Unemployment and Fa national budgt system." 1 . MLl WnsprLcited fisrures as to th (national debt and urged "rigid econo jmy" in which all branches of the gov- jemraeni snouia co-operate. . "I cannot over-emphasize," he said, I "the necessity of economy in govern ;mnt appropriations and expenditures and the avoidance by Congress of practices which take money from thf treasury by indefinit eor revolving fund appropriations." I This year's estimates "strikingly" illurtrated the importance of specific i appropriations, th President adrled, the transportation act having "dis turbed the relationship between cur that the inquiries of your several com mittee wilt discover the way and the mf thod." The only recommendation for other I than domestic matters was that for a loan to Armenia to be administered through American commissioners to avoid "further tempting opportuni ties" to revolutionary tendencies in that country; and for granting in dependence to the Phillippines "to i keep our promise to the people of tho?e islands." lief. A Washington dispatch of Dec. 7 gives the following: Both houses of Congress were in brief session today to hear President Wilson's annual message. It was read by the clerks, Mr. Wilson having heed ed the advice of the physician not to appear in person to present his sec ommendations. j Gtlleries in both Senate and House were crowded. Both those drawn by the chance that the President might appear in person or by the possibility that his mssage might touch upon the league of nations question or his own approaching retirement to pri vate life were disappointed. Mr. Wilson confined himself almost wholly to domestic questions. Only by inference did his message refer to the nearing dose of his administration land that was in the concluding para-grr.ph. The proposals he presented, the President wrote, were not so much a series of recommendations as a con fession "of the faith in which I was bred and which it is my solmen pur pose to stand by until my last fight ing day." Aside from hearing the President's message, Congress made definite prog ress on at least one of the problems it faces during the brief session. The House received a rule under which an effort will be made Thursday to take up the immigration bill for prompt action. It would limit general debate to four hours. The two day interval was allowed to permit Representative Siegel of New York, a member of the immigration committee, to frame a minority report. No other matter in either House had passed today beyond the commit- tec stage. At both ends of the capi- tol, howevre, members were deep in plans to deal with business depression, unemployment and farmers relief. Discussions in the Senate of the plight of farmers delayed the reading of the President's message in that body. The industrial .situation also found a place in the President's message. Re covery from war effects gave promise of early completion "only in our own fortunate country," said Mr. Wilson, and even here, "halts, and is impeded at times." A program of "immediate ly serviceable acta of legislation" to aid that recovery "aand prove the in destructible l-ecuperative force of a great government of people" should be- undertaken Mr. Wilson said, add- j mg: "One of these is to prove that a great democracy can keep house as successfully and in as business-like fashion as any other government." First mong the recommended steps Mr. Wilson placed enactment of a "woikable budget system." He said he had vetoed the budget bill passed at hte last session "reluctantly" and because of a constitutional objection. But because it was later revised in the Houte he believed it would with other measures furnish "foundations for a rent reeeiois and pnrfiti I fOCI " f "flln extent of ever a billion dollars. . "It is obvious," the message con tinued, that these large payments i have already seriously limited the government's progress in retiring the j floating debt." The President renewed some of the recommendations he made at the op ening of the last sssion, and added: j "I do not feel it my privilege at present to suggest the detailed and 'particular mi-thorla hv n-kiok tk. v. - - j " mi it tficat; u u- jects may be attained, but I have faith !
