REASON STATEMENT
DID NOT SATISFY
DISCLAIMS PROBABILITY OF
ANOTHER ARMS CONFER
ENCE, GENEVA
RAPID CITY, S. D„ Aug. 11. (/P)—
President Coolidge’s no means NO.
The President declared he saw no
reason why his original statement
did not satisfy. There was a touch
of informality about the conference
with the President but there was no
| doubt ,he was in earnest concerning
his plans for private life in the fu_
ture.
While the President said there
was nothing definite in his plans
they certainly entailed his leaving,
jthe Presidential chair on March 4,
1929. That appeared to be sufficient,
his mind concerning the Presidency
Additional proof that he has made up
was contained in the statement in
which he disclaimed the probability
of another Arms Conference being
called during his regime. He de
i dared there would probably not be
sufficient time left for another parley
