WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.—In an address to Congress in joint ses- sion today President Wilson formally announced his intention to go to | Paris for the peace conference, saying that the allied governments have laceepted the principles enunciated by him for peace and that it is jhis paramount duty to be present. The President said that he would be in close touch by ¢able and wireless and that Congress will know all 'that he does on the other side. | Referring to the announcement that the French and British gov- ernments had removed all cable restrictions upon the transmission of the news of the conference to America, the President said he had taken over the American cable systems on expert advice so as to make a unified system avaialable. He expressed the hope that he would have the co-operation of the public and of Congress, saying through cable and wireless se"vice constant counsel and advice would be possible. Much of the address was devoted to the railroad problem, for which the president said he now had no solution to offer. He recom- mended careful study of it by Congress, saving it would be disservice to the country and the railtoads to permit a return to old conditions under private management without modifications. The President said he stood ready to release the railroads from government control when- ever a satisfactory plan of readjustment could be worked out. Presi- dent Wilson said he hoped to see a formal declaration of peace by treaty “by the time spring has come.” + The new three-year naval building program he endorsed because, the President said, it would be unwise to attempt to adjust the Amer- ican program to a future world policy as yet undetermined. Paying tribute ic the people's conduct of the war, he spoke par- ticularly of the work of the women and again appealed for woman suffrage by federal amendment. Declaring that he had no “private thought or purpose” in going A a but that he regarded it as his highest duty, the President added: “It is now my duty to play my full part in making good what the American soldiers offered their fife’s blood to obtain.” No definite program of reconstruction can be outlined now, he | said. He expressed the hope that Congress would not object to con- ferring upon the war trade board or some other agency ‘the right of | fixing export priorities to assure the shipment of food to the starving people abroad. President Wilson endorsed the plan for levying six billion dollars taxation in 1919 and for notifying the public that the 1920 levy should be reduced by four billion dollars. “A year ago we had sent 145,918 men overseas.
