Editorial Opinion on Lansing
Resignation Comments on
Wilson's Broad, Powers.

LONDON, Feb. 1o-Editorial writ
ers in the London papers CONNER ting
on the forced resignation OF Secretary
Lansing taunt the United States as
an example OF Presidential absolut-
ism. The Westminster Gazette says:
The dismissal OF Mr.. Lansing Is a
dramatic Illustration OF the peculiar
power assigned to the President by
the American Constitution 1t has
been said that European monsrchs
contemplating his large prerogstiyes
have been conscious OF a comic opera
element In the American denunciation
OF monarchic tyranny,
"Mr. Lansing appears to have ap-
piled on his own account what has
been described as the American. prin-
ciple OF government management
while the President Insists that mo-
nopoly is the ideal. The President
more readily recalls a European mon.
arch OF the eighteenth century than
any modern constitutional potenate
and Americana. IL seems. are becom.
ing alive to this"
The Pail Mall Gazette says: "The
present quarrel Is probably a prelude
to piquant historical revelations. The
American President holds one Of the
most untrammeied positions In mod.
ern politics. and can follow his own
inclinations more closely than any
surviving crowned sovereign.
Wilson has lately been gravitatins
toward splendid isolation upon some
OF the most important subjects. The
majority of the Senate and lower
house OF Congress Is unsympathetic
toward him, and the most Influential
members OF his own party are in.
clined to separate from him. This
means the end OF the treaty deadlock

there is nothing further from hi.
mind than to sink to a cipher. His
self-assertion energies all the strong.

IDENTIFY he is going to take up again
the reins of government in a spirit
that will not parley with the oppo.
sition. Judging by these symptoms

relied with Colonel House. his close

dared to show initiative during the
Presidents trip 20 America In Febru-
airy. Il was inevitable that Mr.. Wilson
shoull fall out with Secretary or State
Lansing later on.
Diplomats and politicians were OF
the opinion that Secretay LAnsing's
conduct OF affairs at Washington dur
ing the Presidents illness was con-
stitutionally wrong. but morally
right and that the Secretary OF State
has been made a victim OF the Presi-
dents professional mind and dieta-
torial methods under which only pup
pets are able TO serve. The belief
was expressed that the incident 10
bound further to undermine Mr.. VIII
sons standing In Europe.
II is recalled that during the peace
conference the British delegation, as
a result OF inside Information from
American Headquarters In the Hotel
Crlllon. came to regard Mr.. Lansing
as a victim OF one-man government
The American Secretary OF state was
unwilling to voice an opinion OF MS
own, and cut ridiculous ngure along
side the forcefui. free-mindel dele
gates of the other peoples. When he
was left at the head of the American
commission after President Wilson 8

acted as telephone between Paris and
Washington. .-
II must refer the matter to the
President" was the Secretary's In
variable reply to all proposals OF the
Big Four. The President demolished
all attempts Of Colonel House and Mr..
Lansing to solve the Adriatic prob
lem. and Mr.. Polk. the under secre-
tary Of state. who succeeded Mr.. Lans-
Ing, was bound hand and foot by
Washington during the most impor-
tant periods of the Hungarian nego-
tiations. >
These conditions were frequently
commented upon by British officials
who foresaw that disruption OF the
Wilsonian band was inevitable when
the Presidents health broke down.
