So far I agree with Mr. Coolidge. But I maintatin that we need not fear that any nation or group of nations will attack our country, be- cause they would have nothing at all 1o gain by doing so. Doubt Our Sincerity. “It is quite understandable that nther | nations doubt our sincerity when our Secretary of State goes to them with a | proposal to renounce war and then, upon his return before the treaty is ratified by the Senate, our President proclaims the necessity of a bigger navy. “President Coolidge is quite properly | opposed to any policy which would lead | us to finance future European wars: but apparently he is now favoring hugs | appropriations that would finance the | United Staies in preparation for future | wars.

This country has a bigger stake in peace and prosperity than any | other nation. Because we are more powerful, we could do more to effect peace than any other nation or group of nations. If we had the vision ‘undl courage to throw all our influence into | such efforts we. would achieve endur- ing peace.

NEW YORK, November 17.—The 15-cruiser bill and the “business basis” foreign policy advozated by President | | | Coolidge in his Armistice anniversary | address have the unqualificd support of James W. Gerard, war-time Am- bassador to Germany and Democratic leader. “I agreed with every word the Presi- dent said,” said Mr. Cerard. *“Th United States must adopt a business like attitude toward Europe. Foreig: loans should bz curtailed and the moneys devoted to improvement of the conditions of our own people. We can | take the Kellogg Peace Pact on faith‘ only. “We must have more cruisers for na- tional defens>. I wish the cruiser bill provided for 30 instead of 15. “Defense Necessity.” “For 10 years the United States has | advocated the limitation of armaments | without outstanding progress,” Mr. Ger- ard said. “At the meeiing between | Japan, Great Britain and the United | States we advocated limitation of cruiser tons. As the British asked for from 425,000 to 600,000, which constituted not a limitation but an extension of war fleets, no agrecment was made. Lost Summer France and England suggested a tentative agreement which limited the number of submar.nes and cruisers adapted to our use, bui placed no limit on their own. “We did all that we could to pro- mote the cause of disarmament, but we must not forget that adequate na- tional defense is necessary for preserv- ing order and peace in the world. When the present British program is carried out, Great Britain will have 68 cruisers. In the view of facts, I believe that the 15-cruiser program now before the Sen- ate is far too small a number. It is not a question of competition with other nations; it is a defense necessity. “I heartily agree with President Cool- idge's commenis on the unwise exten- sion’ of cur foreign loans. It's high time we looked after our own interests. Since the war Europe has gotten in the habit of bleeding us for money. She has the idea that both our supply and our patience are inexhaustible.

During and after the war the United Siates went to th2 rescue of Europe. Our resources de- livered her from ruin. For us, the final cost ot the war will probably exceed $100,000,000,000. » The cost of war fell heaviest upon us because we received no benefit from the redivision of terri- tory and the payment of reparations. “But now money rates in Europe are lower than in America. England and France have substantial foreign credits. Both countries are making lnrge ex- penditures for war equipment. I agree with the President, that we must not 5 | finance preparation for the future wars | of Europe. “I am afroid that Europe is at present incapable of meeting us_half way in desire for straightforward diplo- macy and prosperity through peace For so many centuries the countries of Europe have been embroiled in feuds that they are unable to shake off these d animosities all at once, istory demenstrates that a country which makes a reasonable preparation for war is less likely to b2 attacked.

The Keliogg peace pact was desig- nated by Mr. Gerard as a ‘benevolent gosture,” which was mot contradictory fo the policies outlined by President Coolidge on Armistice day. “Filteen nations have met in Paris and signed a trealy which condemns recourse to war,” he said.

The most favorable construction put on the speech is that at the back of his‘ mind Mr. Coolidge regards 15 new cruisers as a lever for s>curing limita- tion and that it rests with Europe and especially with Great Britain which s.de of his dual policy—greater strength or desire for limitation—takes shape in | American action during the coming| years.

It is felt that the way now is clear for a new orlentation of naval policy, and Lord Cecil makes a strong appeal for an Anglo-American naval agreement, based not on strategic equality which is impossible, but on mathematical equality, which is in the mind of every American statesman with whom he has dis=ssed the subject.

PARI3, November 17.—The efforts of the American administration to appear uninterested in Furcpean afiairs ara giving diplomats the world over many hearty laughs. Sacretary Kellogg attempted to dem- onstrate in his Armistice day speech | that the pact signed by 58 powers does inot involve America in European af- | tairs, while on the same day President Coolidge related the American Army's| part in the last war and discussed naval disarmament, reparations and Europe's debts to the United States, Practically, it is difficult not to con- jcern one’s self with the affairs of one's debtors.

Pennsylvania is the only State which allows party nominees to pick their own ticket of electors, but very few nomi- nes have known of or taken advantage of this privilege. Hoover and Smith did not select electors within 39 days after the national conventions, as provided in the law, so the procedure went the usual routine. Chancellor Churchill of the British ex- crequer had induced him to remain at his post. President Coolidge and Secretary Kel- logg gravely insist that they will not mingle in European affairs. while inch by inch they contest ths caliber of Brit- ish cannon and declare America’s need for defenses against aggression. Striking contradictions? They prove how difficult it is to get out of routine ruts. The United States has done and is doing wonders to put Europe on its feet for all time. but protests that it will not meddle in Furopean affairs or join the League of Nations. Role of League of Nations. Europe, meanwhile, little realizes what America 'is doing and declares whole falih in the League, though dotng little to make its role effective. A wise Frenchman wrote eight years ago: “The League will be a financial in- stitution or nothing.” He little knew how true his prophecy was. Neither the League nor the Kellogg pact can realize the people’s aspirations toward disary ment, but in the realm of credit they can insure a European reparations set- tlement and a balancing of war debts and create an international bank of is- sue in Europe which would be to na- tional banks as the Federal Reserve in America. Vet the United States will not assist the League to accomplish this, but pre- fers to maintain the position of world financial arbiter, though constantly dis- claiming any interference in world af- fatrs. This contradiction, which seems y to persist, is fraught with risks.
