PRESIDENT LAUDS "KELLOGE PROPOSAL Mr. Coolidge, at Gettysburg, Makes Strong Appeal for Anti-War Pact. BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG. President Coolidge was back at his desk this morning showing no il effects from his trip to Gettysburg yesterda but giving outward evidence of his aj preciation of the warm reception ac- him and Mrs. Coolidge and of enthusiastic manner in which his 1 day address was received. President’s address did not deal with patriotic generalities, but a strong appeal for the abolish- ing of war and called upon the great mgwws to join in an international Rfl t wwlgh tend to lr‘:;s.utre peace. expressed the hope 1) success would crown l.h:‘ e‘;ls:?lm‘mfbnng h:b?fli“ an agreement force e form of a multilateral treaty limiting future resort to Mr. as being all the more sig- nificant because it was the first time he has publicly advocated the multi- lateral draft to outlaw war as prepared ‘War.

Each year their number has increased, as that long blue line which stood so valiantly for the cause of the Union has grown thinner and thinner, until today it has almost vanished from earthly view. On_fame's eternal camping Their silent tents are A And glory guards with sol The bivouac of the dead. We do not come to lament, but to give thanks. With one acclaim the peo- ple bestow upon them all that divine salutation, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant.” To express our devotion we have come to the field of Gettysburg.

Though we have at this| time some of our forces in Haiti, Nica- ragua and China, they are in none,of these places for the purpose of making war, but for the purpose of insuring peaceful conditions under which the rights of our nationals and their prop- erty may receive that protection to which they are entitled under the terms of international law. Our further pur- pose in Haiti and Nicaragua is to assist the peoples and governments of those two countries in establishing stability, in maintaining orderly and peaceful in- stitutions in harmony with civilized so- clety. We are there at their express in- vitation and in accordance with ex- plicit agreements. The world-wide interests of the United States aside from the dictates of humanity make us view with peculiar disfavor not only any danger of being involved in war ourselves, but any danger of war among other nations. Our investments and trade relations are such that it is almost impossible to con- ceive of any conflict anywhere on earth which would not affect us injuriously. The one thing that we want above all else for ourselves and for other nations is a continuance of psace. Whether so intended or not, any nations engaging in war would thereby necessarily be en- gaged in a course prejudicial to us. The strength of this Nation, how- ever, is not expressed merely in terms of an Army and Navy. A yet greater power 1s derived from the happiness and contentment of the jeople. During recent years this has been our national position to a greater extent than eveAr - | experienced by any other people. reached its crest | economic_institutions | upon this hard-fought fleld. our political and These | naturally results in patriotic devotion. | The efforts made to establish a Gov-| | ernment free from tyranny, in which |the fullest freedom consistent with | order and justice would be granted, and | where opportunity would be open and | Industry attended with the largest re-| year.

Our jon the subject of national defense. | wards, all have an important bearing | b¢ great conflict is not likely to arise so much from design as from accident. It is realized that war can not be profitable. The trend of civilization is undoubtedly toward peace. ‘The reason for this Is not far to seek. War means the application of force. Peace means the application of reason. War 1s complets Jawlessness, Peace is the rule of law. The principal effort of civilization, after all, is to bring the world under obedience to law. The great conflict which raged upon this hattlefleld had for its ultimate decision the question of whether the power of the sword or the power of the Constitu- fion was to be supreme. Under repub- liean institutions an industrious and law-ablding people will make a psaceful nation, while a lawless and riotous people will make a warlike nation. Like many other of our problems, the solu- tion runs back to the individanl and the home. If around the Nation's fire- side respect for authority, reverence for holy things and obedience to parental discipline are taught, the surest founda- tion for peace will be lald. Where these home influences are lacking the daneer of conflict increases. While the people of the United States as a whole are peaceful and law-abiding to a remarkable d-gree, it can not be denied that we have had sporadic out- breaks of crime, especfally those of violenre, which are exceedingly disturb- ing. Such a condition will indicate, if continued, a loosening of the moral fiber of the Nation. It is very easy to cast the blame upon the police au- thorities, the prosecuting officers and the courts. But if a eriminal condition continnes to prevail, the blame goes be- yond these officlals. We live under a system of popular government. Our officers reflect to a very large degree public opinion. Urges Vigilance Against Crime. If the people themselves show that they are determined to have ecrime stamped out, there will be no lack of vigilance on the part of the police. no lack of energetic action on the part of prosecuting attorneys, and no lack of | adequate p-naity on the part of the courts. If the people are careless and indifferent, if they look with com- placency on crime and assume a senti- | mental attitude toward criminals, little | reform can be hoped for. If. on the | other hand, the pcople remember that | good government only can be secured by the exercise of eternal vigilance, that it 1s necessary constantly to resist | evil tendencies, if they will take such | action as is necessary to give adequate | expression to their determination to | ten;umu lawlessness and crime, it can one. | For the purpose of promoting a reizn‘ of law in the world there is a special when they are abroad. Our people lre' granted free access on the same basis as others into all the countries of the world. As a general policy they go with the encouragement of our Govern- ment to engage in all kinds of enter- prise But when once they have set foot in forelgn land, it is their duty to render obedience ty the domestic and international law which is applica- ble to their proposed actions. Our Government necessarily Las rights over its citizens and their property in what- ever country they may be. While we do not and cannot undertake to inter- fere in the application of domestic law to our nationals, unless it contravenes the rights of our Government and peo- ple under international law, neverthe- less the carelessness of some of our citi- zens abroad in violating domestic law and in assuming an arrogant attitude toward the local inhabitants tends to bring our country into disrepute and endangers the continuance of friendly relations. A Government of the United States that failed in its duty to protect the lives and property of its citizens would be justly condemned at home and cov- ered with derision abrozd. But our citi- zens ought to remember that it is their duty so to conduct themselves in their relations with foreign interests thai they are worthy of whatever protec- tion they may need from their home government. Obedience to international law, how- ever, is a reciprocal duty. It Is neces- sary not only that we scrupulously ob- serve it ourselves, but that it be known that we shall require such observance from others. When we make agree- ments with other nations we must see that they are performed. If they are ever to be abrogated, it must be only in accordance with their terms. For us (o insist at all times and places on the ob- servance of international law to sirengthen the main foundation of peace. By our influence and by our ex- ample we can do much to discourage ail acts of international lawlessness. Peace a Spiritual Attainment. After all, peace is a spiritual attaine ment. We can set up material safe- guards, like fortifications and arma- ments, which will afford us much pro- tection against attack, but unless we cultivate and cherish sentiments of | friendship and understanding they are no guaranty of peace. One method of arriving at a better state of understand- ing, so that friendship may be preserved, is to provide before the event for meth- ods of negotiating and adjudicating matters in dispute. In furtherance of the plan of this government to settle international controversies by pacific means and thereby lessen the causes of war the United States is now negotiat- ing new arbitration treaties and addi- course to, war and renouncing it as an | instrumest of national policy in their | mutual relations. During the 11 months | that haveé since elapsed this suggestion | has been developed into one of the most | impressive peace movements that the | world has ever seen. The United States | nhas accepted the principle underlying M. Briand's suggestion and has advo- | cated its extension so as to include | within the scope of the proposed treaty | not only Prance and the United States, | but also Great Britain, Germany. Italy | and Japan, and any other nations of the world that might eare to join with these six powers in a common renuncia- | tion of war. | In order to facilitate discussion and to demonstrate that a treaty such as| that desired by the United States could | be short, simple and straightforward, Mr. Kellogg, Secretary of State, sub- mitted on April 13, 1928, for the con- | sideration of the other interested pow- | ers, a preliminary draft of a treaty rep- | resenting in a general way the form ot treaty which he suggested we were pre- pared to conclude. This draft treaty has met with very favorable reception. | Not only has the idea of a multilateral | treaty for the renunciation of war been | indorsed by public opinfon here and | abroad, but the governments themselves | have approached the matter with an interest and a sympathy which is most | encouraging. | Day Consecrated to Soldier Dead. | We have gathered to pay tribute to | our soldier dead. This day is consecrat- } ed to their memory. It seems to me that | the greatest honor that we can do to | those who have dled on the field of bat- | tle that this Republic might live is| soberly to pledge ourselves to bend our | every effort to prevent any recurrence of war. The Government of the peo- | ple, by the people, for the people, which | Lincoln described in his immortal ad- | dress, is a government of peace, not of | war, and our dead will not have died in | vain if, inspired by their sacrifice, we endeavor by every means within our| power to prevent the shedding of human blood in the attempted settlement of | international controversies. It is my | earnest hope that success may crown the negotiations now in progress, and ! that the ideals which have inspired the Prench minister of foreign affairs and | the Secretary of State of the United | States in their joint efforts to find a so- | lution of the problem of peace may find | a practical realization in the early mak- | ing of a multilateral treaty limiting future resort to war. 1 VICTIM OF AUTO FIRE | DIES OF INJURIES| Du"om’a !
