passage. HIS announcement fol-
lowed a favorable report by repre-
sentative Mann of Illinois ehairamn
of the House Suffrage Uommittee.
Washington, May 20-Pres:dent
Wilson in his message to Congress
recommended the repeal OF the war
time prohibition Law as far as it ap-
piled to the manufacture of wine
and beer on1y-a1so the return of
the railroads, telegraph and tele-
phone systems OF the country to
their original owners; reduction
the manufacture and retail sales
exercises; and outlined a program
respecting labor. These were the
high spots in the message that
the President cabled from Paris.
Besides that he again urged the en-
actment of the Woman Suffrage
constitutional amendment. He rec
commended that the tariff laws be
supplied with teeth in order to
protect American industry against
foreign attack. He also spoke for
legislation to facilitate American
enterprises through the expansion
of our shipping industry, and
backed Secretary Lanes program
for land for returning soldiers.
OF the Paris Peace conference and
the League OF. Nations the President
stated that any comment or discus
sion OF that subject would be pre-
mature, and intimated that Congress
should wait until the matter was
complete before passing judgment.
He also avoided discussion of do
mestic legislation on account of his
long absence from America and his
unfamiliarity with conditions at
home.
His recommendations for the re-
peal of war time prohibition and re-
turn of the railroad and wires to
their owners, while not unexpected
