The hope and aim of America Is to help Europe to help itself, Presi dent Coolidge declared tonight in an address devoted to internation al relations at a golden rule din ner of the Near East Relief asso ciation. - ' !T:- f Vf- Speaking before an audience which included many members of the diplomatic corps, Mr. Coolidge outlined at some length the atti - tude of the Washington govern ment in foreign affairs, which he declared followed the golden rule. "Europe does not want our benevolence," the president said. "It does want our help, and we are ready tojgive it. America wants the peace of good will and-the golden rule; not the peace of force Imposed by those who have power. It wants peace as the normal, the right, the assured estate in a world from which a wiser genera tion shall have forever outlawed aggressive war." - h '' Charity Cited : .'j. Recalling that his country had expended millions in charitable re lief, Mr. -Coolidge called attention that it also had extended to other governments loans . and , credits "which they are beginning to re pay." . 'I; There is : a "moral obligation" to make stitch a re-payment, he added. 7. V..' The president took occasion al so to re-state that while this gov ernment has given its "general approbation" to numerous loans made by its private citizens in aid ing the re-financing of European countries, the loans wer made "without the assumption of any obligation ' whatever by out- gdv ernment." :,' J: :-: ' Going Into a detailed account of the errands of mercy by this gov ernment' In Europe and the Far East In : recent years and , to its accomplishments in stabilizing eco nomic conditions generally, the president referred to those "ex ceedingly modest souls" who: "con stantly deprecate their own as sumption that our country has done nothing for Europe." "I do not think that our country," he added, "needs to assume, any attitude of apology. I have every i respect tor the governmental and ' social' institutions of other peo- pies, but I have little sympathy with our 'fellow citizens who 'pro fess to see in them something bet ter adapted to their own needs than thosei which we have" de ' veloped ourselves and who are vaguely apologetic of the fact, that they are Americans. - Neither have I any sympathy with ! those who are unwilling or unable ' to look beyond , ouit shores and who con tent j themselves with an equally vague and unmeaning assertion of their Americanism.

The subscriptions to ; date are $163,014. .;; ;.!: Dinner will be served again to day, and all the names possible will be reported upon at that time. Definite announcement will then be made of the plans for the. mop up campaign for Sunday and Mon day, when it Is hoped that the goal may be reached: A dinner will be served Monday evening, Instead of at noon, when the reports will be turned in. j All the movie theaters of the city the Bligh, Oregon, Liberty and the Grand, if iris necessary to add a program there to care for the crowds, have given their total receipts for Monday to the YMCA cause, after previous liberal per sonal gifts. This morning an army of 200 boys and girls will canvass the city, with .tickets for the Mon day shows. . The tickets them selves were the gift of Nate El liott, and the young folks give their services as canvassers. With the children's tickets selling at 20 cents and the adults at 40 cents, a revenue of $2000 or more may be counted upon. The houses have their regular picture contracts, so that no substitution of program can be made; but the managements assure the public that the pictures will be worthy of the good cause in which they are given. I President Staley set at rest the unfounded rumor that when the new building is completed the present swimming and other privil eges will be withdrawn from the YWCA and the women and girls of Salem. The facilities will be so much better that the "Y" can and gladly will give much better ser vice for the women and girls, and this is definitely pledged it was neyer otherwise. President Staley announced. The two causes are so ! intimately, bound together in their needs and their humane as pirations that the YMCA couldn't do otherwise than work to get better things for the woman's de partment, j Excellent responses are coming in 1 from a personal appeal letter being sent out by Chairman T. A. Livesley in the name of the cam paign committee. The first re sponse, within 14 hours of the mailing, contained a 100 per cent raise; the second had as much, and a new pledge of $10 from a friend whom the committees had not seen. A generous sum Is ex pected from these letters, besides what the solicitors may find in person. Dean George Alden of Willam ette university, called upon to pray for the success of the campaign.
