President Says, ‘That We Have Maintained Our Arm- aments, Not for Aggression, But Purely, for Defensive Purpose’ q Wausau, Wis, Aug. 15.—- » Within a fortnight of the date o: which the international treaty fo. outlawing war is to be signed, Pres dent Coolidge declared fore th: ‘* ‘Wisconsin State American Legio: ere today that the Kellogg pac holds a ter hope for peacefu relations tl was ever before giver to the world.” In giving his sentiments regard. {ng the forthcoming treaty the full- ‘ est expression since the inception of the t, the President maintainec 4 that by taking a leading position ir securing this agreement, the Unite: States proved its pacific inclinatior. toward all nations. “We have demonstrated,” M Coolidge declared, ¢that when v. hhave said we maintained our arm: ments, not for aggression, but purc P ly for defense, we were making : - ? candid statement which we wer willing to verify by our actions.” The President told the forme: Sk tervice mem that while “it would be y 1.too much to suppose that war has ‘been entirely banished, yet a new and important barrier, reasonable ro brett has been created to b rit A ‘We Have Demonstrated,’ i Is Revolutionary “This agreement proposes a revo- Jutionary policy among nations,” he ‘ said. “It holds a greater hope for 4 ful relations than was ever be- fore given to the world. If those who are involved in it, having started it will finish it, its provisions ‘will prove one of the greatest bless- ings upon humanity. It is a fitting consummation to the first decade of ‘As to its power to maintain peace, Mr. Coolidge asserted that if the treaty had been in force in 1914, there “is every reason to suppose ., that it would have saved the situa- * tion and delivered the world” from i the ravages of the World war. ¢ It is for the purpose of maintain- ing “the rule of law” throughout the world as well as this country, to de- Y fend ourselves and to meet “the obligation to resist evil” that the United States maintains an army and navy, the President said. The country’s citizens at home and the world at large, he declared, would hold the Government in contempt if it disregarded the science of national defense, He added: ~ fe -, National Security “Tt would be an attempt to evade bearing our share of the 2urdens of civilization. For this reason we maintain, according to our resources, our population, our position, and our a 4 responsibilities, a moderate Army and Navy based on what we believe f } to be our requirements for national security. While the speech was significant because of the time given to the dis- cussion of the Kellogg pact and its relationship to American defense re- quirements, the President also de- voted a share of his address to récit- ing the knowledge that had come from the war. “We saw,” he said, “that the indi- widual did not belong wholly to him- self, but must respond to the re- quirements of his government. “Adequate defense meant the pro- RE functioning of the entire organic fe of the Nation. The foundation of it all rests on the extermination ‘of waste and the waster, and on the elimination of slackness and the slacker. It means the coordination of national effort through an ade- quately trained citizenship, which will result in a scientific production and distribution of commodities that a will raise the standard of living * round every fireside in the land. “Another fact which shines forth with a renewed brilliance is that + many of the most precious rewards of life do not lie on the side of ma- 4 terial A gin. ‘We have had a great deal of discussion concerning the in- 4 gustice of one persén going into the i service at a very small remunera- tion, while another remained at home ql in the enjoyment of very high wages. But I wonder how many of who put on the uniform and ‘went into action overseas would now willing to exchange that experi- ence for the few dollars of extra compensation that some one else was able to earn at home di the lat- at ie H = 8 Ht Et r [ Fig i i i df i if i : i dE rt vil i i i rl A ff it ‘WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 16, 1928 ‘CAL TELLS WISCONSIN LEGION KELLOGG PACT IS WORLD'S GREATEST PEACE HOPE Dog Fight Cause of Woman Breaking Leg are responsible for| Mrs. Delzer, who was walking|home soon after his escape.
