A—16 COUNGIL PROPOSED 10 AID ROOSEVELT Many Outstanding Leaders Available, Who Could Not Be in Cabinet. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. A presidential council to advise with the President and his cabinet, serving informally and without statutory desig- nation, has been suggested as one way that President-elect Roosevelt can avail himcelf of the services of some of the country’s outstanding men whose business or personal _circum- | stances would not permit them to ac- ccpt cabinet portfolios. Many men now being mentioned for cabinet posts are certain to decline the compliment. They do not relish coming to Washington to become ad- ministrators of departmental routine. American cabinet officers, unlike their counterpart abroad, are managers of tments and bureaus rather than -guaged advisers or students of istration policies. The country | thinks of a cabinet meeting as a| round-tatle discussion of all questions, but usually cabinet members interfere | very little and offer few <uggesm0ns‘ relative to the operation of the othsr‘ cabinet officer’s bailiwick. There is no such thing in America as a minister Without pertfolo who can keep up with | the current questions and really assist | in their settlement for or on bsl mn‘ of the President. It has often been argued that the President ought to | have an assistant for this purr vhet, really is meant is some a service that can sift suggestions and really advise, Likely Personnel. If Mr. Roosevelt, for instance, wished | to cet up a presidential council to‘ meat with him once a month or with | his cabinet twice a month, he could| unguestionubly prevail on some out- tanding leaders of American thought | to make the journey to Washington and to keep him in touch between times by mail with the currents of public thought and with the attitude of the country on pending questions. Such & council might include the fol- | speeq, lowing: Alfred E. Smith, whose knowledge : of the relations of government to pub- }15! opinion would prove especially help- ul. Owen D. Young, who has the con- fidence of the business world and has been summoned for advice more times | by Repubtlican and Democratic leaders | than any man in recent years. Bernard M. Baruch, who was of- fered the sccretaryship of the Treasury by President Wilson and is so keen a Judge of economic trends that Presi- dent Hoover has consulted him fre- quently during the depression. James M. Cox, whose advice has been Tepeatedly sought by his former run- ning mate, Mr. Roosevelt, and whose knowledge of business in its relation to government has made him one of the most influential factors in the business as well as political world. Newton D. Baker, who probably would never accept another cabinet portfolio but whose liberalism and vision have already appealed to Mr. Roosevelt in the past and who would prove one of the best counsellors the new President could obtain. Davis Valuable Man. John W. Davis, whose familiarity with legal problems and foreign affairs would make him an exceptionally valu- able adviser, but who probably could not be persuaded to accept cabmet Te- sponsibility. Melvin Traylor, Chicago bnnker, un- likely to accept a cabinet post, but able | 0 serve on a presidential council. The foregoing are Democrats, but | since there are many business men who | are not particularly partisan but who | are familiar with the currents of busi- ness, Mr. Roosevelt might wish to in- | clude in his council leaders like Alfred | P, Sloan, Jr., of General Motors or even | ‘ John D. Rockefeller, jr., who by his | disinterestedness and public spiri® has | won the respect of both parties.

Cohen'of Atlanta, and from the Far ‘West, William Randolph Hearst, who has been an important factor in the Roosevelt campaign. Speaker Garner, soon to be Vice President, and Senator Robinson of Arkansas would, of course, be in the group, as would be Sp-aker and the Democratic leader of the next House. Senator Norris of Nebraska, represent- ing the wing of Congress which cares nothing for party labels, as such, and reflects a viewpoint sometimes called radical, sometimes progressive, but cer- tainly mdependent, would complete the council of 1 Trips -l Different Times. It would not be necessary for all the members to come to Washington at the same time. They could be sum-, moned on special problems and could be rendering advice by mail or by telephone at the President’s wish. If to bring this about. Starting with | President Wilson, who used Col. House | and running | through to the Hoover administration | in which Henry Robinson of Los An- geles occupied a position of adviser and stayed here for weeks at a time, the custom has grown up of calling on men who can be trusted to give dis- interested advice and help as a mat- ter of public service, Mr. Roosevelt had a small group of technical advisers during the cam- paign headed by Prof. Raymond Moley. He probably will continue to call on | them. “The fact that a group of out- | standing business and professional leaders, however, was appointed on a presidential council—and it pmbabh‘ would include a woman of the type of | Frances Perkins—might seem unprece- | dented in one sense, but it is merely | the amplification of an idea used by | nearly every President in recent years, who has called on personal friends or | }§ business leaders for advice and sug- gestions. right, 1932) Collegians Show Rxsque Film.
