SAYS SPRESIDENT
SHOULD HAVE
ASSISTANT
By B. 9. FORBES

The United states should have
an assistant president. clothed
with powers to handle. under the
direction Of the President. many
OF the routine matters which now
consume much Of the Chief Execu-
tive,s time.
CONGRESS should take lesson
from business In this matter.
President Coolidge declares "the
duties OF the Presidency are ex.
ceedingIy heavy. The responsible.
tiles are overwhelming
WIt "a or course, obvious that
the President should not burden
himself with details. Those
should be attended to by his de-
partments and his office staff.
He should not do any work that
he can have done BY others.
such energy az he has should Be-
directed not 50 much toward
doing work as making certain
that the work Is being well
done"
His suggestion that a summer
White House be established with
in automobile distance Of Wash.
ington Is good as far as II goes.
But 1t does not 70 nearly far
enough.
Provision should be made to
iighten the routine tasks of the
President. III should not be diE.
ffcuIt to induce Congress to pass
legislation providing for the cree
alton OF the office OF assistant
70 the President Wide latitude
should be allowed the Chief Ex-
ecutive In determining just what
duties should be performed BY
his assistant.
"The United States Is the bis.
gest business I'm the world, it IL
now often said. Well, what have
other large businesses found Il
necessary TO do? Many OF thenls
having discovered that there were
more executive duties 10 do than
any one man could attend to-
have created supplementary posi-
tiong. Nearly all gigantic organs.
zations have. fn addition TO
president. b chairman or the
board. Many have an executive
vice president. exercising very
wide powers. And. OF course, vice
presidents have become universal
In companies Ia magnitude.
The business world has had
many Instances OF chief execu-
tfves killing themselves BY over
work. At. this moment not IA few
presidents Of corporations and il.
stitutinns are suffering from merry.
Gus breakdowns, due TO overstraif.
Boards Of directors. however, are
now awake to the Importance OF
doing everything practicable to
preserve the health Of their chief
executive.
Should "the biggest business In
the world" neglect to take this
same precaution?
