PRESIDENT SAYS HIS DUTY TO
ATTEND PEACE CONFERENCE

In an address to Congress in Joint
session yesterday President Wilson
formally announced his intention to
90 TO Paris for the peace conference
saving the allied governments had
accepted principles given by him for
reace. and it is his paramount duty
70 be present.
The President said he will be in
close touch by cable and wireless and
that Congress will know all that he
does on the other side.
No definite program of reconstruc-
ton can be outlined now, Mr.. Wilson
said. but as soon as the armistice was
signed. government control of bust
ness and industry was released as far
as possible.
Much of the address was devoted to
the railroad problem, for which the
President said he now had no solu-
ton to offer. He recommended care
full study by Congress, saying it
would be a disservice to the country
and to the railroads to permit a re-
turn to old conditions under private
management without modification.
The President declared he stood
ready to release the railroads from
government control whenever salts
factory plan of readjustment could
be worked out.
The President said he hoped to see
a formal declaration of peace by
treaty ''by the time spring has
come"
Declaring he had no private
thought or purpose" In going to
France, but that he regarded it as his
highest duty, the President added:
1T is now my duty to play my full
part in making good what they
american soldiers) offered their
LIES blood to obtain"
The new three-year naval building
program was endorsed because, the
President said. it would be unwise to
attempt to adjust the American pro-
gram to future world policy as yet
undetermined.
Paying tribute to the peoples con-
duct in war, he spoke particularly of
the work of women and again appeal
ed for woman suffrage by federal
amendment. sEl
