Justice, which is a ' new and somewhat different plan. This Is not a partisan ouos- tion. it should not at-sumo an nr titlolnl importance. The court In merely a convenient Instrument of adjustment to. which wo could go, but to which we could not he brouKht. It should be discussed with .entire candor, .not by a poli tical but, by a judicial method, without pressure and without pre judice. Partisanship has no place in our foreign relations. As I wish to see a court established, and as tho proposal presents the only praotical plan on which many na tions, have ever agreed, though it may not -meet every desire, 1 there fore commend it to the favorable consideration of the Senate, with the proposed reservations clearly Indicating our refusal to adhere to tho league ot Nations. Russia ' Our. diplomatic relations, lately so largely interrupted, are now be fne resumed. ' but Russia presenu notable difficulties. 'We have eve ry desire to see. that great people, who are. our traditional friends, restored to their position among the nation of the earth. We have relieved their pitiable destitution with an enormous charity. Our Qovernment oftors no objection to the carrying On ot commerce by onr citizens- with the people of Rus sia. Our Government does not pro pose, however, to enter Into rela tions with .another regime which -refuses to recognise the sanctity of International obligations. I do not propose to barter away for the privilege ot trade any ot the cher ished rights ot humanity. I do not propose to make merchandise of .any American principles. These rights and principles must go wherever the sanctions ot our Government go. But while the favor-of America is not for sale, I m willing to make very , -large--concessions for the. purpose of .rescuing the people ot Russia. Alt-eady encouraging evidences , of returning to the an cient. ..ways of .society - can be de tected., Butj nipre . . are needed. Whenever 'there appears any dis position to compensate our citUens who wera. despoiled. . and .to re cognise -Btt debt -contracted; with our Goveouneuj; Jnpt hy "thCsar. but .by the newly formed Republlo of Russia; : whenever .the active spirit of "enmity to onr Institutions is abated; whenever there hppear Works mete for repentance; - our country ought to 'be the first to go to -the - economic and moral res ene of Russia.. -We have very de sire td help and no desire to in jure, We hope the time Is near at band when we can act.- .'Debts The . current - debt ' and- -interest due from foreign -Governments, ex clusive of the British . debt of I4.SOO.000.000, -is about - 17. 200,- 000,000, I do not favor' the cancel latlon .of this debt, but I see no objection-to adjusting it .in accord ance with the principle adapted for tUe Drltlsh debt. Our conntry would hot wish to assume the role of an oppressive creditor, but would maintain the principle that finan cial obligations between nations are likewise moral obligations which international - faith- and . honor re quire should be discharged. , Our Government has a liquidat ed claim ..against, Germany for the expense ot the army of occupation of over 1 265,000.00-0, Besides this. the Mixed Claims Commission have before - the mabout 12,600 claims of American Cltlteas, aggregating about 1225, 000,000. These claims have already been reduced by s recent .decision, but there are valid-claims reaching well -toward tfitf 0.0,00.006. -Our (thousands of clUioos with 'credits due them of hundreds- of ' million of dollars have no redress save In the .action of our Government. These are . ve ry., substantial Interests, which it Is the duty of our government ' to protect as best It can. . That Course I propose to pursue. ', It .Is for - these reasons that we have a direct interest in the . eco nomic, recovery of Europe. They aro enlarged by our desire for the sta bility of cllliatlon and - (he welfare of humanity. That we are making sacrifices to that end ' none aan deny. Our deferred interest .alone amounts to a million dollars every f, But recently we offered to aid With . our. advice and counsel.

I'pon the nrm fonu Uatlon Vesta the only hope of pro Kress anil prosperity. From that source must comu relief for the people. This 1 being aoeompllshed by a drastic but - orderly retrench ment, which Is bringing our ex penses within our means. The ori gin of this has been the determi nation of tho American people, the main sunnnrt has been the cour acn of those in authority, and the effective method has been the Bud get System. Th result has Involv ed 'real sacrifice by department heads, but It has been made with out flinching. This systom is a law of the Congress. It represents onr will. It must be maintained, and otieht to be strengthened by the example of your observance. Wlth o'i: a Budgot System there can be no fixed responsibility ami no con structive scientific economy. This great concentration of ef fort bv tho administration . and Congress has brought the expendi ture, exclusive of the self-supporting Post Office Department, down to three bllll6n dollars. It Is pos-. slhlo. in oouaenuence. to niako u lurge reduction In tho taxes of the people, which, is the solo object of all curtailment. This is treated nt greater length lu the Budget message, and a proposed plan has bven presented in detail lu a stats-; meat by the Secretary of the Treasury which has my unqualified approval. I especially commend a decrt-tae on earn" I incomes, and. I'urther abolition of admlsiiin. medium, and nuuance taxes- lie 1 rmusement and educational vo'uo of r.iovlng pictures ought not to he ttxed. - Diminishing cnar;tJa igalnct moderate incomes from in- vo-uieot will affjrd immense lief, while a revision of the sur taxes will mot only provldo addi tional money for capital invest ment, thus stimulating Industry end -employing more labor, but will not greatly reduce tho reve nue from that source, and may in the future actually Increase it. Being opposed to war t.ixes in time ot peace, I am not in favor ot excess-profits taxes. A very great service could . be rendered through immediate enactment of legislation relieving the .people of some of the burden ot taxation. To reduce -war taxes Is to give eve ry home a better chance.. For seven years the people have borne with uncomplaining courage the tremendous burden of national and local taxation. These must both be reduced. The taxes ot the Na tion must he reduced now as much as prudence will permit, and ex penditures must be ' reduced ac cordingly. High' taxes reach every where and burden- everybody. They bear most ' heavily upon the poor. They 'diminish. -Industry, and com merce. They make - axr culture un profitable. They Increase the ; rates On transportation; The ore a charge on every necessary of life. Ot all s f aurvlcea wlile.li I he. Congress can render to the country. I have no hesitation In declaring this one to ha paramount. To neitleot it, to postpone It, lo obstruct It bv un sound proposals, Is to become un worthy of public contldelieo and try wants this measure to have mttrno to public trust- The coun the right of way over all others. Another reform whlb Is urgent In our fiscal system' Is the aboli tion of the right to issue tax exempt securities. The existing sy stem not only permits a large amount of the wealth of tho Na tion to escape Its Just burden but nets as a continual stimulant to municipal extravagance. This should ho prohibited by constllu- uunui umeuiimcnt. All th wealth of . tho Nutlnn ought to contribute its fair share to the expense of the Nation. , Tariff Urn The presvut tariff law has ac complished Ha two main objects. H has secured au abundant reve nue and been productive of an abounding prosperity. Under it the country has had'n very large ex port ami import trade, a constant rcvlmton of the tariff by tho Cob greas -Is disturbing and harmful. Tho present law contains sn t'los tlc provision authorising the Pre sident to increase or decrease pres ent schedule not lu execs of 50 percent inn to meet the difference n cost of production at homo anil ubroud, This does not, to my mind, wunruut a rewriting of the whole law. but does mean, and will be so administered, that whenever the required Investigation shows that InuQuaHOe ' of sufficient Import ance exist la any schedule, the power to change them should and will be applied. The entire well being of our country la dependent upon trans-1 . i - . . . -i POFluuun ny -ea una nua, uur Government during the war ne outred a large merchant fleer which should be transferred, oa soon as posHlbln, to private ownership and operation under conditions which would secure two results: First, and ot prime importance, adequate means' for national defense; sec ond, adequate service to American commerce Until shipping condi tions are such that our fleet can be disposed of advantageously un der these conditions. t will be operated as economically as pos-: slble under such -plans as may be devised from time to time by the Shipping Board. We must have a merchant ' marine which meet these requirements, and we shall have to pay the coat ot its service. Public Improvements The lime has come to resume In a moderate way the shipping ot our Intrscosstal waterways: the control of flood waters of the Mis sslppl and ot the Colorado Rivers; the Improvement of the water ways from the Great Lakes toward the Gulf ot Mexico; -and the. dev elopment of the . great power and navigation projeot ot the St. Law rence River,' for which efforts are now being mado to secure tho ne-! cessary treaty with Canada.

That has always been the rule under which rules results In confiscation, ami confi scatory rale are of course uncon stitutional.
