TRIP ABROAD HIGHEST DUTY WILSON SAYS If ADDRESS, Goes to France to Carry Out Purposes for Which Soldiers Gave Their Lives, He Tells Congress. PROGRAM FOR FUTURE

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Dec. 2 In an address to Congress In Joint session to day, President Wilson formally announced his intention to go to Paris for the peace conference, saying the allied governments have accepted the principals enunciated by him for peace and it is his paramount duty to be present The president said he would be in close touch by cable and wireless and that congress will know all that he does on the other side. Referring to his announcement that the French and British governments had removed all cable restrictions upon the transmission of news of the conference to America, the president said he had taken over the American cable system on expert advice so a to make a unified system available. He expressed the hope that he would have the cooperation of the public and congress, saying through the cable and wireless constant counsel and advice would be possible. Discusses Railroad Problem. Much of the address was devoted to the railroad problem for which the president said he now has no solution to offer. He recommended careful study by congress, saying it would be a good service to the country and to the railroads to permit a return to old conditions under private management without modifications. The president declared h xeady-tov-Teluier-an -Toao's from gov"UU,CUI' toniroi wnenever a satisfactory plan of adjustment could be worked out The president said he hoped to see a formal declaration of peace bv treaty "by the time spring has come " Endorses Tax Plan. No definite program of reconstruction can be outlined now, Mr. Wilson said, but as soon as the armistice was signed government control of business and industry was released as far as possible. He expressed the hope that congress would not object to conferring upon the war trade board or some other aemrv the -!,. of fixing export priorities to assure snipments of food to starving people abroad. As bo taxation, the dorsed the plan for levying 6 billion dollars in 1919 and for notifying the public in advance that the 1920 levy will be four million dollars. The new three year naval building program was endorsed, because, the president said, it would be unwise to attempt to adjust the American program to a future world policy as yet undetermined. Appeal for Suffrage. Paying tribute to the people's conduct In war, he spoke particularly of the work of women and again appealed for woman suffrage bv federal ! amendment. wecianng He had no "private thought or purpose" In going to France, but that he regarded it as his highest duty, the president added: "It is now my duty to plav mv full I part in making good what they (the American soiaiers) orrered their lives' blood to obtain." Democratic representatives rose and applauded vociferouTy when the president announced his intention of going in person to the peace conference. The republican side was silent and so were many senators on both sides of the chamber. The president concluded after speaking 42 minutes, and left the chamber amidst applause limited to the democratic side. Interruption of the address for questions which had been threatened by some republican members of the house, did not materialize.
