beyond doubt the fact that he,
himself, plans to direct the
conduct of that department.
If it runs well, the credit will
be his; if it messes up. the blame
will be his. Credit or blame are
his anyhow.
Why should he not have the
men he wants in those offices?
Senator Connally is perfectly
correct that the rejection of
these men can only be inter-
preted as an indication that the
President has lost his leader
ship over the foreign policy.
1t is even worse than that:

l. worthy of this nation at
war as sthe Senate's delay in
confirming the Presidents ap-
pointees to the state depart
ment.
If the state department has
been weak during the past II
years, ii was because IL did not
function as an administrative
unit of government but as a
congeries of empire-builders,
each going his own way, estab-
fishing his own policies and
quarreling with everybody, in
Guiding the President. in public.
That is not government; it is
anarchy.
Under the American system.
the President is responsible for
every executive function Of gov
eminent.
The cabinet consists not of
associates but of subordinates
who hold office at his discretion
and pleasure.
1t is true that the Constitu-
ton provides that he shall have
the advice and consent of the
Senate in making these appoint
ments. but that phrase, advise
and consent" could never have
been intended to limit the
efficiency Of the President.
