Philadelphia, Jan. 16.-America
is regaining its mental poise. re-es-
tablishing it's economic stability
and leading the nations in one of
the great liberal movements of
mankind, Vice President Calvin
Coolidge, in an address tonight
told the Philadelphia Forum, No
American, he said. could survey the
developments of the last year with
out q renewed faith in the finan-
cial strength and the moral vigor
of the nation and a renewed hope
for the welfare of the world.
Trials Passing Away.
There have been doubts" the
speaker said. but they are being
solved. There have been trials, but
they are passing away. The hand
OF man is turning again to indus
try men and nations are coming
closer and closer in the harmonious
relationship of peace"
Through a series of fortunate
circumstances America has been
permitted to recover first from the
disastrous results of the war, Mr..
Coolidge said.
But" he added, from our great
accomplishment we ought not to
turn to great disbursement, but
to great confidence. If ever there
was a time, that time is now when
the people Of America and of all
the earth ought to feel with in
creasing warrant. that they are es-
tablished in the possession of the
power to do and dare. This pro-
cess has already begun. No one
who knows America could doubt
that not for long will she refuse to
face facts with a clear vision or
lack for confidence or courage"
Work of the Cabinet.
The vice president also recount
ed the accomplishments of the ad-
ministration in Washington. In
touching upon the work of the cab
Iinet he said, that by reorganization
/ it is hoped to coordinate and uni
fly the work Of these departments
so that they will neither overlap
nor be hampered by functions
which should be performed by
some other department.
at is expected" he declared,
that n reorganization will not only
make a considerable saving at once,
which will enlarge as time goes on,
but cause a more effective admin
istration of all the activities of the
government"
Mr.. Coolidge outlined the expect
ed results from legislation enacted
! by the last and present congress,
paying particular attention to the
| tax revision. and reviewed the ac-
| tivities of the bodies studying the
tariff, railroad and merchant ma
| rine measures.
Arms Conference.
In reviewing the Washington
arms conference, the speaker said:
1T will be noted that the list of
positive accomplishments has been
steadily increasing. To the agreed
, limitation of capital ships, the
peace promoting provisions of the
/ four power treaty. there has been
added the declaration against the
use of the submarine as a com
merce destroyer. and the prohibi-
ton of the use of poisonous gases.
| Along with these have gone limi-
Itations as to the size and armament
of auxiliary craft. the settlement
| of conflicting interests in Yap and
the inundated islands north of the
equator, the agreement to respect
the sovereignty of China, to provide
her with full chance to develop,
to maintain an equality o. oppor-
tunity of all nations for her COM
merce, take no advantage of her
present condition and the agree
ment relative to the administration
of the Chinese tariff, together with
the prospect of a settlement of
conflicting claims of China and Ja-
pan, in the province of Shantung,
which show that the work of the
conference is steadily and success
fully proceeding"
