three times, he may be set back

American Golfers Say
Ruling Was Not Fair

LONDON, June 1S.-Walter Hagen
and Gene Sarazen are quoted in the
Sunday Times as denouncing on the
eve of their departure the ruling of
the st. Andrews committee against
punched clubs just before the British
open golf championship opened. Both
felt rather keenly on the subject.
Hagen, who lost his championship
title to Arthur Havers, after paying
tribute to the reception extended to
the Americans, added that what they
did not appreciate was apparently
the unsportsmanlike way punched
clubs were declared illegal at the
eleventh hour"
sarazen agreed, saying ut is a great
mistake to have men at st. Andrews
with such autocratic powers. When
we come here again. if they have
anything to bar. let them bar 1T

COOLIDGE AGAINST
ECONOMIC PARLEY
Thinks Nothing Would Be
Gained With Present Con-
ditions in Europe.

With the present condition of mind
existing in Europe, President Cool
idge sees little or nothing to be gain
ed from an endeavor to hold world
economic conference.
The views of the President were
obtained today when the attention
of White House officials was called
to the advocacy of an international
economic conference by Senator Cope
land, democrat. New York.
The President has not considered
the question particularly. but the
! subject has been one of more or less
continuous discussion-inzW Washington
for the past two years. Up to the
present time, however. the President
has not been able to see such condi-
tions in existence abroad as would
make q world discussion of economic
problems practicable or useful.
No Promise of Success.
The view of Nh. Coolidge is that it
would be useless to even start in mo-
ton steps looking toward an econom-
ic conference until there were as
suranceS that some success would at
tend the discussions. Many of the
questions foremost in conflict in Eu-
rope are recognized by the Preident
as of an economic nature, but a num-
Der of them, in his opinion, are so
closely allied with political considera-
tions that a meeting of the repre-
sentatives of the nations Of the world
would do little to remove the conflicts.
At tthe same time the President
was represented as optimistic regard
ing business conditions generally
throughout the United States.
In making this known a spokesman
for the President said that the mat
terS of information regarding condi-
tions in this country are such as to
make him feel satisfied andreaSsured
that the prosperity of the past year
will continue for some time in the fu-
ture.
Difficulties Limited.
1t was explained that while some
difficult situations exist they, are con-
fined to sections and to Individuals.
According to the Presidents best
advices, the agricultural situation as
whole is splendid. although the
raisers of range cattle are feeling
the effects of low prices. At the same
time those engaged in fattening cat
tie and other livestock are receiving
good prices and appear to be hope
full of the, future. Reports indicate
evidences of prosperity among the
textile industries, and leaders among
the steel and manufacturing indus
tries report their business as being
fair.
