U. 5. HAS BIG ROLE IN WORLD PEACE
President Coolidge Says We Have WeiShty Responsibility
By The Assoclated rrtss.

By The Associated prtss,
 Washington, May g, -- President Coolidge, opening tho national ora torical contest with an address hero last night, declared that the United States has "a wcighty responsibility, not only for maintaining it's own welfare. liberties and power but for the utmost possible contribution to-. ward organizing tho nations and peoples in the aspirations and ways of peace"
 Here is n field for institutional development 10 which the thoughts of men and women everywhere arc turned as they never were before, " 'le continued. Though their scale is greater. yet the problems in this realm ot world organization are es- sentially the same as those 10 which mankind has been addressing itself from the beginning of society,
 "These are the problems of assur- ing justice alike to the weak and strong; of assuring peace with hon or, of enthroning conscience in places Of authority too long usurpcd by mere force. The same humanity that has been able to erect the rule of law and liberty on the scale of great nations and mighty tcdcrations will at last find institutions by which to place international rcla- ' Ip ! tions."
 1 Recalling that he had delivered an address when a similar contest was being held here year ago, the president reminded his hearers that he had observed then that there never was q time when our institu- tons were so universally being sub 1 JeCted 10 intimate scrutiny and close consideration as they are today.
 T urged the special importance of closely studying our institutions in order that the people might ht ! equipped intcIigcntly 10 defend them. Since that suggestion was iadvanced, we have literally taken a national referendum on the subject { Of our constitutional system, and am glad to be able to report that the verdict was overwhelmingly in favor of sustaining that system and going on 10 perfect it.

MOSES HITS DAWES
 ON SENATE DEBATE
Ials Rules Permitting Unlimit. ed Talk Guard Against BloCs

Syracuse, N. Y., May 9. --- Sen ate rules permitting unlimited de- Late are the country's strongest safeguards against nasty legislation by q coalition of the blocs that have sprung up in American political fife, Senator Moses, republican. New Hampshire, declared here tonight in an address defending those rules against the assaults of Vice Prcsl- dent Dawes,
 ealing attention that the coali- tons differed from day tO day as rcw legislation to cure the ills eX- isting In different sections are ad- yancod, the president pro tempore Of tho senate said the maJoritles thus momcntarily welded together are bound 10 be as reckless as t5ey are cphemeral."
 senator Moses said it was aXio- matic that the majority had the right to rule. but he declared that ma iortics differed from day to day.
 "The majority in the senate" he sail. "is no longer partisan or even political. In point Of fact, except through artificial means, strict party division is rarely 10 be had nowadays at either end of the capl- to. and the expressing questions of fedora legislation nowadays are those O. economic import affecting the material interests Of sectional groups of states"
 Detailing his own experiences in tho senate, Senator Moses said he could not feel that the rules worked more than a fancieI hardship. He aGdel that he could not believe that even more seasoned legislators lhan himself could freely contepl- plate a movement 10 change them
 Hits Dawes Where He Lives
 "It is 10 be observed" he said, @hat with few exceptions the de- mand for a change in the rules ot the senate arises from those whose contact with the senate is either brief or non existent. Many a man has come into the senate with a de- termination 10 tame it, and almost without exception these men them selves have been tanned by the sen ate and have come 10 realize the true value of the senate rules"
 Senator Moses declared that

limitation Of debate already exists in the senate through unanimous consent arrangements frequently resorted to after full and free dis cussion, He also called attention to the rule which enables sixteen sen ators to force a vote without de- bate on the question Of limiting de- bate on any subject to one hour for each senator, Only a majority vote is necessary to enforce such limitation, he added.
 A remedy for everything com plained of in senate rules, Senator Moses went on. is offered in tho Norris constitutional amendment, which would do away with short sessions Of congress and prevent legislation by "lamc ducks" by nov Ing up the meeting time of Q new. ly elected congress from the March after the election 10 January
 "I have not observed" he said | that any of those now so busily l engaged in dofaming the senate have shown any willingness 10 cn. dorsc Senator Norris proposal. II may be that they are as ignorant Of it as they are Of the actual ef- feet Of tho rules ot the senate.
 "Yet in this impatient age il is surely not too much to ask that there may still remain in this coun. try some forum in which freedom 1 Of expression in length. If not ir depth, may still be found. II in tn, ideas Of the Pounding Fathers a' President Harding liked to refer tc them, there still remains merit ir their conception Of a republic will representative institutions, surely i is worth while 10 retain one place where that conception may be sus l tained.

sentatives of the British coal miners

lord of the admiralty. as mediator,
had separately with the workers and
mine owners. The Miners Fedora
ton has announced a strike to take
effect July 81. when the present work

pires. Every effort is being made to
bring the two sides together. but the
miners had previously refused to meet
the owners unless the latter withdrew

ton of an eight-hour day for the pres

Between a million and a million and
a quarter miners would be affected
by the strike call. These are the esti-

BERLIN. July 24:-The Reichstag,
by a vote of 235 to 15s, yesterday reg
istered it's approval of the Luther

fusal to support the motion presented
by the coalition parties on the ground
that the Nationalists, who are repre-.

tinued their opposition to Germany's
entering the League of Nations.
The vote was received as complete
victory for Chancellor Luther andp his

months has been a target for at
