JUSTICE DEMANDED
Coolidge Renews Plea For
American Participation In
Annual Message
(By Associated Press.)
LASHINGTON Dec.

The Senate and House met in
joint session this morning at IL
o clock to receive the annual
message on the state of the I'M
ion from President Coolidge.
President Coolidge advised
congress in his annual message
today that perhaps the most i'm
portant work it could do at it's
present session would be to
practice such economy as to
make possible a reduction of
taxes for the next fiscal year.
The government can do
more to remedy the economic
Ills of the people by a system of
rigid economy in public expen-
diture," he said, than can be
accomplished through any other
action"
Although stressing economy,
Mr. Coolidge presented a wide
range of other recommended
tons, some new and others re-
iterations of proposals made a
year ago in his first annual mes
sage.
Most of these related to do
nestle affairs, but the president
went in to the field of international
relations to renew his plea for
American adherence to the Perma-
nent Court of international Just
ice; to declare the United States
not TO be. disposed to join the
League of Nations; to appeal for
support by public authorities and
private citizens for the European
Preparations settlement plan, and
to repeat his declaration of oppo-
sition to cancellation by the Unit
ed States for the debts owed the
country by foreign nations.
Two new announcements mark
ed the presidents discussion of
foreign affairs. One touched on
reduction of world ornaments, and
the other had reference to the out
having of war.
ct has been and is my expecta-
ton that we might hopefully APP
proach other great powers for fur
Their conference on this subject as
soon as the carrying out of the
present PREPARATION plan as the
established and settled policy Of
Europe has created a favorable OPP
portunity," he said with regard to
armament reduction. "But on ac-
count of proposals which have al
ready been made by other gov
ernments for a European confer
ence, it will be necessary to wait
to see what the outcome of their
actions can be. | should not wish
to propose or have representatives
attend a conference which would
contemplate commitments opposed
to the freedom of action we desire
to maintain unimpaired with re-
spect to our purely domestic poll
cies."
Proposals to outlaw aggressive
warfare, the resident asserted,
should be carefully studied and
sympathetically Viewed.
Combining discussion of tax re-
vision with his statement on econ
omy the executive said that if
congress at this session kept with
in the budget he had presented sit
will then be possible to have a
moderate amount of tax reduction
and all the tax reform that con-
gress may wish for during the
next fiscal year" He declared
publication of income tax payments
to be detrimental to the public
welfare and bound to decrease pub
lie revenues" and urged the re-
peal of that section of the revenue
act.
Aside from his declarations rel
alive to economy and taxation,
the outstanding recommendations
on domestic affairs made by the
president included:
