Wants Opportunity for all, No Goverment Monoplies, Independent
But Helpful Foreign Policy.
Washington, Aug. 14.— No single
question vital to the people of the
United States was dodged by Presi­
dent Coolidge In the first great speech
of the political campaign— his speech
accepting the nomination as President
offered him by the Republican party,
and delivered in Washington the eve­
ning of A ugust 14.
A fter outlining the sound foundation
of the party system of government,
the President said : “ Party means po­
litical co-operation, not as an end in
itself, but a means, an instrument of
government. I f founded upon a great
moral principle and directed with
scrupulous regard for Its Integrity, it
cannot fail to sweep onward and up­
ward, advancing alw ays steadily and
surely, a mighty constructive force, a
glorious bearer of progress.
“T h at Is what the Republican party
alw ays has been and is today. In full
faith that such it will continue to be,
deeply conscious of the high honor it
confers and the responsibility It im­
poses, I accept its nomination for
President of the United States.
“In the history of our country is re­
corded the public services rendered by
our party for more than the three­
score years. T h a t Is secure. I pass
on to the recent past and the present.”
Progres* of Four Years.
T h e President pointed out the con­
dition of the nation in March, 1921,
when the Republicans resumed the
reins of government after a lapse of
eight years. Though more than two
years had passed since the armistice,
the nation was still technically In a
state of war. No diplomatic relations
existed with Turkey, Greece, Russia,
Colombia or Mexico, the E a r E ast
situation
caused
“grave *
■apprehen­
sions.” B ecause of the war, “a reck­
less extravagance had come to char­
acterize the administration of public
affairs and w as all too prevalent In
private life.” T h e national debt had
risen to the staggering total of $24,000.000,000, more than $7,000,000,000
of It In short-time obligations without
provision for payment.
Government
bonds were below par. High w ar taxes
burdened the people. Demobilization
and liquidation were incomplete. Huge
railroad accounts remained unsettled.
Transportation
was
crippled.
Un­
liquidated foreign debts amounted to
$11,000,000,000. Banks were filled with
frozen assets. Interest was high, capi­
tal scarce, and financial distress acute.
About 5,000,000 were without employ­
ment. No adequate provision had been
made for relieving disabled veterans
and their dependents. T h e great pow­
ers continued to burden their peoples
b y building com petitive armaments.
An avalanche of war-worn people and
cheapened
merchandise
impended
upon America from foreign lands, the
President pointed out.
Turning to the settlem ent of these
vast problems since the start of the
Republican
regime,
the
President
pointed out that treaties of world-wide
Importance have been ratified with
Germany, Austria, Hungary, Colombia
and Mexico, that 42 other treaties
have met with the approval of the sen­
ate, while 6 still aw ait action. Friend­
ly intercourse with Greece and T urkey
has been resumed. Peace and Ameri­
can rights have been assured in the
F a r E a st and the Pacific.
T urning to finance, the President
called attention to the enactment of
the budget system, and the resultant
tremendous savings.
“For the fiscal year ending June 30,
1921,” President Coolidge said, “our
expenditures were $5,538,000,000 and
our surplus was $86,000,000. For the
year ju st closed our expenditures were
$3,497,000,000, and our surplus exceed­
ed $500,000,000. T h is was a reduction
in the annual cost of government of
$2,041,000,000.
T h e public debt now
stands a t about $21,250,000,000, which
is a reduction in three years o f about
$2,750,000,000 and means an annual
saving In interest of more than $120,000,000. T h e $7,000,000,000 of shorttime obligations have all been quietly
refunded or paid. T h e internal reve­
nue taxes have been reduced twice,
and m any o f them repealed, so that
during the present fiscal year the tax
receipts show a saving to the people
of approxim ately $6,000,000 a day com­
pared with 1921. One government
bond has sold well over 105."
T he President pointed out that more
than 40 per cent of the debt due us
from foreign nations has been liquidat­
ed, providing funds for liquidating
about $13,000,000,000 of the national
debt during a 62-year term.
“T h e finances of this nation have
been managed with a genius and a
success unmatched since the days of
Hamilton,” Mr. Coolidge declared.
“A great revival of industry took
place, which is spreading to agricul­
ture. Complaint of unemployment has
ceased, wages have increased.
Cap­
ital has become plentiful at a low rate
of interest,” Mr. Coolidge declared,
“and the banks of our country, as a
whole, show a high percentage of
liquid assets.”
Speaking of the generous laws
passed to relieve disabled veterans,
the President said that more tliun 71,060 have been rehabilitated, 38,000 of
whom are earning more than they did
before the war. Compensation Is be­
I ing paid at the rate of about $100,000,000 a year, soon to be increased
by $30,000,000 more, $40,000,000 liave
been provided for hospital facilities,
which are open to veterans of all

“No government,” the ‘President de­
clared, "ever provided so generously
for those disabled by service in time
of war.”
Touching the exclusion law and re­
stricted immigration generally, the
President said : “Restricted immigra­
tion is not an offensive but a purely
defensive action. It is not adopted In
criticism of others in the slightest
degree, but solely for the purpose of
protecting ourselves. W e cast no as­
persions on any race or creed, but we
must remember that e v e r/ object of
our institutions of society and gov­
ernment will fail unless America be
kent A m e ric a n .”

COOLIDGE ACCEPTS
WITHICOMFIDENCE
i S M O K E S a
N ext the President dealt with tlie
tariff.
“B y means of a protective
tariff,” he said, “ we have saved Amer­
ican agriculture, labor, and Industry
from the menace of having their great
home market destroyed through the
dumping upon it of a flood of foreign
products. Under this wise policy we
saw an economic revival, and our peo­
ple as a whole, In marked distinction
from the sufferers from the financial
distress
and
depression
of
other
lands, have come Into an era of pros­
perity and plenty. A s a source of rev­
enue the tariff surpassed all expecta­
tions in producing an annual return
of the unprecedented sum of about
$530,(MX),000.
A fiscal policy which
places a large and much needed rev­
enue In the public treasury, while
stimulating business to a condition of
abounding prosperity, defends itself
against any criticism. Its merits are
demonstrated by its results. W e have
protected our own inhabitants from
the economic disaster 'of an invasion
of too many foreign people or too
much foreign merchandise.”

The Washington Conference,
N ext the acceptance speech dealt
with
the
Washington
conference
whereby an end was put to the ruin­
ous competitive naval armaments of
world powers,
the
importance of
which has never been fully realized by
tlie people in general, Mr. Coolidge
declared.
Turning to the “honest government”
Issue, President Coolidge pointed out
bluntly that In all Ills studies of politi­
cal history he could not re c a ll an adminisration which was desirous of a
dishonest government that, to check
extravagance, introduced a budget sys­
tem, cut taxes, purged pay rolls, made
enormous reductions in the public debt
and laid firmer foundations for the
peace of the world.
President Coolidge declared he fa ­
vored the system of private American
enterprise and was opposed to the ex­
tension of government ownership and
control; that he believed in economy
In public expenditures and the practi­
cal application of the teliory; that he
believed In tax reduction and tax re­
form ; that he favored protection.
Favors Permanent Court.
"I favor the permanent court and
further limitation of armaments,” the
President said. “I am opposed to ag­
gressive war. I shall avoid Involving
ourselves In the political controversies
of Europe, but I shall do wliat I can to
encourage American citizens and re­
sources to assist In restoring Europe,
with the sym pathetic support of our
government. I want agriculture and
Industry on a sound basis of prosperity
and equality. I shall continue to strive
for the economic, moral a n d spiritual
welfare of my country. American citi­
zens will decide in the coming election
whether these principles shall have
their approval and support. »>
“The domestic affairs of our country
appear to me to be by far the chief
concern. From this source comes our
strength. T h e home market consumes
nearly all our production. Within our
own boundaries will be determined to
a very large degree the economic wel­
fare and the moral worth of the Ameri­
can people. These are plain facts, but
there are others equally plain.”
Reaffirming his opposition to en­
trance into the League of Nations as a
surrender of independence, the Presidena favored becoming a member of
the permanent Court of International
Justice, “ as peace means fundamental­
ly a reign of law.” Entrance into the
so-called World court “ would do much
to indicate our determination to re­
strain the rule of force and solidify
and sustain the rule of reason among
nations,” Mr. Coolidge said.

America Helps Europe.
T h e President reviewed the difficul­
ties of Europe and the unavailing ef­
forts to find a w ay out until the Amer­
ican plan, proposed In 1922, was finally
adopted, under which the reparations
commission appointed a committee of
experts, whose three American mem­
bers included Gen. Charles G. Dawes,
the President's running mate on the
Republican ticket.
The appointment
of General D aw es as chairman and
the report which has met world-wide
approbation were pointed out.
W hen the reparations plan is in op­
eration, the President said, he would
consider it time to approach the great
powers with tlie proposal for another
conference to lim it armaments still
further and devise plans for the codi­
fication of international law.
“I trust that never again will the
women of this nation be called on to
sacrifice tlieir loved ones to the ter­
rible scourge of war,” President Cool­
idge said.
Touching Latin America, the Presi­
dent said that we have constantly
striven to come to more complete un­
derstandings with those nations. He
recited the help given Mexico to avert
domestic violence there, and the Indi­
cation of a policy of making it worth
ivhile for a government to conduct iti self so as to merit recognition. He
I pointed to the written agreement with
Mexico to negotiate a treaty of amity
| and commerce such as has not been in
existence since 1881.
Equal Opportunities for AM.
O f discrimination of all kinds, Presi­
dent Coolidge said: “This is one coun­
tr y ; we are one people united by com­
mon interests. There should be no fa ­
vorites and no ou tca sts; no race or re­
ligious prejudices in the government.
America opposes special privilege for
anybody, and favors equal opportunity
for everybody. It has adopted these
conclusions because they are the logi­
cal conclusions of our ideals of free­
dom. Moreover, we believe they con­
tribute to our material welfare. We
oppose the artificial supports of privi­
lege and monopoly because they are
both unjust and uneconomic. T hey
are not right. T hey do not work.”
