The difference between a sound

TODAY and TOMORROW
: BY WALTER LIPPMANN.

The other day I wrote that it
was contrary to the American con-
stitutional tradition and incompat-
ible with our form of government
to refuse to confirm member OF
the Presidents Cabinet on the
ground that the Senate does not
like him or approve of his ideas.
On Monday in the Senate Mr.. Taft
of Ohio declared that this was
1.-The most blandly nonsensical ar
gument against the Senate's power
to refuse to confirm Cabinet Of
ficers that I have ever happened
to read. Any college boy has more
knowledge about t h e Constitution
than Mr.. Lippmann exhibits in this
article. know Of no one who has
ever before questioned the Senate's
right to refuse to confirm.
What Senator Taft does not know
on this subject, as on good
many others, is most of what there
is to be known about it.
History shows" says Mr.. Taft,
that Cabinet appointments have
been rejected" In support of this
statement Mr.. Taft cites just one
case-that of President Coolidge's
appointment in 1925 of Charles B.
Warren as Attorney General. Now,
as a matter of fact, the Warren
case is a perfect example of the
exception that proves the rule.
The objection raised against con-
firming Warren as Attorney Gen
eral was that as a lawyer he had
been closely connected with the
sugar companies which had just
been charged by Federal Trade
Commission with conspiracy in re-
straint of trade. AS Attorney Gen
eral he would have had to decide
whether to prosecute his own eli
ents for violation of the Sher-
man act, and on this ground War
rem was rejected by vote of al
to 80. The issue was not Warren S
general views, or wild and woolly
words he had used, but whether
he could be relied upon to execute
the law without fear or favor
against his own clients.
Although Mr.. Taft told the Sen
ate that he knows of mo one who
has ever before questioned the
Senate's right" to reject Cabinet
appointments, the fact is that the
Senate's right was questioned by

Ohio Pupils Get Lessons
The Easy WaY--BY Movies

The exchange, which Aughln-
/ h.ngh values at 100000, has
films on nearly 10000 subjects
Ohio school children see their v.
history lessons in movies which
depict events from the discovery OF
America to Macarthur landing
on Luzon.
Titles of films and slides in the
exchange range from robin Red
breast" a popular feature W h
first-graders, to "Einstien's The
ory of Relatively" from Choosing
YOUR Vocation" to Lincoln in the
White House,
The motion pictures classroom
competition with the textbook
began almost 10 years ago when
the State Department OF Educa-
tion pioneered in visual education
methods.
Ten years ago we shipped five
or six films and slides daily to
Ohio schools; now we ship an
acreage of 300 daily" Aughin-
baugh said.
Movies and slides from the ex-
change are distributed to one
room schools and universities
alike and are used by schools in
every city, county and village in
Ohio, Aughinbaugh says.
Cost of the exchange and its
oneration is paid not by tax
payers or schools but from the
Ohio film censor fee charged to
Hollywood motion picture produ-
GERS. Films and slides are dis
tributed free to Ohio schools from
kindergartens to universities on a
loan basis. Schools borrow films
and slides from the exchange as
thew would borrow books from a
library.
Schools and colleges buy their
own projectors and movie equip
ment. School systems in Cincin-
natl, Youngstown, Akron, Dayton,
Cleveland, Toledo, Elyria, Lorain,
Springfield and other cities now
have their own film libraries to
supplement the movies borrowed
from the exchange.
II expect each teacher some
day will have films on her desk
the same as textbooks" Aughin-
baugh says. Seeing is natural

President Coolidge, who issued a
statement expressing the nope
ssThat the unbroken practice OF
three generations of permitting the
President to choose his own Cabl-
net will not now be changed, and
that the opposition to Mr.. Warren,
upon further consideration, will be
withdrawn, in order that the coun-
try may have the benefit of his ex-
cellent qualities and the President
may be unhampered in choosing his
own method Of executing the
laws"
So strongly did President Cool
idge question right which Mr..
Taft says has never been ques-
toned that he sent Warren's name
back to the Senate and announced
that he would give Mr., Warren a
recess appointment if on second
vote the Senate rejected Warren
again. The Senate did reject him
again, and the controversy ended
with Mr.. Warren's refusal to ac-
cept a recess appointment.
*@*
When President Coolidge spoke
of the unbroken practice of three
generations, he was evidently re-
ferring to the rejection in 1853 of
Andrew Johnson's nominee for At
torney General. No one would ever
cite anything that happened be-
tween Congress and the President
during that dark period as a good
precedent in constitutional usage.
Whether there is any case of the
rejection of a Cabinet officer in our
early history 1 do not know.
But it may safely be stated that
there is no single case in our whole
history where a Cabinet appoint
ment was rejected on the ground
that the nominees views were not
acceptable to the Senate. The War
rem case shows that the outer limit
of the Senate's right under the
usage of the Constitution is to re-
ject on the ground that the nomi-
nee is disqualified to execute the
laws. Thus President Grant with
drew the nomination of A. T. Stew
art for Secretary of the Treasury
when the Senate pointed out to him
that as head of Wanamaker's de-
partment store, he was large
importer, and was, therefore, by
statute ineligible to administer the
tariff.

body of slander against Harriet
