 We have been drawn into close relationship with other nations" MT. Coolidge said. xxxx We are more concerned than ever with our for elgn affairs. The wealth of our peo- pie is going out In & constant stream Of record dimensions for restoration and development in all parts of the world. We want our moral influ- cnce to be on the side Of liberty, of education, of fair elections, and Of honest constitutional government, Where our obligations to our own citizens under international law have required 1t We have extended our help to those who were attempt ing to secure these results. But we have refrained from meddlesome in- terference, because We recognize not only the right but the necessity for each people to work out their own destiny"
 Declaring that the present posi- tion of the United States has been attained not by accident. but by fol- lowing a carefully thought out policy. Mir. Coolidge held that two of the basic reasons for the nations development have been opposition to the principle of government owner ship and maintenance of a protective tariff. He contended that "anv ma terlal reduction Of our general tariff rates would ultimately result in a drastic deflation Of agricultural and industrial values. in the rate Of wages, and in the standards Of l,y

There is nothing more likely to re- veal the soul Of a people. History is uttered with stories of nations de- stroyed by their own wealth. It is true that we have accumulated a small but a blatant fringe of ex- traVasance and waste, fourished in ldleness, and another undesirable class who seek to live without work. A successful people are always q mark for the vicious and the crim- inal. But these are conspicuous manly by contrast.

 Under our present system," the President said, "our foreign con- merce has reached the highest peace-t time record and our national income has steadily increased to the enormous proportions Of s90,o00,- 0oo,OO0 for the last calendar year. This represents volume of produc- ton and trade far in excess of that which any other country ever reach ed. It is the zenith of our prosperity. All Of this should be considered in any appraisal Of the worth of our long, established policy"

EASE IS DECAY
 PRESIDENT SAYS
Executive Declares America
 Faces Test of Prosperity

Philadelphia, Nov. IS. - LP - A new era in which Americas prosper lty will be turned to a development Of its resources and defenses and to- ward promotion of peace between all nations was portrayed by President Coolidge last night in an address be- fore the Union league of Philadel- phia.
 Choosing this organization. found "d in the trying days of the Civil war. for q review Of his adminstra- tons achievements and its plans for the future, the President cautioned that a new test has arisen for the American people-the test of pros nerity-and expressed the conviction hat the great mass Of people realize that the doctrine of ease Is the doctrine of surrender and decay"
 The country. he said, has reached the zenith Of its prosperity. the end of Its task Of postwar reconstruc- tion is in sight and the time when internal improvements may be con- sidered is at hand.
 "Flood control must he complet- ed.' the President declared. "A waterway system for the Mississippi

 "On the sea we shall round out our navy with more submarines and more cruisers, and private owner ship should provide 1t with an auxiliary merchant marine of fast cargo boats. On land We shall be building Up our air forces, especially by encouraging commercial avia- tion."
 The ability to do these things. Mir. Coolidge declared, is the result Of past insistence on economy in na- tional expenditures" which simul- taneously has made possible three reductions of taxes with the promise of a further moderate lifting Of the burden In the next Congress. The principal weakness existing, in his opinion, Is the remaining s1S,00n.- O0o,000 of the national debt which he described as a menace to the na- tional credit
 Tt Is the greatest weakness in our line of national defense" he said. Tt Is the largest obstacle in the path Of our economic development. It should be retired as fast as pos slble under system Of reasonable taxation. This can be done only by continuing the policy of rigid gov ernment economy"
