The President in his statement said
he did not think Mr.. Ford's favor was
for sale and that the question Of the
disposition of Muscle Shoals ought to
be decided on Its merits.
President Coolidge imposed his Will
upon leaders in Congress and prevailed
upon them to extend until July l next

sion clause of the immigration bill
would take effect. The avowed pur-
pose of the extension is to allow Secre-
tary of State Hughes time in which to
negotiate an agreement on the subject

rerred by Charles B. Brewer, special
