Mr. Coolidge's Week

P:The last day or two of the President's "vacation" in Vermont were not much different from similar days in the White House. Two hundred automobiles full of "Grangers," from ten states rolled into Plymouth and were received on the lawn, rainy and misty although it was. Alva B. Johnson, onetime President of the Baldwin Locomotive Works; Representative John Q. Tilson, of the Speaker's Bureau of the Republican National Committee; John Barrett, Chairman of the Coolidge Independent Group; George W. Davison, Vice-President of the Central Union Trust Co., were among the callers. The total number of visitors during the 13 days approached 30,000.

P:The President and Mrs. Coolidge motored to Rutland to lunch with Governor Proctor of Vermont.

P:Professing to feel refreshed from their vacation Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge and their son John boarded the Presidential special at Ludlow. For two hours they stood on the back platform waving to crowds at stations; then darkness fell and next morning they were in Washington.

P:The President wrote to the Women's Church Committee on International Good Will, which is sending a Christmas ship to Germany: "The appeal of little children is worldwide, and America has never turned a deaf ear, whether the cry came from Armenia or from the devasted regions of France, from Rumania or from the Far East. Such charity is, I believe, one aspect of the good-will of America to all nations, of our desire to promote durable peace through mutual understanding."

P:President Coolidge addressed the National Fraternal Congress which was meeting at the Capital, saying:

"In point of numbers I am told that you have between 10 million and 12 million American men and women organized in various fraternities which have delegates at this meeting. . . . Without the moving spirit of fraternity, of a common effort for a common purpose, our government, economic and social organizations would at once disintegrate."

P:The President indicated that he would oppose the elevation of U. S. naval guns on the ground that it would stimulate competitive naval building abroad, and that it would be better to have foreign governments spend their money paying their debts to us then putting such money into armament.

P:President Coolidge presented to the Forbes Library in Northampton, Mass., a large collection of his family's photographs, annotated in his own hand.

P:The Prince of Wales lunched privately at the White House
