Veteran employes of the House say that a record has easily been es- blished, though none yet know the 4ot number of measures thus far in- troduced. By far the greatest number on any one subject were directed at better enforcement of the Volstead act, or at its abolition or to liberalize prohibition enforcement.

Republi- the President Urges Needed Legislation To Insure the Nation’s Progress ‘ontinued from First Page.) tences. He calls attention in his opening sentences to the great pros- | perity of the people and the country. and in his conclusion warns that this prosperity “will continue oniy so long as we shall use it properly."” President Coolidge’s discussion of the World Court and the proposed dhesion of the United States to that tribunal is caleulated to allay fears that this country is bartering away iny of its independence by taking ch action. He declares that the “Court appears to be independent of the League.” He. says that ‘‘the Court derives all its authority from the statute and is so completeiy inde- pendent of the League that it could o on functioning if the League were sanded.” The authority of the Court to give advisory opinions to the League of Nations the President does not consider dangerous to the inde- | pendence of the Court. *No provision jof the statute.” he continues, “‘seems { to me to give this Court any authority to be a political rather than a judiclal col The reservations proposed the President cover the following ground: That by supporting the Court the United States assumes no obligations under the league: that the United States may participate upon an equal- ity with other states in the election Lof Judges: that Congress shall de- termine what part of the expenses the United States shall bear: that the | statute creating the Court shall not be amended without the consent of the “nited States. and that the United States is not to be bound by advisory »pinions rendered without its consent. The first four reservations were orig- inally proposed and President Cool- idge has added the last. “We are not proposing to subject ourselves to any compulsory jurisdic- ition.” The President continues, “If we support the Court, we can never be oblized to submit any case which involves our interests for its decision. Our appearance before it would always | be voluntary. for the purpose of pre- senting a case which we have agreed might be presented.” Might Disregard Finding. The President insists there is no cases before the court involving our interests which the United States did not wish to have brought, after this country had adhered to the Court, than if this country had not adhered. [ The United States would have the same legal and moral right to disre- gard such a finding in any case brought before the Court against its wishes, The position of those who demand a | World Court fashioned after the ideas {of the United States alone is assailed by the President. “If we are going to support any court. it will not he one htat we have set up alone or which reflects only our ideals,” he says._ “Other nations have their customs and their institutions, their thoughts and their methods of life. national, its composition will have to vield to what is good in all these vari- ous elements. Neither will it be pos- sible to support a court which is ex- actly perfect, or under which we assume absolutely no obligations. It we are seeking that opportunity, we might as well declare that we are op- posed to supporting any court. “I¢ is difficult to imagine anything that would be more helpful to the world than stability, tranquility and ional justice.” the President He argues that the United ates should join voluntarily in this court designed to foster these things. He points out that, nothwithstanding all our independence, the = Wnited States finally was forced into the World War® and military alliances during that war. More at Stake Than Others. “We have more at stake than any other one else in avoiding a repeti- tion of that calamity,” he continues. “Wars do not spring -into existence. They arise from small incldents and trifling irritations which can be ad- Jjusted by an international court. We can contribute greatly to the ad- vancement of our ideals by joining with other nations In maintaining such a_tribunal.” The President strikes a body blow at those who propose the payment more danger that others might bring | If a court is going to be inter- | | of the public debt shall be spread over a period of 62 vears—to con- form to the period allowed our foreign debtors to pay their delts to the United points_out th Saris is paid at the 3 the cost to the tax- payers is the principal and. if the | interest is 41, per cent, a total of |$1.850,000,000.

The sums which the people would be called upon to pay in interest, through taxation, on such a debt over a period of 62 years, stag- zer the fmmagination. The President recognizes in his message that deflation of the Govern- ment since the war has nearly been complished and that the present ‘ederal expenses are not far out of line with pre-war expensi his does not mean that further economies will not come.” he says, and adds that our economy must be constructive and intelligently applied. . “is the method oda; improvements of tomorrow Praises Dawes Plan. The part the United States has played in recent months in bettering conditions throughout the world is described by the President in his dis cussion of forelgn relations. The benefits of the Dawes plan, which malz possible the negotiation of the ! | Locarno security and arbitration treaties. have been reat. While the | United States is deeply interested in | any movement that may properly be made for a_decreasc In land arma- ments, the President makes it clear that, with a standing army of only 118,000 and a population of 115,000,- 000, there would be nothing in the way of further land disarmament which the Unit:d States could offer a conference on land armaments The questton of disarining upon land, | he says, Is pecultarly European, and | he looks to Europe to take the lead m any plan for land disarmament: “It’ seems clear,” the President. | ays, “that it is the reduction of land rmies rather than of navies that is of first importance to the world at the presert time. We shall look with great satisfaction upon that effort and zive it our approbation and encourage- ment. n his recommendations regardin aviation and the air services the President sticks closely to the report of his Alrcraft Board, recently made public. The report of this board, he says, ought to be reassuring to the country. He emphasizes the great importance of aviation for national defense and for commercial develop- ment. The President sees the position ot agriculture as a whole very much im- proved since the depression of three or four years ago. Sees New Era. Following every other depression,” he says, “after a short period the price of farm produce has taken and maintained the lead in the advance. This advance had reached a climax before the war. Every one will recall the discussion that went on for four or five vears prior to 1914 concerning the high cost of lving. This history ap- parently is beginning to repeat itself. ‘While the wholesale prices of other commodities have been declining, farm prices have been increasing. There is every reason to suppose that a new era In agricultural prosperity lies just before us, which will probably be un- precedented.” _ The Government will continue to aid the farmers, the President declares, but his investigations have led him to believe that the farmers wish to main- tain the independence of their business | and do not wish to have the Govern- ment meddling in it or be placed un- der restrictions which are inevitable in a direct or indirect system of price fixing. The President in his proposal for a mothers’ aid law for the District of Columbia calls attention to the fact that although more than 40 States have “enacted measures in a&id of motherhood, the District of Columbia is still without such a law. v for the { | | {the seats on the floor | s tto !erans, whe HINES SAYS BUREAU NEEDS S51465.00 Veterans’ Body Activities Es- timated in Report of Director. necessary for dusted service certificate fund and for hospital con an ap propriation of $314.965,000 is estimated in the annual report made public to day of Director Hines us necessary ' all Veterans' Bureau activities during the fis 2 This figure reduction in the fation for the current fiscal y provided a pro portionately smaller amount is asked administration of the udjusted vice act, as was the case this vear, when $50,000,000, compared with $100,- 000,000 last tiscal s allotted for that pu tions, including that for th service fund, total $405.713,5 K In an introddction to his report.

Health in Nicaragua. A recent public health law in Nica- ragua provides for establishing a na- tional department of health with a division of school hygiene. The divi- Sion will inspect children in public and private schools, conduct the med- jcal and dental clinics which will be established for school children, ar- range courses on school and personal hyglene, inspect school buildings and pass on plans for new buildings. study measures against infant mortality and teach hygiene to the general public. teach hyglene 10 L B A carefully considered bill will be presented, which ought to have most thoughtful conslderation in order that Congress may adopt a measure that will be hereafter a model for all parts of the Union With reference to the coal situation the President speaks with some bitter. ness, saying: At present the National vernment has little or no authority to deal with this vital necessity of the life of the country. It has permitted itself to remain so powerless that its only attitude must be humble suppli cation.” Reasserting the vital need of main- taining a merchant marine, the Presi- dent declares that “all the investiga- tions which have been made under my direction, and those which have been made independently, have reached the conclusion that the fleet should be under the direct control of a single executive head, while the Shipping Board should exercise its functions in accordance with its original concep- tion. “I do not advocate the elimination of regional considerations, but it has become apparent that without cen- tralized executive action the manage- ment of this great business, like the management of any other great busi- ness, will flounder in incapacity and ianguish under a division of council.” The President's toncluding para- graph is typical of his conceptions of Government and the Divine author- i In it he say: ‘The Government of the United States has been created by the people. It is solely responsible to them. It will be most successful if it is conducted solely for their benefit. All its efforts would be of little avail unless they brought more justice, more enlightenment, more happiness and more prosperity into the home. This means an opportunity to ob- serve religion, secure education and earn a living under a reign of law and order. It is the growth of the material and spiritual life of the Na- tion. We shall not be able to gain these ends merely by our own action. If they come at all it will be because we have been willing to work in harmony with the abiding purpose of a-Divine Pm‘ldmce." 4 with | ICONGRESS OF 100 YEARS AGO REJECTED PEACE ALLIANCE President Then Urged Pact With South American Nations—Idea Bore Fruit in Bureau of Ameri- can Republics 64 Years Later. | ) | July, pcia- t. in { ma eems. w ico i i x Hit by Engine.
