President T.'ilson had accused him
of usurping the powers of President

conferences because he and others
of the President's official family "felt j
that, in view of the fact that we were
denied communication wnh vr?u, it was
wise for us to confer info* t-?Uy together
on matters as to whkV action
could not be postponed until vour
' medical adviser permitted you to pass
iupon them."
The secretary concluded by saying

failed In his "loyalty" to him and if
Mr. Wilson Xio iuugoT had confidence
In him he was ready to "relieve you
of any embarrassment by placing my
resignation in your hands."
The President replied that he was
"much disappointed" by Mr. Lansing's
(letter regarding "the so-called cabinet
(meetings," and added that he "must
frankly take advantage of your kind
(suggestion" to resign.
*1 must say," continued the Presi- ,
dent, "that it would relieve me of embarrassment,
Mr. Secretary, the embarrassment
of feeling your reluctance
and divergence of Judgment, if you
would give up your present office and
afford me an opportunity to select
someone else whose mind would more
willingly go along with mine."
