An attack by a lifelong labor man upon the indorsement of the La Fol- lette ticket by leaders of the Federa- tion of Labor was the feature of last evening’s meeting of the McDonald- Washington - Blackburn _Democratic Club, when John J. Keegan, member of the United States Employes’ Com- pensation Commission, upheld the labor record of John W. Davis and read a letter that he sent to Samuel Gompers protesting against the de- sertion of Davis, which, he declared, was still unanswered. “Four years ago.’ Indorsed the Democra and the party record. If what they 8aid then was true, it must be true today, for the Democratic party has not had an opportunity to make any record since then.” 1In the course of his letter to Gompers he said: After about 30 years of friend- ship for you personally, and admira- tion for your great services, not only to the workers of our country, but to tion a whole, the writer, ke many others, will find it hard to disagree with you in the position you and the American Federation of Labor have taken in this campaign. Under the circumstances you will undoubted- 1y pardon the solicitation of a friend if he asks that you more clearly fine the reason for the action of American the recommendations of its political action committee, accepted and adopt- ed by the executive council he sald, “labor candidates as the Action Held Puzzling. “It is very hard to understand the motive underlying the action of the executive council in recommending to the workers of the country for their support and vote a candidate for whom the majority of the council in- dividually did not intend to vote on election day “In your reply to a letter from Wil- liam B. Wilson. you set out positively and directly a contradiction of M. Wilson'’s statement that Mr. Davis bad played any part whatever in the fight for the Clayton anti-injunction Dill. “I have before me a Congressional Record containing an address of Con- gressman John W. Davis, Wwhich evoked considerable discussion in the House, and one recognizes a of the most forcible arguments ever made in favor of the Clayton act “Again Mr. Wilson sets out that John W. Davis had volunteered his services to defend the miners in Judge Jackson's court. 1 think you will agree with me that there were few attorneys available at any price to the trade unionists for the purpose of pleading their cause in that court. Questions Attitude. “I recall that at the Democratic convention the political action com- mittee of the Amercan Federation waited upon Mr. Davis to express their wish and desire that George L. Berry of the Pressmen’s Union should be selected as his running mate. Tt would be interesting to know if the record which makes Mr. Davis an un- acceptable candidate for labor was made previous to the Democratic convention or since, for surely the political action committee did not in- tend to put Mr. Berry on the ticket and erucify him with an unacceptable candidate for the presidency. “In Congress Mr. Davis was 100 per cent right with labor, never having voted against any labor measure in which the federation was interested or advocating.” Other sprakers at the meeting were Mrs. Frank W. Hunt, widow of a Democratic governor of Idaho, who declared that the succes leader would be the statesman the freight rate question furmers. and Mrs. Frank Hiram Snell, who advocated wider recognition of women on the Democratic committees of the District. The musical program consisted of songs by Miss Dorothy Reddish and piano solos by Gertrude Smallwood. POLICE DRIVER’S SON HURT IN COLLISION Cut About Face by Broken Glass.

To them especially 1 extend greetings and appreciations for the approval which their presence signifies. “That rule of ethical guidance which we have come to designate as the Golden Rule is common to all the Breat ystems of religion and to the entire philosophy of human rela- tionship. As St. Matthew writes it down, we read: ‘Therefore, all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them.' It is a rule worthy of all acceptance and to be translated into the terms of relationships among communities and peoples, among races and na- tlons. Those among us Who are re- quired to give consideration to the difficult and complicated relations between the great communities of the world: those whose concern is for the maintenance of peace, of mu- tual helpfulness and generous co- operation among the nations, will do weil to keep always in the front ot our thoughts this simple precept. The philosophers have examined it and found it good. The writers whose hands held the pen of in- spiration have enjoined it upon us. “With the passing generations it comes more and more Into accept- ance as the soundese guide to hu- man conduct. So, on an occasion such as this, designed to impress this concept of right relations among men and states, it is most reassur- ing to see gathered together so many who are accredited spokesmen of na- tional concerns, and 80 many others who from their private stations in life have sought by their works of charity to give meaning. foree and illumination to this noble concep- tion. I know you will all join me in the hope that what shall be said here and at many other gatherings which will have like inspiration and purpose will be acoepted as signifi- cant of earnest hope and determined intent to further in every possible way the neighborly kindiiness. the reciprocal helpfulness and the real brotherhood of all humanity. Anniverxary of War. “We have just come to the end of a decade of the most momentous events in the modern world. The tenth anniversary of the beginning of {the World War has been made occa- sion for many surveys of this ex- traordinary period. I need not recall the long period of unprecedented hor- rors that was the war. We all have our own pictures of that experience. We know the suffering it wrought and the complexity of problems it en- tailed. You who are here require no reminders of the fact that restored peace involved tasks of reorganiza- tion and restoration and rehabilita- tion and readjustments that in many ways were more difficult because they were §0 much more complex than those of the war itself. As the years shall pass over us, we and our suc- cessors will come to view it as a tre- mendous episode, though occupying comparatively but a brief period, as historic developments are measured. But we will see it also as a concen- tration of huge forces which, being |released in its explosion, set in motion a train of consequences whose ulti- mate significance will require many generations for full unfolding and de- velopment. “But even now we are able to per- ceive the evidence that not all of these ultimate consequences are going to be bad. We are able already to realize that a great boon has been conferred on humanity in the weeding out of irresponsible autocratic government. Peoples will be slow to adjust them- selves fully to the new conditions. Even those who have longest experi- ence with the republican institutions of Government will require a long time settling themselves into their permanent places in a world com- munity whose dominant ideal of gov- ernment and of human relationship rests on the rule of the people. But we are able already to see clearly that the world is moving toward & consummation of its aspiration for the blessings of assured peace and under a regime of free institutions. “It is moving in the right direction, and it is doing #o because to a greater extent than ever before, it has given itself over to the ethical guldance of that broad principle that has been written into our Golden Rule: In many of our relationships it is as yet little more than an ideal; but it Is constantly approaching nearer and nearer to universal acceptance as an ideal and a guide. It is the best basia on which the individual may build for good citizenship, the State for perma- nence and safe progress, the world for universal peace and widely dif- fused well being. Seek te Help All merica is profoundly concerned In behalf of whatever promises to make the world a better neighbor- hood, and its peoples better neigh- bors. We have no better wish than to be good and helpful neighbors with all. Though we may have seemed aloof from the scenes of con- flict, our people insisted on bearing their share in the world struggle. Later, when for a time chaos threatened in many parts and there was & loosening of bonds that seemed to menace the very basis of society, our people were ready with assist- ance for the unfortunate and suffer- ing, wherever they were. 1 have seen the detailed tabulations which showed. item by item, a total of more than seventeen billion dollars of American wealth poured out in aid of our associates in the war, and of suffering peoples wherever they were to be found, since the war. “Aside from ten billion dollars of loans by our Government to foreign treasuries, the total represented operations in private financing to the extent of probably three billions of dollars; three hundred millions of dollars furnished to the Red Cross; governmental and private contribu- | tions to the American relief admini- stration, aggregating around two hundred million dollars; the Near Fast Relief work, to which more than elghty-two million dollars was devoted, and other items represented by the work of the Jewish Distri- bution Committes, the Young Men's Christian Association, the Commis. sion for the Rellef of Belgium, the Furopean Relief Council, the Knights of Columbus, the American Friends' Service Committee, the Chinese | Famine Fund, the Young Women's Christian Association, the American Catholic Bishops' Relief Fund for Central Europe, the Papal Relef Mission in Russia. These and a long list of other societies and associa- tions, together with a myriad of per- | sonal charities and donations, the whole making up a total which to- day would undoubtedly exceed eigh- teen billions of dollars, covering & period of eight years. No appeal {has gone unheeded by our Deoble. whether in behalf of those who had been our friends or our enemies in time of confliot. “YWhether the demand was that we buy Government securities to assist in rehabilitating economic and mone- tary structures; or that we furnish food to the victims of famine, or supplies and attention to those suf- fering from disease and pestilence; where we were called upon for help TEXT OF PRESIDENT’S SPEECH | BEFORE GOLDEN RULE DINNER Nation’s Foreign Policy Described as One of Hearty Co-operation, But Brooking No Interference in Domestic Questions. to the peopie of Austria that they might re-establish & sound system of currency, or to those of Japan when the earthquake brought its unprece- dented disaster a year ago; from whatever quarter or for whatever purpose of assistance to suffering and need. the generosity of the American public seemed always equal to de- mands. I remember that immediately following the Japanmese earthquake 1 appealed on September 2 of last vear for $5,000,000 to be contributed and placed at the disposal of the Red Cross for immediate relief. Five days later $8,000,000 had been re- ceived, and still contributions poured in until a total of $11,631,000 had been raised. - It is pleasing to know in this connection that $3,000,000 of this fund 1s being devoted to con- truct the Memorial Fraternal Hos- pital in TOkyo as a perpetual monu- ment to this demonstration of the sentiments subsisting between these two great nations. Recalls War Help. “This will be a not inappropriate occasion for a brief review by way of recalling the conditions in which the world's resources of benevolence were summoned after the war to help the stricken countries. “The picture of Europe at the arm- istice of 1918 was a picture of most desperate famine. Production had been destroyed, supplies had been exhausted, agriculture was deterior- ated. and food animals had disap- pearcd over vast areas. No single country, even our allies, could sur- vive without help over the terrible Winter of 1919. Credit was exhaust- ed by which supp could be pur- chased from other parts of the world, and industry could not be re-estab. lished to a point where commodities could be offered in exchange for food: “This situation applied not alone to ravaged areas in Belgium and east- ern Europe, but equally to all the allied countries and to every section of Kurope except a few minor neu- tral states. It embraced a total popu- lation of nearly 400,000,000 people. Furthermore, large sections of Europe were in a state of famine panic. Farmers were hoarding their food. Villages were hoarding against towns, towns were hoarding against cities, and states were hoarding against | each other. A debacle threatened | Burope even more disastrous than | that which followed the thirty vears' war, when one-third of the population perished. Sought to Intervene. “In this situation America under- took a second intervention in Europe. The second intervention implied find- ing food and other necessities of life, and transport for them on a scale hitherto undreamed of in the world's history. “We might have taken the attitude that we had completed our obligation to Europe the day the Armistice was signed. But the object of America in the war was greater than military victory. It was the maintenance of human institutions. re-establishment of orderly governments and preserva- tion of civilization itself in Europe. “Without hesitation our people undertook this second enormous bur- den. Without it Bolshevfsm would have spread over a large proportion of Europe. Civilization, which _has been set back a generation in Rus- sia, would have had the same set- | back over a half score of other coun | tries. Peace would have been im- possible. Huge Sums Usedl. “The actual volume of American ef- fort is not to be measured in dollars contributed in charity. The official organizaiton set up under the direc- tion of Mr. Hoover undertook the as well as enemy, without regard to previous relationships. The sole thought was that a gigantic emer- gency had arisen in the history of humanity. It had to be met in the only way possible: By finding sup- plies and ships; by appeal for credit or charity, as the case might be, to pay for them. Where there were re- serves of gold or securities in any state, its people were called upca to their resources. The first requirement was that their own resources be used to the limit in their own support. Under these arrangements approxi- mately $500,000,000 in supplics were furnsihed by America, and furnished in advance of payment. To those whose resources were exhausted we advanoed credits from the Treasury in one fashion or another. In this way upward of $2,000,000,000 in sup- plies were furnished. For the large numbers who could not be cared for in these ways charity was provided. In addition to all this, support was given by the American Red Cross in medical aid in fighting epidemics to the extent of probably another $25,- 000,000. Other charitable bodies sup- plied upward of $10,000,000 during this terrible period. “As I have said, there was no dis- crimination between friends or ene- mies in this crusade to save Kurope. America gave her credit and oharity without knowledge whether there would be any return. If the battle against famine had failed and Europe oollapsed, the credits would have been valueless. Cpatinued After War. “Of the countries which benefited by this tremendous effort of America, England, Franoce, Italy, Belgium, Ger- many, Poland, Esthonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Finland, Ruseia, Czecho- slovakia, Serbia, Austria, Hungary, Rumania, Armenia—each and every one recefved such support as was nec- essary. Ten millions of tons of food and supplies were shipped and dis- tributed. The triumph of it was that there was scarcely the 10ss of a sin- gle life from starvation.

Congress made an appropriation of $24,000,000. This was supplemented in one way and another through the American Relief Association to a total of over $70,000,000. Twelve million peo- ple were kept alive over the critical period who would otherwise have died. We disapprove of the Russian govern- ment, but America has held humanity higher than her international views. “Nor does this comprise the whole of America’s effort to overcome the famine. The Belgian Relief Commis- slon, whose direction was American and whose support was international, though in large part from the United States, expended over $950,000,000 in saving the 7,500,000 Belgian and 2,500,- 000 French people in the occupation zone from starving through a period of four years of war. Wants to Help Europe. “I do not recount these things in a spirit of vainglory. It was the good fortune of America to be able to help in such a time. The story would not be fairly told if I omitted to add that already many of the nations that re- ceived help in this crisis have begun to repay the credits advanced by our Government. Others have indicated thelr intention to repay as fast as their economic strength permits. There has been a fine demonstration of good faith, a full realization of vbligations. “The hope and aim of America is to help Europe to help itself. urope does not want our benevolence. 1t does want our help, and we are 1 ¢ to give it. The case of Austria is a good example. When the opportunity came for a hope- ful effort to restore Austria’s money system and give her economic ma- chinery a chance, the United States watved the priority of large claims it held against Austria, so that security could be found for a loan that was s0ld both here and In Europe. Thus it was possible to raise some 650,000,000 gold crowns wherewith to establish a <ound money system in Austria. From that day the country has been an ex- ample of the good results attainable through hearty co-operation. It has be- come an outpost of confidence and re- assurance in middle Europe. “For Germany the problem was in kind very similar, but enormously big- ger. The wreck of the mon: and collapse of credit was so complete that disaster seemed well nigh irrep- arable. Everywhere it was felt that without effective American participation in counsel and in filnancing a new order the destruction of Germany must ensue. Praises Dawes Plan. | “There were many who assumed in !this juncture that America would stand aloof and allow the inevitable {to happen. Instead, America respond- jed by sending counselors who took the lead in framing and sponsoring the plan of rehabilitation. ~ The Dawes plan was brought forth and greeted everywhere as marking a new |y for Germany and & new epoch in he struggle to restore Central E {rope.

The proceeds of this sale are to support the restored gold standard money of Germany. It means the in- fusion of new blood into the economic circulation of the country. It marks 2 momentous step in international moderation and co-operation. It means that at last Europe has found the way out of its morass, and has been provided the strength to pur- sue it. |, “In our country are many exceed- ingly modest souls.

Our Government has extended to other gov- ernments loans and credits, which they are beginning to repay. I believe there is & moral obligation to make such re- payments, and for that reason I am op- posed to the cancellation of interna- tional indebtedness. Our private citizens have loaned money abroad both to gov- ernments and to private enterprises. We have heiped to refinance Austria, Ger- many, France, Belgium and other coun- tries. While such loans in general are believed to be in harmony with sound business principies and good morals, and have the general approbation of our Government, yet they are made without the assumption of any obligation what- ever by our Government in relation to such loans. American investors receive no assur- ances that their loans or agreements will be supported by American arms. It 18 not, and hae not been, the policy of this Government to collect debts by force of arms. It is gratifying that American capital has been able to facili- tate the carrying into effect of the Dawes plan with its promiee of eco- nomic recuperation abroad from which we as well as the peoples abroad will benefit. But loans are made without commitments on the part of this Gov- ernment. Ready to De Share. “It_is through such practical, worka- day procedures that our country has sought to be helpful in a world filled with troubles.! It may be admitted that our people have given little confidence to fine professions and pious phrases. They have placed small faith in plans to insure peace by the threat of using force. They want e, and will do their full part to assufe peace. But they will sac- rifice no part of their absolute control over their own destinies. They will as- sent to no international trusteeship to shape their future relations to the rest of the world. “America is ready today, as always, to do its full share. It wants the peace of good will and of the Golden Rule: not the peace of force imposed by those who have power. It does not want peace @8 an interlude of brightness here and there in & world still addicted to war.

The meal. too, was interesting and unusual. It consisted of macaroni, rice, black bread, cocoa with condensed milk and grapes and bananas. The last two articles were an added luxury. The embroideries and olivewood candlesticks which served as the principal table decorations, were made in the orphanages at Sidon. The dinner was arranged by a spe- clal committee. To add to the nov- elty, half a hundred young women waited upon the diners. The purpose of the dinner, as it was explained by John H. Finley of New York, chairman of the advisory committee of the national Golden Rule committee, who presided as toastmaster, was to inaugurate plans for the observance throughout the United States of Golden Rule Bunday December 7 on behalf of the/orphans and refugees of the Near East. It was explained also that similar dinners were belng held simuitaneously in Portland, Me.; St. Louls and 20 other cities in various parts of the country. Speech In Broadcast. President Coolidge’s address, which was so enthusiadtically received, was by no means confined to the Willard audience. Arrangements were made to broadcast it by radio and in this way the thousands ot men and women participating in the dinners in the other parts of the country were able to hear his remarks. There were many men and women prominent in national and local af- fairs present. More than tionalities and 45 religious denomi- nations were represented M. Jules Jusserand, Ambassador from France, who shortly will retire after many vears of servioe here, declared in an address that it is his wish that the Golden Rule be so practiced that the time will come when it will be observed universally, and that the peoples of the entire world will help those with whom circumstances have been unfavorable, not alone that they may be less mis- erable, but that they may be happy.

Bishop Freeman offered a prayer and Father Ryan of Catholic University pronounced the benediction. Motion pictures showing some of the thousands of orphans being cared for by the Near Kast Relief were thrown upon a screen. One of the Interesting features of the evening was the singing of “America” by Zadi Gannaway, a five-year-old Armenian girl, who was found four years ago in Marash, Galicia, In a starving con- dition by Near East Relief workers.
