Thanks Newspaper Men.
At this mornings press conference
the spokesman for Mr.. Coolidge
tina mixed the correspondents who have
been here with him. and made it quite
clear that he has no intention OF
changing the present system of press
conferences The President feels that
it is very important for democratic
institutions that the Office of the
President be interpreted candidly and
accurately to the Nation.
The present system he finds much
more effective than If he were to is
sue formal statements. That would do
away with the need for trained re-
porters. and they bring something to
this work that a prepared statement
would lack, and on the whole Mr..
Coolidge is fairly we'll satisfied with
the results. He takes real pleasure in
the fact that on these Summer trips
his relations with the press have been
better than some other Presidents
have experienced. In previous admin
istrations Summer vacations were the
bane of the President. as we'll as of
the old-time White House attaches,
but Mr.. Coolidge hasn't had that ex-
perience. and has found way to
change the result.
