Presidential Succession

President Truman is SO strongly opposed to
the dynastic theology that he wants nothing
to do with the selection Of his successor if he
should die in office or be otherwis incapacit
cupies.
He has, therefore, asked Congress to enact
4 law fixing the succession to the presidency,
when there is no vice president, first upon
the Speaker of the House of Representatives,
next upon the President pro tempore of the
Senate, and only thereafter upon the members
of the Cabinet starting with the Secretary of
State
While TIE Presidents request would seem to
be concerned only with his own successor, the
law he recommends naturally would apply in
any similar case when the administration lack
ed vice president, until such time as
better law could be drafted
The point to be emphasized is that Presi-
dent Truman is so good democrat he wants
the United States always to have Chief
Executive who comes to the office by free
election and never by appointment.
To be sure, the Speaker of the House orig
na!y is elected by a small constituency to
seat in the house, but his elevation to the
speakership is by the vote of the whole House
whose members represent a majority of all
the people in all states and all of the con-
gressional districts of all the states BY this
means provision could be made for orderly,
democratic government" as Mr. Truman says.
The proposal, which has been in many minds
since he moved into the White House, is a
gratifying demonstration of the President
sound judgment and, as see it, an astute
political move which strengthens his position
in public favor.

Plenty Oil

Ever since war came and created its
tremendous drain on the nations petroleum
supplies and reserves there has been con-
tinuous comment from one source or announcer
.hat we were already scraping the bottom OF
the barrel and could not long provide fuel ana
oil for the fighting forces, to say nothing OF
civilian consumers.
Secretary of the Interior Harold 1ckes,
petroleum administrator, recently declared the
nations oil reserve would be exhausted with
in fourteen years Although he usually headS
the pessimists. other prophets have set the
date earlier.
The people, whether to discourage gasoline
use within reasonable limits or because the
seers really believed their forecasts, have been
told there is strong probability that the family
bus may be brought forth only at rare IN
tervals and then driven short distances only
even when peace has returned and the war
demand for petroleum has ended
This is why the testimony of J. Edgar Pew'
president of great oil company, before
special Senate committee investigating petro-
leum resources, is welcome and encouraging
Mr., Pew declares the forecast OF dWindlng
oil reserves is so much poppycock.
The country has sufficient oil reserves, ne
testified to meet its requirements for
generations to COME if there is adequate
incentive for exploitation and development.
Mr.. Pew said that from 1910 through 1914
