namely, hitting upon a memorial which would carry cut what is thought was the desires of the people in a way that would approach, as nearly as was humanly possible, the first de- sire. This the committee has done. The detailed account of the proposed plan was given in the report. On this mat ter the committee takes the people of the city into its confidence and as- sumes the attitude of earnest CO., operation with the people. It is the right attitude, and the results of it arc shown in the plans proposed. Those who read the report will find therein the answer to every objection they might raise. Walnut Hill park crowned as it will be by this shaft which may be seen for miles around will assume a new significance to all Of us. The play place of the little ones will be spot where inspiration will comes. Many of the improvements we have planned for the park will be in- cluded in this memorial. And if we may imagine the spirits of the men Of New Britain who died in the war as looking down upon the memorial we have raised, we can not but ina zine them as showing their approval that the little children will play not far from the site selected for the memor- ial to their memory.
 This will be the memorial of the people of the city of New Britain 10 the men she honors. IL will have been conceived and set up in the spirit of universal cooperation. It will be but a small tribute, for nothing may be entirely worthy when the sacrifice of life is considered. But it will be sur rounded by an atmosphere Of affection and pride in those who gave their all.
 It is understood, however, that there are some who arg not in favor of memorial in the form Of monu- ment. The Herald has no brief for the present plans. it believes that the wishes of the ma joriry of the people, whose memorial it will be, should be followed. If more wish building, for instance, then 8 building it should be. It is understood that request for a referendum vote on several different plans will be made at the Common Council this evening. Such a method of determining the wishes of the ma jority might be well adopted, but 1t should be born in that referendum voting will take time.
 Tho plan proposed is a striking one. The perpetuation Of the arch we have all loved is impractical if not impos- sible. The public should consider what it wishes, carefully and without prejudice, should become familiar with the submitted plan, and then should allow itself to be heard. The committee is probably sold" on the proposed scheme. it has worked hard 10 develop it. but it will undoubtedly aid in converting tho plans and work ing up a memorial which will be more pleasing to the majority. providing the shaft on Walnut Hill Park is not,

THE PRESIDENTS SPEECH

President Coolidge's speech yester- Way was the utteranee of man who, rightly or wrongly, considers that this country is in a condition where a carelessly spoken word, coming from one in authority, might disturb the balance with d.-astSous results. It is in the spirit of wondering if he is right or wrong rather than in criti- cism, that the comment is made. that he wants no change, no experiments; that he would put nothing to the test at the moment; that he is at the head of prosperous country which any false move might plunge into trouble. It is practically impossible to picture in words the impression the president of the United States made yesterday upon men of the press, accustomed as they are to judging the emotions back of the utterances of public men. The fact that those who heard him feel there were no emotions at all to in- fuence the speaker is stated for what 1t Is worth to the discerning reader. No better comment has been seen than that expressed in the opening paragraph of the editorial in the New York Times as follows;
 President Coolidge seems to
 think that the country needs

 his speech yesterday. It raised
 no new issues. II gave no lift or
 fresh life to old ones. The senti-
 ments which it expressed are be-
 yond cavil. but they revealed no
