S1OO.OOO.OOO WAR
TAX Asked FOR
President Tells Congress
Levy is Necessary to Keep
Treasury Unimpaired
BOND ISSUE
UNWISE, HE SAYS
Ry The Unlted PICS.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Assuming
full responsibility to meet the emer-
gency, President Wilson today in
especial address" to a joint session of
Congress asked imposition OF in
ternal revenue taxes sufficient to
raise Sf0O,000,00O annually because
of dwindling customs revenues as
result of the European wal"
The President said the war tax"
was necessary, Immediately, to keep
the treasury unimpaired and to place
il beyond public question in strength.
He emphatically said a bond issue
would be unwise.
"We ought not TO borrow" he said.
1--WE ought TO resort 70 taxation, how
ever we may regret the necessity OF
putting additional temporary burdens
on our people"
That an emergency which did not
brook temporizing or delay, although
not of our making. exists and I'VE
must accept the inevitable with calm
Judgment and unruffied spirits" was
stated by the Chief Executive.
The President said:
Gentlemen of the Congress:
Il come to you today to discharge
a duty which / wish with all my
heart l might have been spared; but
If is a duty which is very clear, and,
therefore. I perform it without petit
tion or apology. l come to ask very
earnestly that additional revenue be
provided for the government.
During the month of August there
was, as compared with the corre-
spending month of last year a falling
off of S10.629,53S in the revenues col
lected from customs A continuation
Of this decrease in the same proper
ton throughout the current fiscal
year would probably mean a loss Of
customs revenues of from sixty to
one hundred millions. / need not
| tell you to what this falling off is
due. 1t is due, in chief part, not to
the reductions recently made in the
customs duties. but to the great de-
| crease in importations; and that is
due to the extraordinary extent of
the industrial area affected by the
present war in Europe. Conditions
have arisen which no man foresaw; /;
| they affect the whole world of COM
merce and economic production; and
/ they must be faced and dealt with.
at would be very unwise to postpone
dealing with them. Delay in such mat
ter and in the particular circumstances
in which we now find ourselves as a ma
tion might involve consequences of the
most embarrassing and deplorable sort
/ for which, / for one would not care to
be responsible. It would be very dan
gerous in the present circumstances to
create moments doubt as to the
! strength and efficiency of the treasury
of the United States, its ability to as
sist, to steady. and sustain the financial
operations of the country's business. II
/ the treasury is known or even thought
( to be weak whore will be our peace
of mind: The whole industrial activity
of the country would be chilled and de-
moralized. Just now the peculiarly diff
ficult financial problems OF the moment
are being successful dealt with, witt
great self-possession and good sense and
very sound judgment; but they are only

after THE south
american TRADE
H. w. Knowles Tells Phila-
delphians How 1t May
Be Obtained
MERCHANT MARINE
is MUCH NEEDED

Horace G. Knowles, of this city,
former minister TO Bolivia, was the
principal speaker at a meeting OF
business men in Philadelphia yestel-
day at the Philadelphia Commercial
Museum. The object of the meeting
was to devise means whereby the
trade now lost to European countries
through the war might be directed to
trade channels in South America. Mr..
Knowles spoke from the standpoint
of a Bolivian. Following the meetins
a committee of twenty-five was elect
ed to carry on the work of inducing
the trade of South America to come
TO this country.
sir. Knowles said: "The resources
of the South American republics
must be translated into a purchasing
power. The countries of Europe first
went to South America with their
capital, to develop the resources of
these countries. Without this devel-
opment, how can you expect them to
have purchasing power?
Unless the United States is ready
to play the game as the manufaotur-
ers of England, France and Germany
have done, it has very little chauce in
South America today Work up a
plan for assisting South America
financially. See if Philadelphia banks
cannot organize one separate institu-
tion-if you please-to be a kind Of
investment bank to do what Europe
has done to aid in developing the rer
sources Of South America.
To-day there is not an American
manufacturer entitled to a dollar of
South American trade in competition
with a German. This war has shut
off that capital from Europe. Does
the United States think the purchas-
ing power will exist just the same?
No: if we want the trade which the
Germans had. we must go after it in
the same way that the Germans first
got it. Unless you bring about a
loosening up of American capital to
go to South America. your meetings
VIII be failures. You can only do a
'sniping' business that you are not
entitled to-"
