HULL IRREPLACEABLE

President Wilson's unhappy
experience with the League of
Nations manifestly made big
impression on the Assistant Sec
rotary of the Navy in the Wilson
Cabinet. 1t is one bit Of history
which Franklin D. Roosevelt has
long resolved to avoid repeating.
That resolve is likely to be the
key to the situation arising from
the resignation of Secretary Hull.
Mr.. Roosevelt believes that
Mr.. Wilson'S chief failure was in
dealing with Congress. particu-
larly the Senate. He has had his
own difficulties with Congress,
but on the question of peace
plans he has repeatedly sought
to conciliate the men whose ap.
proyal he must have for the
basic peace settlement. He has
refrained from Offering any spe-
ciic peace program as a must.
On the positive side, he has
backed Mr.. Hull's continuing
consultation on peace plans with
a bipartisan group from the Sem
ate Foreign Relations Committee.
In selecting q successor he will
certainly hope 70 find a leader
whose influence with Congress
will approach that of Mr.. Hull.
That qualification we e h
against two of the most promin-
emily mentioned possibilities Vice
President Wallace and Undersec.
rotary Stettinius. Among many
liberal Mr.. Wallace has come to
hold in the Democratic Party
something of the place of Wen
dell Willkie in the Republican.
He is warmly regarded in Latin
America and recently carried out
a diplomatic mission i n China
and Siberia. But be has incur.
red so much enmity among con-
servatives, especially in tn e
South, and has so failed to de-
velop administrative teamwork
that Mr.. Roosevelt dropped him
as a running mate in the cleo
ton.
Mr.. Stettinius. as a business
man. would have more of the
confidence of conservatives. He
has done we'll in bringing new
vigor into the administrative
end the State Department.
But he has little visible political
influence in Congress. The man
who most nearly fills h . bill
from that standpoint is former
Supreme Court Justice James F.
Byrnes. Mr.. Barnes had a long
career in Congress and is particu.
larry we'll liked by former col.
leagues in the Senate.
The problem of trying to find
someone to fill Mr.. HulPs shoes
indicates how large those shoes
are. The Secretary of State has
