AGAINST THE BONUS FOR EX-SOLDIERS He Outlines His Policies for First Time, But in This In stance He Did Not Make His Reasons Known. (By the Amim'liltrd Frews.) Washington, I>tv. (J. —President ('ool idgo addressed Congress today for the first time since he been me' Chief Execu tive. Appearing before a joint session of the House and Senate, he presented recommendations touching all the major problems confronting the nation. The Mellon*tux reduction program was given unqualified endorsement but the soldiers' bonus was disapproved. Entire reorganization of the freight rate struc ture was recommended. Mr.' Cuolidge's address broke the stud ied silence he has maintained on public questions since he entered the White House. The message had been awaited not only because it definitely outlined the legislative policy of the administration but because of the political effect it may have both upon his own fortunes and that of his party. In addressing Congress in person Mr. Coolidge readopted a policy established by Wilson nnd followed by Harding. lie spoke in the House chamber, standing at the clerk's desk in front of the speaker's dots where he had sat as vice president on the occasions that his last Chief ad dressed Congress. There was an unusual demand for tickets to the House galleries to hear the first speech of the new President, anil even standing room was at a premium long before he began to speak. Outside, on the capital plaza, another large crowd heard the address through an amplifying device, and at the same time it was car ried throughout the country by radio. On the floor of the House itself the crush was >so great that members com plained they were unable to get to the seats to which they were entitled. Mrs. Coolidge sat in the Executive Gallery. She had arrived before the House assembled nt noon.and received an ovation from the floor and galleries. I The Chief Executive gpoke slowly gnil deliberately without efforts at oratory. i The first applause came when he declared the United States saw no reason to limit its owu freedom and independence of ae tioii by joining the league of nations. President’s Message. Washington, Dee. O.—A legislative program touching almost every aspect of national life was presented by President Coolidge today in his first message to ( He endoreed President Harding's pro- j posal for American membership tvith res ervations in the world court; unquali fiedly approved Secretary Mellon's tax re duction plan, and announced his opposi tion to enactment of soldier bonus legis lation. He also went on record as favoring stimulated consolidation of railroads, re organization of the railroad freight struc ture as applied to farm products; and government assistance in the disposition of exportable wheat. He declared against price fixing for farm products; against.! repeal of the rate section of the Trans-. portation Act; and against revision of the tariff law. Making his first pronouncemeht on many public questions, the President pre sented a series of succinct recommenda tions without attempt at argument. He used exactly nine words in disposing of the bonus question. After urging ade-1 quate care for disabled former servicei men and generosity in providing such, care, he said: “I do not favor the grant ing of a bonus.” • The treatment of the world court and the Mellon tax plan was almost as hrief. In approaching the court problem he noted that American foreign policy al ways had been guided by the principles of avoidance of premanent political al liances sacrificing independence and of peaceful settlement of international con troversies. He called attention that the United States acting on these principles had for nearly twenty-five years been a member of The Hague Tribunal and ad ded that the proposed world court was “a new and somewhat different plan.” “This is not a partisan question,” he added. “It should not assume an arti ficial importance. As I wish to see a court established, and as the proposal presents the only practical plan on which many nations have ever agreed, though it may not meet every desire, I therefore commend it to the favorable considera tion of the Senate, with the proposed reservations clearly indicating our re fusal to adhere to the League of Na tions.” The endorsement of the Mellon plan was presented in the course of a dis cussion of the fiscal condition of the pattyn, during which the President called attention that through the budget sys tem and economy in expenditures, the necessities of the government, exclusive of the post office department, had been brought down to $3,000,000,000. “It is possible, in consequence, to make a large reduction in the taxes of the peo ple,” be continued* “A proposed plan lias been presented in detail in a State ment by the Secretary of the Treasury which has my unqualified approval, xxx A very great service could be rendered through immediate enactment of relieving the people of some of the burden of taxation, xxx Os all services which the Congress can ren der to the country, I have no hesitation in declaring this one to be paramount. The President prefaced his message * (Continued (m Page Eight). .96 .50 .50 .00 The Concord Daily Tribune ♦ PRESIDENT COOLIDGE [ Wiio Delivered His First Annual Mes sage to Congress Today.
