Garner to Be "Diplomat"
It's Unofficial and He Would Deny It-But
That's the Case.
BY WILLIAM s. WHITE.

BY WILLIAM S. WHITE.
BY the Associated Press.
TINE broad Texas grin of John N
Garner will beam out soon
from under perhaps the most
- famous bushy, white eyebrows
of his time-in the ancient cities of
the East.
The Vice President, whose influence
in the Roosevelt administration is as
potent as 1t is silent Is going to Toxic.
Shanghai and Manila at the head of
a congressional delegation. The whole
thing will be entirely unofficial. and
John N. Garner himself-never one to
beat the drums for John N. Garner
has been careful to avoid giving the
impression that he pretends to expert
knowledge on oriental affairs.
Thus, this is the position: He is
simply sailing as Mr.. Garner, bearing
no label of diplomat" and so far as
the public knows is just going for the
ride"
Others expected to make the trip,
scheduled to begin October l6 from
Seattle, Wash, are Speaker Byrns of
the House and group of Senators
and Representatives. The purpose is
to attend the Inauguration of the new
Philippine commonwealth government
in November, by invitation of Filipino
leaders. The stopovers scheduled N
Toxic and other points are described
as more or less incidental
Seeks Toxic Understanding.
Nevertheless, Uncle Sam has been
dickering with Japan in the hope OF
obtaining sort of gentleman's agree
ment for the restriction Of certain
Japanese exports to the Philippines
a prime and lately a diminished
American market Gamers call at
Toxic would not be calculated to i'm
pede these matters.
The Vice President would be aghast
at any implication that he is diplo-
mat-but perhaps he is, at that, in a
curious, blunt way. A man who makes
a 9 pm. bedtime almost a religion,
who detests both white tie and black,
whose face is Redeemed by the winds
of the cattle country and who is so
blunt it's sometimes almost painful
he presents strange contrast to
the popular picture of suave, silk
hated figure bearing a grave port
folio to a world capital.
However. in the recent session Of
Congress the Texan did tremendous
amount of quiet work for administra-
ton measures and is generally re-
garded as more responsible than any
other Capitol leader for pulling cer-
tain programs out of the fire.
Called Self "Spare Tire"
Early in the administration he re-
ferred to himself as the spare tire
Of the Government" Observers be-
lieve that expression perhaps helped
him to be a great deal more than q
spare tire-and President Roosevelt
has called Garner "Mr. Common
Sense"
1t will be the Vice Presidents first
trip to the East, and had to be al

friends do not wonder too much what
he will do If in Toxic there is a
