Backs Both Projosts. Mr. Coolidge is committed to both naval expansion and to intarnational peace, outlined in-the Keliogg plan. Therefore, the coming of Secretary Wil bur with his “bigger Navy” talk raiscs the question of how Mr. Coolidge is going to reconcile these two features of his administration program. _This problem was brought to atten- tion last week in @& speech made by Sir Joynson-Hicks, British home sec- retary, when he referred to the Kellogg plan and'said that Great Britain’s ceptance of the plan should include an observation that the United States, al- though offering this plea of peace and outlawry of war, was at the same time expanding its naval strength. In this connection it is thought prob- able that President Coolidge will give some indication of his attilude toward defensive armement and world peace, when he sgenu at the patriotic exer- cises to be held at Cannon Falls, Minn., next Sunday, incident to the unveiling of a monument to Col. Willilam Colvill and the first Minnesota Volunteers, who ‘?wgu"d at Gettysburg during the Civil ar. There is reason to feel that in view of his desire to talk gt length with Sec- retary Wilbur, the President will ask him and Mrs. Wilbur to remain over- |night at the lodge. The Wilburs are on their way to the Pacific Coast, where the Secretary will witness the fleet | maneuvers, and later attend the notifi- | cation ceremonies at.Palo Alto. Mrs. Coolidge Takes Lesson.
