FOREIGN RELIEF POLICY TO STAND President in Address at Washington Says "Aid Eu- ^ rope to Aid Herself.'* Washington.--"The hope and aim of America is to help Europe to help Itself," President Coolidge declared In an address devoted to International relations at a Golden Rule dinner of the Near East Relief association. Speaking before an audience which included many members of the diplo malic corps, Mr. Coolidge outlined at some length the attitude of the Wash ington government In foreign affairs which he declared followed the Golden Rule. "Europe does not want oar benevolence," the President said. "It does want our help, and we Are ready to give It. America wants the peace of good will and of the Golden Rule, not the peace of force lmpossed by those who have power. It wants peace as the normal, the right, the assured es tate in a world from which a wiser generation shali have forever outlawed aggressive war." Recalling that this country had ex pended millions In charitable relief. Mr. Coolidge called attention that It also had extended to other governments loans and credits "which they are beginning to repay." There is a "moral obligation" to make such -repayments, he added. The President took occasion also to restate that while this government had given its "general approbation" to numerous loans made by its private citizens in aiding the refinancing of European countries, the loans were made "without the assumption of any obligation whatever by our government." American relief during the famine periods in Russia had prevented, he declared, the spread of bolshevism over a large proportion of Europe. But for this relief, he added, civilization, "which has been set back a generation In Russia, would have had the same setback over a half score of other countriea Pence would have been impossible." ~ "We disapprove of the Russian government," he declared, "but America has held humanity higher than International laws." 'We might have taken the attitude," he cofftinued, "that we had completed our obligation to Europe the day the armistice was signed. But the object of America in the war was greater than military victory. It was the maintenance of human institutions, reestablishment of orderly government, and preservation of civilization Itself in<. Europe. America is profoundly concerned In behalf of whatever promises to make the world a better neighborhood and its peoples better neighbors. We have no better wish than to be good and helpful neighbors with all." EDUARDO RACEDO Heroic Woman Is Dead;- Gave Blood to Save Child San Bernardino, Cal.--Mrs. T. H.
