The Coolidge Week

P: Offshore winds tugged at the four-starred naval cap clamped firmly on the President's head. Past the presidential yacht Mayflower moved the United States Fleet--98 ships of war, Admiral Charles Frederick Hughes commanding. From the ships came the President's salute (21 guns), from the Mayflower the signal "Well Done"--the navy's formula of highest praise. U. S. President for some four years, President Coolidge had held his first naval review.

P: The President sent a cablegram to His Britannic Majesty George V, on the occasion of the King-Emperor's 62nd birthday.

". . . To Your Majesty congratulations. . . .

(Signed) "CALVIN COOLIDGE."

P: While Administration friends cried "Determined!" and Administration foes cried "Stubborn!" President Coolidge once more refused to call, now or later, a special "flood relief session" of Congress.

P: "I think we shall get what we want at Geneva, and that no one else will have any more ships than we have." So spoke Admiral Hilary P. Jones after he and other members of the U. S. delegation to the approaching Geneva Arms Conference had conferred at the White House with President Coolidge and Secretaries Kellogg and Wilbur.

P: To the White House office came Herbert C. Hoover on a trip from the flood district. From the White House came a letter to Lewis E. Pierson, president of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, requesting further aid from that organization in raising some millions of dollars for flood relief work.

P: Among other presidential visitors were: onetime Governor William Sproul of Pennsylvania, who introduced E. E. Loomis, President of the Lehigh Valley Railroad; Frank L. Perrin of the Christian Science Monitor; U. S. Senator Joseph T. Robinson of Arkansas, who discussed flood conditions; and the United States Champion Junior Dairy Judging Team.
