these problems. which many of the
members OF both houses regard as
the most pressing questions now be
fore the government Indeed, ii may
be said that his omission in this re
spect aroused as mucn interest as
the actual proposals he did make.
The President repeated many rec
concentrations offered to the special
session of Congress convened last
spring and urged the necessity Of
action upon them. Some of these
are embodied in legislation now
pending.
The Pesident urged the adop-
ton of budget system, insist
ing, however, that the executive
should control it, submitting all pro
posed applications to one committee
of each house Of Congress. This
was aimed at the present system #
