SWAMPSCOTT, Mass, July Ii
In the seclusion of the Summer White
House President Coolidge and Secre-
tary Kellogg went into conference
situations. With them was Under
brought from Washington the mass
of documentary and verbal informa-
| ton as to late developments.
| On his return to White Court late
in the afternoon from the Essex
| County Press Clubs outing at Lake
Attitash. the President found the. Sec
retary of State and his assistant
awaiting him. They Immediately be-
gan discussion of departmental mat
ters. chief of which We're the Chinese
and debt-funding problems. 1t was
| indicated that the consultation would
continue over the week end, with
little likelihood that much would be
made public as to the details.
Arriving in Boston shortly after
noon from his home In st. Paul. Mr..
kellogg declined to discuss at any
length the purpose of his visit to
White Court. although 1t was con-
! firmed that his conferences with the
President would hinge finally on
China and debts. The Secretary was
and after luncheon both motored to
the Summer White House.
Conference First Of Kind.
The meeting here of the President
xrish af he
Executives first conference with a
Cabinet officer since his vacation be-
gan, and was in line with his an
nounced intention of having Govern
ment officials come here from time to
time during the Summer for discus
sion OF important departmental mat
ters.
While the President apparently is
not concerned over any new de-
velopments with regard to foreign
debts or the situation in China, he
realizes that there has been con-
siderable progress made with regard
to both problems since his departure
from Washington. In his conference
with Secretary Kellogg he will be en-
bled to get first-hand Information
regarding preliminary debt-funding
negotiations with France, Italy and
other European nations and also to
get accurate data as to what Is hap
pening in the Far East.
Opposed as he Is to the holding of
any conference distinct from those
authorized to deal with Chinese GUS
toms and eXtraterrttorial rights in
China by the Washington treaty, Mr.
Coolidge Is of the opinion that COM
pletion of ratification of these con-
ventions' by France yesterday makes
1t imperative that the United States
be prepared with a definite policy to
be pursued with regard to them. He
believes that sufficient leeway is al
lowed the nations signatory to the
treaty to handle the general Chinese
problem adequately.
Brings MaeMurray Reports.
Mr.. Grew brought with him conf
dental reports from John Van A.
Mac cMurray, who has just taken his
post at Peking as American minister.
These reports on the situation in
China, together with others in pos
session of the State Department, are
expected to give the President an
accurate line on conditions there and
put him in a position better to de-
eide what policy the American Gov
ernment should pursue.
The meager official statement was
made informally after the conference
that the only subjects discussed were
the debt and Chinese problems and
that there was no new development
of importance in either situation.
Secretary Kellogg stated that he
would probably return TO Washing
ton tomorrow night. He remained at
White Court as house guest while
Mr.. Grew visited relatives nearby.
President Coolidge earlier this after
noon carried through one of his pre-
vacation plans for recreation. With
Mrs. Coolidge and intimate friends he
participated in the annual outing of
the Essex County newspaper publish
ers given at the estate of Ralph S.
Bauer at Lake Attitash.
Ride Is LeisureIy.
Leaving White Court at noon, Mr.:
Coolidge made leisurely ride OF the
40-mile trip to the lake. After posing
with his host for pictures, he depart
ed for the Summer White House.

pened. Lieut.. Comdr. Joel T. Boone,
the Presidents S physician, dropped out
of the presidential motor party to rem
der first aid to the driver of motor
cycle side car, who had turned over
in making a turn.

to the Danvers Hospital nearby after
DIR. Boone had made an examination.
