Transportation.
Generalization OF lall transportation
facilities is urged by the president.
The1e would include not only inland
waterways but motor truck transpor-
tation as we'll. He inveighs against
. the system OF paralleling the railroads
with truck roads, thus drawing freight
from the steam lines instead Of max
Ing the motor truck feeder for them.
As to the carriers themselves Mr..
Harding suggests as ways Of increased
economy and efficiency there be q
merger Of lines into systems, inter-
change Of freight cars. the ronRolida-
ton of facilitie esa and the ecoftonfac ueo
OF terminals. He declared that, the
inter carrier, cooperative relationship
so highly essential to the most and
best 1eco o&onlical operation" adding
that the3Hco1lld not function in har-
| mony whsn the recent strike threat
cned the heralysis of'a1l railway trans
portation.
Urges Extended Farm Credit.
More extended credit for the farm
ers Is strongly urged by the executive
who declares that the very proof of
helpfulness already given Is the strong
est argument for the permanent estab-
lishment Of widenedi credits. He says
the farm loan bureau may well have
| It's powers enlarged to provide ample
farm production credits as we'll as en-
larged land credits. g q
Proposes Amendments.
Two constitutional alamendments are
proposed. One would give congress
atzfh ority over child labor and the 9TH
err would restrict the Issues Of tax ex-
sempt securities. which are declared to
be driving up, the sources Of federal
taxation and encouraging unproduc-
: tive and extravagant expenditures by
, states and municipalities"
| Urges Alien Registration.
Enactment of legislation providing
! for registration Of aliens and for more
thorough examination of emigrants at
the ports of embarkation is urged. The
president says there is ''recrude-
scence of hyphenated Americanism
which we thought to have been stamp
/ ed out when we committed the nation.

Dealing with foreign affairs, Mr..

relations are not only free from every
threatening cloud, but the country has
