i r'.cr.u.r.jo. The rr-ss pubiic deh,. !.i i reach'Ml its hiirhe-.-t point on Anrr. 21, 191L, wh'n it was S2ß.ö;'.00",r,"0t hnd droppod on Nov. '.0. mo, to J24.175.0'"O,000. Then: h.tci alro bean a marked decrease in hoMlr.rrs r j f povemmont war socuriti ? by the hinkirc institutions of the country as well as the discount hi I1:-? hold by the folrral reserve barks Feo;red by government war r-itllfzat jns. This- ffirtvinate result h.as roib'vrd tlie banks and left thom freer to fir. an o. the nerds of agricultural, industry and commerce. It has boon luo in iarire part to the reduction of the public debt, C'peciahy of tho JIoatir.tr deht, hut more partifuiarly to tlie improved distribution of government securities among permanent investors. The cessation f f the government's borrowings except through Fhort term certificates of indebtedness has been a matter of rro.it con-ofiuence to the people of the country at largo, as well as to the holde r3 of Ldberty bonds and victory notes, and has had an important bearing en the matter of effective credit control. The year has been characterized by the piogressive withdrawal of tho treasury from the domestic credit market and

from a romion or oominant innuendo In that market. The fu'ure course will necessarily depend upon thft extent to which economies are

practiced and upon burdens placed I been paid to the railroads under this

upon the treasury as well as upon act $35U.i'-uo,uuu uunng tne presindustrial developments and thejent fiscal year and It i3 estimated

tw'.-and-a-half hiilions are floating dtb; and five billions victory noUs ar.d war savings certificates. The fi.ru;.; proK'rarn of the government ma bo determined with referent to these maturiti-f. Sound policy demands that government expenditure b- reduced to the iowe:-.t amount which will permit the various services to operate efficiently and that government receipts from taxes and silvage be maintained sufi'.cif nt!y hirr:h to provide for current requi i ments, including Inte rst ;.:.(! sinking fund charges on the public debt and at tho same time retire the floating debt and part of th victory loan before maturity. With rigil economy, vigorous salvage operations and adequate revenues from taxation, a surplus of current receipts over current expenditures can be realized ar.d should be applied to the floating debt. All branches of the government should cooperate to see that this program is realised. St ivsm'S I'conomy Nced. I cannot over emphasize the necessity of economy in government appropriations and expenditures

and the avoidance? by tlie congre of practices which take money from the treasury by indefinite or revolving fund appropriations. The estimates for the present year show that over a billion dollars of expenditures were authorized by the last congre3 In addition to the amounts shown in the usual compiled statements of appropriations. This strikingly illustrates the importance of making direct and specific appropriations. The relation between the current receipts and current expenditures of the government during tho present fiscal year, as well na during the last half of the last fiscal year, has been elisturbed by the extraordinary burdens thrown upon tho treasury by the transportation act in connection with tlie return of the railroads to private control. Over $200.000,000 has already

that further payments aggreg ttin;g porsib'.y JCCu.OOO.OOO must still be made to the railro ads during the current year. It is obvious that these large payments have already H- riousiy limited the governments' progress in retiring the floating debt. Iors Ta llcvl-iem. Closely connected with thh. it 5cem3 to me. is tne necessity for an immediate consideration of the revision of our tax laws. Sinipliikatlon of the income and profits taxes has become an immediate necessity. These- taxes performed an indispensable 5-ervlre during the war. The nted for their simplification, however, is very grtat m order to save the tax payer inconvenience and exp( n?e and in order to make his li.ibi'.ity more certain and deiinite. thr an 1 more detailed recommendations with regard to taxes will no doubt be laid before you by the secretary of the treasury and the commissioner of internal revenue. It Is my privilege to elraw to the attention of congress for very sympathetic consideration the problem of providing adequate facilities for the care and treatment of former members of the military and naval forces who are sick or disabled as the result of their participation in the war. These heroic men can never be paid in money for the service they patriotically rendered the nation. Their reward will lie rathe r in realization of thei fact that they vindicated the rights of their coun

try and aided in safe guarding civilization. The nation's gratitude must be effectively revealed to them by tho most ample provision for their medical 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 satisfactorily administered for their treatment and training and I earnestly urge that tho congress give the matter its early consideration. To Outline lU-liabilltation. The secretary of the treasury and the board for vocational education will outline in their annual reports proposals covering medical care and rehabilitation which I am sure will engage your earnest study and command your most generous support. Permit me to emphasize once more the need for action upon certain matters pon which I dwelt at

fome length in my mes.-ige to the

pecond session of the 5Gth congross: the necessity for example, of en-! couraglr.g the manufacture of elye-1 stuffs and related chemicals; the Importance of doing everything pc.itle to promote agricultural production along economic lir.es to Improve agricultural marketing and to make rural life more attractive and healthful; the need for a law regulating cold storage in such a way as to limit the time during which the goods may be kept in storage, prescriMr.g the method of disposing of them if kept beyond the permitted period and requiring goods released from cold storage for interstate shipments have plainly marked upon each package the selling or market price at which they went into storage in order that the purchaser might be able to learn what profit stood between him and the producer or the wholesale dealer. Should Carry Producer's Price. Indeed. It would be very serviceable to the public if all goods destined for interstate commerce were made to carry upon every packing ease whose form made it possible a plain statement of the price at which they left the hands of the producer. I respectfully call your attention also to the recommendations of the message referred to with regard to a federal licence for all corporations engaged in interstate commerce. In brief the Immediate legislative need of the time is the removal of all obstacles to the realization of the best ambitions of our people in their several classes of employment and the strengthening of all instrumentalities by which difficulties are to b met and removed and

.mitlce dealt out, whether by law or j much laid before bv some form cC mediati on and j pec omni end at ions.

....., of sought to utter a confession

the detailed and particular methods by which these objects may be attained, but I have faith that the inquiries of your several committer s will discover the way and the method. In response to what I believe to bo the impulse of sympathy and opinion throughout the U. S. I earnestly suggest that the congress authorize the tre.irjry of the U. S to make to the s.rugglinz government of Armenia sjch a loan as was

made to several of the allied governments during the war; ar.d I would also suggest that it would i very desirable to provide in the legislation itself thit the expenditure of money th'ts loaned should be under the supervision of a com-
