Washington. Dece Der S.-A
sweeping declaration of American
financial stability was made by Secre-
tary of Treasury McAdoo in his an
nual report to congress today.
"Our financial resources are the
greatest in cur history and our bank
ing system, through the operation OF
the federal reserve system is the
strongest in the world" he said.
Commenting on business conditions.
the secretary declared one of the
most encouraging features was that
the demand for iron and steel prod
ucts Is heavier from domestic than
from foreign sources.
Among recommendation made f.
one that persons having gross m
come OF $4,000 or more year shall
pay an income tax. The law at pres
ent provides for net incomes of that
amount, leaving II to the individual
to determine whether his net income
is $4,000 or more. The report does
not mention other income tax law
changes suggested. by the secretary in
a recent statement. ..,. II
Indicating the fight to be made on
the o-called port measure, the ON
nibus public buildings bill. the secre-
tary advances argument for its dis
continuance. He cites bad public
building conditions in many cities.
Treatment OF Drug Addicts.
He supports the idea of government
treatment of drug addicts by the pub
lie health service or other govern
ment agency. and suggests that the
Harrison anti-narcotic act be made
more stringent.
Concerning the public health serv-
ice, the secretary urges upon congress
the necessity for more commissioned
medical officers and larger public
health field investigation. He points
out that the United States is the only
country which does net provide for
the isolation and care of lepers. There
are approximately 146 lepers in the
