COOLIDGE IN HIGH PRAISE OF RED CROS Is Practical Application of High Ideal of America, President Says IDEA. IS. VERY OLD Principle ‘Is Modern Applica- tion of Ancient Principle of Charity, He Says aaa i Washifgton, Sept. 24—A ‘deep faith in the spiritual things temper- ed by the hard common sense adapted to the needs of the world is the kind of practical idealism that is represented in the history o: America, Pres{dent Coolidge said to- day in an address before the annual convention of the American Red Cross. The people, he added, are not likely to adopt any other course. The idealism of which he spoke, the president said, was illustrated by the men who went to the rescue of Europe when their own liberty and the liberty of the world was at peril but who after victory was se- cured retired from the field “unen- cumbered by spoils, independent, un- attached and unbought.” President Coolidge’s address, his first formal uttérance, was devoted to praise of the equality which had made the Red Cross a success. Chief among these, he said, was its prac- tical idealism. ‘ An Ancient, Principle The* American Red Cross is a modern application of an ancient principle,” the President , “The idea of charity is very old. It is in- cluded in the teachings of the earli- est philosophers. It is one of the fundamental doctrines of our Bible period. It is a spiritual conception of human relationship. It is life in obedience to the things that are un- seen.’ ‘ Throughout history men have been tatecraft, Viscount Moriey attain- ry * * eal Gepaatesilats enilasncs an both} Four sons of Mr. and Mrs, Johan Hes eto Lot their trust in other spheres.
