TO CONGRESS TO REPEAL THE

AND THEREBY STAIN THE
NATIONAL HONOR.
tBy Associated Pressl

Washington, March 5. Assembled
In Joint session today, the members Of
Congress heard President Wilson per-
sonally appeal to them to sustain the
National honor OF the United States
in upholding treaty obligations by re-
pealing the Panama tails exemption
against which England protests. He
asked Congress to do that ''in support
of the foreign policy Of the United
States" adding that exemption for
American ships was a mistaken
economic policy" and in violation of
the y-Pauncefote treaty. 1--WE shall
not know how to deal with other mat
ters even of great delicacy and nearer
consequence If you do not grant this
change to me In ungrudging measure.
The large thing to do is the only thing
We can afford to do, the voluntary
withdrawal from a position every
where questioned and misunderstood" "
The President said the Nation should
reverse its action without raising the
question of whether we are right or
wrong and so once more deserve our
reputation for generosity and the re
demption of every obligation without
bubble or hesitation" The message
contained 42O words.
