President Sees
Prosperity If u. S.
Enters World Court

Washington, Jan. 30-Before mem
bers of his cabinet and the business
| heads of the government, President
Coolidge tonight at the 10th regular
meeting of the business organiZat ton
of the government, presented a re-
| vamped doctrine Of economy which,
he asserted. would be responsible for
additional tax reduction after the
passage of the pending bill.
The president in an address, re-
markable for it's spiritual emotion,
reiterated his belief that his policies
Of constructive economy, enlarged
prosperity and peace" would best be
benefited by adherence to the world
court.
The underlying principle Of econ
omy, he said, "is all reducable to a
question of national efficiency" He
defended conservation and economy
as neither selfish or procincial, but
rather they reveal spirit dedicated
to the service of humanity. If these
things are not important, then there
are no earthly considerations that are
important"
Continuing, he said: "How great a
need exists to emphasize the homely
fundamental virtue of government
economy is seen when we contemp-
late the mounting tide Of expenditure
and Indebtedness Of municipal and
state governments. This tendency is
one of great concern"
While on future tax reduction, to
which he devoted but few words, he
frankly predicted that such action
would be possible before 1928.
Past experience has shown that
reduction of taxes has been followed
by increased prosperity" he said, "as
the volume of business increases the
federal revenue increases. If we are
moderate in our expenditures, the
natural increase in profits ought
within the next few years to furnish
usaln with surplus revenue which
will permit further tax reduction"
Economy, he Went on, had been a
large contributing factor to prosper
ity at home, and to peace, prepara-
ton and restoration abroad. In this
connection he brought in. his firm
belief in our adherence to the world
court.
The saving Of money was not the
beginning and end of all efforts to-
wards economy he said. But it has
resulted in giving the average
American breadth of outlook, a
variety of experience, and a richness
of life that inS former generations
was entirely beyond the reach of
even the most powerful princes"
In closing he cautioned against
throwing away self-restraint and
