Presidents Message
Wins Approval From
Official Washington
Bv Associated Prcss

Washington, Jan. approval OF
President Wilson's address to Con-
gress, setting forth Americas pro-
gram for war and peace. was heard
on every side in Washington to-day
and the opinion seemed universal that
the President had chosen the psycho-
logical moment to counteract any evil
effects of Germany's latest peace
propaganda.
Although some members professed
to believe that the Germans might
find the terms laid down acceptable
as a basis of negotiations most off,
cials saw in the definite proposals of
the address only a great war docu-
ment clearing the atmosphere for the
allies, heartening the Russians and
furnishing light for the German
people IL they chose to see it.
To COunteract DuplIcIty
1t was authoritatively stated that
the President decided to address Con-
gress at this time in an effort to pre-
vent resumption of negotiations be-
tween the Russians and Germans at
st-Litovsk and counteract the du-
plicity OF the Germans shown in their
dealings with the Russians. The
President in making his speech as
sumed the Russo-German peace nego-
tiations definitely had been broken
off.
Another reason for the Presidents
message was found In the necessity
of making some reply to the request

News and Editorials

London. Jan. 9.-President Will
sons speech, like all his utterances
since America entered the war,
takes the leading places in both the
news and editorial columns of the
London press. one newspaper de-
scribes it as The Magma Charta of
future peace"
Coming so closely on the heels of
Premier Lloyd Georges address at
the labor conference, the words of
the heads of the American and Brit
iSh governments are compared
closely. While some differences are
found in the manner of discussing
the various questions this evenings
newspapers find no disagreement in
essential policy. 1t is noted that the
President deals more sympath etiCai-
~ with the Bolsheviki than did the
Premier, but ii is pointed out that
America has not suffered from the
Russian collapse as the western al
lies have However, the Westminster
Gazette welcomes Mr.. Wills n's
careful, sympathetic language" and
says it hopes that 'all misunder-
standings which may have arisen
from other statements will be remov-

which the President adopts the
Russian demands as his own"
Under Big Headlines
The speech appears in the news
papers under big headlines such as
Americas Terms to Germany"
World Peace Program, and "GI rat
Program of International Reforms"
The Evening News in its htroduc-
ton describes the speech as one of
worldwide Importance in which the
President laid down Americas peace
terms in clear, direct and simple
language.
The News regards as noteworthy
passages of the speech those offer
ing help to Russia and declaring that
the peace negotiations must be ahso-
lutely open.
The Star emphasizes the passages
referring to the freedom of the sea,
reduced armaments, abolition of Sc
cret diplomacy and taking n stand
against economic warfare after the
conclusion of peace. 1t describes the
speech as a clear cut definition of the
aims of the allies.

$lOO, 100000 Freed
From Tax by Court

New York, Jan. 9. - The decision
Of the United States Supreme Court
that stock dividends may not be con-
sidered as income will relieve from
income taxes almost 500. OOO.O 600
which before the ruling was made
was being counted as income. 4 sur
vey of stock dividends in 1917 shows
that thirty corporations. distributed
stock with par value of S99,3ll III.
and il had been the purpose of the
income tax collectors to assess the re-
cipients as though the par value were
equivalent to cash.
Probably the largest beneficiary of
the Supreme Courts decision is
Charles NJ. Sehwab, chairman of the
Bethlehem Steel Corporation. No one
except Mr.. Schwab knows exactly
how much of his company's stock he
owned before the capital increase was
Vcted last year, but he was popularity
credited with about half of it, or 81

per cent gave him 100000 more.
and under the income tax law as
originally constructed he would have
naid as though the dividend had been

have been subjected. under n strict
application of the new income tax
law. to the surtaNes all the way up
