President Coolidge seeks funds for disarmament conference
President Coolidge sent a special message to Congress urging a $50,000 appropriation to cover American delegation expenses for the League of Nations called preliminary disarmament conference. The House Foreign Affairs Committee quickly adopted the spending resolution and rejected an amendment to push a resolution against nations that wage aggressive wars. The President cautioned that participation in the preparatory commission does not commit the nation to any future conference and cannot define its agenda in advance.
