President Coolidge Discusses Foreign Problems at Vermont Meeting
President Coolidge, fresh from hay fields, met newspaper correspondents in Plymouth Vermont and explained the armaments conference plan and Dawes settlement benefits. He said now is not the time to reopen European debt talks and declined political questions, insisting reporters cover him as president. The improvised briefing over Cilleys store followed a late start after he raked hay on a cousin’s farm. Col. Coolidge and Secy Slemp watched as he outlined key government policies. The armaments conference will come when practical, tied to Dawes plan results, not soon, and not as a campaign event. Continued on third page.
