PROMOTING PEACE.

POLICY OF AMERICA. COVET NO TERRITORY. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT WASHINGTON, Aug. 14. In a speech accepting the Republican nomination for the Presidency, President Coolidge reasserted his approval of the, limitation of armaments and the entry of the United States into the World Court. “America’s foreign policy is peace,” he said. “We covet no territory and support no threatening military array. We have sought, to promote peace, not only by word, but by appropriate action. We have been unwilling to surrender our independence. We refused to ratify the covenant of the League of Nations, but we have co-operated with the League to suppress the narcotic trade. We have every desire to help, but the time and the place must be left to our own determination.” President Coolidge strongly endorsed the Dawes Reparation plan, adding: “When the reparations plan is in operation I shall approach the Powers with a proposal for a conference, to discuss the further limitations of armaments and modifications of international law. I personally should favour entering covenants for the purpose of outlawing war by practicable means.”

President Coolidge praised the protective tariff as the promoter of the farmers’ and tradesmen’s prosperity and of higher standards of living. He pointedly denied that the honesty of the Government was the chief issue of the ensuing campaign, saying: “I cannot recall an administration desirous of dishonest The present Government is sound, and wrong-doers ■will be punished.”
