Under Secretary OF State Frank
Polk was today most prominently
mentioned as the successor to Secre-
tary Lansing. Mr.. Polk was at the
White House on more than one oc-
casion this week and IL is Understood
that he has been questioned as to his
Willingness 10 take up the portfolio.
There Is some doubt, however. as TO
whether Mr.. Polk would be willing TO
accept the place. as he has been snN-
ious to leave the State Department
for some time, and moreover. he has
generally been understood to have
been extremely loyal In his support OF
Mr.. Lansing in the underground per
sonsl differences that have arisen be-
tween the State Department and the
White House.
Secretary Lansing is expected to
take a long rest before he engages Ia
other activities. His health has been
poorly for several months now and he
has undergone a severe strain during
the Presidents iltnesa- The state
Department has been sadly in need OF
personnel because OF the large num-
ber OF diplomatic posts that arc va.
cant and because many OF the under
offices In the home office are also
temporarily vacant. Mr.. Polk has
been much in Paris during this year,
Assistant Secretary Phillips has been
obliged to make a trip to England be-
cause of the illness OF his mother, and
Assistant Secretary Breckinbridge
Long has been obliged by other in
terests to be away from Washington
a great deal. During these absences
Secretary Lansing has borne the en-
tire burden OF the work in the State
Department.

The resignation of Henry p.
Fletcher as ambassador to Mexico
was recalled to mind today. and 1t was
stated that this resignation was
largely due to the belief OF Mr..
Fletcher that the Secretary OF State
had, not been sufficiently supported by
the White House. There were grave
doubts Is to whether or not other
designations from the diplomatic
corps might not follow the rebuke OF
Mr.. Lansing.
Secretary Lansing follows in the
steps of William Jennings Bryan, in
that he leaves the Cabinet because of
differences with the President. For
mer Secretary of War Lindsey Gar
rison also left the Cabinet early in
the Wilson Administration because
his views were not those of the Presi-
dent.
The Lansing incident was the chief
topic of conversation here today. and
il is safe to venture that II will create
a stir that will not be forgotten for
some time. and II is predicted that
II will be made the center of much

MEATPACKER ASKS
HELP FROM PUBLIC
]. Ogden Armour Says Con-
sumner Must Aid in Restoring
Business Confidence.
Nv OGDEN ARMOUR.

There is today a new relation oe-
tween the meat packers and the pup-
lis-new in that the packers are no
longer to be purveyors or genera
food lines, and are to connne theH-
selves to the slaughtering OF 1--we
stock and to the manufacturing and
distributing of meat and by-products
and the so-caiIed dairy products.
This change In the conduct of busi-
ness is the result OF the desire on the
part of the meat packers to acquiesce
in the Government demand that
they take such action as Will Tor
ever remove any and all fear that too
great a portion OF the antion's food
supply will be handled by too Few
business firms.
The packers hoep that the new ar
rangement will not make necessary
any increase in the gross margin on
which meat is handled. 1t must be
evident, however. that some way
must be found to make up for the
loss occasioned by our getting out
OF the grocery business. III a sales
organization works only part OF the
time--as during a dull season. the
expense Of distribution Is naturally
Increased. II the withdrawal from
the grocery business makes IL impos'
sible for us to operate our plants or
refrigerator cars at or near capacity.
Il cannot help but increase our over
head charges and such increase must
necessarily be reflected in the cost OF
the product we handle.
Good will is the strongest asset OF
any business. The meat packers be-
lieve they will achieve stronger
measure Of public approval than they
have in the past. because we have dis
played-at considerable sacrifice
a willingness TO aid the Government,
producers mad consumers in any pos
sible measure designed to aid in re-
storing general cofdence during the
trying readjustment period In which
this and all other nations are found
ering.
We are going all the way with the
Government and the public, and all We
ask Is that we be accorded the con-
fidence OF the public and intelligent
consideration of the problems incl
cident to our business.
