PLANS
DELAYED BY ETHICS.
Cannot Make Decision on Fu-
ture While Serving as
Chief Executive.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

There Is no mystery about the un-
willingness of President Coolidge to an
nounce his plans for the future. He has
made it clear that he will not decide on
the many suggestions and opportunities
that have been offered him until after
March 4.
The reason is that the President feels
it would be indelicate of him to make
any business or professional connection
or to enter into any contracts or en-
gagements of a personal character while
the United States.
It is not that he would be unable to
differentiate in his decisions on ques-
tions affecting public policy as they
might relate to his future business
affiliations, but he feels that the Presi-
dent ought not to be embarrassed by
the presence of any such possible con-
f1ict.
No man ever held the presidency Of
the United States who had a higher
regard for the ethics of his Office.
Mr., Coolidge did not, for instance,
make an active campaign for himself IN
1924, and he did not, under the same
line of reasoning, make a campaign Tor
the candidate who was to be his sue
cessor. He did not intervene in the con-
tests between candidates before the ma
tional conventions. And if the truth
were known, his famous I-do-not-
choose-to-run statement was prompted
as much by a desire to keep the pres1-
Dental Office aloof from the criticism
of seeking continuation in power as It
was a disinclination to continue in pub
lie service at this time.
In recent years the practice OF en-
gaging men in the Government service
before they actually terminate their
period Of employment has been the sub
iect of much discussion. While it is true
that men who resign to enter private
life can not always voluntarily seek
these positions and are frequently ten
dered offers by persons with whom they
become acquainted in the conduct OF
Government business, 1t is also true
that on more than one occasion con-
gressional criticism has been visited
upon Government officers who on re-
signing Immediately appeared as attor-
neys or business representatives to prac-
tice before the very departments or bu-
reaus in which they themselves were
employed.
In some instances Congress has en-.
sons from practicing for at least two
years before the governmental bureaus
to which they had been attached.
Mr.. Coolidge has many offers under
consideration. Some, 1t is unlikely, he
will accept as for instance, writing OF
public speaking.
He means to enter the realm OF
silence with even more intensity than
has been characteristic of his admins
tration. He will try for the record Of
being the most silent" of all our eX-

ASKS LITIGATION
OF KELLOGG PACT
Capper Says Senate Should
Act on Treaty to Repu-
diate War.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, November 24.-Sen-
ator Arthur Capper of Kansas declared
last night that the Kellogg multilateral
treaty, or pact, of Paris. should receive
"the, ready ratification of the United
States Senate" He spoke at the annual
dinner conference Of the Academy OF
Political Science.
1--WE are at last upon the paths that
lead to enduring international peace"
said Mr.. Capper, adding that the Unit
ed States can and should share in this,
the greatest turning point in the history
of nations"
Asserting that the Nation ''has regis
tered its popular ratification OF the
treaty and its sincere appreciation of
Secretary Kellogg's part In this great
program" the Senator said that per-
haps the strongest popular support OF
the treaty was coming from the Middle
West.
Disagrees With Critics.
He disagreed with critics of the
treaty that "the remuneration Of war
here set forth is a mere rhetorical or
empty gesture"
ION the contrary" he said, cit is, ]
think, a most real turning point in the
fundamentals of international dealing.
The consequences will not all follow i'm
mediately upon the signature or ratifl-
cation of the treaty, but the treaty does
provide a new basis for diplomacy which
will be slowly and positively worked out
In growing atmosphere of confidence
as the world adjusts itself to the new
order of things.
"The nations at war in this indus
trial eras upon which we have only
Just entered, do not decide their issues
solely upon the battlefield as in the
past. In short, war has ceased to be
directable and controllable instru-
ment of policy and, therefore, the time
has come to renounce it as an inStru-
ment of policy by the civilized nations
Scope Of Pact Cited.
'There is embodied in this treaty the
elements of a procedure which will
warn any intending power against the
possible consequences. It does not, as
in the league, call upon the Signatories
to redress injustice, but 1t warns the
aggreSSor that the SignatorieS are free
to do so when the aggression Is estaA-
lished.
"This, I believe, is as far as the
United States need consider going al
present In the acceptance OF an inter.
national obligation for the maintenance
| Of peace"
Norman H. Davis, former Under Sec
retary Of State, asserted the treaty, al.
though it does not outlaw war, is Z
definite repudiation of the idea thai
brute force shall determine the destiny
Of mankind.
