SUMMARY OF THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

permanent uprraa ion. On the contrary
The direc.ncSs Of tho Presidents dccIer-
alton on that pom, left no doubt that
hc was through with any possible
scheme OF permanent retention.
The telegraph and telephone lines"
said the message. will Of course be rr-
turned to their owners as soon as the
transfer can br effected without admin
islra;ive confusion. % The railroads
will b. handed over TO their owners at
the end of the calendar year"
In tho case Of each tho President ask
cd for lcgisIation- to make easier the
rradjustmcnts ncccSsitatcd by thr
change.
In his recommendation for readjrst-
hlc,u of taxation the President made it
clear that he did not expect n fun'ia
mental adjustment of the democratlc
tariff rates that have been operative for
the past six years. Ho asked for tariff
changes only to protect special new in
tercStS like the dystufcs industry. Some
reductions were. advocated in war lime
excess profits taxes and the presen;
taxes on retail sales the President
thought could be dispensed with en-.
tirCly.
What will be the reply Of the Rcpub-
lIcau congress tu lhCSe proposals DS-
came at once ih" topic of discussion
everywhere about the capitol. In rc-
turning the railroads. it generally was
conceded the Republican leaders will
readily give the President their coop
Grafton. But us to prohibition and
tariff and internal revenue taxation the
acse was more doubtful.
These arc problems on which no very
clear sentiment apparently has hccn
formed in either Of the great parties.
The recommendations regarding labor
were general. hut the Pcsdent called
attention 70 1hc need for a partnership
between capital and labor and n genuine
characterization Of Industry"
On tariff revision the President sail
the United States hould have the means
Of properly protecting itself when thers
was danger Of Discrimination against It
by foreign nations.
Though We arc as far az possible
from desiring to enter upon course o1
retaliation" he. said. I'VE must frankly
face tho fact that hostile Legislation by
other nations is not beyond tho range
Of possibilities. and that 1t may have
TO be met by courterlcgislation.
Although the United States, viii
gladly and unhesttaIingly Join in 7he
program Of international diSarmnmrnr,
il will nevertheless he a policy Of OBJ
vinus prudence 10 max" certain nf Tn"
