CODLDEESLENCE LAD T0CAUTON President’s Inscrutability Credited to Consciousness of His Big Responsibilities. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Although the country has had three ‘ears in which to get acqualnted with Calvin Colidge, few of - those who have seen him close-up will concede that they understand his inscrutable yersonality. 1f it is suegested, for instance, that Mr. Coolidge s uncommunicative, there are dozens of callers:who have spent & half hour -or more with him who can testify that he has monopo- lized the conv fon. If it is con- tended that he is cold and seclusive, then may it be recor persons have been invited to bre: bread with Mr. Coolidge than with President p nee the days William How: % Mr. Coolidge has ut himself in.

But in any ho have talked ge will concede that ve heard him express , they have learned merely at st hand what he has been saying v preaching in public speeches or in conferences with public men as re- ported in the press. In other words, Mr. Coolidge never throws off the business aspect of his life, end in ths respect there probably are thousands of men in private life who parallel him—they eat, think and dream their business affairs.

He likes fishing because it is carried on in solitude. For the art of companion- ip is not one of Mr. Coolidge’s ng points. » He likes to have people about him and yet does not like to feel a re- sponsibility for entertaining them or unfolding his mind. People like to hear Presidents gossip. They like to ®eo Presidents off their guard. Many indiscreet statements have been « uttered in unguarded moments at the White House in the past. Mr. Coolldge is inscrutable because he is never off his guard. He is al- ways mindful that he is in politics and that he is vested with an incom- parable responsibility.

I probably will sail from Cherbourg, and hope to get back to the United States about September 15.” Mr. Mellont said he was having an enjoyalille vacation despite the journal- istic bombardment to which he has been subjected. CHURCHILL IS DEFENDED, LONDON, August 4 (#).—Foreign Secretary Sir Austen Chamberjain to- day supported the “very temperate ind very courteous explanation” re- cently made in the House of Commons by Chancellor of the —Exchequer Churchill regarding ‘‘the circum- stances in which and the purpose for which the Lritish government bor- rowed money from the United States Government after the entry of the United States into the war.” The foreign secretary made his reference to Mr. Churchill's explana- tion during the debate on the Anglo- American debt settlement. The debate was initiated by Capt. William Wedgwood Benn, Liberal, who declared he thought it ‘‘unfor. tunate that the chancellor of the chequer, in defiance of propriety, w drawn into controversy with Mr. Mel- lon (the American Secretary of the and_that afterward he ast a. challenge to Senator Capt. Benn thought the people of England did not want to go to Amer- ica and ask to be let off from their debt. He asserted that in recent years causes of misunderstanding between America and England had been re- moved, notably by the Washington agreement, the Irish settlement and the liquor negotiations. Hope for Amity Voiged. The foreign secretary joined with Capt. Benn in the hope that the friend- ship of the two great nations would not be impaired by “an ill-tempered or injidicious public_controversy At the outset Sir Austen said he was glad to notice that (‘BL)L Benn had found nothing to which™ to take exception in Mr. Churchill's explana- tion to the house regarding the cir- cumstances under which Great Britain had borrowed from America. “A statement,” he continued, “was attributed, rightly or wrongly, to the Secrotary of the American Treasury Which wholly or largely misrepresent- ed the character of our borrowings and the purposes to which they were applied. p“‘)l,\' right honorable friend (Mr. Churchill) thought, and thought rightly, that it was not in the interest of good relations that such an im- pression should arise, or should be given currency and freedom because no notice was taken, and he accord- ingly stated the facts correctly. . Denies Terms Protested. “Mr. Churchill never complained and made it clear that he did not complain of the terms of the settle- ment to which we agreed with the United States. Capt. Benn is right in saying that we borrowed money from phe United States for the pur- poses’ of a war in which they and we were engaged, and that we gave our promise to pay the United States Government. “There is not a man in this coun- try, I am confident, who, if he had to decide the question, ‘Shall I honor the promise of my country when I am called upon to do so?" would not have replied as Premier Baldwin and his government of that day did. ‘Of course, Great Britain will honor its word. We will settle the debt which we_incurred.’ " % PAID ON SAVINGS DEPOSITS MORRIS PLAN BANK Under Supervision U. 8. Treasury 1408 H ST. N. W.

Prof. C. H. Peake of Columbia Uni- versity maintained that Chinese shrewdness, rather than Russian malice, was the basis of the boy- eott. The British, he said, have placed too much blame on the Bol- sheviks. “When the British realize that the boycott arises out of Chinese nation- alism, then they will be able to understand the issues involved,” sald Prof. Peake. “In the boycott, the Chinese have used the Bolshe- viks because of the clever technique }hey had devised to combat imperial- sm.” Watch Snatched on.

Danilel Yates, colored, 49 years old, 735 S street, told police that three colored men stopped him in an alloy between Seventh and Eighth streets, Q street and Rhode Island avenue, last night and snatched his watch, worth $65.
