IT may seem an anomalous circumstance
that in the present national crisis the At

the Vice-President or the Secretary OF State
who is next in line. should assume command
OF the government forces and should take
upon himself the enormous responsibility in
volyed in combating the strike oil coal
miners
In ordinary times the chief law officer OF
the government does not deal with questions
OF policy. He deals with law issues with
violations, with court proceedings and with
matters judicial that involve the government
But by peculiar combination OF circum-
stances, Mr. Palmer has become the actual
mead OF the government. and, big as the job
is, he has not been frightened by it or has
sought TO get from under" the heavy load
which his associates have imposed upon him.

And it rested there not because the Attor-
