Calvin Coolidge

I want to see it developed to the fullest extent.

I haven't been inclined to favor it.

I think it will work out rather satisfactorily.

So I don't think it is a real criticism that although we have spent a great deal of money we have not accomplished altogether results on the practical side.

It is still in its experimental stage.

I think the general policy of Government administration at the present time is unification, rather than the establishment of new and independent services.

I don't know that I have any mature views about the proposal to create a unified and independent Air Service.

I am trying to get a man who especially represents agriculture and who is sympathetic with the cooperative movement.

No, I don't think the views of Mr. Hearst and Mr. Sykes, of Iowa, who came in this morning relative to the appointment of a new Secretary of Agriculture, caused any delay, because I found they were in practical harmony with my own views.

I want all the newspapermen to come.

I don't know just what you mean by relaxation.

Warning is hereby given to all unauthorized persons not to appropriate, cut, injure, destroy, deface, or take away any trees or any other property on said lands, or to occupy, settle, or locate upon any lands reserved by this proclamation.

I don't know as I can quite say that I have been assured of any Congressional action on agricultural legislation at this session.

I don't know any way that America could cooperate in that.

I don't think I can make any comment relative to the proposals of the French and German Governments for a security pact [the Locarno Agreements] for the guarantee of European peace.

It seems to me that it is almost entirely a European political subject in which we can't take any very helpful part.

NO. AS I say, it is a general suggestion of what has to be met and an effort that the heads of the departments have to be constantly engaged in, otherwise the departments will be loaded up with a great many more people than is necessary…

It is with a good deal of difficulty that they are discharged.

I haven't any specific plan for the reduction of personnel in the clerical forces of the District of Columbia.
