Uut; FIVE CENTS COOLIDGE NRANTS INTERVIEW FOR CORRESPONDENTS LEADER DISCUSSES PRESENT. DAY CONDITIONS WITH NEWS MEN TELLS OF HARMONY Praises The Way Senate and House Conducted Business During The Recent Session (By Associated Press) PAUL SMITH'S, New York, July 9. -Within the recollection of President Coolidge there has never been a time which favors greater harmony be- tween the legislative and executive branches of the government than within the period since he came into office as chief magistrate." Moreover, in the opinion of Mr. Coolidge, it would be difficult for the Senate and the House to be conduct- ed better than at the recent session of Congress from the standpoint of constructive legislation produced with less time spent in needless debate. The President's views were set forth today at a conference of news- paper correspondents with the official spokesman at the summer White House in the Adirondacks. With the explanation that It was not desired to take all the glory for the President in referring to the records of Congress, it was said that the Sen- ate and House had functioned as, leg- islative bodies without being con- stantly forced into some position by the chief executive. The Republican leader in the Senate, great credit by the spokesman for his Senator Curtis of Kansas, was given direction of difficult situations. Speaker Longworth and Representa- tive Tilson of Connecticut, the Repub- lican floor leader of the House, were mentioned also as giving invaluable support to the President during the session of Congress just closed. Turning to other questions of gov- ernment, the spokesman for the Presi- dent said Mr. Coolidge knew little of the appointment yesterday of Briga- dier-general Albert C. Dalton, to be president of the fleet corporation. As for ,the plan of the shipping board to offer the United States line and other government merchant routesfor sale, It was said there was nothing the President could add to his messageto Congress which had dealt with the question'. It was the desire of the President, it was made clear, that as many lines as possible be in the hands of private American operators.

Caillaux, Today former minister of the budget, Georg'e Bonnet and Marice Bokanowski, one of M. Cail- laux's colleagues on the latter unsuc- cessful Washington debt commission, pressed him closely on his program. M. Bokanowski objected particularly to an idea of a foreign loan as a fea- ture of stabilization of French fin- ances. He demanded that the gov- ernment tell the chamber if it was disposed to repeat the: experiences of Belgium. Fascisti Decide To End Election ROME, July 9,-(A.P.)-The fasist government, in an effort to ward off internal political strife, has decided to suspend indefinitely all provincial, communal and municipal elections. In well informed circies, it is be- lieved that this decision is a forerun- ner of considerable extension of the, "prodesta" system which already has been installed in four-fifths. of the na- tions communes. By this system, communal administrations have been abolished and have been replaced by an individual public official directly responsible to Rome. The object of the suspension of elec- tions is to concentrate every bit of national energy for the struggle to improve Italy's ecomonic situation. This drastic step will be taken it was learned semiofficially, because the cab-, inets recent economy campaign hasl not served to check the polemics ofa local political leaders, who have been] clamoring for new elections.a In England last year only 18 babies were born for every 1,000 of popula- tion.
