PRESS CONGRESS OF THE WORLD
WAS OPENED AT HONOLULU TODAY

Honolulu. Oct. 11.-Dr. Walter Will
liams. president of the Press Con-
gress of the World. which opened its
session here today has received the
following message from T. r. Will
liams, president of the American
Newspaper Publishers Association:
'''On behalf of the American News
paper Publishers Association, per-
nit me to extend heartiest greetings
to the Press Congress of the World.
1t is gathering from which it is
impossible for anything but good to
come, wherein it will be regarded in
scme quarters, perhaps. as differing
from other congresses which we all
respect too highly to mention.
TT is really of good omen to the
people of all countries that there
should be such an international con-
ference of their respective newspaper
fraternities as that which you are
holding.
THE press is, in every civilized
land. the supreme vehicle of public
opinion. and it is public opinion
which ultimately governs. That the
press by which the chief nations are
interpreted to one another, should be
internationalized in the spirit of fra
ternal good will. is therefore of the
highest consequence to men else
where.
This friendly mingling of editors
and publishers from widely separated
lands for the purpose of better under
standing and increased cooperation is
the first step toward the era of world
wide good feeling for which all man
kind so deeply yearns. The complete
success of your meeting is the earnest
wish of the newspaper men of Amer

is bound to come, the senate was told
today by Senator Smoot, Republican,
Utah. author of a manufacturers sales
tax plan which he offered as IA sub.
stitute for the excess profits tax and
the various miscellaneous taxes now

There. is no real, fundamental OBJ
lection to a sales tax" the Senator
declared. 1t is Il 'pay-aSYou-go
proposition and for that reason fa-
yored by manufacturers. though they
may pay more in taxes than under an
income and excess profits system.
But they will know to a certainty Just
what the tax is. they will pay it out
ol current receipts. 1t can be i'm
mediate.y charged into costs as
definite amount and without the in
flation which has existed under the
excess profit tax and all taxes are
charged into costs just as rent, wages,
materials purchased. interest and all
other expenses
Everyone to whom it applied
would be able to ascertain the amour.
OF his liability at a glance. and the
process of working ont tax return
would lose all its terrors. 1t will

pei business to adjust itself to taxes.
Replying to arguments that the
tax was impossible Of adj
Senator Smoot said this
was not tax; that a manufacturers
tax was being solicited under the
present tax law and that collections
could be made in the same manner
under his proposal.

A Paris dispatch of Sunday night,

authoritative source. stated that Gen
Pershing intended to sail for home
October 20 and would not wait for
the ceremony over the unknown Brit
ish soldiers tomb because of the lack
of available time for the trip before
his sailing date. If the ceremony
were held, the dispatch added, an
other American officer would be des-
ignated to represent the United
States.
