Harding Policies Inviolate
Mr.. Coolidge reiterated his com
mittment to carry out the policies
of the late President Harding. In
an informal conference with news
papermen, who were with Mr.. Hard
ing, the President said that if they
would remember mat his announce
ment that he intended to carry out
faithfully Mr.. HardingJs policies
is still his plan, that it would save
number of questions.
One of the principal policies to
which Mr.. Harding was committed
was the world court. and as Mr..
Coolidge s attitude on that is today
the principal question concerning
his plans, his hearers assumed that
Mr Coolidge intended his state
ment to answer that question as
well as others.
In that event Mr.. Coolidge in
tends to continue the work of bring
ing about American membership in
the court where Mr.. Harding laid
it down.

Coal Strike Alternatives
I'm tn coal strike situation Mr..
Coolidge is considering two courses:
Calling the miners and operators
to the White House and serving up
on them notice that the govern
mont viii not tolerate a strike
September ].
Bringing steady pressure for 4
settlement. and if that fails, act
ing to safeguard the public coal
supply in case of shutdown.
Mr.. Coolidge is leaning toward
the first course now. But he is not
quick to make up his mind
Following out the same idea the
President IS in 10 hurry to>appoint
his personally secretary. Edward
I. Clark Of northampton, Mass, is
acting in that capacity now and
probably will continue. But where
the President found cause for i'm
mediate action was in the preserve
ton of the influence OF Mr.. Hard

had engagements TO meet senators,
congressman and politicians in the
ranks who will carry to him their
own personal ideas of how he
should move.
There will be no extra session

vent it. While scmn Of the new

longing was the desire to devote

The prince inquired as to the
views and likely course of Pree-

interest in the policies of the new
