WORLD DEPENDS
UPON SPIRITUAL
VALUES, VIEW OF
VICE PRESIDENT
Calvin S. Coolidge, Ad-
dressing Am h e r S t
Centennial r Meeting,
Says Something More
Than Prosperity | s
Needed to Justify f y
Present World Bur
dens.

Amherst, Mass, June 20.-Spiritual
values aressthe onlgs.rsliance Of the
world in trying to meet present
problems, Vice President Calvin Cool-
idge said in an address at the opening
exercises of the centennial celebra-
tion of Amherst college today. The
work of the world will not be done,' .
he said, unless it is done from mo-
tive of righteousness"
. After recalling that Amherst col
lege was founded for the purpose of
civilizing and evangeliging the world
by the classical education Of INDECENT
young men of piety and talent, Vice
President Coolidge said. ~"
Individuals and nations are at the
present time afflicted with great bur-
dens. As result of the REIMBURSEMENT
which has taken place during the last
year, men find their resources very
much impaired, with no correspond
ing reduction of their expenses.
Oftentimes both capital and credit
have been entirely exhausted. The
nations of the earth are struggling
under great load of debt incurred
and resulting from the war The rails
ing of sufficient revenues to meet the
cost of government 'is not only q
grievous burden, but lin some cases
has not yet been found possible
Why We Must Pay
"The question that confronts us on
every hand, whether in the considera-
tion of private or public interests Is
how these burdens can be born. 1t
con scarcely be said that they should
be borne solely in order to secure a
resulting prosperity.
The world must look for something
more than prosperity In the present
situation. The Individual must look
for something more than wages and
profits for his compensation. Unless
this satisfaction can he found by pro-
cesding in the way of right and truth
and justice, the search for it will fail.
The material things of life cannot
stand alone. Unless they are sustained
by the spiritual things of life they are
not sustained at all. The work of
the world will not be done unless 1t is
done from motive Of righteousness

the importation of citrus fruits from
Australia, Tasmania and New Zea-
land, in an effort to prevent the in
PRODUCTION of the citrus canker into
the United States will be considered
at public hearing to be held here
by the federal horticultural board,
United States department of agricul-
ture, July 10, 1921, at 10 a. m. Any
person interested in the proposed
quarantine may appear and be heard
either in person or by attorney.
The proposed step is the latest of
a series of similar safeguards now in
force for the protection of the citrus
groves in this country. The disease.
which is a dangerous one, is not wide
ly prevalent or distributed in this
country It's presence in other coun-
tries, however particularly many
parts of eastern and southeastern
Asia, has resulted in quarantine
against citrus fruits from these in
tested parts.
With the addition of Australia, Tas-
mania, and New Zealand, the Quaran-
tine would be complete against In
dia, Siam, Indo-China. China, the Ma
layan Archipelago, the Philippines,
Oceania. Japan, Formosa and the 9th
er Islands adjacent to Japan and the
Union of South Africa. All citrus
fruits from these places are excluded
except oranges of the Mandarin class,
which are entered under permit.
