Peace Throughout Americas.
For the first time in quarter of
century. providing that the present
negotiations between the United States
and Mexico for renewal of relations
are brought to Il successful conClu-
sion, this government will be at peace
with all the nations Of Latin America
This was the reaSSuring informal
ton impaired by John Barrett. for
merry director of the I'an-American
! Union, in the course of Il conversation
with President Coolidge when he
called to pay his respects yesterday
afternoon. The new President. there
fore, assuming that friendly relations
between the United States and Mexico
are established through che pending
negotiations looking to the recogni-
ton OF the Oregon government will
not have to meet some of the prob
lens in regard to South America
which have distressed some of his
predecessors.
To be sure. there remains Haiti and
hnf tr,rr II
! over which the United States has a
protectorate of some sort and where
| internal political conditions are not
yet wholly satisfactory, but these are
not regarded as constituting problems
of major Importance so far as this
| government is concerned
Appeals for Vermont
Mr.. Barrett, who is d native Yer
monter. sought to interest the Presi-
ent in the formation of an organiZa-
! ton TO rebuild and rejuvenate Yer
| mont. industrially and agriculturalIy.
| There are said to be 100000 persons
| in Vermont and an equal number
i outside the state who are native born
! or OF Vermont ancestry. The Presi-
dent and Mrs. Coolidge both are ma
! tlveS of Vermont.
| Mr.. Barrett had planned to ask Mr.
| Coolidge when he was Vice President
| to be the honorary president of the
| organization. which he likened to tn y
| alumni association of school or col
| lege. The President expressed a keen
| interest i'll the suggested organization
| and will probably later be asked to
lend his name to the plan.
| 1t is interesting 10 note. in Connec-
ton with the political gossip Of the
| hour. that it had been expected that
| Senator Moses would support Hiram
| Johnson of California for the repub-
| liCan nomination if the latter throws
| his hat into the ring, and it had been
1 al -
be the manager of the Johnson cam

idge.
Lodge Returns Home.
| Senator Lodge. who left Washington
for his home in Nahant yesterday, might
| have been near neighbor of the Presi-
dent this summer. if the accession of
Mr.. Coolidge TO the Presidency had oc-
CURED earlier in the year. The summer
White House might have been esta liSh-
| ed at SwampsCott the summer home
! of Frank w Stearns, to which Vice
President and Mrs. Coolidge had been
invited before the death of President
Harding
AS it is there is every probability
; that President Coolidge will remain in
Washington the rest of the summer.
The pressing problem is the threatened
| strike in the anthracite coal mines.
This is scheduled for September ! and
! it is believed that the President would
rather be in Washington than away
from the seat of government if it should
occur. 1t is possible that Mrs. Coolidge
may leave Washington to visit her
mother in Vermont
Senator Curtis of Kansas, the re-
publican whip of the Senate. was one of
Of President Coolidge's important callers.
He was with the President for half an
hour and discussed various matters,
legislative and political. He declined
to take the news paper correspondents
into his confidence.
Cabinet Meeting Uncertain.
For the time being there will be no
break in the cabinet. 1t is understood
that President Coolidge has received
