COOLI DGEfS ADDRESS
"Hi re stands our country, an ex
ample of tranquility at home, a pa
tron of tranquility abroad. Here
stands its government, aware of its
might but obedient to its consci
ence,” said President Coolidge in his
first inaugural address. It was typ
ical of Coolidge, as was the entire
speech—the product of a seasoned
leader, not easily veered from a
course of an even keel, well thought
out and well wrought out.
The president’s address was not
long, and, differing from those of
some of his predecessors of oilier
days it did not take up iu elaborate
detail the various problems of the
lepariments of governin' r;. Presi
lent Coolidge hit the high spots.
Probably one reason was that there j
is no outstanding depai tinental prob-1
lent or internal issue facing the gov
ernment other than those touched
upon. The president sought to leave
a few conspicuous suggestions in the
hope that they might leave a mor ■
lasting impression upon his hearers
than to deal in detail with problems
that can be left to advantage for
later treatment.
President Coolidge’s heart is still
for the world court, as it is popular
ly termed, and this issue probably
will be raised in tlie new congress.
He makes his position clear that
this does not mean involvement in
European affairs and that the United
States will not become mixed up in
problems exclusively European. What
he wants his country to do is to
array itself on the side of justice
as an effective means of presenting
future wars.
It was noteworthy that the presi
dent, for the first time, give indi
rect approval of the policy of weed

ing out of the republican party the
disloyal elements. There is no sal
vation in narrow or bigoted partisan
ship, he says, but if there is to be
responsible party government, “the
party label must be more than a
mere device for securing office.” The
president takes the view that the
party in power has received a clear
mandate from the people and he
makes it plain by implication that
he intends that party pledges shall
be kept. He is ready to cooperate
with Congress-, which he praises as
an effective branch of the govern
ment—the most effective and inde
dependent legislative body in the
world—but one derives from his mes
sage the implication that he intends
to use his own position of leader
ship to the best of his ability in
carrying out the people’s mandate
and that he expects cooperation
from congress.
His appeal for economy and for
reduction of taxes is an echo of
what lie has said before, and prob
ably we shall hear something fur
ther from him soon on the sugges
tion regarding surtaxes. He favors
conservation of our natural resourc
es, takes an indirect thrust at viola
tors of the prohibition amendment—
without mentioning it specifically—
by saying that all who flout the con
stitution are treading the way that
leads back to the jungle.
The president sees a reign of
prosperity and is resolved to do
whatever is within his power to con
tinue it. Peace at home and abroad,
through the common sanctions of
civilized people; good government
thru the will of the majority, true
Americanism, a free-minded country,
an advancing nation—these are the
president’s hopes 'and aspirations as
lie starts what promises to be a no
table administration.
FRANCE IS AROUSED BY
SOVIET PERFIDY.
One of the soundest arguments
against the persistent propaganda
for tae recognition of soviet Hus-'
s:a by the United States is 0 at rec
ognition would open the gates of
our country io the communistic press
agents working under diplomatic im
muni.v. In return for this, the
United States would ga'o tic reat
benefit, ii the experience of otlur
powers may be cited as a criterion.
Great Britain recognized Russia and
it was not long before the propagan
da mill of Moscow, operated by M.
Zinoviev, president of the Communis
tic Internationale, was at work in
England, openly appealing to the
army and navy to revolt. That in
cident, the authenticity of which is
not doubted in England, was an im
portant factor in the overthrow of
the Macdonald government. Now
France, which recently recognized
Russia, is stirred over the publica
tion of a letter in La Liberta an
nouncing that 1,500,000 francs had
been dispatched to the French col
onies in Northern Africa for organ
izing revolts. Zineviev is the alleg
ed author of the epistle. It is not
surprising that French opinion is
aroused by the incident for France,
like Great Britain, demanded hs a
condition of recognition that the so
viets should not interfere in French
internal affairs.
* BROOKHART’S STATE TURNS
AGAINST HIM
One of the meekest senators in
Washington today is a man who has
been one of the most vocal during
the past six years. His name is
Brookhart and he hails from Iowa,
Brookhart was tamed by the voters
of Iowa last fall, receiving a dubious
plurality of only about 700 votes,
while President Coolidge and other
republicans swept the state. Brook
hart adopted the familiar device of
running on the republicans in the
senate. He went even farther. He
demanded that Dawes’ name be re
moved from the vice presidential
ticket and announced that he was not
a “Coolidge republican.” Now he
not only faces a contest which, if
precedent is followed, will result in
his defeat in the senate next Decem
ber, but he faces a demand from his
party in Iowa that his seat be de
clared vacant because he received
his election by “fraud and deceit.”
His case is important because it
may have the effect of restoring
something of party responsibility in
government. At any rate, it will
draw the public’s attention to a con
dition that existed in American poli

WASHINGTON, D. CL, Mar. 16 —
The outlook for a reduction of three
hundred millions in the nation’s taxes
