If the vice president should assume to act and should him. self veto a bill and at the expiration of ten days from the date of its pas sage no veto from the president him self in writing should have been re- ceived, a question would arise for the courts to determine as to the powers of the vice president to act for the presi- dent
 That these questions in the past never have arisen for actual decision is a tribute to the wisdom of our presidents in conforming with the tra- ditions of their great office, with that unbroken custom which ripens into law and in not suffering the whisperings of personal ambition to lead them to depart from the paths of accustomed action, thereby avoiding the creation of new, uncertain and perhaps dan gerous questions of constitutional right and power"

New York. Nov. 26.-George W. Wickersham. attorney general in the Taft administration, in an address here tonight before more than hun dred educators, lawyers, bankers and merchants engaged in international trade who are members of the council on foreign relations, advanced the opinion that the constitution makes 1t mandatory upon Vice President Mar shall to assume the office of president if Mir. Wilson leaves the United States 70 attend the peace conference.
 The projected journey of the presi- dent 10 France and his suggested so- iourn there for an indefinite period, said Mr. Wickersham, brings up for the first time in our history the ques- tion of the effect of such absence and of the powers of the vice president be- cause Of such absence
 The former attorney general quoted section one of article two of the nited States constitution, which, he said. prescribed the mode of procedure In event of the presidents removal from office, his death, resignation or inability to discharge the duties Of said office" He maintained that ab- sence Of the president from the seat of government and the country con stitutes an inability to discharge the powers and duties of his office" within the meaning of the law.
 According to Mir. Wickersham, the two most important functions the president has to perform in connec- ton with a session of congress, at which time, he held "it is the presi- dents duty 10 be at the seat of gov crnment" are: First, from time to me to give ot congress information of the state of the union. and recom- mend 10 their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient.' and. second, to con Fider bills which shall have passed the house of representatives and the sen ate, and, If he approve, to sign them and. If he disapprove, 10 veto them.
 The ten days provided by the law wherein the president must return hill. or it automatically becomes law according to Mir. Wickersham. was in tended Ito give citizens interested 1T the bill an opportunity of communi- eating thei rviews to him" Thus, thu president, he contended, is expected always 10 be in a position to feel thu pulse Of public sentiment" and ''if h. is not within the country he canno ftiy discharge those duties.''
 A third consideration, the speake continued. "subidiary to the other but none the less important is il reference to the exercise by the pres ident of a function in connection witt legislation. In case of disagreement between the two houses as to time O adjournment, he said, the presiden may adjourn them to such time as h shall think propet This power, h admitted. never had been exercised the past because the president alway has been at the seat of governme1 when congress was in session "an able to avert by friendly counsel an suggestion the necessity of exercisin it,"
