CAMBRIDGE. Mesa. July 3.-—Se-
‘curity pacts to preserve the peace of
Europe were given a. pledge of mor-
al support today by President Cool-
idge, who .coupled his promise with
a warning that. on no other terms
could "America be expected to con-
.tribute further to the financial re-
vival of the Old World.
"If the people of the Old World
are mutually distrustful of each oth-
er." he said in an address delivered
here. “let them enter into mutual
covenants for their mutual security.
“While our own country should
refrain from making political com-
mitments where it does not have
political intelcsts. such covenants
would always have the moral sup-
port of our government. and could
not fall to have the commendation
of the public opinion of the world.

SANTA BARBARA. Calif.. July 3.
—(AP). Three distinct shocks and
a number of tremors did not halt
reconstruction in Santa Barbara to-
day. With priiate enterprise ac-
tivity in the business district. the
county supervisors in their first ses-
sion since the quake of Monday hir-
cd an architect to plan a $1,000,000
court house and a' 3200.000 county
hospital. In .iuajting a general
outline, for the new building plans
the supervisors ordered that provi-
sion be made for a doubling of
county business in ten years.
Along the main business street
of the city plate glass men were busy
repairing display windows in stores
not otherwise damaged and “busi-
ness as usual" was resumed at a
great number of stores.
Lines at all Red Cross canteens
were reduced to a. minimum durin‘
all hours of the day. some of the
branch canteens were closed. The
Salvation Army closed its canteen
tonight. Many eating houses have
opened in temporarily repaired old
quarters. '
Sections of streets are" being con-
tinually closed while weakened walls
are torn down. Falling walls make
the keeping of telephone connec-
tions most difficult, The city has
been promised electric lights in resi-

most sections. Gas, however. was
not promised for a week. It has
been discovered that the condition
of the gas mains is much worse than
was at first believed.

some sections of the city tomorrow.

There is still a delay in the rum-
Ored restoration of. the old commit.
iation rates between stations in
Connecticut and points west in New

it.
This may not be until July 15.
according to information given out
Thursday by the New Haven road.
Norwalkcrs will have to bear the
