need for further tax reduction and
declared he approved "hi principle"
the bill drafted by tho Ways and,
Menna committee.
Tux llrdiK-tluiM Too Iarfce.
"In i far as Income-tax exemp
tions are concerned," he continued,
"It seems to me the committee, has
gone as far an It is safe to go and
somewhat further than 1 should have
gone.''
in a long discussion of foreign
relations, Mr. Coolidge made these
assertions:
That the Locarno security agree-
ments represent the success of the
policy of having European countries
settle their own political problems!
without Involving the 1-nltcd States.
That reduction of land armaments
not onlv is of prime Importance, but
a problem peculiarly European in la
practical aspects, and that "our
country would look with particular
gratitude upon any action which
those countries might take to re
duco their ,own military forces."
Disarmament Favored.
That "the general policy of our
country la for disarmament, and It
ought not to hesltato to adopt any
practical plan that might reasonably
be expected to succeed. Hut It would
not care to attend a conference
which from its location or consti-,
tuency, would In all probability,
prove futile."
That American participation in
the world court . would not mean
Involvement In the league of Na
tions, but would "contribute greatly
to the advancement of our Ideals."
That debt settlements already ne
gotiated "impoae no undue burden
and are mutually beneficial" and
that "every rcasounhlc effort will(
be made lo secure agreements - for
liquidation with tho remulning coun-i
tries."
Turning to domestic issues, the!
president advocaHcd anew nact-l
ment of a selective service act for
mobilization of materials as well . as
men In emergencies. The report of
the air board ought to be "rcas-t
suring," he declared, adding that
the depart'ments of war, navy and
commerce, "should each be provided
with an udditional assistant secre
tary, not necessarily with statutory
duties hut who would bo available
under tho direction of tho secretary
to give especial attention to air
navigation." j
..Need of, Air .Fleet,
"Wo must have an air strength
worthy of America, "he said, "Pro
vision should he. made for two ad-!
ditional brigadier generals for the
army
air service. Temporary rank
corresponding to their duties should
bo awarded to active flying officers
In both army and navy."
Wltji reference to agriculture, the
president regarded Its position as a
whole, Improved, although many lo
calities and individuals still are In
a distressing condition. In his opin
ion, farmers generally do not wish
meddling by the government or di
rect or Indirect prlco fixing "which
would result from permitting the
government to operate In tho agri
cultural markets" nd power should
bo given tho department of agricul
ture to aid marketing associations
without undue regulation.
Ono Control In Shipping.
In his analysis of the merchant
marine problem, he took the view
that while elimination of the regional
representation feature of the ship
ping board Is not desirable, "it has
become apparent that without cen
tralized executive action the man
agement of this great business
will flounder In incapacity and lan
guish under a division of council." .
Pointing out that tho federal gov
ernment bus little to deal with tho
situation in the coal Industry, ho
advocated authority for appointment
of temporary boards with authority
to call for witnesses and documents,
conciliate differences, encourage arbi
tration and In case of threatened
si-arclly exercise control over dis
tribution. For Kn forcing I, aw.
As for prohibition, tho president
said :
"I'ndcr the orderly processes of
our fundamental ln I tuft Ions the
constitution was lately amended pro
viding for national prohibition. The
congress passed an act fop Its en
forcement, and similar acts have
been provided by most of the states.
It Is the law of the land. It hi the
duly of all who come under Its
Jurisdiction to observe the spirit of
that law, and It Is the duty of the
department of Justice and the treas
