Time of War —Declares For Adequate Military, Naval and Avia- tion Preparedness Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 11—@)— President Coolidge ved formal no- tice here today that the Wnited States would adhere to the World Court only on the conditions Inid down by the senate, The position of the chief executive, who from the first of his administ: tion had urged American membership in the court, was made clear in an Armistice Day speech in which he iscussed world problems and called y for the first time for con- n of capital as well as man power in time of T jedication of the by the people of this city in memory of its citizens who served in the World War. Delivered at the hour when eight years ago the Armistice went into effect, it was devoted to a dis- n of problemg arising out ar with a restating of the posi- tion of the Washington government on many questions of world interest while mention was made of national antagonisms against this country. “A Permanent Court of Internat al Justice has been established president said in setting forth sition on the World Court, “to which nations may voluntarily resort for an differences. It ct to much misrepre- sentation, which has resulted in much misconception of its principles and 8 among our people. have advocated adherence to such a court by this nation on condition that the ‘statute or treaty creating it be amend- The senate that ed to meet our views. has adopted a resolution for purpose. Will Not Ask Modification “While the nations involved can not yet be said to have mado a final de- termination, and from most of them no answer has been received, many of them have indicated that they are un- willing to concur in the conditions adopted by the resolution of the sen- ate, While no final decision made by our government until final answers are received, the situation has been sufficiently developed so that I feel warranted in saying that T do not intend to ask the senate to modify its position. I do not believe th€’sefhate would take favorable action on any such proposal, and unless the requirements of the senate resolu- tion are met by the other interested nations I can see no prospect of this country adhering to the court.” In. speaking of conscription, Mr. Coolidge said that it “is more and more becoming the conviction of stu- dents of adequate defense that in time of national peril the government should be clothed with authority to call into its service all of its man power and all of its property under and conditions that it may completely avoid making a sacrifice of one and a profiteer of another.” “To expose some men to the perils of the battle field while others are left to reap large gains from the distress of their country is not in harmony with our ideal of equality,” he said. “Any future policy of con- scription should be all inclusive, ap- plicable in its terms to the entire | personnel and the entire wealth of the whole nation.” War Not Yet Ended After asserting that the Armistice of 1918 “did not mark the end of the war, for the end is not yet,” Mr. Coolidge declared for adequate mi tary, naval and aviation preparedness while he emphasized that the United States does not seck to be a military Power and “ch: no imperialistic designs.” At the same time, he reit- erated the desire of the Washington government for a lessening of com- petitive armaments. f “We have at last entered into trea- ties with the great powers,” he said, ‘eliminating to a large degree com- (Continued on page seven.)

The borer is capable of destroying the entire corn crop, as it has done completely in some parts of Canada, the speaker said, pointing out’ that the best method ‘of prevention is to ,thoroughly burn or chop up every piece of corn stalk that contains this pest.
