My Dear Mr.. Secretary:
am very much disappointed by
your letter of February 8 in reply
to mine asking about the So called
cabinet meetings. You kindly ex-
plain the motives Of these meet
ings, and find nothing in your
letter which justifies your assump-
tion OF presidential authority in
such a matter. You say you "felt
that, in view Of the fact that you
were denied communication with
me, 1t was wise to confer informal
ly together on interdepartmental
matters and matters as to which
action could not be postponed until
my m edical advisers permitted me"
to be seen and consulted. but I
have to remind you, Mr.. Secretary,
that no action could be taken with
out me by the cabinet, and there
fore there could have been no dis
advantage in awaiting action with
regard to matters concerning
which action could not have been
taken without me.
This affair. Mr.. Secretary. only
deepens a feeling that xas grow
ing upon me. While we were still
in Paris I ~elt, and have felt in
creaSingly ever since, that you ac-
cepted my guidance and direction
on questions with regard to which
had to instruct you only with in
creasing reluctance, and since my
return to Washington have been
struck by the number, Of matters
in which you have apparently tried
to forestall my judgment by forpu-
lating action and merely asking
my approval when it was impos-
sible for me to form an independ-
ent judgment because I had not
had an opportunity to examine the
circumstances with any degree of
independence.
I. therefore, feel that must
frankly take advantage Of your
kind suggestion that If should
prefer to have another to conduct
our foreign affairs you are ready
to relieve me Of any embarrass-
ment by placing your resignation
in my hands. for must say that it
would relieve me Of embarrass-
nent, Mr.. Secretary, the embar-
rassment Of feeling your reluctance
and divergence Of judgment, il
you would give your present office
up and AFFORD me an opportunity to
select someone whose mind would
more willingly go along with mine,
I need not tell you with what re-
1uctance I take advantage Of your
suggestion. or that do so with the
kindliest feeling. In matters of
transcepdent importance like this

Ny dear Mr.. President:
1t is true that frequently during
YOUR illness I requested the heads OF
the executive departments OF the gov
ernment to meet for informal com
ference.
Shortly after you were taken Ill in
October certain members OF the cab
met, of which was one, felt that. in
view Of the fact that We were denied
communication with you. it was wise
for us to confer informally together
on interdepa rtmental matters and
the matters as to which action could
not be postponed until your medical
advisers permitted you to pass upon
them. Accordingly, I. as the rank
ing member. requested the members
of the cabinet to assemble for such
informal conference and in view OF
the mutual benefit derived the prac-
tice was continued. / can assure you
that it never for moment entered
my mind that / was acting unconsti-
tutionally or contrary to your wishes,
and there certainly was no intention
on my part to assume powers and
exercise functions which, under the
Constitution, are exclusively condded
to the President
During these troublous times when
many difficult and vexatious Ques-
tions have arisen and when in the
circumstances 1 have been deprived
of your guidance and direction, it has
been my constant cndeavor to carry
out your policies as I understood
them and to act in all matters as
I believed you would wish me to act
If, however. you think that I have
failed in my loyalty to you and il
you no longer have confidence in me
and prefer to have another conduct
our foreign affairs, am. Of course,
ready, Mr.. President, to relieve you
Of any embarrassment by placing
my resignation in your hands
I am, as always,
Faithfully yours,
ROBERT LANSING.
