In Letter President Rebukes Pacifists for Their Opposition to Movement-for Preparedness antj Peace Condemnation of Purpose in Observing September 12 Is Resented by Executive's Letter Giving His Policy WASHINGTON, July 26. Branding ns "unfair and misleading" the methods being employed by certain pacifists organizations in opposing Defense Day, September 12, President Coolidge today rebuked the National Council for Prevention pf War for Its opposition to National preparedness.

In a letter to Frederick J. Libboy, executive secretary of the organiza tion, me resiueiu said, commenting on the war department's plan In setting aside a day for the observance of national defenses that he was" unqualifiedly sympathetic with the aim and purpose to make war, so nearly as might be, an Impossibility in this world" hut ithat he could not "detect any inconsistency in giving my approval to the program of defense day.

The defense test seems to me a means to assure the fullest efficiency to the extremelv modest I defense force our country main tains.

"Instead of being a military gesture, this plan is the exact opposite. It is a non-military gesture for the purpose of keeping down to Its lowest point the professional military organization of the United States. "It seems unfair that the plans for defense should be condemned out of hand, simply through the device of misrepresentation." CALIFS ATTENTION TO ENDORSEMENT. The President's letter fated July I 2.1, follows: "My Dear Mr. Llbby: "Some days ago I received from yourself, as executive secretary of the National Council for Prevention of War, Informing me that that organization 'is preparing for a campaign in behalf of world cooperation for peace to begin July 26-27, on the tenth anniversary of the outbreak of the great war.

We respectfully ask your endorsement of the demonstration. "In reply by my direction the secretary to the President wrote to you saying: 'The President asks me to acknowledge receipt of your letter of June 30, with the assurance of his most hearty sympathy for every practical proposal to minimize the danger of war.
