President's Message in 200 Words
The senate should approve the Haring world court. The League of Nations is a closed incident, so far as the United States is concerned. I do not favor the granting of a bonus. The tariff law has produced abundant prosperity and should not be tinkered with. Congress should immediately provide for revision of freight rates. Permissive consolidation of railroads should be authorized, to be followed if necessary by compulsory consolidation. The farmers must help themselves out of their troubles, aided to a degree by the government. Selective immigration with registration of aliens should be adopted. Muscle Shoals should be sold to somebody who will produce cheap fertilizer. Every citizen should help uphold the prohibition law. The army and navy should be strengthened. The negro problem should be dealt with at once by congress. Coal prices should be reduced, and the government be given emergency powers to prevent fuel famines and profiteering. Monroe Doctrine should be upheld, Russia cannot be recognized until she repents.
