The President declares -his opposi-

president says that some useful

Asks Veterans Relief.
In general way tho President
aligns himself with the American
Legion in its suggestions for legisla-
tion to improve the lot OF disabled
veterans. He favors bringing within
the classified civil service first, second
and third class postmasters and the
held force of prohibition enforcement,
without covering in the present mem
bership of the last. He advocates the
development of the inland waterways.
including the purchase by the Govern
ment of the Cap Cod Canal, and he
makes particular plea for the con
solidation of welfare work in the Dis
trict of Columbia under the direction
of q single commission.

OUTLAW OF WAR.

Much interest has of late been
manifested in this country in the dis
cussion of various proposals to out
law aggressive war. l look with
great sympathy upon the examina-
tion of this subject. 1t is in har-
mony with the traditional policy of
our country, which is against aggres-
sive war and for the maintenance of
permanent and honorable peace.
While, as l have said We must safe
guard our liberty to deal according
to our own judgment with our domes-
tic policies, we cannot fail to view
with sympathetic interest all prog
ress to this desired end or carefully
to study the measures that may be
proposed to attain it.

FOREIGN DEBTS.

About Sl2, ,00O, 900, 600 is due 10 our
Government from abroad mostly
from European governments. Great
Britain. Finland, Hungary. LIthuania
and Poland have negotiated settle
ments amounting close to $1,000, ,oo0.-
GOO. This represents the funding Of
over - per cent of the debt since
the creation of the special Foreign
Debt Commission. As tho life of this
commission is about to expire. its
term should be extended. | am op-
posed to the cancellation Of these
debts and believe il for the best well
fare of the world that they should
be Hquidated and paid as fast as
possible. ! do not favor oppressive
measures, but unless money that is
borrowed is repaid credit cannot be
secured in time of necessity and
there exists besides a moral obIica-
ton which our country cannot ignore
and no other country can evade
Terms and conditions may have to
conform to differences in the financial
abilities Of the countries concerned,
but the principle that each country
should meet its obligation admits OF
no differences and is of universal
application.
It is automatic that our country
cannot stand still. II would seem to

But II wants no pretenses, it wants
no yagarieS. 1t is determined to ad-
vance in an orderly. sound and com
mou-SeuSe way. 1t does not propose
to abandon the theory of the DecIa-
ration that the people have inslen-
able rights which no maj jority and no
power of government can destroy. II
does not propose to abandon the
practice Of the Constitution that pro-
Yides for the protection of these
rights. 1t believes that within these
limitations, which are imposed not by
the fiat Of man. but by the law of
the Creator, government is just
and wise. 1t is convinced that it will
be impossible for the people TO pro-
vide their own government unless
they continue to own their own "ro--
erty.

INTERNATIONAL LAW.

Our country should also support
efforts which are being made toward
the codification of international law.
We can look more hopefully, in the
first instance, for research and
studies that are likely to be produc-
tive of results, to cooperation
among representatives of the bar and
members of international law insti-
tutes and societies, than to a con-
ference of those who are technically
representative of their respective
governments, although, when projects
have been developed, they must go
to the governments for their ap-
proval These expert professional
studies are going on in certain quar-
ters and should have our constant
encouragement and approval.

LATIN AMERICA.

While We are desirous of promot-
ing peace in every quarter of the
globe, We have special interest in
the peace of this hemisphere. 1t is
our constant desire that all causes of
dispute in this area may be TRANQUILITY
and satisfactorily adjusted. Along
with our desire for peace is the earn

of our sister republics of Latin Amer

mote cooperation with them which
may be mutually beneficial and

struggle was shot in the hand. He
said his wife had been slain when he
was awakened.
Police contended, however, a slash

to have entered, was too small to
have admitted a hand to unfasten the
window. That. ana other bits of evil

Some Bills Held Over.

A number Of the proposals adj
vanced by Mr.. Coolidge are covered
by bills which came over from last
session. There are other pending
measures to which the President
voiced disapproval, chief among them
being Senator La Follettes bill to
change the basis Of valuation of the
railroads.
The reading OF the message in the
TWO Houses was simultaneous. There
were comparatively large crowds in
the galleries, who appeared TO give
even closer attention to the Prest-
dents recommendations than did the
members of the House and Senate.
As the reading went forward there
we've private conferences on the
floors by groups of Senator's and

however, the lawmakers followed the
