East is the general feeling over the
election of President Coolidge, ac-
cording to G. V. Morse, who returned
Tuesday evening from eastern points
which he visited as member of a
commission of five from the North
west, headed by E. G.. Quamme, pres
ident of the Federal Land Bank of
st. Paul. This commission conferred
with administration and financial of
icials regarding the northwestern ag-
ricultural situation, including among
its meetings a special audience with
the President and conference with
Secretary of Commerce Hoover.
"The President, impresses one as a
man of energy and vitality, quiet, but
able to handle the high office to
which he has been elected. He said
very little to US, most of his talk be-
ing confined to questions with which
he piled US continually. He seemed
very much interested in getting all
possible information regarding the
agricultural situation, asking ques-
tons which indicated that he has fol-
lowed northwestern conditions close
ly, as well as conditions elsewhere"
said Mr.. Morse.
This view of the President was con-
frmed with talks with high officials
in Washington. One official who sees
him often gave his impression of the
President to be that of Judge care
fully weighing all the evidenced placed
before him, saying little, but render
ing final decision through ability to
judge the evidence with fairness and
equality to all.
In other words, the President has
made a decided hit at Washington, es-
pecially since the election, for there
is. no doubt but that he has now
adopted a Coolidge" attitude, where
heretofore he has felt it his duty to.
carry out the policies of his prede-.
cessor. If well informed men in the
East are at all correct in their opin-
ion Of the man, President Coolidge is
likely to go down in history as one
of our greatest presidents.
) Mr.. Hoover is also well informed
along agricultural lines. One cannot
talk with him five minutes without
being very much impressed with his
knowledge of conditions. There is
no. doubt but that he has made his
department a very important one at
Washington. This department is well
organized and rendering an import.
ant service to industries, commerce,
finances and our agriculture. Mr..
Hoover is one of the worlds greatest
organizers, and with interests scat
cred throughout the world he still
finds time to render a highly import
ant service to the nation.
Little Old New York is interesting,
but altogether too large to be COM
Portable. Of course one must see
Will Rogers and the Follies and if
time permits, there are several other
shows equally entertaining. l be-
lieve, however, that to get the real
"kick" out of New York one must
spend day or so on Wall Street,
where they talk in terms of billions,
where international financing is done.
We spent most of one day in one
bank, the National City, the largest
bank in the world. There we were
privileged to lunch in the private dim
inga room, seating only eight, which
had been occupied the day before by
six financial representatives of six
foreign governments. Later we were
taken to the stock exchange, where
some five thousand brokers act as
a clearing house for transactions in
stocks and bonds. This sight was in
teresting to say the least.
"New York's financial circles re-
fleet the feeling of confidence and
optimism which seems to be preva-
lent everywhere. This of course is
logical for Wall Street is barometer
of the country. Financing is easier,
industry of all kinds shows an in
crease, the country buying power is
getting back into its stride, in fact
conditions all around seem to be
greatly imnreyed :"
