ought not attempt to Illustrate any
attempt which the Mexican people
themselves might desire to make, to
upset the present government, which
is termed communistic.
The statement of the official Spokes-
man is believed to contain a hint that
1t is useless for any Americans to
attempt to create opinion for action
against the Mexican government UNI
less treaty rights or the persons or
property OF Americans are violated,
If that sentiment is to be directed
toward the Government with view
that 1t take hand.
No Objection to Campaign.
The administration can make no
logical objection to the plans of the
knights of Columbus to conduct a
campaign of education to the end
that policies of Soviet Russia shall
be eliminated from the philosophy of
American life and the ideals of liberty
of conscience and democratic freedom
may extend to our afflicted fellow
men beyond the Rio Grande." 1t will
be no more bound to recognize what
is done than last Spring when the
foreign relations committee of the
House granted an extended hearing
to consider some of the acts against
priests and nuns who had been order
ed from Mexico. Several speeches
were made in Congress condemning
Mexican actions in this respect. Arch
bishop Curley of Baltimore at the
time made an appeal for action by
the United States.
No announcement has been made,
but there seems to be an impression
in official circles here that the present
differences between President Gales
on behalf of the government on one
hand and the Catholic hierarchy in
Mexico on the other may be COM
posed amicably.
The Presidents spokesman also
stated that while Mr.. Coolidge had re-
ceived no official information relative
to reports that the Russians plan
ned to send a mission here to discuss
debt settlement, the President felt
that the first thing to be done by Rus
STA, If her present leaders want to
abandon the policy of reputation. is
to repeal the local legislation declar-
ing the debts nun and void and not
binding upon the present regime.
Will Entrain Monday.
Announcement was made here that
the President and Mrs. Coolidge will
remain here over the week end. They
will depart on their special train some
time Monday morning for White Pine
Camp in the Adirondack Mountains.
Both the President and his wife
have enjoyed their visit to Plymouth
Notch. The President while discus
sing his brief visit. indicated that 1t
had been very pleasing and crafty
ing once more to be at his boyhood
home. Although he speaks well of
the Adirondacks he likes the familiar
scenes and the home surroundings.
AS for the air and climate, the Presi-
dent made it plain that he considers
the country hereabouts quite as IN
MIGRATING, and it has, in his opinion,
more substance than even the brac1ng
climate of the section in which the
Summer White House has been es-
tablished.
The President and Mrs. Coolidge to-
morrow afternoon will attend church
services in the community meeting
house, Just across the roadway from
the Coolidge home. Col. John Cool
idge, the Presidents father, was
regular worshiper and an officer OF
this Union Church, and in his youth,
before leaving Plymouth, the Presl-
dent was constant in his attendance
there.
Receives Newspaper Men.
To the surprise of the newspaper
correspondents who are accompanying
the President on his vacation from
Washington, he held his customary
semi-weekly conference with them yes
terday. During his previous visits to
Plymouth since he became President,
Mr.. Coolidge abandoned these con-
ferences for the time being. There
fore, when he returned from q motor
ride yesterday afternoon and sent
word to the correspondents lettering
about the front porch OF the cross
roads store that he was ready to hold
a conference, he caused considerable
of a surprise. The Executive sat IN
his rocker on the front piazza and the
newspaper men formed little group
on the lawn. This was not only the
first conference of it's kind ever held
at the Coolidge homestead, but 1t was
the first time the President has been
without the services of Erwin Geiser,
his confidential stenographer. How
ever. the President proceeded to dis
cuss the various questions propounded
without any record being kept of what
he might have to say.
Earlier in the afternoon the Presi-
dent received a call from Representa-
tive John @. Tilson of Connecticut,
