PRESIDENT WILLING
TO REMAIN IN CITY
Not Trying to Make Congress
Adjourn Soon-Likes 1t
Around Here.
BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG.

President Coolidge is prepared to
remain in Washington just as long
as Congress sees fit to continue this
| session. He disclaims any attempt
to influence Congress in the matter of
an early adjournment and let it be
known today that. so far as he per-
sonally is concerned. it is a matter of
Indifference to him when the session
closes
In making known the President s
attitude toward adjournment plans
the Presidents spokesman today eX.
planned that the President considers
it the duty of Congress itself to decide
on an adjournment date and for that
reason he has thus far injected no
interference. From time to time
within the past few weeks he has dis
cussed the subject with various mem
bers of the Senate and the House, but
as for the decision itself he has left
that entirely with Congress.
Has Few Plans.
So far as the President is personally
concerned. prolonged session this
Summer will not disturb him. nor
will it interfere with any of his pre-
sent plans. He only has two definite
plans at this time. One calls for a
speech in Philadelphia July 5. incident
to the Sesquicentennial celebration
there. and the other is the vacation
he has planned in the Adirondack
Mountains. The President feels very
certain that even though Congress is
in session on July it will not inter
u-ith tn fn
delphia.
AS for the Presidents vacation
plans. he let it be known today that
his presence in Washington while
Congress is in session is of far more
Importance than. his outing in the
mountains. Andf it is his intention
to postpone the selection of a date
on which to depart on his vacation
until it is definitely settled when
Congress will adjourn. He in.
timated that it will be perfectly agree.
able to him to remain here all Sum
mer if Congress deems it necessary
to stay in session.
Likes White House i'm Summer.
The President was represented as
saying that he has found it very com
Portable sitting in the White House
during the dead of the Summer and
would have no objection to trying it
again. His spokesman explained that
the Presidents idea in going away
from Washington for the Summer is
not to get away from the climate but
for the purpose of obtaining a change
of scenery and a rest.
At the White House today no init
nation was given when an adjourn.
ment of Congress may be looked for
The fight led by Representative Mad
den of Illinois in the House yesterday
afternoon. which resulted in the de-
feat of the plan to bring, about an
agreement on an adjournment, was
no surprise to the White House. in.

PRESIDENT HAS SIGNED
MOTHERS PENSION BILL
100000 Fund Will Be Admin
istered by Board of Public Wei
fare for. D. c. Parents.

President Coolidge today signed
the mothers pension bill. providing
a 100000 fund which will be used
the first year to aid worthy mothers
in home care of children not over 16
years of age.
The funds will be administered by
q Board of Public Welfare. which
will be established July l. and appli-
cations for aid under this act are to
be considered by a standing commit
tee of the board, one member of
which must be a woman.
The passage of this bill was looked
upon as a victory for local interests
over social lobbyists of New York
State, who sought to set up sepa-
rate board to administer the pen
sionS.

BRAND MINISTERS
BALKAT j. s. DEBT;
CABINET IS FILLED
Ratification Opposed by Dou-
mer and Poincare-Pre.
mier Favors Settlement.
BY the Associated Press.


PARIS, June Capitalization or
| non-ratification Of the Washington
debt settlement and decisions on other
questions bearing on sterilization of
exchange and final renovation Of
French finances will determine
whether Aristide Brands tenth cab
met. which is now completely recruit
ed. will be officially announced.
Paul Doumer. who is asked to take
the finance ministry. which he left
about four months ago after ar ad.
verse vote in the Chamber. makes his
acceptance conditional upon a previous
agreement by the members of the new
cabinet on the precise financia! pro-
gram which the ministry would be
obligated to defend without amend
ment before Parliament.
Plan for Lower Interest.
This plan, which was discussed
nearly three hours today by Premier
BRAND. NJ. Doumer and others, is I'M
derstood to involve refunding of the in
terror debt at lower rates of interest
and an increase in direct taxes, with
corresponding reductions in such taxes
as have, according to financial eX-
perts, caused expectation of capital.
Ratification of the Washington debt
agreement is opposed by NJ. Doumer
because he deems it too burdensome.
but it is demanded by the expert COM
mittee on finance as essential to sta
bilization. This question was dis
cussed lengthily at today's confer
ence.
NJ. Poincare is also understood to be
opposed to ratification. while NJ
BRAND and his colleagues of the last
ca abinet insist that the pact be accept
ed. They hold that if the question is
left open stabilization of the franc will
be impossible.
Premier is Confident.
The discussion was suspended just
before noon to allow NJ. BRAND to con-
suit the parliamentary party leaders
rs TO the financial program. The pre-.
mier expressed himself as confident
that he would be able to announce his
cahiuet officially before nichtfall.
The new cabinet. as far as it had
been arranged earlier today, was as
follows:
Premier and minister of foreign af-
fairs, Aristide BRAND: minister of jus.
tice and for A.sace- Lorraine. Ray
mond Poincare: minister of finance,
Paul noumer: minister of war. Paul

BROOKHART SCORES
PLOT Of INTERESTS
Farmers viii Have No
Chance Until Congress
Fights Situation, He Says.

STORM LAKE. Iowa. June 90
Smith, W. Brookhart. Republican SEN
atorial nominee, told gathering OF
farmers here today that agriculture
will have no chance in Congress until
1t elects ma jority in both houses
that will fight to a finish what he
described as conspiracy of special
interests
Agriculture, Mr.. Brookhart said.
has perhaps passed its most critical
stage in American history. The
Haugen bill faces imminent defeat.
This defeat has been brought about
by a gigantic conspiracy of special
interests against the basic industry
of our country.
These interests have devised a
scheme of economics which denounces
everything as economically unsound
unless it promotes their special wei
fare. Because of their size and pres
tige, they are able to control the
views of the statesmen and dictate
the action of the United States Gov
ernment.
Opinions Held Radical.
IF any one proposes to do the same
IHlIlS loI dSI tIldI IldS OCCu
done for the railroads, for the credit
system, for the protected industries,
for the industries based upon patents.
or for public utilities. he is denounced
as a radical or dangerous man i'm
bued with socialistic tendencies.
"In Iowa, so predominately agricul-
tural, there is no newspaper and no
individual so powerful as openly to
oppose the enactment Of legislation
for the equal economic rights of agri-
culture. But while it is true, there
exists in the State. on a small scale,
a secret conspiracy as sinister and
insidious as the Non-Partisan League
of Wall Street itself. This crowd is
made up of a few newspapers and a
few representatives of the great cor
porate interests that proceed by
means Of flank attacks.
Hope i'm Cooperation.
1T is the settled belief Of all the
farm organizations and ali of the
labor organizations that ultimate re-
lief from the intoierable oppression
Of great and unlawful combinations
of wealth Is to be found in co-opera-
tive organization, which should be as
sisted in the first instance by the Gov
ernment as it has assisted other en-.
terprises and especially by the gov
ernmental export corporation.
THE opposing interests are careful
to avoid a clash with this idea as a
whole. and instead they pick out one
element of cooperative organization
to wit, limitation upon the earn
ings of capital-and denounce that
as socialistic. This is done without
regard to the merit of the proposition
and without regard to the historic
merit of the long settled fact that the
corporation is exactly the opposite of
socialism"

Warns of Laws Limitations.

A warning against the belief that
legislation can take away the purely
personal trials and burdens of life"
was given by Justice Butler.
He pointed out that care should be
taken to avoid overeXpansion OF gov
ernment activities. He also made an
appeal for sound character rs A sup
plemcnt to thorough education.
ITO tne thoughtful observers" he
said, "it seems that care should be
taken lest activities of government be
expanded beyond their proper sphere.
II is possible by too many enaCmentS
and regulations to impair the dignity
of law and respect for authority.
Necessarily, government must have
contact at many points with the peo-
pie within its jurisdiction, and as pop
ulation increases and conditions be-
come more complex, il must more and
more concern itself with matters that
heretofore did not require regulation
The fact that, under tn tOnStitu-
tion. the governed are also the rulers

pear to believe thar legislation can

of life. including those tha: are purely
personal; that laws can he devised to
furnish employment. prescribe the
amount of work and provide for all
the needs of life. Notwithstanding
that all experience shows the con-
trary. many seem to think it possible
to transfer the responsibilities of life
from individuals to whom they belong
to agencies of the state created to
bear them.
