WILSON MAY INSIST
ON READING MESSAG
President. However, Has Not Def
nitely Announced Plans for
Opening of Congress.

Washington, Deo. 4.-Presidcnt Will
son was represented today as being
strongly desirous" OF appearing In per
son before next week to deliver what will
be his last annual message to that body.
He has not yet, however, made known
his plans.
Both Secretary Tumufty and Rear
Admiral Grays on tho Presidents ply
sioian, profess complete ignorance OF MIR.
Wilson's decision and IL is NOT expected
that he will mako it known until just
before Congress is ready to receive the
Executives message next Tuesday.
Those In close touch with the Presi-
dent have stated that his health had
improved so rapidly in the past few
weekr that there was no doubt of his
ability 70 go before Congress if he de-
sired 30 do 30. Mr.. Wilson ceased using
his wheelohair more than week ago
and il was said that no would be able To
20 TO the Capitol without the aid Of either
his wheelchair or n cane.
Senate and House leaders have sought
information from the White House as TO
whether the President will receive this
year the committee usually appointed at
the opening day of Congress formally to
notify him that the Legislative body was
in session and ready 20 receive communi-
cations from the Executive, but as yet
no reply has been gwen.
Because of the Presidents Illness the
formality Of committee visit 10 the
White House was dispensed with last
December and the President was noti-
fed by letter that Congress was in ses-
sion. The annual message then WAS
transmitted TO the Senate and House by

Interpretation of tho enforcement act.

ingredient can be made oniy by manu-
facturers Of food products who Obtain

half Of one per cent Of alcohol.
They also state that the regulations 70

PLAN HALF A BILLION
INCOME FROM TARIFF
@. o. p. Hopes to Curtail Imports
and Create Home
Monopoly.

Washfngtm, Dec. IA protective
thrift 70 raise half billion dollars AN
nually and tho repeal Of the excess proft
tax werc outstanding points of tentative
rrvrnue program outlined this after
noon by Chairman Joseph w. Fordney Of
tho Ways and Means Committee, who
returned To Washington yesterday. He
will call meeting next week to make
plans for tariff hearings 70 sAart soon
after tho Christmas holidays, with a
Wow TO having bill roedy for o<msidenn-
ton early in the special scssion.
Representatives Nicholas Longwmth, /,
Republican member Of the Ways and
Means Committee, said yesterday there
are two available substitutes for the
excess profits tax. One is tax on Gales
and the other Ia tax on undistributed
profits. He believes the latter is the more
practicable of the two.
BY undistributed profits is meant the
accumulated noome Of a concern. A tax
on this source Of revenue could be made
TO raise billion and quarter dollarr.
Mr.. Iongworth estimates IL would be
optional with n concern as 70 how much
Of it's earnings IL should not divide and IL
could virtually determine beforehand the
amount Of the tax il would pay.
MIR. Longworth pointed out that IL the
profits were distributed those who re-
ceived the same would be compelled TO
pay the income taxes, which would be
heavier thnn the tar on undistributed
profits. The new tax would avoid considers
tion Of the invested capital Of q concern,
which has caused much complaint against
the excess profits system.
Mr.. Fordney does not share the optimism
of some OF the Senate protectionists who
predicted recently that upward n a
billion dollars could be counted on from
a revised tariff He thinks 30 attempt
such an amount would be dangerous
policy for two reasons: First, that the
necessarily high customs duties would
tend 20 ctrtail imports. and second, that
they would create monopoly st home
which he would like % avoid Tie wants
10 eliminate what he terms unfair advan-
tages over home producers enjoyed by
articles which were placed on the free list
by the Democratic tariff or the duties
on which were lowered 10 virtually moth

Washington. Dec 4.-The crusade Of
reform organizations for the restriction

a climax yesterday when bill WAS drawn
up for introduction next week, forbidding
all citisens abroad and members OF the
American Diplomatic and Consular Ser.
ices TO serve liquors at public or oihclai

beverages are dispensed. The bill also
would require the Diplomatic Service to
enforce this provision.
This measure. which Senator Jones
author of the District of Columbia SUN
day Bill, will introduce, If enacted INTO

prevent Ambassador John ". Davis from

ings at the ST. James Club in Piccadily,
which in open 10 all members of the Diplo-
matte Corps. II would bar drinks from
the table of every American Ambassador.
1t might even prohibit 8 diplomat from
handing friendly visitor glass of wine

The proposed bill goes further than
any suggestion heretofore made in con-
neotion with the Prohibition movement
IL is advocated by DR.. Wilbur Z. Crafts,
who is acting for the various societies
affiliated with the reform movement.
Drastic penalties arc provided for in
fringement of the proposed law. The
second offense would entail a prison term
Of from SIX months 10 six years In such
cases the sentence is mandatory, the Judge
