At White Pine Camp

P: At White Pine Camp arrived Attorney General John Garibaldi Sargent, motored with the President 46 miles to Follonsby Pond, where they fished the stocked pool belonging to the Barbour Lumber Company of Paterson, N. J. The Attorney General, reputedly ablest angler of Vermont, caught nothing. The President caught nothing, called Attorney General Sargent a jinx.

P:Simultaneously with the visit to White Pine Camp of U. S. Ambassador to Mexico James R. Sheffield, Spokesman Coolidge announced that U. S. business in Mexico was suffering far less interference than formerly and thus the present Mexican policy would be continued.

P: Over the protest of Democratic Senator William Cabell Bruce of Maryland, President Coolidge reappointed to the Tariff Commission Henry H. Classie,* likewise Maryland Democrat.

P:Arthur Brisbane, Hearst editor, in search of a proper weekly compliment to his hero, President Coolidge, fitted last week into the mozaic of his daily column an epigram: "This is the land of gold and the administration of golden silence."

P: The President conferred with Representative John Quillin Tilson, Republican House Leader, who said: "Nothing can be done to stabilize the prices of farm products and take care of the surplus," and predicted that the Democrats would make no gains whatsoever in the autumn elections.

P: The President received Bishop Charles Henry Brent of the Episcopal Diocese of Western New York, who had just returned from Europe. The Bishop painted an optimistic picture of lessening of intra-European hatreds.

P:President Coolidge called upon the Tariff Commission to prepare a report on the onion situation in Idaho. Alarmed by the presence of 1,800 carloads in Twin Falls County and 1,000 more in the Boise Valley waiting for a market, onion growers have clamored for a higher protective tariff.

*This was, of course, a recess appointment. Two other members of the Commission serving under the same sanction are Sherman J. Lowell, Fredonia, N. Y. and Edgar B. Brossard of Utah, who do not draw pay because they are unconfirmed by Congress. Mr. Glassie, however, will be salaried because of his appointment when Congress is not in session.
