President Coolidge Out lines Policy of Western
 Hemisphere Nations
MUST BAND TOGETHER FOR PEACE PURSUITS
Charges All with Sacred Trust of Expending
 Spirit of Democracy

HAVANA, Cuba. Jan. 16-In a speech keyed to the note of inter. national confidence. helpfulness and goodwill, President Coolidge opened the sixth Pan-American Congress here today by urging the nations of the western hemi- sphere to join in the task of as. surfing to all it's people the fres- dom that Columbus bequeathed to them in equal measure.
 Journeying outside of his home. land for the first time since he became President, MT. Coolidge spoke to the distinguished gather ing not as the head of a pre- em. inently powerful country, hut as the spokesman of a nation on an equal plane with her sister Repub. lies, trying to find the way to a peaceful solution of whatever problems beset their quest for comrlete understanding and. ftsu4uship. VT
 No AntagonIsm
 Without mentioning the Leagus of Nations or the Monroe Doctrine the President assured the Con gross that the Pan-Ameriean Union involves no antagonism toward any section of the world or any other organization" but at the same time declared that the nations of the Western Hemi- sphere are committed to the prin- ciple that they are better fitted to govern themselves than any one else Is to govern them"
 With what appeared to be al- most studied intent. Mir. Coolidge refrained from letting any phrases creep into his address that mig.l. present a picture of the United States as dominating the political, social and economic development of the American Republics. The name of the United States was not once mentioned by the Presi- dent except to give the assurance that his government was prepared to encourage the development of shipping. air lines, highways and all pursuits of peace that migat bring the various units of tho American family of States into closa- and more permanent har- mony.

 He declared there was no inte1- ton in this hemisphere of any na- tion building up great military establishment to oyer-awe or sub. jugate it's neighbors, and enunci. ated the doctrine that all nations of this hemisphere are determined to adjust their differences mot by resort to force but by ths application of the principles of justice and equity"

held at University Farm, st. Paul,

ties represented, some by one and
some by two representatives, besides
the five master homemakers who each
represented her county.

cess, there must be a good program
and method of work well understood,
backed by Well-OrganiZed farm WOm-

more effective than many favoring it,
