in time of peace than he had in
time of war"
Meanwhile, presidential Secretary
Stephen T. Early told reporters that
the White House had no knowl-
ecge" that Jones intended to make
public the exchange of letters in
which the President told Jones that
he would have to go to make room
for Wallace.
CALLED HENRY UNSUITED
Jones called reporters to his RFC
offices last night and distributed
copies of the correspondence. The
Texans reply to the President stat
ed that he did not believe Wallace
was suited for the JOB.
Early said there might have
been" some discussion in the execu-
tive office about the advisability of
later releasing the exchange of let
ters. He insisted, however, that
nothing whatsoever had been known
of Jones plans to make them pub
lie.
ASKED. if Jones would remain on
the job pending senate confirma-
ton of his successor, Early said that
would be up to Jones.
CAMPAIGN PLUM
Jones quit as secretary of COM
merce last night after receiving
from Mr.. Roosevelt a letter saying
Wallace had campaigned vigorously
fer the fourth term, wanted the
commerce post, was fully suited"
to it and deserved to get what he
wanted. That ended 13 years of
government service for Jones. He
became a member of the reconstruc-
ton Finance Corporation in 1882
by appointment of former President
Hoover.
The retiring secretary tartly re-
piled that he didn't agree that Wal
lace was fit for the jo5, with its
control over the RFC an6 other
government financial operations.
Jones briskly snubbed Mr.. Roose-
Velt's suggestion that he take a con-
ISOLATION priZe-Some ambasSadorial
job. 1t was reported that he could
have London if he wanted it and
thai Ambassador John G.. Winant
would come home to succeed Secre-
tary Of Labor Frances Perkins.
PREDICT SENATE FIGHT
There was instant prediction of
Il senate battle over Wallace's con-
firmation but without much chance
of success.
Reporters were called to the RFC
building at 8:15 (EWT last night
and received copies Of the letters.
Il have your letter of today, ask
ing that I relinquish my post as
secretary of commerce" Jones wrote
to the President, which carries
with it the vast financial and war
proc uction agencies within the RFC
and its subsidiaries, SO that you can
give it to Henry Wallace as a re-
ward for his support of you in the
campaign.
You state that Henry thinks he
could do the greatest amount of
good in the department of COM
merce, and that you consider him
fully suited for the post. With all
cue respect, Mr.. President, while
I must accede to your decision, 1
cannot agree with either of you"
