Resignation Of Secretary of State
i Follows Bitter Wrangle
With President.
OUTSTANDING STRIFE.
Executive CHARGES Secretary Usurped
Powers In Calling Cabinet Meet
inas In illness Of chief-Ex. >''
change of Letters. :rf

Washington. Lansing ended
his career as Secretary of State. after
President Wilson had accused him of
uburping the powers Of President by
calling meetings of the cabinet during
Mr.. Wilson's illness. E-.,.
Mr.. Lansing denied he had sought
or intended to usurp the presidential
authority. He added, however, that he
believed then, and still believed. that
the cabinet conferences were FOR the
best interests of the republic;" that
they we're proper and necessary" be-
cause of the Presidents condition, and
that he would have been derelict In
his duty If he ha1 failed to act as he
did.
Letter Prompted Resignation.
AS the record stands, Mr.. Lansing
offered his resignation and Mr.: Wilson
accepted it. The resignation was Of
fered, however, only after the Presi-
dent, under date Of February z, had
written asking if it were true that Mr..
Lansing had called cabinet meetings,
and stating that If such were the case
he felt it necessary to say that under
our Constitutional law and practice, as
developed hitherto, no one but the
President has the right to summon
the heads of the executive depart
ments into conference"
Mr.. Lansing answered two days Ia
ter-saying he had called the cabinet
conferences because he and others OF
the presidents official family "felt
that in view Of the fact that we were
denied communication with you, it was
wise for US to confer Informally to.
gether on matters as to which
action could not be postponed until
your medical advisers permitted you
to pass upon them"
Wilson ,"Mueh Disappointed" Il
The secretary concluded by saying
that IL the President believed he had
failed in his loyalty" to him. and II
Mr.. Wilson no longer had confidence
In him, he was ready to relieve you
Of any embarrassment by placing my
resignation in your hands" " .
The President replied that he was
much disappointed by Mr.. Lansing.
He said he found nothing in the Sec
retary's letter which justifies your
assumption OF presidential authority
In such o matter" and added that he
must frankly take advantage OF your
kind suggestion to resign. 49,
II must say" tho President contin-
ued, that It would relieve me OF
embarrassment Of feelir-: your reluc-
lance and divergence Of Judgment, II
you would give up your present Office
and afford me an opportunity to select
some one else whose mind would more
willingly 90 along with mine"
Differences Existed Long.
The differences between tho Presi-
dent long pre-dated the first cabinet
call by Mr.. Lansing, which was issued
last October s, seven days after Mr..
Wilson returned from his western,
speaking tour and took to his bed.
They began at the Peace conference
In Paris, as Mr.. Lansing disclosed in
his cnal letter to- the President. and
had continued since that time-one Of
