OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 6.-President

Speaking before thousands Of
World War veterans at the Amer

President said:
"'Our people have had all the

military service that they want.
Solemnly. he warned the nation

Praises Veterans
After praising the patriotic valor
of the veterans and the military
profession. Mr.. Coolidge expressed
strong opposition to increased mill
tary expenditures:

favor of great military forces,' hs
said, ''no nation ever had an army

attack in time of peace or to insure
its victory in time of war. No nation
ever will Peace and security are
more likely to result from fair and
honorable dealings, and mutual
agreements for limitation of arma-
ments among nations, than by any
attempt at competition in squad
rons and battalions.'
At this point the President warn
ed those who are trying to force u
larger military establishment upon
the country that whenever the
military power starts debating to
the civil authority, by whatsoever
means adopted, the liberties of the
country are beginning to end.
Any organization of men in the
military service bent on inflaming
the public mind for the purpose of
forcing government action through
the pressure of public opinion is an
exceedingly dangerous undertaking
and precedent, " he said
Spend Money on Roads
Rather than spend money on UNI
necessary military expenditures, the
President asked that it be turned

building of better homes, the pro-
motion of education, and all the
