PRESIDENT COOLIDGE SHOCKS EUROPE
EVERYTHING is relative. If the Armistice )y speech lmd
licen flelivereil by tlie lute President Konsovclt, for ex
niiil, it would Imve scarcely provided Eiirnppim sensation.
Fop tile diplomats abroad were accustomed to niHspnken iiller
anees from T. II., mid certain all'manccs were made iicconl-
lint comma frrin tin- supposedly taciturn and cautions C;il
(6o!viii, this speech dropped like a lioinli-shcll in tin foreign offices1
t'oo 1 ahroiid, and rcverliernliijiis from it have not died down vet.
i i. ... -i ..... ' , .
ii was in no si'iwe an iniiamiiuiiory speecn, inn u was earn;
and outspoken. It was a vigorous defense of what Kuropean
. diplomats have eondciuneil as
it ion. president ('onliilun explained why the I'nited States does
not care for eiitailtfliiifr alliances
I attitude toward hnrope.
The reactions from London,
I press, were nine kiioi-i 01 Deiiicprent. Ijonl IlirKenlicad is re
I ported to have termed the address " IVcksiiifl'ian cuff." Down
lino; Street maintained a chilly silence, while Korean Minister
j Austen Chainhcrlain, en route home from Canada, was content
! with declaring he saw no reason for trouble hehvecn Kiifrland
i and the I'nited Stales.
j' There is none. And lifter re-rcadint; the President's address,
: we fail to find any cause for the excitement ahroad. The onlv
explanation, to our mind, is that Europe had come to ox pud
only silence or Hoothint,' generalities from President Coolidco,
and when he dropped this role, and assumed the role of frank
ness mid genuine leadership, the conventional and unimai;ina
tive diplomats were incapable of adjusting themselves to ir, and,
in n child-like spirit of panic, lost their various and sundry
! tempers.
ANOTHER COOLIDGE MYTH
PROHAlLY when t ho history tif this pp(ch is written, nnd n
proper perspective nttniiied, tiiis onthurst from nhroml will
iippein even mnri! Kurpi'isi nr.
For we heJieve it will then he renlizetl that, with atl his
New Kntflmirt restraint mid JYeedoni J'miii blulT and hlnster,
Iresident Coolide is fur Irom hein; 1he timid and cautious
man that most of the newspaper correspondents have painted
him.
Certainly it took courage to veto the Soldiers' Jlonus; and,
on the eve of a Presidential election, the McXarv-lhuijjpn hill.
While in our foreij;!! relations, no President in our history could
have acted with more dispatch and vior than President Cool
id(re, when informed of the recent, secret, treaty between idiK
1 11 ii 1 mid I'Ynnce.
The details of the diplomatic exchanges which resulted in
the repudiation of this "arranoemcnt" have nol been made
public, but. when they are we believo Ihere will be no doubt
lliat, in his own way and in his own lime, the President who
did "not choose to run" can hit out from the shoulder as well
:is the next mini.
Tlianks In this firm, niicoinpromisin,!; 'attitude at Washing
Ion, fireiit 'Britain lias apologized in ,a "while paper" and
Franco in a blue one. An "tirriinnement " which would have
reduced the disarmament treaty of the 1 lurd inr atlminislraliou
to a "scrap of paper" and (iiven France a free hand to become
the miliatry dictator of Kuropcv has been denounced and abso.
lutely abandoned.
Probably this diplomatic defeat suffered by Fncland and
France contributed lo the resentment voiced ajjainst the radio
speech from Washiiinloii the nij-dit of November 11th. But the
main cause was undoubtedly the fact that the "Kinliliii"; Cal
vin" that hail always remained in the background, came out
for tho first timefront since. ,

Some lour and twenty thlrs'y
men went to an eastern buozing
ken and lapped up bowls of
deadly gin, and when they
stowed the stuff within, they
went off to their divers homes
with no torcbodUig"- in their
domes that they would never
drink again, in any joint or
boozing ken, that there in no
illicit rum. Hut in a few brief
hours they all were dead from
poison alcohol. Men read tho
.story us they chewed their
breakfast prunes and other foo l
and said, "Tho guys who sell
such rot should all be taken
out- and shot. The skates who
make such liquid doom should
all be hurried to tho tomb."

dreadful tales; the bootleg ven

as much na those who sold
the drinks. All men must know
that 'when they buy and dtin't

a million times against the
hooch purveyor's crimes; they

stricken blind if they persist in

legal holes. If one bootlegger
will not sell, they know another
passing well; they're bound to
