DAWES |NS|STENT
ON CABINET STAND.
Reiterates He Will Not Sit in
Sessions, Holding Principle
Is Wrong.
Ry the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, February 5.-Gen. Charles
G. Dawes, Vice President-elec stu
adheres to his belief that Vice Presi-
dent should not sit with the Presi-
dents cabinet In answer to inquiries
yesterday the general said:
Long before my nomination or cleo
tion, and before L had any thought
that | would ever have an individual
interest in the question, ! expressed
myself to the effect that the plan of
having the Vice President sit with
the cabinet was unwise.
The cabinet and those who sit with
II should always do so at the discre-
tion and inclination of the President.
Our Constitution so intended it. The
relationship is a confidential one, and
the selection of a confidant belongs
to him who would be injured by the
abuse of confidence, however unin-
territorial. No precedent should be es-
tablished which creates a different
and arbitrary method of selection.
Should | sit in the cabinet meetings,
the precedent might prove injurious
to the country. With it fixed, some
future President might face the en-
barrassing alternative of inviting one
whom he regarded as unsuitable into
his private conferences or affront-
ing him in the public eye by denying
him what had come to be generally
considered his right.
My friendship and high respect for
President Coolidge are such that it
would be personally a pleasure to sit
with his cabinet, but I will not do SO
because in my judgment it involves
a wrong principle"
