New Or leans January closed at 15.31 cents, il points lower, and March at 1851 cents, 31 points lower Spots declined 45 points in New York to 1925 cents and 25 points in New Orleans to 1925 cents.

(By United Fress)

Washington, Dec. 7.-Senator Hard ing today continued his series of con- ferences with Republican congression- al leaders for the shaping of the poli- cies he will follow as president h. as much as his present stay at Wash ington will be his last before his in- auguration, the presldent-e Is holding conferences with as many na- tional leaders as possible.

(By nited Presa>

London, Dec. 7.-While British lead CTS make no positive declaration that truce with the Sim Fein govern ment impends, the atmosphere today Is clearer than at any other time since the start of the insurrection. A truce may be accepted before night.
 Arthur Henderson, leader of the labor party, returned today from Ire land, presumably with the peace terms which the Sim Fein will offer. He has held numerous conferences with Irish leaders. No intimation was given as to the nature of the peace.
 All indications today were that the fighting would be continued until the hour of the armistice. British forces continued their raids without abate- ment on Sim Fein centers and the re- volters captured were placed unde, arrest. Ambush of British police and constabulary was continued by the S.nn Fein terrorists with as much reg ularity and bloodshed as common.

MESSAGE IS READ
 10 HOUSE, SENATE NO MENTION OF TREATY
Favors Freedom Given to Philippine Islands-Six Items Listed for
 Congress Action.
(By United rreasi

1 tBy United rressf Washington, Dec. 7.-Congress was summoned by President Wilson, whose final message was read separately to the house and senate today, to enact program of legislation which will put America in the forefront of achievement to make the spiritual power of democracy present through out the world Before the message was transmitted to congress, it was announced at the white house it would be sent by messenger and that the president would not appear in person before a joint session of the house and senate.
 President Wilson told congress there are two ways in which Amer ica can lead the world in establish ing universally the doctrine that right makes might First, by offering to the world an example of the will and power of Democracy within American borders through the enactment and en- forcement of laws which shall be un- occasionally just and equitable in their administration. Second, by standing for right and justice in American relations with other world powers.
 The president declared that display by congress of disposition to remedy any injustice or evils that may have shown themselves in our national life will afford most effectual offset to the forces of chaos and tyranny which are playing so disastrous a part in the fortunes of free peoples everywhere.
 No mention of the peace treaty or the league of nations was made by President Wilson in the entire course of his address. He submitted the fol lowing legislation for immediate con. sideration by congress-:
 1. Immediate adoption of the bud get system to control governmental expenditures.
 ?. Strictest economy in the allow ance of all federal appropriations.
 8. Immediate revision of tax laws
 4. Adequate provision for disabled American soldiers and sailors.
 5. Immediate grant of govern ment loans to Armenia.
 6. The grant of independence tt the Philippine Islands.
 In addition to these six items, tn, president repeated his former recon l mendation that all possible encourage ment be given to manufacture of dy, stuffs and kindred chemical sub stances. He also recommended tn, enactment of legislation to supervis, cold storage and the sale of food helt in cold storage, and the federal licens ing of all corporations engaged in in terstate commerce as means of re ducing living costs.
