The Interview
lives not. 1t will be observed that KELLOGG
thought he might, but could not say.
After few Introductory remarks our re-
porter said:
| want to know something about an extra
session?
| Kellogg -Ab we'll
i Reporter When are you going to call it?
L Kellogg That depends on the committee.
L Reporter Then you will call one?
( kellogg-If the committee recommends it
| I will.
Reporter Suppose the committee does not?
kellogg VIII be governed by the adjust
ment. Whatever the adjustment is | will
stand by 1t, as | expect the opposition to do
Reporter suppose the committee SAYS
nothing about an extra session?
Kellogg If the committee does not make
a recommendation against it, | think I may
call one.
Reporter You cannot say that you will or
will not
Kelloeg-Of course not 1t depends on
the djustment and On circumstances. |
think there ought to be an extra session for
short term, a few days, you know.
Reporter-To effect the adjustment?
Kellogg and for anything else
ieporter-Do you know of anything else 2
Kellogg No drawing it OUT, but there
may be something.
Reporter-Then circumstances will govern
you?
Kellogg Well, yes, l think so; circum-
stances and the terms Of adjustment. [
think there ought to be an extra session. |
know that many of my friends think other
wise and are opposed to it, but shall use nv
Judgment and be governed by the terms of
the adjustment | do not know that there
has been an adjustment. | have not been
notified that the committee has arrived at
any agreement.
Reporter-I think the reported dispatch as
published this evening is authentic in fact,
believe it is. You saw that?
Kellogg Oh yes. I have received a dis
patch, however, somewhat different from
that. This dispatch says the committee have
gwen el9ul MAJORITY
Reporter To the Republicans?
Kellogg Yes, on joint ballot. 1t NAV be
mistake. Igot it from the secretary of the
committee. Che dispatch was in cipher and
there may be mistake, but that is how
read it.
Reporter II your dispatch is correct will
you call an extra session?
Kellogg cannot say. | think there
should be an extra session.
Reporter The Conservatives say that YOU
have pledged yourself to call an extra session.
Kellogg Somewhat excited) Don't report
me as making any pledges. I am only telling
what / think.
Reporter understand; but you are already
reported as having made pledges to certain
members of the Conservative Caucus.
Kellogg I do not know the men that can
say so.
Reporter do not know the men that you |
gave pledges to, but can name half dozen
that have asserted to me that you were |
pledged.
Kellogg = Well, have never given any |
pledge. [ have spoken to men just as l have |
spoken to you. l do not see how they can
,onstrue that into pledge l have written
he same thing People very frequently come
n to see me and l say things, and they go
out and report that | have given my pledge
have men come in and apply for office. |
ell them | will think about it, l will take it
nto consideration, and then those men 90 off
md dream about it, and believe that have
to appoint them, and in two or
hree days come in and tell me so, and tell
'ther people so. | have gotten SO that | say
10 declslvely, because if act good natured
bout it they misrepresent me.
Reporter will take down exactly what
'ou have to say about extra session.
Kellogg Hold on. You don't wish to
report me ?
Reporter No That is Just why wish to
axe down exactly what you say about extra
esSion.
Kellogg Well, l do not want that. You
understand me well enough. I think there
hould be an extra session after the adjust
nent is accepted, and it should be called
'ithin a short time. Some people think it
hould be delayed until the next regular ses-
ion, but believe in an early one for a short
Ime.
