not mentioned by the President, it
is presumed his reference was to
the bill or one like it.
A brief resume of the Presidents
message follows:
President Harding, addressing
congress in person Friday on the
state of the union, placed the trans
portation situation, prohibition en-
forcement and farm credits in the
forefront of the national problems
pressing for solution.
Also he took occasion to reply
directly to those whom he said had
assumed that the United States
had taken itself "aloof and apart,
unmindful of the world obligation"
He declared these gave "scant
credit" for the helpful part" Amer
lea has assumed in international
relations, referring particularly to
the arms conference.

nationwide scandal. He made no
recommendations on this score, but
announced his purpose to call an

If the states and territories with the
federal authorities to formulate def

cooperation in the administration
of the laws.
Turning to the recent railroad
strike, the president proposed that

disputes between carriers and work

force it's decisions. He voiced a
preference for abolition of the rail

abolished to the end that the tri-

quarters moved from Chicago to
Washington, so there might be di-
rect contact with the commission.
