TAFT SAYS PEOPLE
STAND BY LANSING

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Feb. 15.-The
people of the United States side with
former Secretary of State Robert
Lansing in his calling the Cabinet to
meet during the Presidents illness,
according to william Howard Taft,
former President. He said:
"Such a case wherein difficulties
such as this arise, is greatly to be re-
GREETED. When there are any differ.
ences such as there seems to be be-
tween the President and Mr.. Lansing.
there seems to be only one thing to
do-to quit.
"As to the merits OF the case, that
il another matter. To my mind there
Is no question as to the merits of the
case. ] believe that Mr.. Lansing was
acting altogether within his rights in
calling conferences of the Cabinet
members. I would not call them Cabi-
net meetings.
ITO my mind such meetings do not
constitute an assumption of Presi-
Dental authority within the mean
ing OF the case"

REDF|ELD DEFENDS
I LANS|NG'S COURSE
Former Secretary Of Commerce
Asserts President Knew Of
Cabinet Meetings.

NEW YORK. Feb. 15.-Former
Secretary of Commerce william G.
Redneld. who retired from President
Wilson's Cabinet September o. 1918.
for reasons described as pecuniary.
expressed his belief last night that
the informal Cabinet meetings did not
form the real reason for the request
by President Wilson that Secretary
OF State Lansing should resign.
He declared the President had
knowledge OF the frst informal meet
ings. and no open expression OF his
disapproval had ever been received.
Mr.. Redneld said:
"The request for Secretary Lans-
ins's resignation was n great sur
prise and shock to me. I was present
at the nrst meeting of-the Cabinet
under Mr.. Lansing. The members
present sent word TO Mr.. Wilson
through DIR. Grayson that they were
meeting. and expressed hope that tho
President would have a speedy re-
covery.
Admiral Grsyson brought back an
inquiry from Mr.. Wilson as to what
business was in hand, and the Cabinet
members replied that they had met in
conference to determine their duty
In view OF his disability.
mo worn Oh uisdpproNdi OF our
meeting ever came from the White
House to the best of my knowledge.
II Is astonishing TO learn now of the
Presidents dtSapproval. The Cabinet
gatherings were voluntary, informal.
and, to my mind, necessary, II the
nations business was TO proceed regu-
larIy and with Intelligent knowledge
of progress made.
81 believed then, and still do, that
II was our duty. nothing more nor
less, to. meet as we did. To my
knowledge, there was never the faint
est suggestion In word or spirit that
the Cabinet members were trying to
do anything except help the President
during his illness as far as we were
able"

Representative Luther w. Mott
(Rep.) of New York. introduced in
the House ,ate yesterday a concur
rent resolution expressing the regret
of Congress at the resignation OF Sec
rotary of Stale Lansing and disap-
proving of the attitude of President
Wilson toward the retiring member
of the Cabinet.
Mr.. Mott represents Mr.. Lansing 8
hame city of WATERFOWL, and was for
four years a member of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee, having
been transferred at the beginning of
the present Congress to the Ways
and Means Comittee.
The differences between Lansing
and the President are said to date
back to the time when the two were
| in Paris as peace commissioners.
Lansing's friends say Wilson soon
left the Secretary with no real part
| in the peace parleys, and came very
| close to openly suubbing him. The
Presidents friends say Wilson was
disappointed in Lansing. whom he
appointed because he regarded him as
one of the country's foremost inter-
national law experts.
When Wilson returned from his
| first trip to Paris, leaving Lansing as
head of the American peace delega-
ton the story of differences between
the two were generally put down. as
mere rumors. But they como again
in Increasing number when Wilson e
turned to Paris.

FLETCHER GOES TO
PENNSYLVANIA HOME


Henry p. Fletcher, who resigned
suddenly a few days ago as ambassa-
dor to Mexico, shook the dust of the
State Department yesterday from his
feet and left for his home in Penn
sylvania.
1t is now evident that Secretary Of
State Lansing and Mr.. Fletcher were
both regarded as assuming Presiden-
tial prerogatives when they agreed
on and sent a stif note TO Mexico
demanding the release of w. o. Jen-
kins. a consular agent, who was be-
ing prosecuted by the Mexican courts
o. justice
The note was Substantially repu..
dated by tho .PresideHt. who sum-
marily took the Jenkins case out Of
the hands of Mr. Fletcher and Mr..
Lansing, with the result that Mexico's
next act was to cancel Mr.. Jenkins
credentials as an official of the United
States Government.
1t is not unlikely that Mr.. Fletcher
may make some speeches in the Presi-
Dental campaign. He was a very
popular official with Americans in
Washington.
