PRESS CONGRESS-
 SESSION BEGINS
Harding Sends Message to Hono-
 lulu Gathering ;.

Honolulu, Oct. 12.-The formal opening of the press congress of the world annual convention here yester- day was marked by the reading of message from President Harding by Governor Harrington of Hawaii
 Walter Williams of Columbia Mo-. president of the congress in his an- nual address called upon the journal ists to "disarm the typewriters of the lingo press of the world" and said through such an accomplishment linn ltatlon of armaments would become a reality. He also broached the plan of league of Journalists dedicated to the ending of secret diplomacy and imperialism and which would de- vote itself to justice and fair play sponsoring harmony and friendliness t The speaker declared the congress was the outgrowth of an increasing professional spirit among journalists and said the membership now num- bers 2,300 in more than 50 countries
 President Williams said the execu- tive committee of the congress had prepared the following questions for discussion during the conventions:
 What preparations should man make to become a journalist?
 How far is the freedom of the press necessary, and desira ble?
 How can the freedom of the press be best attained and safeguarded?
 How may the best avenues of news throughout the world be established, maintained and kept open?
 "The new world of journalism is the outcome of q new world spirit" declared MT. Williams. Ut is a struggle among the people of the world for different relations and con viction that they should have more to say concerning their own fortunes.
 We engaged in the profession have common faith in it's high purposes and possibilities and it's service to the well fare of mankind. If we do our ut most, wars would become impossible and the world would become tran quihzed and made more prosperous. Everywhere good will would replace hate and it is increasingly true that the pen is Inightier than the sword"
