MEASURE TO REPEAL
WAR LAWS REPORTED
Exemptions Agreed To; Up

WASHINGTON, Dec. THE volstead
resolution to repeal wartime laws was
favorably reported by the House Ju-

acts, and those measures authorizing the
issuance of l. 'srty and Victory bonds,
all of which re specifically exempted
in the resolution as introduced.
Mr.. Voistead said he expected the
resolution would be considered In the
House before the end Of the week. The
rules committee, he added, will be asked
to give the measure preference and to
agree to a provision for limited debate.
The War Finance Corporation act Is
still In effect, although the corporation
which ftmctioned under its provisions
has practically suspended operations.
Possibility that Congress may revive
the War Finance Board to afford relief

the committee to recommend that the
act be exempted from the repeal resolu-

that such force would be sufficient

continued indicate that the army now
approxmates 10000 men, and that
efforts were being made 10 reach the

Peace in Industry.
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 instru-
mentalities by which difficulties are
to be met and removed and justice
dealt out, whether by law or by
some form of mediation and concili-
alton. 1 do not feel 1t to be my priv
ilege at present to suggest the de-
Z tailed and particular methods by
which these objects may be attained,
but 1 have faith that the inquiries
Of your several committees will dis
cover the way and the method.
In response to what l believe to
be the impulse of sympathy and
opinion throughout the United
otdteS, i tdrueStiy 5uBScSl tiidI tio
Congress authorize the Treasury OF
the United States to make to the
struggling Government of Armenia
such a loan as was made to several
of the allied Governments during the
war; and would also suggest that 1t
would be desirable to provide in the
legislation itself that the expendi-
ture of the money thus loaned should
be under the supervision of COM
mission, or at least a commissioner,
from the United States, in order that
revolutionary tendencies within
Armenia itself might not be afforded
by this loan a further tempting OPP
portunity.

to the fact that the people OF the

debt and five billions Victory notes
and War Savings certificates. The
fiscal programme Of the Government
must be determined with reference
TO these maturities. Sound policy
demands that Government expendi-
lures be reduced to the lowest
amount which will permit the vari-
GUS services to operate efficiently
and that Government receipts from
taxes and salvage be maintained
sufficiently high to provide for cur
rent requirements, including interest
and sinking fund charges on the
public debt. and at the same time
retire the floating debt and part
of the Victory loan before maturity.
With rigid economy, vigorous sal
wage operations and adequate rev.
enues from taxation. a surplus of
current receipts over current ex-
penditures can be realized and
should be applied to the floating
debt. All branches Of the Govern
ment should cooperate to see that
this programme is realised.
Makes Plea for Economy.
cannot overemphasize the neces-
sity OF economy in Government ap-
preparations and expenditures and
the avoidance by the Congress of
practices which take money from
the Treasury by indefinite or revolv-
ing fund appropriations. The estl-
mates for the present year show
that over a billion dollars of expen-
ditures were authorized by the last
Congress In addition to the amounts
CHI In, hn cto ta
nents OF appropriations. This strik-
ingly illustrates the Importance of
making direct and specific appro-
priations. The relation between the
current receipts and current expen-
ditures OF the Government during
the present fiscal year, as well as
during the last half Of the last fiscal
year. has been disturbed by the ex-
traordinary burdens thrown upon
the Treasury by the Transportation
Act, In connection with the return OF
the railroads to private control.
Over s600,000.0o0 has already been
paid to the railroads under this act
$3.50. ,o0e during the present
fiscal year; and 1t Is estimated that
further payments aggregating posi-
bly, $3.50, 100000 must still be made
10 the railroads curing Inc current
year. 1t is obvious that these large
payments have already seriously
limited the Governments progress
In retiring the floating debt.
Closely connected with these. Il
seems to me, is the necessity for an
immediate consideration of the re-
vision of our tax laws. Simplifica-
ton Of the income and profits taxes
has become an immediate necessity.
These taxes performed an indispen-
sable service during the war. The
need for their simplification. how
ever, is very great. In order to save
the taxpayer inconvenience and ex-
pense and in order to make his
liability more certain and definite.
Other and more detailed recommen-
daiions with regard to taxes will no

doubt be laid before you by the
Secretary of the Treasury and the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue.
1t is my privilege to draw to the
attention of Congress for very
sympathetic consideration the prob
lem OF providing adequate facilities
for the care and treatment OF for
mer members of the military and
naval forces who are eick or dis
abled as the result of their partici-
patton in the war. These heroic men
can never be paid in money for the
service they periodically rendered
the nation.
Their reward will lie rather In
realization of the fact that they vim
dicated the rights Of their country
and aided in safeguarding civiliza-
ton. The nations gratitude must be
effectively revealed to them by the
most ample provision for their medi-
cal care and treatment as well as
for their vocational training ard
placement. The time has come
when a more complete programme
can be formulated and more salts
factorily administered for their
treatment and training. and /
earnestly urge that the Congress
give the matter It's early considera-
fion. The Secretary of the Treasury
and the Board for Vocational Educa-
ton will outline In their annual re-
ports proposals covering medical
care and rehabilitation which l am
sure will engage your earnest study

Aid for Agriculture.
Permit me TO emphasize once
more the need for action upon GER
tain matters upon which | dwelt at
some length in my message to the
second session of the Sixty-sixth
Congress The necessity. for ex-
ample of encouraging the manufac-
ture OF dyestuffs and related chem
icals; the Importance of doing every
thing possible to promote agricul-
tural production along economic
lines, to improve agricultural mar
keting 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 goods may be kept In
storage, prescribing the method of
disposing Of them IL kept beyond
the permitted period and requiring
goods released from storage In all
cases to bear the date Of their re-
ceipt.
1t would also be most serviceable
If It were provided that all goods
released from cold storage for In
terstate shipment should have plain
~ 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 profits stood between him and
the producer or the wholesale dealer.

tined for Interstate commerce were
