In a Bpeech SnCil? .the wole 80016 fron 'ho Saklatvala exclusion case to the Locarno security treaties. Using a meeting of the council or foreign relations as his forun, the secretary addressed these pro nouncements to American citizens ana to foreign chancellories: ' A-warning to American bankers against "Indiscriminate'" loans to German states and municipalities, although the state department "has not felt Itself called upon to ob Ject - to such loans as against the public Interest." - Co-operation Is Desired Reaffirmation of the govern ment's desire to co-operate In European rehabilitation but keep clear of European politics. A declaration that he set as much store "by .the spirit of Lo carno as upon the treaties of Lo carno." . An expressfoni of a hope that China will realize her aspirations for freedom from unequal treaties An exposition and reiteration of the American war debt funding policy. A defense of his own action In excluding aliens who desire "to teach their pernicious doctrines of communism" . in this country Mr. Kellog npoke from a care fully -prepared manuscript with every evidence of consciousness that his words would . bo heard arbund the world. It was dis closed that the address was re garded as -of such importance that the section dealing with foreign debts and that touching -upon tho American attitude, toward Euro-' pean cpnrerences, although It con tained no direct reference to tho disarmament movement, had been cabled in full by 'the state depart ment to American diplomatic mis sions In Europe. Political Matters . Avoided The chief distinction of Ameri can policy, and that least under stood abroad, the secretary said, was "the fixed determination to avoid participation In purely Euro pean political matters. . "Not since 1798 has the United States been a party to any mili tary alliance." he said. "We shall go to the very limit of reasonable co-operation for all legitimate pur poses but we will not under any circumstances commit ourselves to the European system of alliances and counter alliances to maintain .the balance of power upon that continent. . . It is doubtful it they have ever contributed to tho maintenance of peace."- Declaring that Europe herself was making a sincere effort to tree herself of the old balance ot power system. Mr. Kellog de scribed the Locarno conference as an "outstanding accomplishment. . . . conceived in the spirit ot uniting European nations in n common pact of security." Amer ica was "held aloof" from the Lo oarno gathering, he said, becauso it dealt with purely European poll, tfcal questions and "there was no reason to invite the United States to attend." No people were moro gratified at the result than tho American people, he added. . ' oebt situation Discussed Turning to debt settlements. Mr. Kellogg said ho resented sugges tions that terms had beon harsh, or had failed to recognize the vast war losses. "We have gone just as fnr as wo possibly could In recognition of ex traordinary, conditions," he said. "We have not hurried anybody. ' Tho secretary said ho believed the "main foreign governments" separated had como to the Ameri can viewpoint that debt settle ments were evidently necessary "If Europe was to bo rehabilitated" economically. Prfvate American loans to for eign governments or individuals, Mr. Kellog said, had "been objected to In the case of countries which had not settled their war debts, and where the money was to bo used "for armaments and the monopolization of products con sumed In the United States." At no time, ho said, had tho govornniont undertaken to pass upon tho busi ness or financial merit of any loan. - Foreign IoatiH Discussed As to loans to German states and municipalities, he said, "It was bollevcd" these might not ho fa- -vored by tho German government and might "raiso tho question of transfer of funds sufflclont to pay the principal or Interest on such bonds," Amorican hankors, ho ad ded, should consider "to what ex tent state and municipal loans, should be made," slnco all repara tions paid Into the relchsbank "must be transferred with the con- . sent of tho transfor committee" and tho bankers havo been advised they should consider "whether such loans were for produotlvo purposes which would aid In pro curing funds for transfer," In reply to critics of his policy In denying passport visas in cer tain cases not specified In his re-, marks, Mr. Kellog declared that "the law has specified what classes shall be excluded and, until It Is '.(.Continued pa fg 3, coWma U (Continued n W " l""lto 4, column 0)
