Text Of Presidents Message To the Sixty-Sixth Congress

Washington, May 2o.-The text ol President Wilson's cabled message tc Congress follows:
 "Gentlemen of the Congress: I deep y regret my inability to he present It the opening of the extraordinary ses- sion of Congress. It still seems to be my duty to take part in the councils # the peace councils and con3 3bute what I can to the solution of the in- aumerable questions to whose settle ment it has had to address itself. For they are questions which affect Inc peace of the whole world, and from hem, therefore. the United States cam not stand apart. l deemed it my duty 70 call the Congress together at this lime because it was not wise to post bone longer the provisions which must oe made for the support of the gov srnment Many of the appropriations maintenance of the government and the iulfillment of it's varied obligations for the fiscal year 1919-1920, have not yet ,een made: the end of the present fis- gal year is at hand, and action upon .hese appropriations can no longer be orudently delayed. It is necessary, therefore, that l should immediately all your attention to this critical need. lt is hardly necessary for me to urge hat it may receive your prompt at iention.
 "I shall take the liberty of address .ng you on my return on the subjects which have most engrossed our atten- ion and the attention of the world dur

MUST PROVIDE FOR PROTECTION


 "The United States, should moreover. have the means of properly protecting itself whenever our trade is discrimi- hated against by foreign nations, in order that we may be assured of that | equality of treatment which we hope to accord and to promote the world over. 1 Our tariff laws as they now stand, pro- l vide no weapon of retaliation in case other governments should enact legisla- I tion unequal in it's bearing on our prod l ucts, as compared with the products of other countries Though we are as far l as possible from desiring to enter upon any course of retaliation, we must l frankly face the fact that hostile 1egis- l lation by other nations is not beyond the range of possibility. and that it may i have to be met by counter legislation This subject has fortunately been ex l haustively investigated by the United Sta tes tariff commission. recent re- l port of that commission has shown very clearly that we lack and that we fought to have the instruments necessary 1 for the assurance of equal and equitable 1 treatment. The attention of the Con- gress has been called to this matter on past occasions, and the past measures which are now recommended by the tar | if comm mission are substantially the same that have beep suggested by pre- 1 vious administrations, l recommed that | this phase of the tariff question receive the early attention of the Congress. I .'Wnl you not permit me, turning from these matters, to speak once more and very earnestly of the pro- posed amendment to the constitu- | ton which would extend the suf- frage to women and which passed l the House of Representatives at | the last session of the Congress-? | 1t seems to me that every consd- errtion of justice, and of public ad- vintage. calls for the immediate
 adoption of that amendment. and
 it's submsson forwith to the legis-
 latures of the several states | Throughout all the world this long delayed extension of the suffrage is looked for: in the United States longer, I believe. than anywhere else, the neces- sity for it and the immense advantage of it to the national life has been urged and debated by women and men who saw the need for 1t and urged the policy of it when it required steadfast courage to be so much beforehand with the com mon convictions: and I. for one, covet for our country the distinction of being among the first to act in a great re- fOrm

Superior Shows Up
 After Being Lost at
 Sea for Three Months
By Associated Pres,

New York, May 20.-Three months after the 50-year-old Norwegian bark Superior became a mystery of the sea by disappearing" off the Island of Bali in the Malay archipelago on Q voyage from Manila to New York, the vessel arrived here today with her captain after the ship had been given up as lost. The crew was recruited in San Francisco before she sailed from that port for the Philippines in Deceni- Der. 1918.
 Captain Hansen explained that after he and the crew, believing the Superior was going on the rocks, put out in two lifeboats toward shore, the wind veerei and his own boat return to the ship. Meanwhile the mate and six of the crew went ashore and believing the vessel had been lost and that the cap- tain and other members had perishcd,

sent cable message to Norwegian American Trading company here. char terers of the vessel, saying she ha disappeared and that "it is mysteri- ous case" A search by government authorities in the Philippines failed to locate the vessel.
 Captain Hansen thought the mate and his six companions were drowned. Prior to her "disappearanceg the Su- perior had loaded at Manila a cargo of hemp and sugar, which she brough. here.

their labor sustains and advances? How are they to be given their rightful ad- vantage as citizens and human beings?
 We cann>t go any further in our
 present direEion. We have already
 gone too far We cannot live our
 right life as nation, or achieve our
 proper success as an industrial com
 munity if capital and labor are to
 continue to be antagonistic instead or
 being partners; if they are to con
 tinue to distrust one another and
 contrive how they can get the better
 of one another
 Or what perhaps Amounts to the same thing, calculate by what form and de- gree of coercion they can ms mage to ex- tort on the one hand work enough to make enterprise profitable, and on the other justice and fair treatment enough to make life tolera ole. That bad road has. turned out blinG alley. It is no thoroughfa se to real prosperity. We must find another leading in another direc- ton, and to a very different destination. It must lead not merely to accommoda- l. tion, but also to a genuine cooperation and partnership based upon a real com munity of interests and participation in control

HOPES TO RETURN SOON

q hesitate to venture any opinion vr press any recommendation with re- gard 10 don estic Legislation while ab- sent from the United States and out of daily touch with intimate sources of information and counsel l am con scious that I need after so long an at sence from Washington, to seek the advice of those who have remained in constant contact with domestic prob lens and who have known them close at hand from day to day;Dand l trust that it will very soon be possible for me to do so. But there are several questions pressing for consideration to which I feel l may, and. indeed. must, even now direct your attention. if only in general terms. In speaking of them, I shall. l dare say, be doing little more than speak your own thoughts. l hope that I shall speak your own judgment also.
 "The question which stands at
 the front of all others in every
 country amidst the present great
 awakening, is the question of la
 bor and perhaps I can speak of it
 with as great advantage while en-
 grossed in the consideration of in-
 terests which affect all countries
 alike as I could at home and amidst
 the interests which naturally most
 affect my thoughts, because they
 are the interests of our own people.
 By the question of labor l do not mean the question of efficient industrial productions; the question of how labor is to be obtained, and made effective in the great process of sustaining popula- tions and winning success amidst com mercial and industrial rivalries I mean that much greater and more vital ques- tion, how nre the men and women who do the daily labor of the world to ob- tain progressive improvement in the con- ditions of their labor, are to be made happier and to be served better by the communities and the industries which

BEERS AND WINES


 "The demobilization of the military forces of the country has progressed to such d point that it seems to me entirely safe now to remove the-b ban upon the manufacture and sale of wines and beeps, but I am advised that without further legislation I have not the legal authority to remove the present restrictions. I, therefore. recommend that the act approved November 21, 1918, entitled: An act to enable the Secretary of Agriculture to carry out during the fiscal year. ending June 90, 1919. the purposes of the act entitled "An act to provide further for the national security and defence by stimulating agriculture and facilitating tNe distribution of agri- cultural Iroducts. - and for other purposes, he amended. or repealed in. so far as it applies to wines and beers

fbetter than I can. 1 can only suggest the lines of permanent and worka- ble system, and the placing of the taxes where they will least hamper the life of the people.
 IMPORT DUTIES SATISFACTORY
 There is fortunately no occasion for undertaking in the immediate future any general revision of our system of import duties No serious danger of foreign competition now threatens American industries Our country has emerged from the war less disturbed and less weakened than any of the European countries which are our com petitors in manufacture. Their indus trial establishments have been sub jected to greater strain than ours. their labor force to 9 more serious disorgan- ization and this is clearly not the time to seek an organized Sdvantage. The work of mere reconstruction will I am afraid, tax the capacity and the re- sources of their people for years to come. So far from there being any dan ger or need of accentuated foreign compet tition, it is likely that the condi tions of the next few years will great ly facilitate the marketing of Ameri- can manufacturers abroad. Least of all should we depart from the policy adopt ed in the tariff act of 1913 of permitting the free entry into the United States of the raw materials nedeed to supplement and enrich our own abundant supplies.
 Nevertheless there are parts of our tariff system which need prompt at- tention. The experiences of the war have made it plain that in some cases too great reliance on foreign supply is dangerous and that in determining cer- tain parts of our tariff policy, domestic considerations must be borne in mind which are political as well as economic Among the industries to which special consideration should be given is that of the manufacture of dyestuffs, and re- lated chemicals. Our complete depend- ence upon German supplies before the war made the interruption of trade a cause of exceptional economic disturb ance The close relation between the manufacturer of dyestuffs on the one hand and of explosives and poisonous gases on the other. moreover, has given the industry as especial significance and value. Although the United States will gladly and unhesitatingly join in the programme of international disarm- ament, it will, nevertheless. be policy of obvious prudence to make certain of the successful maintenance of many strong and we'll equipped chemical plants. The German chemical industry with which we will be brought into competition, was and may well beragaiIr a thoroughly knit monopoly capable Of exercising a competition of peculiarly insiduous and dangerous kind.

WIRES AND RAILROADS

''The telegraph and telephone
 lines will, of course, be returned
 to their owners so soon as the re-
 transfer can be effected without ad-
 ministrative confusion, so soon, that
 is, as the change can be made with
 least possible inconvenience to the
 public and to the owners them
 selves The railroads will be handed
 over to their owners at the end of
 the calendar year; if I were in inn
 mediate contact with the adminis-
 trative questions, which must gov
 ern the retransfer of the telegraph
 and telephone lines, I could name
 the exact date for their return also.
 Until I am in direct contact with the practical questions involved, I can only suggest that in the case of the telegraph and telephones, as in the case of the railways, it is clearly desirable in the public interest that some Legislation should be considered which may tend tc make of these indispensable instru- mentalitfes of our modern life uniform and co-ordinated system which will af. ford those who use them as complete and certain means of communication with all parts of the country as has so long been afforded by the postal system ot the government, and at rates as uniform and intelligible. Expert advice is, ot course. available in this very practical matter and the public interest is mani fest. Neither the telegraph nor the tele. phone service of the company i. onn be said to be in any sense a national sys tenn. There are many confusions and in constituencies >of rates. The scientific means by which communication by such instrumentalities could be rendered more thorough and satisfactory has not beer made full use of. An exhaustive study of the whole question of electrical com munioation and of the means by which the central authority of the nation car be used to unify and improve it. if un dertaken by the appropriate committee. of the Congress, would certainly result indirectly even if not directly in a great pllhlics benefit
