Official Announcement Regarding Trip

there is no special significance in the fact

Secretary Longs Views.

Secretary Longs view of the announce
ment is as follows: II think the President
by this act has given another evidence of
his wisdom and patriotism. l am satisfied
that personally he did not desire nor would
have been willing to accept third term
After eight years of the burdens and re-
spOns;bilties of office he looks forward to
the relief of private life. AS a matter of
principle and conviction also he would not
accept a third term and has evidently felt
it his duty to confirm the traditions of his
country in this respect. This action of his,
l believe, will do more than anything else
can do to settle this question for all
time. The whole thing is another evidence
of the Presidents S right mindedness, disin-
terestedness and entire conservation to the
best interests of his country and to the
obligations of his great trust"
