THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON., D. C, BROADER BY POST Presidency Has Given Him Wider Outlook on World Problems. (Thix is the fourth of a series of four dispatches icritten by David Lawrence on the theme “Tiwo Years of Coolidge” apropos of the fact that Calvin Conlidge has just eoncluded his second year as Presi- dent) BY DAVID LAWRENCE. SWAMPSCOTT, Mass. August 4 —Calvin Coolidge outwardly has changed very little in (wo vears, even to the intimate friends who have known him for many vears. But they all are agreed that the cares and responsibility of office have weighed heavily upon him and that he hax developed into an even more serious personality than before, with broadey view of human problems and » deeper appreciation of his own re- lationship to them. The presidential office always af- fects the men who nccupy it. They sometimes are unconscious of its day- by-day influence. hut they ready to admit ir is one thing tackle public questions from the e ana auite another to make decisions when on_the inside The information given a President | trom confidential sources is so vo- luminous at times that it is per- plexing to arrive at a solition which the outside world will understand. AMr. Coolidge has found foreign af- fairs especially of absorbing interest A student by nature. he has had he- fore him an accumulation of reports and memoranda which have educated him to & view of public questions which he could not possibly have had before in public life. Relies on Cabi But the outstanding char: ristic of Mr. lidge's first two vears of | work. so far as method of adminis. tration is concerned, has heen his re llance on the members of his cabinet. They are more to him than they been 10 any President in recent y They wield mendous power few g onferences of the r|hl net have been held. Almost every dacision of policy affecting a depari-| ment of the Government has heen made as a result of the consultation by the President with one or possibly two members of his cahinet who are familiar with the subject in hand. There is no question that the heads | of the departments feel & sense of satisfaction over this method of ad ministration. The subordinates in the departments know that if recom mendation wins the approval of the head of the department it is most likely to be approved by the President and hecome a national policy Mr. Coodidge has kept in remarkably | close touch with the workings of the | Government, and while he has gone | along with his cabinet officers on many things. it is not unusual to learn of a document returned with his | disapproval and with reasons given The President takes advice readily but he does not swallow sll of it Insists on Respect. One thing that Mr. Coolidge has Insisted upon is a proper respect for the presidential office. He has not ancouraged familiarities in his triend ships, even rhough he has endeavored to be cordial. He keeps a large sized American flag on a standard at the #ide of his desk in the White House and he has similar flag at his desk here at his Summer residence. Some ane was passing the grounds of the Executive Mansion in Washington not many months azo and the President happened to he near the gate. “Hello, Cal. god morning.” was the tourist’s greeting. The President answered with 2 frigid “good morn-| ing” that must have left the visitor wondering if he hadn't overstepped the | bounds. On the stump.
