Shafer upon his | i return from Washington. } “Hoover carries the conversation to! you and gives you a clear idea of what is on his own mind, "the gove:- nor said. “Mr. Coolidge just sat, with a cold and clamy eye, and listened. He was a good listener but if a man had any tendency to be embarrassed | it didn’t help him any.” Shafer was a luncheon guest. along with Governor Hammill of Iowa, at the White House and came away with the impression that Hoover regards just one problem as of outstanding importance just now.

I gathered that he expects the results of the recent stock market collapse to be adjusted by spring and that he feels business will be on a wholly nor- mal basis by early next summer.” The president is keenly interested in the public reaction to recent busi- ness developments, the governor said, and asked him and Governor Ham- mill to interpret for him the general attitude in the Northwest.

As to the president's reaction on | the progress made toward solving the agricultural problems, he obtained no clear idea, the governor said, other than that problems of administration had presented themselves to the fed- eral farm board which were to be ex- pected -in a project dealing with so versif!
