urgent majoi.liy report of a spe- I
del house committee.
Concurred, in by tho three Dem

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
