philosopher. "Education." Wells said on a visit here, "is the missing link in the chain that should connect industry with political systems. But the education of today is not the education we need." Wells said our present educational systems are all wrong. He blamed the world depression not so much on the lack of education as on the lack of the right kind of training. “The world must look forward," he asserted, but first, It must learn how. Citizens of nations must become citizens of the world, an-
