GIVES ADDRESS AT CONVENTION OF YETERANS AT OMAHA NEBRASKA

Does Not Believe Expenditure of Huge - Sums Would Insure Lasting Uni. versal Peace

President Coolidge addressing -thé American Legion convention at Omaha Nebraska Tuesday declared that the result of the World War will be lost and the nations of the world will prepare for another conflict unless racial antagonisms are demobilized and a universal attitude of toleration iy created. s . i ,

.“If our country is to have any position of leadership,” he added, *I trust it may be in that direction and I believe that the place where it should begin is at home. '

_Asserting that no nation ever had or ever will have an army - large ehough to guarantee it agaiffst at-

tack in time of peace or to insure its victory in war, the President s'aid’ that ‘“peace and security: are- more likely to result from fair and honorable dealings and mutual agreements for a limitation of armaments ainong the nations than by all)"utu—-mpt at competition in squadrons and battalions.” . . P :

“No doubt -this country,” 'he continued ‘“could if it wished to spend more money make a better military force but that is only part of the problem that confronts the government. The real question is whethar spending more money to make & better military férce would really make a better country. ‘ “I would be the: last to disparage the military art, It is an honorabld and patriotic calling of tlie highest rank. But I can see no merit in auy unnecessary expenditure of money to hire men to build fleets and carry muskets when international relations and agreements permit the turning of such resources into the making of good roads, the building of better homes, the promotion of edacalion and all the other arts of peace which minister to the advancement of human welfare.”” Avoiding direct .‘Teference to any specific situation Mr. Coolidge expressed the opinion that military power should be subordinated to and governed by civil authority and continued: - “It is for this reason that any organization of men in the military service bent on inflaming the pub]i(T mind for the purpose of forcing government action through the pressur: of public opinion is an exceedingly dangerous underfaking and precedent This is so whatever for it might take whether it be for the purpose of in. fluencing the exXecutive, the legislature or the heads of departments. “It is for the civil anthority to determine what appropriations shall be granted, what appointments shall be -made, and what rules shall be adopted for the conduct of its armed forces, Whenever the military power starts dictating to the civil authority by whatsoever means adopted the liberities of the country are beginning to end. National defense should at all times be supported b¥t any form of militarism should be resisted.” Advocating a selective service act which would authorize broad mobilization in emergencies of all thg ‘country’s resources both persons and materials the President declared thaf in time of war power should bdg lodged somewhere for the stablization of prices ‘a‘s far as that might be possible in justice to the country and its defenders.” “But it will always be impossible to harmonize justice d4nd war,” he continued, “It is always possible to purchase materials with money, but patriotism can not be purchased. Unless the people are willing tc defend their courntry because of their belief in it because of their affec tion for it and because it is representative of their home their country can not be defended. : “If we are looking for more complete reign of justice, a more ‘coms plete supremacy or law a more com: plete social harmony we must seek it in the paths of peace. Progress in these directions wunder the present order of the world is not likely to be, made except during a state of domestic and international tranquility One of the great questions before the nations today is how to promotd ‘such tranquility.” ‘ Declaring that one of the most natural reactions during the war was intolerence the necessity for a common purpose and a united intellectul fromt becoming paramount, Mr. Coolidge said that when the need fo| such solidarity is past there should vbe a “quick and generous readiness tc revert to the old and mora] habity of thought.” o - :
