PRESIDENT OOOLIDGE FURTHER EXPOUNDS VIEWS. Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright. NEW YORK, December 4. President Coolidge, addressing the Commercial Club in Chicago, said: " The United States wants to see Europe raised as far as possible to American economic standards. We have attempted to perform services for the European nations because by that means in a broad way wo are serving ourselves. We want to see in their prosperity the opportunity for larger markets for our own production. We wish to help them, moreover, because it is only through service that we can develop our individual and .national lives. “It is along this course of action that ; we are most likely to contribute to those j conditions which are most effective m : maintaining universal peace, and will make the largest contribution to the advancement of human welfare. My expectation is that we may hopefully approach the other Great Powers for a further conference on this subject as soon as the cairyjng out of tile present reparations plan ps an established and settled folicy of Europe creates a favorai.de upporaiiuity J do not wish or propose to have n prbpentatives attending a conference which contemplates committments opposed to the freedom of action which we desire to maintain unimpaired. “ With regard to our purely domestic policies the publication of tax payments would be detrimental to the public welfare.

“ It is desirable.” concluded the President,’' to make a change in the Immigration Law in order to make its administrative features a little more human, permitting those already hero greater latitude in securing the admission of members of their families.” —Reuter.
