and other federal lending agencies
Instead. the President stripped
Jones OF all his posts in order tc
turn all OF them over to Wallace.
The decision TO place Wallace fTi
charge OF the Reconstruction Fin'
ance Corporation and the Other
federal lending agencies, with theiI
billions of dollars of federal monies
was the signal for open warfare be
tween the right and left wings ot
the Administration. There is some
question whether Wallace can be
confirmed for this momentous post
Jones touched off the warfare by
blasting the Presidents choice OF
Wallace to fill his shoes. He said
the Presidents choice of a man
inexperienced in business and fin,
ance" to head so important a bust
ness agency of the government
would be hard for the business
and financial world to understand"
The President made gentle in
quiries in the Senate last week to
learn whether the upper chamber
would confirm Wallace as Secre-
tary Of Commerce. He was in
formed by Sen. Alben w. Barley,
Of Kentucky, his Senate leader, that
the Senate would confirm Wallace
easily II he were given the old
time post of Secretary of Com
merce but that the nomination
would be fought and perhaps de.
feated il Mr.. Roosevelt gave Wal
lace control of all the federal lend
ing agencies.
This forecast OF Senate sentiment
later by Sen. Josiah Bailey, oS,
North Carolina, chairman of the
Senate Commerce Committee -
which will pass on Wallace's nomi-
nation-and by Sen. Tom Connally,
of Texas, chairman of the Senate
Foreign Affairs Committee. They
gave this warning to the President
at White House conference last
week. :
In the face of these warnings, the
President summarily called on
Jones to "relinquish this present
post for Henry" as a campaign
reward to Wallace and because he
(Wallace) thought he could do the
greatest amount of good in the
Department of Commerce. Thu
/ President offered Jones his choice
| of number of ambassadorships
/ but the tall, soft-spoken Texan
said he didn't want a diplomatic
assignment" and sought no job in
the fourth term.
The President first preached tho
subject of dismissing Jones with
| the Texan at post-cabinet confeD.
en,e Friday afternoon. Jones was
aware he might be replaced as
Secretary or Commerce but believ.
ed he would be retained as head
Of the great government lending
| agencies, such as the RFC which
he organized in President Hoover's
administration, and the others
which he organized under Roose-
welt. =,
Instead the President told Jones'
he was to be stripped of all hiA
