Pres Coolidge Addresses Women’s Defense Delegates
Washington Feb 23 President Coolidge told delegates at the women’s conference on national defense that progress toward peaceful settlement of international differences will enable nations to reduce armaments as law and security expand. He urged moderation in armament and urged all nations to adopt similar policies to share in universal peace under the law. He said true peace comes from law order security and honor and noted that while wars persist a broad commitment to preventing war under an effective rule of law is growing. He added national safety requires preparedness within limits to deter aggression without embracing militarism. If all nations limit armaments accordingly costs would fall and human welfare rise.
