COOLIDGE IS AGAINST

Former President Believes Great Force Men
 aces Peace

PHILADELPHIA. April 30.-For- mer President Calvin Coolidge in an article in the Ladies Home Journal says men will not long recognize the sword as the major source of authority which has been an evil in the world. Armies and navies are required for do- mestic and international police service, but peace can never be permanent through fear alone. We must have foundation in justice and 8 strong will to satisfy req son end conscience. Humanity's hope of gaining absolute security is delusion. No nation could ever say that it's army and navy made it perfectly secure. There are too many other people with them. More security can be found in moderate force that menaces nobody than in great force that menaces everybody"

COL. EIELS0N GREETED BY
 LEGISLATORS
Joint Session Held in Hon. or of Blazer of Trails
 of Skies

Col. Carl B. Eielson, introduced by Speaker Rothenburg as "the man who blazed the trails of the skies of the Territory of Alaska, !" was today formally greeted by the Alaska Legislature, meeting in joint session in the hall Of the House of Representatives He was en- Enthusiastically acclaimed by Legis- lators and spectators who filled the balconies as he was escorted to a place on the Speakers rostrum by Senator E. N. Sundquist and Rep resentative Alfred J. Lomen.
 Just preceding his presentation by the Speaker, A. J. Dimond read the resolution recently passed by the Legislature praising Col Eiel- sons pioneer flights in the Terri tory and his later feats in aviation, including a flight from Point Bar row to Spitzbergen across the North Pole with Capt. Sir Hubert Will kins.
 Moving Picture
 Flying over Alaskan mountains, plains and wildernesses and across Polar wastes, declared Col, Eielson, referring to some of his air jour neyings, is like viewing a moving picture. The pilot sits in comfort and sees unrolled beneath him the trails, river and wastelands over which other men have passed and viewed lands they have conquered at the cost of untold work and hardships. "All I did was to see the country over which the pio- neers and explorers have passed, ? he said.
 It is one year and one week, he recalled, since he was in Alaska. Since Shat sitne he has spanned the Arctic region from Point Bar row to Spitzbergen, for which he received the Harmon trophy sig nalizing the outstanding aviation feat for last year; visited eight European countries, spanned the United States, visiting in 38 States, covered South America and flown over the Antarctic.
 Compliments Legislature
 Col Eielson complimented the Legislature on it's airmindedness. No State, he said, could show such a record as Alaska's in the con- struction of some 50 airplane land- ing fields. He said the passage of the bill re-enacting Federal aircraft laws and making effective Depart ment of Commerce aerial regula- tions was a wise move, one that would aid in development of aerial navigation here.
 Referring to his personal plans, Col. Eielson said he expected to be in the Territory just now for a week or ten days, returning then to the States. However, he added, that he hoped in a short time to return to Alaska, going to Fair banks, where I'll unpack my grip and see what's in the bottom of it, hang up my coat, and remain permanently"

L. L. Drill, United States attor-

use it."
Drill said that in the prosecu-
ton before the federal courts of
liquor cases 81 will be guided al
most entirely by the facts as pre-
scented to me by the prohibition
department.
