DAVIS SPEECH
 NOT TO DISSENT
 FROM PLATFORM
Democratic Nominee Re- iterates Stand On Treaty
 Ratification
lRx The Associated Pressl

DARK HARBOR, ISLESBORO, Maine, July 25.-Treaties should be rat flied by a majority vote of both houses of congress, instead of by twothirds majority of the senate, as the constitu- tion now requires, is the view of John w. Davis, democratic presidential nOm- inee.
 In giving voice to this belief here to- day, Mir. Davis made his first declara- tion of policy since his nomination, but he was only reiterating a statement to the American Bar Association more than a year ago at the time he was president of that organization.
 ''I said that and I still say it." Mir. Davis declared in reply to questions as to whether he made such a statement. sI believe with John Hay, the fore fathers in their wisdom fixed it so that the kickers could rule. If I had my way the kickers would not be able to rule.
 Treaties had been ratified in the same way that laws are made. One strikes at the vitals of the government no more than the other. I do not know of any other civilized government that requires more than majority, and do not see why it should be required in this country.
 Will Not Dissent
 Asked if his acceptance address would disagree with the party platform especially with reference to the plank proposing a referendum on the League of Nations, the nominee said it would not dissent from it." Pressed on this point he said, "wait until my address is complete. We then can lay it and the platform down together and see how they compare"
 After another morning at work in the studio of his host Charles Dana Gibson, Mir. Davis had an hours con- ference with Thomas l.. ChadbOurne, New York lawyer and one of the chief packers of William Gibbs McAdoO in his campaign for the presidential nOmina- tion.
 Whether campaign financing was dis cussed was not disclosed. Mir. Chad bourne has had much experience in such work and those party leaders who have to do with shaping the campaign organ izati0ns are understood to have under consideration the drafting of his services in the coming campaign.
 Mir. Davis will leave here next Thurs day returning to New York. He will have week there in which to round out his address of acceptance and hold fur. ther conferences before leaving for Clarksburg, w. Va.

President Speaks Farewell To Group On Way
 To International Gathering At Copenhagen

for never address boys without think ing that among them may be boy who will sit in this White House. Somewhere there are boys who will be presidents of our railroads, presidents of colleges, of banks, owners of splendid farms and useful industries, members of Congress, representatives of our peo- pie in foreign lands. That is the heri- tage of the American boy. It was an act of magnificent courage when our ancestors set up nation wherein any boy may aspire to anything.
 That great achievement was not wrought without blood and sacrifice. Make firm your resolution to carry on nobly what has been so nobly begun. Let this nation, under your guidance, be a finer nation. Resolve that the sacrifices by which your great oppor- tunities have been purchased will be matched by sacrifice, on your part, that will give your children even bet ter chance.
 How To Understand Atheist
 '"The third is a reverence for God. It is hard to see how a great man can be an atheist. Without the sustaining influence of faith in a divine power we could have little faith in ourselves, We need to feel that behind us is i'm telligence and love. Doubters do not achieve; skeptics do not contribute {; cynics do not create. Faith is the great motive power and no man realizes his full possibilities unless he has the deep conviction that life is eternally impor- tant and that his work, well done, is a part of an amending plan.
 ''These are not only some of the fun damentals of the teachings of the Boy Scouts, they are the fundamentals of our American institutions. If you will take them with you, if you will be liv- ing examples of them abroad, you will make great contribution toward a better understanding of our own coun- try, and receive in return, better un- derstanding of other countries; for you will find in other lands, to a very large extent, exactly what you carry there yourselves. I trustAthat you can show to your foreign associates in the great scout movement that you have a deep reverence for the truth, and are de- termined to live by it; that you wish to protect and cherish your own coun- try and contribute to the well-being, right thinking, and true living of the whole world"

ITALY PROSPERS' UNDER MIJSSOLIVI. SAYS DAILY MAIL.
Special Correspondent Says Premier Stronger
 Than Ever

LONDON, July 25~-The govern ment of Premier Mussolini is stronger than before the Matteotti crisis, there is not the smallest possibility that the leader will be overthrown and Italy is cOntented and more prosperous than it has ever been, according to the con- clusions of a special correspondent, whom the Daily Mail sent on a mis- sion to Rome.
 The newspaper gives prominence to the correspondents report which fills nearly four columns and constitutes what probably is the most unqualified panegyric ever bestowed upon the Ital- ian premier by a foreign publication The correspondent says, in part:
 -"To enter Italy today is to enter the most cheerful land in Europe. It is the only country where hope abounds, where spirit and youthful vigor are everywhere visible and where there certainly has been great and wonderful development"
 These encomiums are made possible, according to the writer by the able ac- tivities of the Mussolini administral , tion which the correspondent declares is a great contrast to the previous gov ernment of Italy. He admits there were some critical moments during the excitement which followed the alleged Kidnapping and staying of the social deputy, Matteotti, but says the govern ment's position is now as stable as ever.
 Concluding his article the writer says: '1f by any mischance Mussolini were overthrown now the effect would shake the whole of Europe and bring chaos and destruction perceptibly nearer"

WASHINGTON, July 25.-Rever' ence for nature, law and for God was laid down as the fundamentals of Boy Scouthood and of American institutions, by President Coolidge in an address de- livered at the White House and trans mitted by telephone to farewell meet ing in New York for group of Boy Scouts who will sail tomorrow to at tend an international gathering of the organization in Copenhagen.
 The President bads the scouts fare well in his capacity as honorary presi- dent of the American Boy Scouts and enjoined the departing boys to show to their foreign associates, in the scout movement, that they desired to protect and cherish their own country, and contribute to the well-being, right thinking, and true living of the whole world"
 There was no boy scout organiza- tion in my boyhood, but every boy who has the privilege of growing up on a fundamentals of scouthood," the Presi- dent said.
 The Great Restorer
 ''The first is a, reverence for nature. Boys should never lose their love of the fields and the streams, the moun- tains and the plains, the open places and the forests. That love will be a priceless possession as your years lengthen out, there is instructive myth about the Giant Anteus. When ever, in contest he was thrown down, he drew fresh strength from his mother the earth and so was thought invinci ble. But Hercules lifted him away from the earth and so destroyed him. There is new life in the soil for every man. There is healing in the trees for tired minds, and for our overburdened spirits there is strength in the hills, if only we will lift up our eyes. Re member that nature is your great re- storer.
 'The second is a reverence for law. l remember the town meetings of my boyhood when the citizens of our little town met to levy taxes on themselves and to choose from their own number those who should be their officers. There is something in every such meet ing, in every election, that approaches very near to the sublime. I am thrilled at the thought If my audience tonight,

Chancellor Mare Says Government
 Backs Dawes Plan

(By Leased Wire to -HeraIdl
 BERLIN, July 25.-Despite the sa- hotage efforts of the nationalists, the German government will stand by the Dawes plan and try to fulfill it's pro- visions for a separations solution. Chan cellor Marx revealed this attitude in an address before the reichstag Friday.
 "The government attitude has not all tered since the statement l made upon assuming office" Marx declared.
 When he first took office, the chan cellor promised that Germany would abide by the terms of the experts re- port, provided arrangement was made for the French evacuation of the Ruhr. In confirming that promise before the reichstag, after recent threats by the nationalists to wreck application of the Dawes report, Marx cautiously added that ke did not consider it advisable to elaborate on his views. The time is not opportune to enter q long dis cussion of the German position, he pointed out.
 Marx said the original government statement still covered the situation. In his first announcement Marx de- clared for open acceptance of the Dawes recommendations. but regarded it as proper that the allies should re- store Germany's economic sovereignty. In other words, it is the belief of the chancellor and his government that all the conditions stipulated in the Dawes plan should be carried out. These pro vided for gradual allied withdrawal from the Ruhr and the return to Ger many of control over her economic life.
 The chancellor referred to the re peated allied charges regarding Ger many's guilt for the war-the guilt lie," as the Germans call it. The ma tionalists have planned to capitalize the German resentment on this score. Marx referred to an earlier statement in which he held that Germany was not solely guilty for the war, and em- phasized that time was required to pre- sent the German case and that his tory alone could be the final judge.
