President Coolidge seeks aid for disarmament talks
RESIDENT COOLIDGE sent a special message to congress announcing the government's plans for participation in the preliminary disarmament conference called by the League of Nations and asking for an appropriation of $50,000 to defray the expenses of the American delegation. The house foreign affairs committee adopted a resolution authorizing this expenditure and rejected an amendment to instruct the American delegates to present a resolution to outlaw nations that start wars of aggression. In his message the President said participation in the work of the preparatory commission involves no commitment regarding attendance at future conferences and that the government's attitude cannot be defined in advance of such meetings.
