Representative Halleck Of Indiana,

This action makes Willkie the logi-

Others, however, took q very Diff

that President Roosevelt is leading
the United States into war. What

Taft Hits Administration
Senator Taft of Ohio, one OF the
leading contenders for the presi-
DENTAL nomination, said in a radio
speech last night:
IF we had had able Secretaries
of the War and Navy, presumably
we would have made more progress
toward preparedness.
THE appointment of Mr.. Stimson
and Col. Knox represents a great
improvement, but they apparently
were selected largely because they
lean toward Intervention in the war.
Their selection, as Senator Wheeler
said in the Senate. indicates that
the Democratic party is rapidly be-
coming the war party.
"Of course, their appointment
does not make this a coalition cabi-
net or bring about political unity,
because they do not represent the
Republican party or its views. They
accepted their appointment con-
trary to the advice Of the party
leaders - leaders whose position
against q coalition Government in
time Of peace Is well known.
Again q vitality important step
seems to be dictated by other con-
stderations than national defense"
Gov. Arthur H. James Of Penn

the presidential nomination COM
mented as follows:
I'm the international dilemma
into which President Roosevelt has
projected this Nation it is well that
he has finally recognized the in
competency Of those who had

If time proves to be well ground

that these two new cabinet officers
already are committed to interna-
tionalism and war, then it can only
be said that they will both be more
at home among the New Dealers
than ~ the Republican party.

party OF tnlS country ana we may
accept that issue at its face value.
THE statement which I have
issued is a very moderate one in
tone, I think, and I trust it will have
the approval of this committee"
On motion of Edward F. Colladay,
Republican national committeeman
for the District of Columbia, the
committee voted its approval with
roar. Mr.. Colladay, in making the
motion, called attention to the fact
that the national committee is the
governing body of the Republican
party in between the party's ma
tional conventions.
Mr.. Hamilton said he had been
Informed over the telephone by c. B.
GoodSpeed, treasurer of the national
committee, that Col. Knox had re-
signed as delegate at large from
Illinois to the coming Republican
National Convention. The an
nouncement was received with ap-
plause, showing the temper of the
committee members. Indeed, before
1t was learned that Col. Knox had
taken himself out of the Illinois
delegation, there was discussion
among Republicans here over the
possibility of barring him from the
national convention as a delegate.
Forecasts Strong Plank.
One important reaction to the
Presidents attempted coalition"
cabinet was to make it quite cer-
tain the Republican national plat
form will contain a strong plank
opposed to intervention in the Euro
pean war. It was prophesied by i'm
portant leaders here such would be
the case. Doubt was expressed that
the platform would contain any
mention of aid to the Allies-or that
the Allies would be mentioned by
name. Undoubtedly, however, ef-
forts will be made by several men,
bers of the Resolutions Committee,
now at work on the platform, to
write into it pledge of some form
of assistance to Britain and France
III their war with Germany and
Italy.
Chxrges that the Presidents an
pointment of two Republicans to his
cabinet at this time was purely
politics" flew thick and fast. The
Republicans made it abundautly
clear that they were opposed to any
kind of coalition" government,
especially as America Is not now
at war.
The Republican party will become
the peace party'-and the Demo-
cratic party will be labeled the war
party" if they have their way.
An intraparty effect of the Presi-
dents appointment of Col. Knox
and Mr.. Stimson to the cabinet was
a reaction against the Wendell L.
Willkie boom for the Republican
presidential nomination. Comment
was to the effect that Mr.. Willkie
has given President Roosevelt's for
elgn policy-as it relates to the war
abroad-too much praise. It was
said also that many of Mr.. WILKES
hackers in New York and elsewhere
are among those who go along with
the President and Col. Knox and
Mr.. Stimson in their views on inter-
vention. And finally, since the Re-
publicans are opposed to coalition"
government as practiced by Mr..
Roosevelt, Col. Knox and Mr.. Stim-
son, they have no intention of at
tempting a coalition government Of

However, the need Of Republi-

Mr.. Landon paid tribute to Mr..
Stimson and to Col. Knox. He said:
Mr.. Stimson and Col. Knox have
followed their own best judgment
and conscience.
Il wish them well and I hope they
have not been misled in such assur-
ances as must have been given them
regarding the third-term movement.
THE country is to be congratu-
lated that Mr.. Roosevelt has taken
action to repair two weak and vital
positions in our national defense"
Declined Post Last Winter.
Col. Knox was Mr.. Landon's
running mate in 1886. He was
offered the job of Secretary of the
Navy by Mr.. Roosevelt last winter
and declined. A few weeks ago an
other offer was made, and his Re-
publican friends persuaded him that
1t would be mistake to accept.
In New York; former President
Herbert Hoover issued the following
statement: "Messrs. Stimson and
Knox are. of course, entering the
cabinet to give personal service and
not representing the Republican
party. There is no question of
coalition involved. It has no effect
upon the 1910 campaign. The ma
tlonal issues remain exactly where
they were."
Henry p. Fletcher of Rhode
Island, former G. o. p. national
chairman and at one time q Rough
Rider under the command of the
late President Theodore Roosevelt,
said:
Knox and Stimson were the
lowest and last privates in the
Rough Riders. We knew all along
they stood for Intervention"

Senator Bridges said:
"Col. Frank Knox and former
Secretary of State Stimson, who
have been selected as Secretaries
Of the Navy and War, respectively,
are two very able men. My assoc
citation with Col Knox over q long
period Of years has given me a very
high regard for him personally and
confidence that in any job that he
Is given he will do it ably and well.

Should the President not decline

and Mr.. Stimson will be left in an

When Mr.. Landon came to WASH

him no offer Of a cabinet post. The

candidate for the presidential NOM

The reactions to the Presidents
appointment of his new War and
Navy Secretaries was immediate and
passionate among the Republican
leaders here. Not only were they
denounced as traitors to the G..
o. p, but they were read out OF the
party.
Interrupting its consideration of
delegate contest cases yesterday
afternoon the Republican National
COMMITTEES voted unanimously its
approval Of a statement issued by
National Chairman John Hamilton,
In which he said:
"The action which has been
taken by Col. Knox and Mr.. Slim
son in associating themselves with
the present national administration
rs members of the Presidents cabi-
net Is purely personal on their
part. Every individual has the right
to serve the state and the Gov
ernment in such a way and in such
circumstances as he sees fit.
"As members of the Presidents
cabinet they owe their allegiance to
the President and hereafter will
speak and act in that capacity. Col.
Knox's and Mr.. Stimson's desire for
American Intervention in European
affairs is so well known that their
appointment speaks for ITSELF"
Before he read this statement to
the committee, Chairman Hamilton
said he had consulted Republican
leaders of the House and Senate
and other party leaders about it
and that ut was issued as result
of my talks with them" He con-
tinued: This statement is issued
for twofold purpose, the first is
that these gentlemen, having en-
tered the cabinet of the President
Of the United States, are no longer
qualified to speak as Republicans, or
for the Republican party.
Sees "War Party" Proof.
The second portion of the state
ment is directed to the thought that
both Col. Knox and Mr.. Stimson
have long desired to intervene in
the affairs of Europe; that the
Democratic party, now by their very
appointment, has become the war
