publicly, say that the winner had
come in without benefit of your as
sistance. leaving you under some
slight suspicion OF having been for
the other fellow all the time; say
that, being a big-hearted and gen
erous person, you were prepared to
forgive and forget, ready to pitch In
and help the administration do the
various jobs which, as you had clear
" indicated during the campaign, 1t
was not quite competent to do 1t
self; and say you had decided In
your own mind just how to reorgan-
ize the administration. particularly
lust who should be eliminated and
who should take their places; here S
how you should not go about achiev-
ing your purpose:
First on your purge list, we'll say
is Cordell Hull. True, no Secretary
of State in our time has received
such general acclaim at home and
abroad as this soft-spoken fighting
statesman from the Tennessee hills;
true, no member of the adminlStra-
ton has demonstrated greater abil-
ity to work with Congress; true, no
man in Washington is held In higher
esteem by the American press and
public.
Decided on Change.
But, you've decided it's time for
a change; that it's time for Henry
l.. Stimson sto take over, on the
theory that an older more expe-
rienced man is needed. The fact
that Stimson would have to leave
the extremely important job Of
Secretary of War in the midst OF
the greatest war in history does
not bother you. since you have To-
Gated a suitable successor for him
in the person of John j. McCloy,
one of StinlsonS assistants.
Having thus taken care of all
the details, you wrap your proposal
up in nice long editorial, clear
some news off the first page to make
room for it, and present it as a
good will offering to the President
of the United States. Then you
put the paper to bed, do the same
for yourself and get up in the morn
ing to learn what you've accom-
phshed.
You'll learn that you have sue
ceeded in making at least four men
very angry, two of them burned up
with embarrassment besides.
Those made merely angry are the
GOOD Secretary of State. who re-
ceived your gracious gesture while
living on his back in the hospital.
and the President of the United
States, whose affection for the Sec
retary and consideration for his
feelings are fairly well known.
Those both angry and embar-
raised are the Secretary of War and
his able young assistant. Mr.. Stim-
son, since he was called back to
Washington by the President, has
set a pattern not only OF competent
service, but of complete loyalty;
he wouldn't want the President to
think he had even looked in the
direction of the State Department
or that he permitted his assistants
to have ideas of that kind. Mr..
McCloy, also Republican, naturally
gives his first loyalty to Mr.. Stimson;
he could be guilty in his heart of
thinking that Stimson, very great
Secretary of State in his day, would
be a great Secretary of State once
again. But Mr.. McCloy is a man
of wisdom and he would never
think that thought out loud.
What Is Accomplished.
Yet both Mr.. Stimson and Mr.
McCloy know that even great men
are human. So Mr.. StimSon spends
