ASQUITH, GEORGE, LAW RESIGN FROM CABINET
PRESIDENT’S OPENING ADDRESS
TO CONGRESS CONTAINED NO
ADVOCACY OF NEW POLICIES
International Now* Service.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.—President
Wilson left the White House at 1:1:40
when he went to the houes of repre
sentatives to deliver the customary
address to members of congress.
His ac.dres3 was very short and
required only eighteen minutes for
its delivery. Brief as the speech was
it was read by the president from
the printed copy which every member
had before him on his desk.
The president’s address advanced
no new policies but was confined
principally to advocating the enact - 1
ment of legislation which lias alreday
been presented to congress in one
form or another.
The chief subjects dealt with were
the railroads,a corrupt practices mens- ;
ure, reform legislation, the encour- I
ment of trade with foreign countries,
I the fostering of sea trade, citizenship
for the people of Porto Uico, and
education of the masses along voca
tional lines.
The address was a disappointment
to those who hoped for sensational
suggestions in regard to the rail
roads, a declaration of a firm Mcxi- 1
can policy, and a discussion of nr- '
tional difficulties arising out of the !
European war.
After his speech the president re
turned to the White House accom
panied by Secretary Tumulty with
three secret service men in the au
tomobile.

of all reports to the contrary and

unwillingness of Asquith to consent
to a smaller war council from which
Asquith himself would be excluded.

conscription such as Germany now
has, his opposition to greater power
