In conclusion, he expressed in
philosophic vein his views on the
American system Of government.
He said:

individualists peculiarly our
own which must not be forgot

for from 1t have grown greater
accomplishments than those Of
any other nation"
The Federal Government, he
said, should act as q regulatory
agent in national affairs, and
not as a participant in economic
and social life" He concluded:
The moment the Government
participates it becomes a COM
petitOr with the people. AS a
competitor, it becomes at once
a tyranny in whatever direction
it may touch"

the reason for this Is understood
to be that he will shortly trans
NIT to Congress a special supple
mentary message dealing with
this controversial issue.
Conversations with the debtor
countries over the manner in
which they are to meet their De-
cember Is payments are still in
progress, and the President did
not wish to embarrass them by
specific recommendations at this
time.
He referred only in passing to
the recent general election, which
saw the greatest defeat his party
has witnessed in years. He said:
"WhiIe we have recently en-
gagged in the aggressive contest
Of a general election, ITS very
tranquility and the acceptance
Of its results furnish abundant
proof of the strength of our in.

When John F. Kroutil, a mil

their friends to dinner at the
Raleigh Hotel last night he didn't
know what friendly relations ex.
listed around the Capitol.

in addition to the reduction in
expenditures. Many of thc man.
ufacturers' excise taxes upon Sc
lected industries not only failed
to produce satisfactory revenue,
but are unjust and discrimina-
tory.
"The time has come when, if
the Government is to have an
adequate basis of revenue to as
sure a balanced budget, this sys-
tenn Of special manufacturers
excise taNes should be extended
to cover practically all manufac-
lures at a uniform rate, except
necessary fOcH and possibly

The message Mr.. Hoover sent
to the Capitol was not only his
final report on the state of the
but it was the shortest of
The Washington times., 1932-12-06

that he was definitely opposed to
that form of compensation reduc-
ton.
President Hoover's demand for a
further attack on low Federal
salaries was denounced by many
members of Congress. They re-
membered that he called a con-
ference Of business men two years
ago.
Following that conference public
statements were issued that the
President had appealed to the
leaders of private industry to
avoid reductions in wages he

They also recalled that it was
he who cried out against the
original pay cut proposals, and
through his instrumentality the
furlough was substituted.
The President reported to Con-
gresS that the budget which he
will transmit tomorrow will call
for $3.50, ,000, 900 net less expendi-
lures than are contained in the
budget for the present fiscal year.
On the burning issue of prohibi-
ton, the message was eloquently
silent. The word did not appear
throughout the nearly 1000 words
Of his last report to Congress on
the state of the nation.

TINE season has now reached the
stage where upsets may be in
order.
Some teams which began the
season with high hopes have suffered
disappointments. 1t is pretty hard for
a team to wipe the blood from its mouth
and keep its battle flag still flying. I
wish every boy could read that SYM
pathetic and inspiring poem, Song Of
the Unwhipped," which appeared in
Grantland Rice's column a few days
ago.
1t is unfortunate that so many people
think solely of championships and look
upon defeats as stigmas. 1t would be
much better II we could Judge teams
upon the basis Of opportunities. hard
schedules and injuries and test them in
the light of whether they can look

have received.
Three conference teams play inter-
sectional games - Georgia-New York
