BU5INES MEN HEAR VIEWS OF PRESIDENT No Federal Interference a Long at Laws Are Complied With. O. K.'S WORLD COURT Coolidge Opposes Loans to Foreign Countries When Intended for War Preparedness. . ' " NEW YORK. Nov. 20. Inter preting his attitude toward busi ness. President Coolidge in an address toniftht' at the annual ban quet of the New York State Cham lier of Commerce, appealed for a better and more sympathetic un derstanding by the government of tbe commercial world's problems and by business men of the af fairs of government. "When government enters the field of business with its great resources, 'he said, "it has a ten dency to extravagance and ineffi ciency, but having the power to i crush all competitors, likewise closes the door of opportunity and results in monopoly." During his speech the President reiterated his belief that there must be continued effort toward government economy and effici ency with resulting tax reduction: expressed the view that no perma nent atabilization of European finances and currency can be ac complished without a definite ad justment of the debts owed by .various nations abroad to the United States, and advocated anew American adhesion to the World .Court protocol. When lNstance Handicap. Declaring that the American forefathers were wise In making Washington the political center of the nation, leaving New York to develop as the business metro polis. Mr. Coolidge said that this arrangement, however, had re sulted in one important disad vantage "the possibility that otherwise business and govern ment might have had a better un derstanding .of each other and been less likely to develop mutual misapprehensions and suspicions." "If a contest could be held to determine bow much those who are really prominent in our gov ernment life know about business and how much those who are really prominent In our business life know about government," con tinued the President) "it Is my firm conviction that the prise would be awarded to those who are in government life. This Is as It ought to be, for those who have the greater authority ought to have the greater knowledge. "But it Is my even firmer con viction that the welfare of our country could be very much ad vanced through a better knowl edge by both of those parties of the multifold problems with which each has to deal." Emphasizing the "desirability of the largest possible independ ence between government and " business," the Executive expressed the opinion that "each ought to be sovereign In Its own sphere." When government comes unduly under the Influence of bnsiness, he addded, the tendency Is to de velop an administration which "closes the door of opportunity; becomes narrow and selfish in its outlook, and results In an olig archy." government Friend of Business. The American policy toward business, Mr. Coolidge asserted, has been to cherish the general structure of business while hold ing its avenues open to the widest competition so its opportunities and benefits might be given the broadest possible participation. "While It Is true that tbe gov ernment ought not to be and Is not committed to certain methods of acquisition which, while par taking of the nature of unfair practices try to masquerade under the guise of business, "he added, "the government is and ought to be thoroughly committed to every endeavor of production and distri bution which Is entitled to be de signated as true bntiness. Those who are so engaged, instead of regarding the government as their opponent and enemy, ought to re gard it as their vigilant supporter and frlend." ' Oppose Military 1oans. In hi discussion of the foreign debt problem, the President reaf firmed his conviction that loans should not be made by the United States or by American bankers, ' when the money advanced is used for maintenance of great armies and navies. -"Loans," ho continued, "when nsed in ways that are not produc tive, liko the maintenance of (Continued on page 1.)

' Fruit and vegetable shippers of the Paciric coast made an excel lent showing at the freight rate hearing at San Francisco, accord ing to Foster Butner of the Ump qua Broccoli Exchange, who re turned home yesterday evening. "The hearings began Monday be fore the Interstate Commerce Commission." - Mr. Butner said, "there being probably 400 men assembled in tbe colonial room of the Hotel St- Francis. Idaho, Ore gon, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Wash ington and California were repre sented by the publio service com missions of those a tales. Long tables were provided ta order that the various interesta might be seg regated. Two tables were lined on each side with representatives of the state commissions. One was fort)fled with various independ ent shippers and another by legal talent and witnesses for the rail roads. Interested spectators occu pied the remainder or the room. ''California was first to testify. The organised fruit shippers made a valiant fight to sho wthe disas trous condition of the fruit indus try, brought about by large pro duction, low ' market prices and high freight rates. These shippers are asking reduction of 29 cents per 100 pounds in freight rates. The present transcontinental, rate Is St.73 per 100 pounds. "Following California, Idaho presested her case, showing a very bad financial condition with many farmers bankrupt and farms being sold on foreclosure. "Oregon come next.
