service bent on inflaming the public
mind for the purpose of forcing gov
eminent action through the pressure
of public opinion is an exceedingly
dangerous undertaking and preced-
ent. This is so whatever form it
might take, whether it be for the
purpose of influencing the executive.
the Legislature, or the heads Of de
partmentS.
Support Defense But Resist Mill
tarism
1T is for the civil authority to
determine what appropriations shall
be granted. what appointments shall
be made, and what rules shall be
adopted for~the conduct of its armed
forces. Whenever the military pawer
starts debating to the civil authority,
by whatsoever means adopted. the
liberties of the country are beginning
to end. National defense should at
all times be supported, but any form
of militarism should be resisted"
Advocating selective service act
which would authorize broad mo-
billZation in emergencies of all the
country's resources, both persons and
materials, the President declared that
in time Of war, power should be
lodged somewhere for the stabiliZa-
ton Of prices 'as far as that might
be possible in justice to the country
and its defenders"
Cannot Buy Patriotism
But it will always be impossible
to harmonic justice and war" he
, continued. 1T is always possible to
oil
patriotism can not be purchased
Unless the people are willing to de.
fend their country because of THEN
belief in it, because of their affec.
ton for it, and because it is repre-.
sentative of their home, their coun.
try can not be defended.
''lf we are looking for more com
plete reign of justice. more com
plete supremacy Of law, more com
plete social harmony, we must seel
1T in the paths of peace. Progress.
in these directions under the presen
order of the world is not likely to b.
made except during q state Of GOmes
tic and international tranquility
One of the great questions before tn,
nations today is how to promote sucl
tranquility"
Declaring that one Of the most nat
ural reactions during the war wa
intolerance, the necessity for a com
mon purpose ana united intellect
ual front becoming paramount, Nj
Coolidge saId that when the need 70
such solidarity is past there shoul
be quick and generous readin as
to revert to the old and normal habit
Of thought
Making Progress Possible
There should be an intellectual
rehabilitation as we'll as a militar
rehabilitation" he declared. prog
ress depends very largely on the en-
couragement Of variety. Whateye
tends to standardize the communit,
to establish fixed and rigid modes .
thought, tends to fossilize societ,
II we all believed the same thing an
thought the same thoughts ana an
piled the same valuations to all tn
occurrences about us, we sloul
reach a state of equilibrium closet
akin to an intellectual and spiritu;
paralysis. It is the ferment of idea
the clash of disagreeing judgment
the privilege of the individual to dc
velop his own thoughts and shape hi
own character, that makes progres
possible.
This Country Not Exempt
"In this period of after-war rig:t
ity, suspicion, and intolerance on
own country has not been .exemI
from unfortunate experience
Thanks to our comparative isolation
we have known less of the intern:
tional frictions and rivalries tina
some other countries less fortunatel
situated. But among some of II
varying racial, religious, and soci
groups of our people there. have bee
manifestations of an intolerance (,
