Those who were present at the first Cabinet meeting describe a rather tense and dramatic scene. Congress was fall of rumors ‘that the President was so disabled as to be constitationally unable te discharge the functions of his office.

Looking up the historical record he found it had been done when President Garfield shot by an assassin and that it had been done berore that when President: Taylor had a long illness and resident Fillmore, ably was because those surrounding him did not think it wise to tell him. The best opinion of those “on the inside” is that the President did not know until last week of the regularity with which the Cabi- net was meeting at the call of the Secretary of State, because at about the time at which the Pres- ident’s first letter to Mr. Lansing the White House offices ‘ be known” that the Presi- dent had énded the Cabinet con- ferences and there was an infer- ence that he might preside at the next one himself. There was, however, no hint that the ending of the meetings marked a separa- tion between Mr. Wilson and Mr. Lansing. MANY DIFFERENCES ON MAT- TERS. OF POLICY. Yow that the break has come and Lansing bas left the Cabinet, much may be revealed of the extent to which the Secretary of State and the President differed in matters of policy. Quite aside trem the differ- ences at the Peace Conference, there were other differences in foreign pol- icy, and some of Mr. Lansing’s friends say he would have left his office gome time ago but for the fuct that he wished to spare the Prest- dent an upheaval in his official family at the time when Europe was watch- ing the fight over the treaty in Amer- ica and especially when the Presi- dent was ill and unuble to look. after the affairs of the State Deparunent himeelf.

It is known, however, that Henry Prather Fletclfer, former Ambassador | to Mexico, who recently resigned, wrote a letter to the President in which he excoriated the Administra- tion's Mexican policy, and the general belief in the State Department is that Mr. Lansing and Mr, Floteher agreed pretty generally. Mr. Fletcher’s ietter of resignation never has been given out #§ the White House. But aside from his difficulties with the Prowident, it hus been common knowledge in Washington that Mr. Lansing hag not been on good terms with Seoretary Tummulty, and from time to time there have been appar- ently well grounded reports of frie- tion with Secretaries Baker and Dan- tels, In the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, where Mr. Lansing was in frequent touch with Senators, he is regarded as a trained diplomat. Senators remarked when Bullitt gave his sensational testimony that they regretted it very much on Lansing’s account, Secretary Lansing gave out the correspondence between himself and th President last ntght and stipulated that it was for publication in morn- ing papefs to-day.

PRES. SCHURMAN RESIGNS AT CORNELL Declares No Head of Great Insti- tution’ Should Hold Office More Than Thirty Years. ITHACA, N, ¥.. Fev.

In a letter to the Board of Trustees, Dr. Schurman said he always had held the chief executive of @ great institution should not fetain the post more than twenty-five or thirty years. He asked that his resignation become effective June 23, 1920, Dr. Schurman, then Sage professor of ethics and philosophy in Cornell Univer- sity, was olected to the Presidency in 1892, succeeding the late Charles Kendall Adams. President Schurman was head of the first United States commission to the Philippines and spent most of the year 1899 in those islands. In 1912-48, during the second Balkan War, he was United States Minister to Greece and Monte- negro.

All foreign Govermthents with which the United States has relations were notified by the State Department to- day of the resignation of Secretary’ Lansing and the fact that Under Sec- retary Frank L. Polk is Acting Sec- retary. Congress {s without power to in- vestigate the dismissal of Lansing, but it can investigate, if it wishes, the condition of America’s foreign policy, in the opinion of Senator Knox, him- self a former Secretary of State. “Congress tan inforin itself con- cerning the Nation's foreign policy, but can do nothing directly about the circumstarices involved in a pafticular instance,” said Knox. ‘The conduct of foreign affairs is, of course, in the President's hands and all that Con- gress can do is to make an inquiry." Chairman Porter, of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, com- menting to-day on Secretary Lan- sing's resignation said: “I am not inclined to accept this new and novel interpretation of or- ganic law,” sair Chairman Porter of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. “There is, nothing in the Constitution which prohibits mem- bers of the President's cabinet from meeting and discussing any depart- mental matter. If we accept the President's construction of the Con- stitution, it would be a violation thereof for two of the secretaries to hold a conference in the absence of the President. “Mr. Lansing has faithfully served Mr. Wilson during both of his terms as President, and indue consideration for his rights, I think the President should have asked for his resignation on the ground that they did not agree on the policies to be pursued by the State Department and not tq have dismissed him in this harsh way.” (okie tee THREW VICTIM _ LAKE.
