A Cabinet In Advance

A fantasy in American politics is
offered for whatever it is worth by
Erwin d. Canham, Washington cor
respondent of The Christian Science
Monitor, in the suggestion that one
or both Of this years presidential
nominees present to the country we'll
in advance OF election day their slate
of cabinet officers.
Canham'S suggestion arises from
what he calls the entire probability
that certainly one, possibly both,
candidates will be lacking in general
national experience. 1t is most like
ly that the Republican choice will be
newcomer to power and respon-
sibility in the national scene.
The suggestion is given that nam
ing of a tentative cabinet slate dur
ing the campaign would enable the
voters to make Il better choice. Ger
tainly one more to their liking.
Canham, moreover, goes step
further and names d non-partisan or
coalition cabinet to work with a
Republican president, should one be
successful in November.
For secretary of state. Herbert
Hoover of California. is suggested
because Of his experience in do
mestic and world affairs. Leon
Fraser, of New York. would be sec
rotary Of the treasury, since he is Il
prominent financier and former head
of the Bank for International Settle
ments in Basel. For secretary of
war would be Col. Frank Knox, of
Illinois, former roush-rider and
G.. O. P. running mate Of ALI Landon
in 1886. The nations leading wo-
man lawyer. Judge Florence Allen of

postmaster general is suggested Sen
ator Carl n. Hatch, Of New Mexico;
for secretary OF the navy, Governor
Leverett SalStonStall, OF MaSsachu-
sets: secretary Of the interior, All

agriculture, Governor Harold +.

bridge between government and bus
mess" secretary Of labor, Senator
Charles L. McNary, Of Oregon,
whose state and region are very
mature in labor relations, who is L
mid-roader bringing to labor no
prior commitments"
The suggestions are not Our own,
but are those Of man who long
has viewed and been familiar with
the Washington scene. 1t is L new
kind OF thinking, and stimulates
more thinking.
OF course, the scheme, like most
such connections, has lis advantages
and its drawbacks. To Oe said IN
its favor is the fact that ability
would be sought rather than merely
the evening OF political debts. That
IN itself, however, from the Candl-
dates own standpoint, would cause
some embarrassment later. The
SusgeStcd cabinet slate consists
mostly OF Republicans and is offer
ed for consideration OF Republican
candidate. y different panel, and
with equally Us much ability, coula
be t,lmped up for the use Of Il
Democratic nominee.
The important aspect OF the think
mo is not 4 matter OF personnel SO
much rs OF something new in plan
and procedure. one OF It's faults.
no matter on which side the polltI-
cal fence it were worked. would be
that naming OF such 4 cabinet slate
in advance might repcl about as
much electoral support as it would
attract.
Another thing is that neither
party is willing to accept reSpon-
SiBility tor running the country by
4 group Of men no. wholly OF its
own faith and precepts. Ana they
can hardly be blamed for that.
There is no probability that either
nominee will accept the
correspondents suggestion. So there
is no need for generating excessive
heat and excitement on the subject.
Whatever the objections. though.
there is an element OF merit to it.
