that if the police transgressed The laws

From which it may be correctly gath
cred that Coolidge is a supporter of es-
tablished government rather than a
dreamer of radical changes. He voiced
his position ON another much agitated
question in his inaugural address when
he said, speaking of transportation,
particularly as concerns street rail
ways:
''Public ownership is no answer to
this problem, as it would increase no
revenue. The question is one of our
needs and our duties must be squarely
met AS a public necessity the govern
ment is warranted in giving aid Ito the
railroads). In the period of readiust-
ment we may have to apply extraordi-

''Gov. Coolidge is Yankee who ex-
pressed his mind in sharp, terse phras-

when the Boston police began their ag-
itation in August. "a farmers boy,
born in Vermont, he struggled for ev-

ly expect, an era of national prosperity
unsurpassed i'll our history. The peo-
pie of the earth ardently long to enter
upon this era so that they may begin to
rebuild that which has been DESTROYED.
This cannot be done until normal COM
mercial and industrial conditions are re-
stored, and they can only be restored in
one way and that is by ratifying the
treaty of peace which now lies ON the
table in the United States senate. The
economic life of the world will continue
in its stagnant and wretched state of
uncertainty until the senate consents to
ratification.
I'm the treaty of peace there is moth
ing which invades the sovereignty of this
republic or which limits in any way the
full exercise of such sovereignty. There
may be in the treaty features which do
not meet universal approval. 1t would
be strange if it were otherwise. But
the objections which have been made to
certain provisions are trivial compared
with the imperative need of peace.
1--WE ought to have peace at once. The
treaty should be ratified without delay
and without change. 1t is narrow
minded craftsmanship which would en-
danger the going into effect of the
treaty by changing its provisions and
thereby postponing the return of peace.
[ cannot comprehend how any man with
true appreciation of the situation,
much less one who shares the response
bility, can permit any objection less than
the impairment of the national sover-
aignty of the United States to weigh
L. Il s
ion for the restoration of peace.
LET the treaty be Immediately rati-
fed and let us go forward with the
great task which lies before us. The
world demands it; patriotism demands
t; common sense demands it. We have
,lready waited far too long"

NEW YORK. Nov 7.-Investigation

AS the first step in establishing his
contention Smith delivered to the
grand jurors his celebrated police
blue book" naming officers who, he
asserted, have been involved in cor
rupt practices.
