Washington, Dec. 5.-Presidem Coolidge advised congress in his sn- nual message today that perhaps the most important work it could do at its present session would be 10 prsc- tce such economy as 10 make DOS slble a reduction of taxes for the next fiscal year.
 "The government can do more to remedy the economic ills of the peo- pie by system of rigid economy tr public expenditure, he said. than can be accomplished through any other action"
 Other Recommendations
 Although stressing economy, Mir, Coolidge presented 8 wide range Of other recommendations, some new and others reiterations of proposals made a year ago in his fr7t annual message.
 Most of these related 10 dorles- tic affairs, but the president went in to the field of international rela- tions to renew his plan for Ameri- can adherence 10 the Permanent Court of International Justice, to declare the United States not to be disposed to join the League of Ma tions; to appeal for support by pub lie authorities and private citizens for the European separations set tlement plan, and 10 repeat his dec i laration of opposition to cancellation by the United States Of the debts owed the country ry foreign nations, Two New Pronouncements
 Two new announcements marked the presidents discussion of foreign affairs. One touched on reduction Of work armaments, and the other had reference to the outlawing Of war.
 Tt has been and is my expectation that we might hopefully approach other great powers for further con- ference on this subject as soon as the carrying out of thep resent repara- ton plan as the established and set : tied policy of Europe has created a i favorably opportunity" he said with regard 10 armament reduction. But on account of proposals which have already been made by other govern ments for European conference, 1t will be necessary to wait to see what the outcome of their actions can be. I should not wish to propose or have representatives attend con- ference which would contemplate commitments opposed to the free dom of action we desire 10 maintain unimpalrcd with respect to our pure ly domestic policies"
 To Outlaw War
 Proposals to outlaw aggressive warfare, the president asserted should be carefully studied and sympatheticany viewed.
 Combining discussion Of tax re- vision with his statement on eco nomy the executive said that if con- gress at this session kent within the budget he had presented it will then be possible 10 have a moderate amount of tax reduction and all the tax reform that the congress may wish for during the next fiscal year" He declared publication of Income tax payments to he "dctrimental to the pUhio welfare and hound to de crease public rolouueS." and urEe5 the repeal of that secuHn Of tle re1onue act
 Aside from his declarations re's- tive 10 economy and taNa"on, tNc outstanjing accommodations or domestic affairs male hy the prcst- dent included:
