formed of the Resignation
of Secretary Lansing.

WASHINGTON. Feb. H. - There
was no information available at the

at London, and Under Secretary Polk
are being discussed.
Cabinet meetings will be resumed
very soon" and as announced a few
days ago President Wilson will pre-
side. White House officials reiterated
to-day that he was making rapid
strides toward regaining his health.
All foreign Governments with which
the United States has relations were
notified by the State Department to-
day OF the resignation Of Secretary
Lansing and the fact that Under Sec
retary Frank l.. Polk is Acting Sec
retary.
Congress is without power TO in
vestigate the dismissal OF Lansing,
but it can investigate, II It wishes, the
condition of Americas foreign policy,
in the opinion of Senator Knox, him
self a former Secretary Of State.
Congress can inform itself con-
| cerning the Nations foreign policy,
but can do nothing directly about the
circumstances involved in a particular
instance" said Knox. THE conduct
OF foreign affairs is, of course, in the
Presidents hands and all that Con-
gress can do is to make an inquiry"

Foreign Affairs Committee, com
menting to-day on Secretary Lam
sings resignation said:

the House Committee on Foreign
Affairs There is nothing in the
| Constitution which prohibits mem
bers of the Presidents cabinet from
meeting and discussing any depart
mental matter. II we accept the
Presidents construction of the Con-
stitutlon, 1t would be a violation
| thereof for two of the secretaries K
hold a conference in the absence o,
the President.
Mr.. Lansing has faithfully serveC
Mr.. Wilson during both of his termi

for his rights, think the Presiden
should have asked for his resignation
