Convinced After Many Con.
ferences That No Change
Is Advisable Now.
RESUMED RELATIONS
WITH MEXICO AT HAND
President to Move Into White
House Tonight After Final
Dinner at Hotel.

President Coolidge has no inten-
tions of changing this governments
European policy. In making this en-
phatic statement today a spokesman
for the President said the latter has
been convinced that the course fol-
lowed by the late President Harding
In dealing with the nations OF Europe
not only denotes wisdom, but has
proven entirely satisfactory and that
unless subsequent developments make
1t necessary there will be no change.
Within the past few days President
Coolidge has received a number of
officials and citizens at the White
House who have reported their OBJ
servations of existing conditions In
Europe. but nothing reported by these
callers has led the President to con-
slider any alteration in this country's
attitude as being necessary. It is ex-
planned further that these reports
have on the other hand assured the
Executive of the wisdom of the policy
adopted by President Harding and
executed by Secretary of State
Hughes.
The President is of the opinion from
the great abundance of information
furnished him from all quarters that
there Is nothing for the United States
to do to relieve some of the difficult
ties being experienced by European
nations other than what 1t has al
ready done and is now being at
tempted.
Pleased Over Mexico.
1t was intimated at the White
lomatic relations between this coun-
try and Mexico is now only a mat
ter of short time.
President Coolidge is known to be
highly pleased with the reports made
to him yesterday afternoon by Charles
b. Warren and John Barton Payne.
who have been negotiating with
Mexico. 1t was stated authoritative
| ly that the complete report and
missioners Is now. being digested by
Secretary of State Hughes and will
i be in the hands of the President in
very short time. The drst step to
be taken by this government viii be
the assignment of a charge d'affaires
in Mexico City, to be followed shortly
afterward by an ambassador and the
receiving of one in this country.
President and Mrs Coolidge expect
to sleep in the White House tonight.
House today II was explained that
1t is the Presidents intentions to
come to the White House with his
wife after dinner at the Willard
that this event be attended by guile;
and simplicity, and with as little
ostentation 8 possible.
Against Tariff hoard.
Recent conversations with Tariff
Commission members and other stu
dents of the tariff question have
failed thus far to convince President
Coolidge of the practicability Of {
tariff adjustment board.
1ndicatio were given al the White
House today that while Mr.. Coolidge
had not given mature consideration
to the subject, he felt at this time
that the powers accorded the COM
mission were sufficiently broad to en-
compass such work as proponents or
the separate adjustment board would
have that agency perform.
The President was represented as
having seen many objections TO the
proposal and only a few advantages.
The general question of a tariff policy
was said to remain 1t was under
the administration of President Hard
ing.
A conference of state governors
called by President Coolidge to con-
slider methods for strict enforcement
of the prohibition laws was forecast
today at the White House. No final
decision to assemble such a confer
ence, however. has been reached.
President Harding had made plans
to confer with. the state executives
on the subject last spring. but the
late sessions, of the state legislatures
made 1t inadvisable to request the
governors to come to Washington.
When he departed on his Alaskan trip
he announced that the conference
would be called soon after he return
ed. and White House officials today
said there had been no change in that
plan.
Arrangements for the conference
probably will be worked out as soon
as Prohibition Commissioner Haynes
returns to Washington.
