When Calvin Coolidge faced a bat
terry of six microphones on Wednes-
day and took the first presidential
oath ever broadcast 1t required a
working force of approximately 25o
men, scattered throughout the United
States; the use of 5000 miles of wire,
some 100000 dimly lit tubes and a
million or so sensitive bits of crystal
to carry his words to the four cor
ners of the country.
In all, including loops and aerials,
loud speakers and other apparatus,
the cost of the material used is said
to have exceeded 5000, 900.
The audience that heard Presid dent
Coolidge speak, although not the
greatest radio gathering that has
ever been addressed, is estimated to
have totaled approximately 20,000,-

COOLIDGE SPEECH
PLEASES BR|TONS
Growing United States Inter-
est in World Affairs Seen
in Address.
By the Associated Press.

b' the Askoclated Press
LONDON, March 5.-The LIVERPOOL
Post and the Manchester Guardian
find in President Coo1idge's Inaugural
address the promise of continued
and growing American interest in
world affairs
They consider his restatement OF be
lief in the need of American adhesion
to the World Court, and his reference
to the hope that international confer
ences may occur at frequent inter
vals' of outstanding Importance to
Europe
The Liverpool Post sees in the ad-
dress the determination of the Presi-
dent to make his personal influence
felt, and declares:
In that event he may be expected
10 take energetic steps toward his
schemes for disarmament conferences
and for securing Americas adherence
to the protocol establishing the In
ternational Court of Justice"
Sees Trouble in Senate.
The Presidents chief troubles prob
ably will be with the Senate. the
newspaper thinks, but it concludes
that body may be more tractable to
his wishes than it was when the
"NiO II iiOI tOO bIdsleIlys SOOu sense
of Secretary Hughes was understood
10 inspire the Presidents attitude on
foreign policy and related topics"
The Manchester Guardian pays
tribute 10 the Presidents level head
edness' and his refusal to be hustled
either by big business with an ak
10 grind or by the wilder sort of
isolationist"
The tenor OF the inaugural ad-
dress, it asserts, makes il clear that
Europe will not lack sympathy and
help from the Coolidge administration
in the effort to find that formula for
peace on the search for which the
President explains he has himself
spent earnest thought"
