So he can; but not without serious com- ' plications, we me afraid, lie can tell news men what to say and how to say it and what not to sav; and if thev violate his regulations, he can refuse them future admittance to ,, the weekly interviews. Hut Coolidge cannot, unfortunately a for his political standing, regulate what the public will say J,' and think of such a policy. h In spile of the fact that he is president, what he does and. what he thinks and what his policy is on vaiions subjects isj not entirely his "own show." It's very much, as a matter i of fact, the American people's show since he is their chief J executive. If they ;ue entitled to anything, they are entitled i' lo know what, that executive think-, about vat ions matters of public interest. They can be denied the information but there is daneer that I'oolide.e may also be denied their con tinued appioval and suppm t. The whole method of ha-idline. White House publicity has iK-come a farce. Any man who i.-. capable of being ptesident of this gieat nation should lie capaii'e of making public state ments thill can be quutid, should l-e capable of convincing the public that those statements aie .-in. vie and are rcpio senlative of a heai t-IVIt intele.il in the ration's welfare.
