was an increase in the number of
foreign trade complaints, indicating
a corresponding increase in the
number and prosperity Of foreign
trade associations operating under
the Export Trade Act.
Petitions for relief from unfair
competition numbered l.065. A to-
tai Of III formal complaints were
issued while 2l1 cases were disposed
Of, with orders in OF to "cease and
desist" unfair trade practices and dis
missals in the remaining ia.
Reports were completed and filed
during the year on inquiries into the

PRES. HARDING OFFERS
MANY SUGGESTIONS IN
ADDRESS TO CONGRES;
(By The Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. Dec. s.
President Harding, in his annual mes
sage to congress delivered today in
person, deals with nearly score Of
subjects.
Chief among them are prohibition,
farm credits, the transportation pro-
blem, child labor. and immigration.
The president announced it his pur-
pose to invite the governors of the
various states to a conference with
the federal executive authority with
a view to adopt definite policies for
national and state cooperation in the
administration Of the prohibition
laws.
The president also proposed that
the railroad labor board be abolished
with the substitution of labor di-
vision of the Interstate Commerce
Commission with ample powers to re-
quire acceptance of its rulings. The
proposed law would require the car
riers and employees to adopt means Of
settling disputes among themselves.
More extended credits for the far
mers was also strongly urged, as was
also the proposed constitutional
amendment giving congress authority
over child labor. The president pro-
posed the restriction of issues of tax
exempt securities and urged the en-
actment of legislation for the regis
tration of aliens and for a more
thorough examinations of immigrants
at the ports of embarkation.
General coordination Of all trans
portation facilities was urged, includ-
ing inland waterways and motor truck
transportation. the president point
ing out the great benefits the coun-
try would receive from such coor-
dination.
The proposed registration Of aliens
will enable the nation TO guard
against abuses in immigration, check
ing the undesirable and facilitating
the needed Americanization OF those
who mean To enroll as citizens, Pres
ident Harding stated.
He told congress that American re-
lations are not only free from every
threatening cloud but the country
has contributed its larger influence
toward making marked conflict less
likely"
