President Wilson Last Message Asks for Budget
ssts ssss Bill Revision Of Tax System, Loan to
s~ Armenia and Philippine independence

Z WASHINGTON. Dec. T.-Calling
attention to the fact that the United
States Ii the sample democracy OF
the world" and as such is constantly
Under world scrutiny, President Will
son In his last campaign message to-
day urged upon congress the duty of
making this nation the champion of
right and Justice in world affairs.
Only by rectifying wrongs within our
own borders and cIlampioning the
right wherever it is in danger. the
president pointed out, can the United
States fulfill its destiny and keep
faith with the fathers of the re-
public. ss
The presidents message made no
mention of the league Of nations nor
any international aspect in particu-
lar. It was a short message and more
than half of it was devoted to do
nestle affairs.
At the last moment, President Will
son yielded to the wishes of his ply
sican and did not attempt to go to
the capital and deliver the message
in person before joint session Of
the two houses.
Instead, few minutes before noon
the message was transmitted to each
house separately and there was read
to the members.
President Wilson began his mes
sage with quotation from Lincoln:
Let us have faith that right makes
might and in that faith let us dare
to do our duty as we understand it.
The simple faith expressed in
Lincoln's words formed the gist OF
the entire document. There was no
reference to the tumultous closing
days Of his own administration nor

tion on March 4. s . 1t
This one phrase, the president
said, marks out Americas duty in
both foreign and domestic affairs, by
this faith alone, he said can the
world@be lifted out Of its present
state of confusion and despair"
IL The president himself summed up
his message in its final paragraph:
'I have not so much laid before you
IA series of recommendation" he
said, "as have sought to utter com
lfession of faith, of the faith in which
! was bound and solemnly propose
to stand by until my last fighting day.
i believe this to be the faith of
America, the faith of the future, and
or all the victories which awaits ma
tional action in days to come whether
in America or, elsewhere"
sihe first half Of the presidential
Iaessage was devoted to the expres-
sions of his faitn and the urging
upon congress its duty to make
America indeed the triumphal force
for right and lstice. Then, turning
to domestic affairs, the president
recommended to congress the follow
ing: ~
The passage of a budget bill to
stabilize the governments finances
Stricter economy in governmental
expenditures in order that the burden
OF taxation be lightened and the ma
tional debt decreased.
Revision and simplification of the
taxation system, which he declared
has become an immediate necessity.
The granting of loan to the
struggling government of Armenia. !"
Granting to the Philippines their
independence, as they have succeeded
In maintaining a stable government.

broke away from traditional isolation ana

Il was upon this basis that the presl-

pension of hostilities against the imperial
German government, the armislce was
granted and treaty of peace negotiated
upon the definite assurance TO Germany, as

and territorial integrity to great and
