A sprawling, disjointed summary discusses India female infant neglect in Kashmir, proposed education expansion in Russia, and American economic actions.

Hoover Holds Parley Over Coolidge Threat
In Rapidan Aug 15 President Hoover held a long conference with Charles J Tillis from New York as he seeks to enlist him to stop pressure for a Coolidge renomination. The movement, sparked by Lt James E Coupal’s claim Coolidge would run in 1932 if public demand exists, unsettled the White House. Tillis’s support as a political mentor to Wall Street circles may aid stopping the drive, while other leaders oppose the move. The discussion also covered prohibition policy and looming southern delegate strategy, with little measurable backing tonight.
