Washington, Dec. 2. President Wil son today sent the following message to Congress : To the Senate and House of Repre sentatives: I sirccrcly regret that T ennnot be present at the opening of this ses sion of the Congress. I am thus prevented from presenting in as di rect n way ns I could wish the many questions that nre pressing for solu tion at this time. Happily, I have had the advantage of the advice of the heads of the sev eral executive departments who hnve kept in c!.iso touch with affairs in their detull and whose thoughtful recommendations I earnestly second. In the matter ot the railroads and the readjustment of their nffairs growing out of federal control, I shall take the liberty at a later day of addressing you. Urges Budget System I hope that Congress will bring to a conclusion nt this fcession legisla tion looking to the establishment of a midget system. That there should be one single nuthority responsible for the making of all appropriations and that appropriations thould be made not independently of each other, but with reference to one Mnglo compre hensive plan of expenditure properly related to the nation's income', there can be no doubt. I believe the burden ,of preparing the budget must, in the nature of the case, if the work is to be properly done and responsibility concentrated instead of divided, rest upon the ex ecutive. . The budget t.o prepared should be ' submitted to and approved or amend ed by n single committee of each , House of Congress and no slugle ap propriation should be made by the Congress, except such us may have been included iu the budget prepared by the executive or added by the pnr , ticular committee of Congress charged with tliu budget legislation. J . The problem is not an easy ouc. A fundamental change has taken place with reference to the position of America in the world's affairs. .. Economy Audit Needed ' Another and not less important ns 'pect of the problem is the ascertain ment of the economy and efficiency with which the moneys appropriated 'are. expended. Under existing law the only audit is for the purpose of. ascertaining whether expenditures have been lawfully made within the "appropriations. No one is author ized or equipped to ascertain whether the money has been spent wisely, , economically and effectively. Tho auditors should be highly trained ofu cials with permanent tenure in the Treasury Department; free of obliga tions to or motives of consideration for this or any subsequent admin istration, and authorized and empow ered to examine into and make re port upon the methods employed and the results obtained by the executive departments of the government. Their reports should be made to the Congress and to tho secretary of the treasury. Must Simplify Taxation I tr,ust that the Congress will give its immediate consideration to the problem of future taxation. Simpli fication of the income' and profits taxes has become an immediate nec essity. These taxes performed indis pensable service during the war. They must, however, be simplified, not only to save the taxpayer incon venience und expense, but in ouder that his liability may be made certain and definite. With reference to tho details of tho revenue law, the secretary of .the. treasury and the commissioner of internal revenue will lay beforu "you for your consideration certain amendments necessary or desirable in connection witli the administration of the law recommendations which have my approval and support. It is of the: utmost importance that iu dealing with this matter the present law should not be disturbed so far as regtfrds taxes for the calendar year 1020, payable in the calendar year 11)21, The Congress might well consider whether the higher rates of income and profits taxes can in peace times be effectively productive of revenue, and whether they may not. on the contrary, be destructive of bifslness activity and productive of waste nnd inefficiency. There is a point at which in peace times high rates of income and profits tuxes dis courage energy, rcinove the incentive to new enterprise encourage ex travagant expenditures and produce industrial stagnation, with conse quent unemployment and other at tendant evils. Public Should Come First The prejudice aud passions engen- s dered by decades of controversy be- . tween two schools of political and ' economic thought tho one believers y$ in protection American Industries, me ovaer Denevers 111 lurm iur reve nue only must bo subordinated to the single consideration of the public interest in the light of utterly changed conditions. i, i, Before tho war America was heav K tof the, debtor of the rest of the world, - ana me interest pujnieiiuj hub nau 10 i maKe to loreign countries on Ameri can securities held abroad, the ex penditures of American travelers abroad and the ocean freight charges she had to pay to others, about bal anced the value of her pre-war fa '' vprhble balance of trade. ' During the war America's exports' 1 have been greatly stimulated, and in- creased prices have increased their ; values. On tho other hand, she has purchased a largo proportion of .the American securities nrevlously held m , ahroad, has loaned some $11,000,000,- f r AAA frt tnrnltrn envprnrnPTitll. nnd hfltt w' ! liiillfc her own shins.

F meeting the favorable balance of trade in peace times : lly imports into this country of gold or of goods, or by establishing new credits. Europe Can't Ship Gold "Europe is in no nosition nt tho present time to ship gold to us nor yuum we contemplate large further imports of gold into this country without concern. The time has nearly passed for international governmental loans and it will take time to de velop In this country a market for foreign securities. Anything, therefore, which would tend to prevent foreign countries from settling for our exports by shipments of goods into this country could only Iuivo tho effect of preventing' them from pajlng for our exports and, therefore, of preventing the exports from being made. Tho productivity of the country, grcntly stimulated by the war, must find iin outlet by exports to foreign countrles,.and any measures taken to prevent imports will inevitably curtail exports, force curtailment of produc tion, load the hanking mnchluery of the country with credits to carry un sold products and produce industrial stagnation nnd unemployment. If wo want to sell, we must bo prepared t buy. Whatpvcr, there fore, may have been our views during tho period of growth of American business concerning tariff legislation, we must now adjust our own economic life to a changed condition growing out of the fact that American busi ness is full grown and that America is the greatest capitalist in the world. Isolation Policy Antiquated No policy of isolation will satisfy the growing needs and opportunities of America. The provincial standards and policies of tho pust, which have held American business as if iu n straitjacket, must yield and give way to the needs iiud exigencies of the new day in which wo live, n day full of hope und promise for Ameri can business, if we will but take ad vantage of the opportunities that are ours for the asking. The recent war has ended our isola tion and thrown upon us a great duty and responsibility. Must Share in Trade Expansion The United States must share the expanding world market. The United States desires for itself only equal opportunity with the other nations of the world and that through tho process of friendly co-operation uud fair competition the legitimate inter ests of tho nations concerned may bo successfully nud equitably ad justed. There are other matters ot Impor tance upon which I urged action at the last session of Cougrcss which aro still pressing for solution. I am sure it is not necessary for mo agaiu to remind you tlitit tliero Is oue im mediate uud very practicable question resulting from the war which we should meet iu the most liberal spirit. Tt is a matter of recognition and relief to our soldiers. I can do no better than to quote from my lust message urging this very action: Assist Iteturning Soldiers "Wo must see to it that our re turning soldiers are assisted iu every practicable way to find the places for which they are fitted in the daily work of tho country. "This can be done by developing and maintaining upon an adequate scale the admirable organization cre ated by the Department of Labor for placing men seeking work, and it can also be done, in nt least one very great field, by creating new oppor tunities for individual enterprise ."The Secretary of the Interior has pointed out the way by which return ing soldiers muy bo helped to find and take up laud iu the hitherto unde veloped regions of tho country which the federal government has already prepared or can readily prepare for cultivation and also on many of the cutovcr or neglected areas which lie within the limits of the older states: and I once more take tho liberty of recommending very urgently that hiR plans slinll receive tlie immediate and substantial support of the Congress." In the matter of turifE legislation, I beg to call your attention to the statements contained in my last mes sage urging legislation with reference to the establishment of the chemical and dyestuffs industry in America : "Amoug the industries to which special consideration should be given is that of the manufacture Of dye stuffs and related chemicals. Our complete dependence upon German supplies before the war made tho In terruption of trade, a cause of excep tional economic disturbance. Chemical Industry Important "The close relation between the manufacture of dyestuffs, on the one hand, and of explosives and poisonous gases, on the other, moreover, has given the industry an exceptional ulgnillcanco am! value. "Altliougli Mie United States will gladly and unhesitatingly Join In the program of international disarm ment.lit will, nevertheless, bolt pol icy of obvious prudence to make cer tain of tho successful niuintennn of many strong and well -equipped - tiieiiucui puiuut. "The German chemical industry, with which wo will bo brought into competition, was and may well bo agaiu, o thoroughly knit monopoly capablo of excicislng a competition of a peculiarly insidious and 'danger ous kind." During the war the farmer per formed a vital and willing service to the nation. By materially in creasing tho production of his laud he supplied America and tho Allies with the increased amounts of food necessary to keep their lmraentta armies in the field. He indispensably helped to win tho war. But there is now scarcely less need of increasing tho production in food nnd the necessaries of life. I ask tli Congress to consider .means of encouraging effort along these lines. 'H3 iwjxwuinoe.ot aolng everythlag poaaibk ycvmiU, production aleo ' economical lines, to improve market ing, and to make rural life iriorc at tractive and healthful, is obvious. I would urge approval of the pjnns already proposed to the Congress by the secretary of agriculture, to secure tho essential facts required for the proper study of this question, through the proposed enlarged programs for farm munagciueut studies uud crop estimates. Develop Natural Ilcsourrcs I would urge, also, the continuance pf federal participation in the build ing of good roads, under the terms of existing laws and under the direction of present agencies; the need of fur ther action on the part of the states and the Federal Government to pre serve nnd develop our forest re sources, especially through the prac tice of better forestry methods on privute holdings and the extension of the publicly owned forests; better support for couutry schools nnd the more definite direction of their courses of study nlong lines related to rural problems: aud fuller pro vision for tanltntiou iu rural dis tricts and the building up of needed hospital and medical facilities iu these localities. Perhaps the wnyvnight be cleared for many of these desirable reforms by a fresh, comprcheuslvo survey made of rural conditions by n con ference composed of representatives of tho farmers aud of the agricultural agencies responsible for leadership. I would cull your attention to tho widespread condition of political rest lessness in our body politic. The causes of this unrest, while various and complicated, arc superficial rath er than deep seated. Names Causes of Unrest Broadly, they arise from or are connected with the failure on the part of our government to arrive speedily at n just and permanent peace permitting return to normal conditions from the transfusion of radical theories from seething Kuri pean 'centers pending such delay, from heartless profiteering resulting in the increase of the cost of llviug. and lastly from tho machinations of passionate and malevolent agitators. AVith the return to normal con ditions, this unrest will rapidly dis appear. In the meantime, it docs much evil. It seems to me that in dealing with this situation Congress should not ho Impatient or drastic but should seek rather to remove the causes. It should endeavor to bring our, country back speedily to 11 peace basis, with ameliorated llviug con ditions under tho minimum of restric tions upon personal liberty that is consistent with our reconstruction problems. And it should arm the federal government with power to deal in its criminal courts with those per sons who by violent methods would abrogate our time-tested institutions. With the free expression of opinion and with the advocacy of orderly po litical change, however fundamental, there must be no interference, but toward passion nnd malevolence tending to incite crime and insur rection under the guise of political evolution there should be no leniency. Legislation to this end has been recommended by the attorney general and should be enacted. Would Hit High Prices Tn this direct connection, I would cnll yout attention to my recom mendations on August 8. pointing out legislative measures which would be effective in controlling nnd bring ing downline present cost of living, which contributes so largely to this unrest. On only one of these lecom meudatious has the Congress acted. If the government's campaign is to be effective, it is necessary that tho other steps suggested should be acted on at occc. Would Extend Food Control I renew and strongly urge the necessity of tho extension of the pres ent food control net as to the period of time iu which it shall remain iu operation. The attorney general has submitted a bill providing for an ex tension of this act for a period df six months. As it now stands it is limited in operation to the period of the war aud becomes inoperative upon the formal proclamation of peace. It is imperative that it should be ex tended nt once. The Department of Justice has built up extensive ma chinery for the purpose of enforcing its provisions; nil of which must be abandoned upon the conclusion of peace unless the provisions of this act are extended. During this period the Cougrcss will have an opportunity to make similar provisions nnd regulations with re gard to all goods destined for inter state commerce and to exclude them from interstate shipment, if the re quirements of the law are not com pile! with. Some suph regulation Is impera tively necessary. The abuses that have grown up In the manipulation of pricesiby the withholding of food stuffs and other, necessaries of life cannot otherwiso be effectively pre vented. There ran be no doubt of either the necessity or the legitimacy of such measures. Asic Funds for Publicity As I pointed iu my last message, publicity can accomplish a great deal iu this campaign. The alms of the government must be clearly brought to the attention of tho consuming public, civic organizations und stato officials, who. are in a position to lend their assistance to our efforts. You havo made available funds with which to carry on this campaign, but there is no provision in the law authoriz ing their expenditure for tho purposo of ranking the public fully informed about tiie efforts of tho government. Specific recommendation has been made by the attorney general in this regard. I would strongly urge upon you its Immediate adoption, as it constitutes one of the preliminary steps to this campaign. Cites N. J. Cold-Sforago Laws I also renew my recommendation that the Congress pass a law reg ulating cold storage as it is regu lated, for example, by tho laws of the state ot New Jersey, which limit the time during which goods may bo kept in storage, prescribe the method of disposing of them if kept beyond the permitted period, nnd require that goods released from storage shall in ail cases bear the daje of their re ceipt It would materially add to tho serviceability of tho law, for tho pur poso wo now have in view, If it wero also prescribed that all goods re leased from Btorago for interstate shipment should havo plainly marked upon each package the selling pr market price at which they went Into storage. By this means the purchaser would always be able to learn what profits stood between him and the producer or the wholesale dealer. I would also renew my recommen dation that all goods destined for in. tenttate commerce Miwld ia every , wh tiirforu ot psckaga PRESIDENT'S CHIEF PLEAS IN MESSAGE TO CONGRESS Refers to peace treaty by saying "causes for unrest arise from or are connected with fuiluro on part of our government to arrive speedily at a just und permanent peace."

"Let those beware who take the' shorter road of disorder and revolution." makes it possible, bo plainly marked with the price lit which they left the hands of the producer. We should formulate a law requir ing a federal license of all corpora tions engaged iu interstate commerce nnd embodying in the license, or iu tho conditions under which it is to l)e issued, specific regulations design ed to secure competitive selllug and prevent unconscionable profits in the method of marketing. Shipping Itcfoi-ms Much Needed Such u law would afford a welcome opportunity to effect other much iieeded reforms in the business of interstate shipment and iu the mcth tods of corporations which are engaged in it; but for the moment I confine my recommendations to the object immediately in hand, which is to lower the cost of living. Definite Labor Program Needed No oue who has observed the march of events in the lust 5 car can fail to note the nbsolutc need of a definite program to bring about an improve ment iu the conditions of labor. There can be 110 settled conditions leading to increased production aud a reduc tion in the cost of living it labor and capital aro to be antagonists instead of partuers. Sound thinking and uu honest desire to serve the interests of the whole nation, as distinguished from the interests of a class, must be applied to the solution of this grclt ami pressing problem. T.ie failure ot other uatious to con sider this matter iu a vigorous way lias produced bitterness aud jeal ousies and antagonisms, the food of radicalism. The only way to keep men from agitating against grlcv -antes Is to remove tho grievances. An unwillingness even f 0 discuss these matters piodiiccs only dissatisfaction, nnd pives comfort to the cxtrcmo ele ments in our country which endeavor to stir up disturbances in order to piovoho governments to cmhaiU upon u ionise of retaliation and repression. The seed of revolution is repression. Tho remedy for these things must uot ho uegative in character. It must bo constructive. It must comprehend the general interest. The real nntidote for tho unrest which manifests itself is not suppression, but n deep con sideration of the wrongs that beset our national life nud the application of a remedy. Klglit of Collective Bargaining Congress lias already shown its willingness to deal with these indus trial wrougs by establishing the eight-hour day iin the standard in every field of labor. It has sought to find a way to prevent child labor. It has served the whole country by leading tho way iu developing the means of preserving and safeguard ing lives and health in dangerous in dustries. It must now help in tho dlfiiciilt task of finding a. method that will bring about a genuino democra tization of Industry, based upon tho full recognition of tho light of those who work, in whatccr rank, to par ticipate in some organic way iu every decision which directly affects their welfare. It is with this purpose in mind that I called a conference to meet, iu Washington on December 1 to consid er these problems in all their broad aspects, with the idea of bringing about a better understanding be tween theso two interests. Must Krcognlzo Labor's Aims Tho great unrest throughout the world, out of 'which has emerged n demand for an immediate considera tion of the differences between capital and labor, bids us put our own housu in r.rdct. Fmiihly, there ran he no permanent nnd lasting settlements between capi tal ai.n labor which do not recognize me lunilumental concepts tor wlilcii labor has been struggling through liio yens. The whole world gave its recogni tion nnd indorsement to these funda mental purposes iu the league of na tions. The statesmen gathered at Versailles recognized the fact that world stability could not ho had by reverting to industrial standards and conditions against which the average workman of the world had revolted. It Is expected, therefore, that the task of tho statesmen of this new day of change and readjustment is to recognize world conditions und to seek to bring about through 'legislation conditions that will mean the ending of nge-long antagonisms between capital nnd labor and that will hope fully lead to tho building up of n comradeship which will result not only iu greater coutcutmeut amoug Mantel Chimes Clock SOLID mahogany case.

Druiy Lane tho mass ot workmen, but also bring about a greater production and 11 greater prosperity to business itself. Many Demands Aro Just To nuul.xzc the particulais in the demands of labor is to admit the jus tice of their complaint in many mat ters that lie ut their bases. The workmen demands an adequate wage, sufficient to permit him to live in coinfoit, unhampered by the fear of powrty and want in his old age. Ho demands the right to live and the right to work amidst sanitary surroundings, both in home and in workshop, surroundings that develop and do not retard his own health and well-being; aud the right to provide for his chlldicu's wants in the mat ter of health and educatiou. In other words. It Is Ills deslro to make tho conditions of his life and the lives of thoso dear to him tol erable aud easy to hear. Way to Industrial Pcaco The establishment of (lie principles regarding labor laid dowit Iu the cove nant of tho league of nations offers us tho way to industrial peace and 1011 (ilialiiin. No other road lies opeit to us. Not to pursue this one is longer to invite enmities, bitterness, and an tagonisms which in the end only lead to Industrial and social disaster. Tim unwilling workman is not a profitable servant. An cmploje whose industrial life is hedged about bj haul aud unjust conditions, which he did not create aud over which lie has no coutiol, lacks that line spirit of enthusiasm and volunteer effort which are the necessary ingredient of a great producing entity. Let us ho frank about this solemn matter. The evidences of world-wide unrest which manifest themselves iu viuleuco throughout the world bid 11s pause and consider the means to be found to stop th6 spread of this contagious thing before it saps the very vitality ot thu uatiou itself. Do we gain strength by withhold ing the remedy? (Jcas it not tho bus iness of-statesmeu to treat these niuu ilcstations of unrest which meet us on ecry hand as evidences of an economic disoider nud to apply con structive remedies wherever neces sary, being sure that in the applica tion ot the leaiedy we touch not the vital tissues of our industrial and economic life? There can bo no re cession of the tide of unrest until constructive instrumentalities are set up to stem tli.il tide. Bight to Bargain Collectively Governments must rccogui.o the right of men collectively to bargain for humane objects that have at their base the inuluul piotection and wel fare of those engaged in all indus tries, liibor must not be longer treat ed as a commodity.

The terrible tragedy of war which has just ended and which has brought tho world to the verge of chaos nud disaster would bo in vain it there should ensue return to tho conditions of the past. Duropc itself, whence lias como tho unrest which now holds the world nt bay, is an example o( standpatUm in theso vital huniano matters which America might well accept as an example, not to he followed but studiously to bo avoided. Kuropo modo labor the dif ferential, nnd tho price of it all is en mity and untngomism and prostrated industry. Tho right ot labor to livo in peace nnd comfort must bo recog nized by governments and America should he tho first to lay tho founda tion stones upon which industrial peaca shall ba built. lustico to Both Sides Labor not; only is entitled to an adequate wage, but capital should re ceive a reasonable return upou its in vestment nnd is entitled to protection at the hands of the government in every emergency. No government worthy of the naino can "play these elements against each other, for there Is a mutuality of interest between them which the government must seh to express and to safeguard at all cost. Klght to Strike Inviolate The right of individuals to strike is inviolate and ought not to bo in terfered with by any process of gov ernment, but there is a predominant right, and that is the right of the government to protect all of its peo ple and to assert its power and maj esty against the challenge of nny class. The government, when it as serts that right, seeks not to an tagonize a class, but simply to de fend the right of the whole people as against the irreparable harm and injury that might be done by the at tempt by any class to usurp a power that only government itself has a right to exercise as a protection to all. Iu tho matter ot international dis putes which have led to war, states men hive sought to set up as a remedy nrhitiatlou for war.
