 Conscription Comment.
 In speaking of conscription, MT
 Coolidge said that 1t ''is more and
 more becoming the conviction oi
 students of adequate defense that in
 time of national peril the govern
 ment should be clothed with au-
 thority to call into its service all oi
 its man power and all of it's proper
 ty under such terms and conditions
 that it may completely avoid mak-
 ing sacrifice of one and a profiteer
 of another.
 ITO expose some men to the per ills of the battle field while others are left to reap large gains from the distress of their country is not in harmony with our ideal of equality" he said. Any future policy of con- scription should be all inclusive, ap- plicable in its terms to the entire personnel and the entire wealth of the whole nation
 After asserting that the Armistice of 1918 "did not mark the end of the war, for the end is not yet" Mir. Coolidge declared for adequate mili- tary, naval and aviation prepared ness while he emphasized that the United States does not seek to be a military power and "cherishes no imperialistic designs" At the same time, he reiterated the desire of the Washington government for les sening of competitive armaments.
 Speaks Of Treaties.
 "We have at last entered into treaties with the great powers,' he said. eliminating to large degree competition in naval armaments We are engaged in negotiations to broaden and extend this humane and enlightened policy and are will ing to make reasonable sacrifices to secure its further adoption"
 Tn mentioning the war debts owed the United States by foreign coun- tries and their adjustment, MT. Cool idge again emphasized that mod eration is a mutual international obligation.
 "Our government" he said in this connection, has steadily maintained the policy of the recognition ana sanctity of international obligations and the performance of internatlon- al covenants. It has NOT believed that the world, economically, flnan- cially, or morally, could rest upon any other secure foundation. But such a policy does not include extor- tion or oppression. XXX We nave therefore undertaken to deal "lth other countries in accordance win these principles believing that thelr ,nn1ication is for the welfare Of the world and the advancement Of CIVIL ization.''
 Reports that Europe dislike Amer ica were met by the president With the statement that he wanted to he sure that the attitude and acts of the American government are right" and that he was will ~ to intrust to others the full responsi- bility for the results of their own behavior"
 The Ideals of Peace
 If we are to have peace he as serted. i've are to live in accord ance with the dictates of hlgner life. We shall avoid any national spirit of suspicion, distrust, and ha- tired toward other nations. The olo World has for generations lnduiged itself in this form of luxury. The results have been ruinous. It IS not for us who are more fortunately circumstanced to pass judgment upon those who are less favored. In their place we might have done worse. But it is our duty to De warned by their example and 10 take full advantage Of our own posi- tion, We want understanding, good | will, and friendly relations between ourselves and all other people. The first requisite for this purpose IS friendly attitude on our own part. | They tell us that we are not liked Tn | Europe. Such reports are undoubt- edly exaggerated and can be given too much importance. We are a creditor Nation. We are more prosperous than some others. Lot int come within the European circle where distrust and suspicion, If nothing more, have been altogether too common. To turn such atten- tion to us indicates at least that we are not ignored.
 While we can assume no re- sponsibility for the opinions Of others, we are responsible for our own sentiments. We ought to be wise enough to know that in the sober and informed thought Of oth- ar countries we probably hold the place of a favored nation. We ought not to fail to appreciate the trials md difficulties, the suffering and he sacrifices Of the people of our sister nations, and to extend to them It all times our patience, our sym oathy. and such help as we believe will enable them to be restored to ] sound and prosperous condition"
 There was little need to inquire low the world war began, MT. Cool dge said in discussing the conflict,
 Nothing is to be gained from and recriminations." he declared. "We are attempting to re- tore the world to a state of better understanding and amity. We can ven leave to others the discussion If who won the war. IL is enough or us to know that the side on which we fought was victorious" Iew York Concert Leader Arrested: Wife Complains
