Lane Declares That Secretary
Lansing Not All to Blame

sion. for none Of the members knew
the extent OF the presidents Illness
but expected to be informed OF It.
Secretary Tumulty has informed the
president that Mr.. Lansing had called
the cabinet together. and the presi-
dent somewhat disturbed, gave his
personal physician message to de-
lllver to the secretaries.
The secretaries assembled at their
usual places that day and Mr.. Lans-
ling sent for DIR. Grayson. The presi-
dents chair at the head of the table
was left vacant until the physician ar
rived and he was asked to occupy IT,.
Meeting Caused Tilt.
"Dr. Grayson," Secretary Lansing IS
reported to have said by those who
were present, I'VE wishto know the ma
ture and extent Of the president NJ
ness and whether he is able to per-
form the duties Of his office. 50 that
we may determine what shall be done
to carry on the business of the gov
ernment"
The presidents physician is quoted
by some of the other secretaries as
having replied in substance:
'sThe president is doing as well as
could be expected; he is in full pos
session Of all his faculties. and he has
directed me to inquire of you by wnas
authority this cabinet was called, what
business is before 1t and what business
/. is expected might be transacted at a
cabinet meeting without his participa-
ton"
According to the story told at the
time. Secretary Lansing had no oppor-
tunity to reply because some of the
other members stepped into the
breach and asked Dr. Grayson to say
to the president that the only purpose
of the meeting was to inquire the state
OF his health and to send him mes
sage of loyalty and encouragement. At
that point the meeting broke up with
out having transacted any business,
but 1t did not end the so-called cabi-
net conferences.
1t has not been made plain whether
President Wilson knew since then that
the cabinet members had been assem-
bling and talking over inter-depart-
mental afafirs but the meetings maze
been hel din the cabinet room in the
executive offices and If the president
did not know It probably was because
those surrounding him did not think
II wise to tell him.
Wilson Not Advised.
The best opinion of those "on the
IN side" is that the president did not
know until last week Of the regularity
with which the cabinet was meeting
at the call Of the secretary Of state be-
cause at about the time at which the
presidents first letter to MIR Lansing
ls dated, the White House offices "let
1t be- known that the president had
ended the cabinet conference and there
was an Inference that he might pre-
side at the next one himself. There
was, however, no hint that the ending
OF the meetings marked a separation
between Mr. Wilson and Mr. Lansing.
Now that the break has come and
! MIR Lansing has left the cabinet, much
may be revealed of the extent to which
Capital journal. (Salem, Or.) 1919-1980, 1920-02-14

the secretary Of state and the presi.
dent differed in matters Of policy
Quite aside from the differences at the
peace conference. there were other d.r-
ferences in foreign policy. and some OF
Mr.. Lansing's friends say he would
have left his office some time age
but for the fact that he wished 20
spare the president an upheaval in his
official family at a time when Europe
was watching the fight over the treaty
in American and especially when the
president was III and unable to LOOK
after the affairs of the sttae depart
ment himself.
Mr.. Lansing became head Of the
state department when William J. Bry-
an and the president had their differ
ences over the Lusitania notes. Mr..
Lansing was counsellor, an office in
which ne had succeeded John Bassett
Moore. 1t has been common knowl-
edge that while Mr.. Lansing's name
was signed to the succeeding notes to
Germany and the notes which preced-
ed the armistice, Mr.. Wilson wrote
them himself. in fact. he practically
acted as secretary of state in all inn
portant business. 1t was the presl-
dents conception of his relation to the
foreign policy of the nation.
Mexican Differences Unknown.
How much Mr.. Lansing and the
president differed on the Mexican poll
icy has never been fully revealed. but
officials who sympathize with Mr..
Lansings views say that they differed
great deal. 1t has generally been
believed in official circles here that
the sharp notes which Mr.. Lansing
sent to Carranza in connection with
the Jenkins case are what the presi-
dent referred to in his letter to the
secretary when he spoke of the secre-
terry of state having taken action to
forestall his judgment. 1t is known.
however, that Henry Prather Fletcher.
former ambassador to Mexico, who re-
Gently resigned wrote letter to the
president i'm which he excoriated the
aGministration's Mexican policy, and
the general belief in the state depart
ment is that Mr. Lansing and Mr..
Fletcher agreed pretty generally. Mr..
Fletchers letter of resignation never
has been given out at the White House.
Put aside from his difficulties with the
president, it has been common knowl-
edge in Washington that Mr.. Lansing
has not been on good terms with Sec
retary Tnmulty and from time to t...,-
there hav been apparently well ground
ed reports of friction with Secretarie:

Mr.. Lansing. obviously in verl

party who knew the workings OF tho
presidents mind expected to see the
secretary's resignation asked for when
the president returned to Washington.
THESE same officials believe now that
the breakdown which sent the presi
dent home a very sick man was the
only thing which prevented IT,
Mfr. Lansing, however, never saw
tie president again. and d.d all his
business with the chief executive In
writing. The relations between the
men remained very much strained. and
then Mr. Lansings action IN calling the
cabinet together brought them to the
breaking point
Those who were present at the first
cabinet meeting describe rather tense
ana dramatic scene Congress was
ful Of rnmors that the president was
so disabled as to be consatutlonaiiy
unable to discharge the functions OF
his office. There was talk of what
might be done to place Vice President
Marshall at the head of the govern

There were even ugly rumors that the
president might not be in possess,u

were even contemplating some action
to find out whether we have presi-
dent or not "as one" of their number
put Il. These ugly stories were, OF
course, all disposed of and shown to be
pure and hnfouhded gossip by the
later development. but they were be-
ing circulated and widely credited last
November when the cabinet assembled
for its first conference at the call of
Secretary Lansing.
