could gain his consent to the
plan, I would ask your permits

"All my life long 1 have adj
vocated some such responsible
Government for the United
States as other constitutional
systems afford as of course,
and as such action on my part
would inaugurate, at least by
example.
Responsible government
means government by those
whom the people trust, and
trust at the time of decision
and action. The whole coun-
try has long perceived, with
out knowing how to remedy,
the extreme disadvantage OF
having to live for four months
after an election under a party
whose guidance had been re-
jected at the polls. Here is
the remedy. at any rate so far
as the Executive is concerned.
In ordinary times it would
perhaps not be necessary to
apply it. But it seems to me
that in the existing circum-
stances it would be impera-
lively necessary.
THE choice of policy in re-
spect of our foreign relations
rests with the Executive. No
such critical circumstances in
regard to our foreign policy
have ever before existed. 1t
would be my duty to step
aside so that there would be
no doubt in any quarter how
that policy was to be directed.
towards what objects and by
what means. I would have no
right to risk the peace of the
Nation by remaining in office

But such a plan is not now
feasible because, if the Pres

sign. they cannot appoint the
winning candidate to be
Speaker of the House. A re-
turn to the old law Of success

which was on the statute books
for many decades, would seem
to be logical, at least in an

Hopeful Democrats Groom Newcomer
To Challenge KucheI, Warren Appointee

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 49,
Amid the excitement of their
pontential four dark horse
parley for the presidency, Cali
fornia Republicans have almost
forgot they have Junior Sem
ator who is up for reelection
this fall.
Reminded that they are also
in a fight for a valuable Senate
seat on which control OF the
upper house might hinge, they
are apt to suggest that the

Republicans carry California.
They think honest. amiable
Tom Kuchel will be reelected.
In a close battle, they expect
him to have trouble.
Senator Kuchel simply has
not been able to establish him

himself elected handily in 1854

Furthermore, If an entire

Senator Kuchel's best political
asset still seems to be the
thought that if Mr.. Warren
picked him he must be pretty

1t is uncertain whether
Democrats will be able to
capitalize on the negative
quality Of Senator Kuchel's
appeal. Party leaders are try
ing hard to do so with State
Senator Richard Richards, age

If he does so, it will mean an
other dispossession Of the
peasants-and it will not solve
the problem either.
The peasants, Of course. who
knew nothing whatever about
MARKHAM theory. thought the
revolutionaries meant what
they said, and that they, as
individual families, would get
portions of the land they had
worked for great landlords.
They did, for a very brief
period.
What then happened is
what anybody could have fore
seen. The ADLER among them
extended their holdings, by
purchase from unsuccessful
neighbors, who often went to
work for the more enterprising
farmers.
This resulted in forced de-
liveries, which resulted in a
general sitdown strike--killing
off of cattle. etc.-which re-
suited in the most unconscion-
able purge Of human beings in
Russian history, plus famine
In large areas, and the in
PRODUCTION of the collective
system.
The peasants, however. have
made inroads on this system.
They own their own houses
and have their own plots of
land-on the farm I visited,
about three-quarters of an
acre. If, now, state farms are
made Observation-Disclosures
farming-they will lose these
small footholds of economic
independence. And it is hard
to believe that they will re-
linquish them in docility.
And even if they should do
so, it still won't solve the
problem. For the Soviet Union
is afflicted with the disease of
giantism. with the theory that
the larger the farm, the more
efficient and productive. And
this Just is not true. Huge
farms are efficient for some
types of agriculture and ex-
tremely inefficient for others.

Crises in Middle East and Far East
May Affect Decision to Run Again

heretofore poorly armed Arabs
are being provided with the
latest instruments of destruc-
ton.
In the Far East the Chinese
Communists seem determined
to take first the Nationalist
offshore islands and ultimately
Formosa, by force If necessary.
The concentrations of ground,
sea and air forces in Fukien
province are almost completed.
Intelligence reports received
recently in Washington indi-
cate that the blow-up may
come within the next so to 80
days, if not sooner.
Sir Anthony Eden rendered
a poor service to the Anglo
American alliance when he
stated publicly that he could
not go along with our policy
on Formosa. This statement,
probably intended principally
for home consumption, will be
taken by the Chinese Com
munists as another indication
that America is not only physi-
cally but also morally without
Britain's support in the face
of another Red aggression.
The situation is less ex-
plosive in Europe although
the NATO alliance on which
the Western defense against
Communism is predicated is
more brittle than ever.
The main pivot, because Of
its geographic position, is
France. Political conditions
there are far from encourag-
ing. The fate of the shaky
Mollet government is in the

turn the Fresno tide. In the
process he took a flyer in Nix

copies of a brief Mr.. Richards
had signed for the American

due to two factors-the desire
of the masses for German

the assistance of the West but
must be obtained directly from
Moscow; and the reluctance
of the German people to trade
prosperity and bearable taxes

The laws with respect to
presidential succession are in
q mess.
There's no law advising the
Nation how to deal with the
duties of the presidential Of
flee when there is an "inabil-
ity" to serve, as the word is
used in the Constitution.
There's no law that enables
the party elected at the previ-
Gus election to maintain con-
troll of the White House if a
Vice President dies after sue
ceeding to the presidency.
There's no law which would
permit, in an emergency, a
presidential candidate elected
in November to take over i'm
mediately even though the
outgoing President was ready
to resign and make the trans
fer without waiting for the
two-and-a-half months in
terval to elapSe before the
formal Inauguration. 1t used to
be four months.
The Judiciary Committee of
the House, under the chair
manship of Representative
Emmanuel Celler, Democrat
New York, has been conduct
ing a study of what to do in
the case of presidential lin
ability"
The net of 1t all is that the
Congress has the power under
the Constitution to pass a law
saying when the Vice Presi-
dent shall take over in the
case of resignation" or 'in-
ability" and whether he shall
give the office back to the
President upon his recovery
from inability"
A most significant point is
that Congress does have the
power to remove a President if
inability" occurs - and this
word in the Constitution is not
qualified by the word 'physi-
cal"
The argument could be made
that inability" means ineffi-
cheney, too. which would intro
duce something akin to the
parliamentary system, espe-
cially if the Supreme Court
which doesn't hesitate to legis-
late nowadays-should some
day broadly interpret the
word inability"

sion provides that, after the
Vice President, the Speaker OF
the House and then the Pres
ident Pro Tempore of the
Senate shall succeed to the
presidency. But today the
Speaker of the House is a
Democrat, and it could happen
again that the Speaker of the
House isn't of the same party
as won the previous presiden-
tial election. The Republican
Congress enacted this law in
1947 when it repealed the old
succession law that allowed
the Secretary of State and,
consequently. the other MEM
bers of the cabinet to succeed
to the presidency in the order
of rank.
1t is interesting to reread
what President Woodrow Will
son wrote conf1dentially to his
Secretary of State during
World War just before the
election in which Charles
Evans Hughes had resigned
from the Supreme Court to be
the opposing candidate. Mr..
Wilson wrote on November 5,
1916:
Again and again the Ques-
ton has arisen in my mind:
what would it be my duty to
do were Mr.. Hughes to be
elected? -Four months would
elapse before he could take
charge of the affairs OF the
Government, and during those
four months I would be with
out such moral backing from
the Nation as would be neces-
sary to steady and control our
relations with other govern
ments. I would be known to be
the rejected, not the accred-
tied, spokesman of the coun-
try; and yet the accredited
spokesman would be without
legal authority to speak for the
Nation. Such a situation would
be fraught with the gravest
dangers. The direction of the
foreign policy Of the Govern
ment would in effect have
taken out of my hands and yet
its new definition would be i'm
possible until March.

duty to relieve the country of
the perilS of such a situation
