Saying that many of the most pre cious rewards of life do not lie on the &ide of material gain, the President de- ¢lared. “We have had a great deal of discussion concerning the injustice of one person going into the service at a very small remuneration while another temained at home in the employment of very high wages. But I wonder how many of you who put on the uniform and went into action overseas w now be willing to exchange that ex- perience for the few dollars of extra compensation that some one else was able to earn at home during the latter months of the war?"” In his opinion, one of the most grati- fying of all revelations was that the strength of character of American ecitizenship was universal: that it was sll-embracing and not limited to anv Iocality, class, nationality or creed. ‘This fact cannot be contemplated, he pointed out. without increasing our re- spect for the people of this Nation and without renewing our faith in American institutions According to him, the war was an- demonstration that “we are all Americans.” Very shortly after concluding his ad- dress the President and the members of his party left for the special train waiting at the station to take them back to the Summer Capital. According 10 the schedule the President will be back at Cedar Island Lodge not much later than 8 o'clock tonight With him on this trip besides Mrs. Coolidge and John are Col.

As with many of our most important services, many of our greatest compen- sations cannot be measured in dollars that we ratified & treaty for the limita- tion of naval armaments made in 1921 earnestly sought for a further exter sion of this principle in 1927, and have secured the consent of 14 important nations to the negotiation of a treaty condemning recourse fo war, renounc- g it as an instrament of national poliey, and pledging each other to seek no solution of their disagreements ex- cept by pacific means.

This has brought about among the nations of the world a new sympathy for each other and a new forbearance toward each other which did not before exist. It has eliminated a great de of selfishness and produced a desire for | mutual helpfulness. even at the cost of considerable sacrifice. In their foreign | relations all over the world a very dis- { tinct manifestation can be seen in the | attitude of the great powers of whole- {some restraint and an effort to con- clude by patient negotiation what but & short time ago would have been de- | termined with an iron hand Another result which the United States very much hoped to see secured s @ broader application to the peoples of the different nations of the principle of self-government. On the whole the movement may be said to be strongly | in’that direction, Arbitrary rule applied under a system of hereditary monarchy has almost disappeared. While it was | not possibie for all people at once suc- | cessfully to make the transition into a republican form .of government, yet I | believe that even among those nations | which have appeared to be finding that | experience very difficult they are lay-| | ing the preliminary foundations, and are so strongly imbued with the spirit of nationality under freedom that uiti- mately they will be successful in ac- | complishing the desired ends. As the nations of the earth have come to see each othter in a new relation- ship, so there has been revealed to the people of our own country the existence of a relationship which they did not before fully comprehend. During the war we heard much about man power We found that it was a matter not only of quantity, but of quality. The drait demonstrated to us our strength, bu also our weakness. We found a very disquieting lack of education which reached into every State in the Union | Too many of our newer citizens did not understand the English language. The: disadvantages were in some ways com pensated by the wonderful spirit of | loyalty and devotion that was manifest in the heart of the whole Nation. We | learned not only the importance which ‘ we are to each other, but the necessity | for individual development. i We found that we needed not only a | large number of people, but a large | { number of trained and educated people | capable of putting forth & common ef- | [ fort through being able to arrive at | a common understanding. We came to a new sense of our dependence on the | individual and a new realization of the | obligation of society to him and his | worth to society. This has immeasur- | ably raised both the economic and | | spiritual standards of our country. A | citizen of the United States holds a new | position, higher than that which was | ever held in any past time.

We came to sce that each citizen might be called upon | by the Government in time of need for lis life and his property. ‘Those who went into the armed service offered their lives, and those who contributed to the wartime charities, to the pur- chase of Liberty bonds. and to the pay- ment_of taxes contributed their prop- er hose who possessed very large n- | comes paid into the Natlonal Treasury | about 80 cent of it which, with | heir State and local taxes, came very | close 10 & taking over by the Govern- | ment of their entire property for use during the war. It was, in fact, a prac- | | tical conseription for an indefinite time | )f the property of those of very large incomes. While some of our people were in the service, others were producing food. turning out munitions, looking aft- | er the affairs of government, and cai- | tving on the necessary activities of commerce and transportation, We saw that the individual did not belong wholly to himself, but must re spond to the requirements of his gov tnment. Stated another way, the indi- viduals who make up this natém found | that for their sell-preservation they | must co-operate with each other under | 4 unified leadership and control and contribute their services and their prop- erty in order to save themselves from desiruction. Self-preservation meant | then, us it always does, response to the call of duty Appeals for Defense. Adequate defense meant the proper functioning of the eatire organic life | of the Nation. That lesson carrled over into our peacetime uctivities has been | | one of the chief factors in the enormous progress which the last 10 years have seen. It is & process that is as yet only | in its begiunings, but which is being | perfected from day to day snd which ultimately holds the chief hope of our mater intellectual, und spiritual progress and prosperity. The foundation of it all rests on the extermination of waste and the waster, and on the elimi- nation of slackness and the slacker. It means the co-ordination of national ef- fort through an adequately trained citi- production and _distribution of com- modities that will raise the standard of living around every fireside in the land. While the Government can be a large contributing factor in providing the op- | portunities which will lead to this high ideal, vet our whole experience during the war tells us that if it is to be at- tained it will come through the private enterprise of each individual. Its con- summation requires that each citizen | should do his duty Another fact which shines fortir with a renewed brilliance is thal many of the most précious rewards of life do not lie on the side of material gain. We have had a great deal of discussion con- cerning the injustice of one person going into the service at a very small remu- neration, while #nother remained at home in the enjoyment of very high wages. But I wonder how many of you who put on the uniform and went into action overseas would now be willing to exchange that experience for the few dollars of extra compensation that some one else was able to earn at home dur- ing the latter months of the war.

One of the most gratifying of all reve- lations was that the strength of char- acter of our citizenship was universal It was all-embracing. It was not limited to any locality, to any class, to any na- tionality or to any creed. We found as sturdy and inspiring examples among the foreign-born as among the oldest | native stock. 1t came from some ob scure mountain home, some isolated dwelling on the broad prairie, or somc tenement of a great metropolis. as well | s from those who enjoved the most | favored circumstances. We cannot con- template it without increasing our re- spectfor our people aad rencwing our | faith in our institutions. It was another demonstration that we are all Amerl- | cans As we contemplate these past 10 vears we have every justification for increas- ing our sentiment of patriotism. But while we are doing that we should also remember that other nations during that period have displayed qualities of a high character. They also are entitled to our respect and admiration in their successes and our sympathy and consid- eration in their trials, While it s our privilege and duty as citizens to place our regard for America first, if we are to justify that position we must make | America right ! Because we belfeve in our country it will alwags be our desire and our duty to defend it. It cannot be too ofter stated that we cherish no seutiment o aggression toward any other people. But the obligation to resist evil, to be prepared to maintain the orderly au- thority of the rule of law in both our domestic and our foreign relaions, is | one which cannot be avolded. For the | Government to disregard the science of | national defense would expose it to the | contempt of its citizens at home and of | the world abroad. It would be an at- | tempt to evade bearing our share of the | burdens of civilization. For this rea- son we maintain, according to our-re sources, our population, our position w1 our responsibilities, a moderate Army and Navy based on what we be- lieve to be our requirements for na- tional security, other nations will join’ this movement Had an agreement of this kind been in existence in 1914, there is every reason to suppose that it would have saved the situation and delivered the world from all the misery which was inflicted by the great war, By taking a leading position in secur- ing this agreement, which is' fraught with so much hope for the progress of humanity, we have demonstrated that when we have sald we maintained our armaments, not for aggression, but purely for defense, we were making a ndid statement which we were will- | ing to verify by our actions. T shall not now of the detalls or the implications of this greement other than to point out that of course, it detracts nothing from the other high contracting parties to main- tain an adequate national against any attack, but n 1 parkl for HE retu thoritative Fa from the Hah ew side of black suede. heel Urges Precautions.
