The text OF the Presidents message,
which was read to congress. In part
follows:
The nation holds a position unsur-
passed Ia all former human expert
ence. This does not mean that We
do not have any problems.
Our domestic problems are for the
most part economic We have our
enormous debt 10 pay. and we are
paying II. We have the high cost OF
government 10 diminish. and we are
diminishing IL.
We stu owe over S21 900, 100000,
the cost OF the national government

national taxes still amount to about
s27 for each one Of our inhabitants. |
There yet exists this enormous field
for the application OF economy.

do more TO remedy the economic Ills
Of the people by a system OF rigid
economy In public expenditure than
can be accomplished through any
other action.
