8 Here, Mr.. Hoover paused to pay
high tribute to the chief actors In
the making Of the treaty--to his
predecessor, Calvin Coolidge, who
made a hurried trip to Washington
today to ut in at this historic
gathering, and who sat at his righl
today st the green covered C-zhsped
table; 10 Franz B. Kellogg, Secre-
tsry OF State s'noer Coolidge, who
sat at his LEFT; to Arlstide Briand,
the brilliant French Foreign
Minister who collaborated with
kellogg In the drudgery Of the
long negotiations: to Senator's
Borah H2.) OF idaho, and Swanson
D.l OF Virginia, who piloted the
treaty to ratification through
elseptical and semI.hostile Senate.
Pays Tribute to Two
.'I am glad OF this opportunity, "
said Mr., Hoover, ito pay merited
tribute to the two statesman whose
names the world has properly
adopted In its designation Of This
treaty. To Arlstide BRAND, fntn-
lister OF foreign affairs Of France,
we owe the inception Of the treaty
and to his zeal Is due a very large
share OF the success which attended
the subsequent negotiations. TO
Frank B. kellogg, then Secretary
of State, we owe its expansion to
the proportions Of q treaty open to
the entire world and destined as ]
most confidently hope, shortly 10
include among its parties every
country Of the world.
1--WE are honored here by the pres
ence Of ex.President Coolidge under
whose administration this great step
in world peace was initiated. Under
his authority and with his courage
GUS support you, Mr.. Kellogg. sue

wish to mark also the high appre-
citation in which we hold Senator
Borah and Senator Swanson Tor
their leadership during its confirna.
ton in the Senate.
May / ask. you who represent
which have accepted
this treaty, now part OF their
supreme law and their most sacred /!
obligations, to convey to them the
high appreciation OF the govern
ment Of the United States that
through their cordial collaboration
an act so suspicious for the future
Of mankind has now been
contaminated.
IT dare predict that the influence
OF the Treaty for the Remuneration
Of War win be felt In q large FRO
portion of all future international
acts. The magnificent opportunity
and the compelling duty now open
to us should spur US on to the
fulfillment of every opportunity
that is calculated to implement this
treaty and to extend the policy
which it so nobly sets forth"
Reads Proclamation

For this occasion, the great East
Room. which has seen the pageant
Of American history. was cleared OF
everything except the great table
at which the diplomats sat, and
chairs for q cluster or invited
guests, and apparatus for more
movie and still cameras than nave

washington. There were more
caneramen and reporters than
diplomats and guests, and every
kind of pictures were taken--sound
movies, plain movies, and stills.
