Lan- don to visit him at the White House was with a similar purpose; that it was cancelled when Mr. Landon made a speech criticizing the President's war policies, and renewed only when word leaked out that it had been cancelled. At any rate, Mr. Landon, as I titular leader of the Republican Party, after a pleasant call at the White House, said that he was sure all Republicans would be good patriots and do whatever they could to help the defense program, and let it go at that.

While the President is, under ( — ■ ■ the Constitution, Commander-in- Chief of the Army and Navy, there are many Senators and Repre sentatives of both parties who point out that the United States is not yet at war, that it is the earnest hope of everybody that we shall not be at war, and that in any event the size and character of the fighting forces of which the President is the Chief must be whatever Congress chooses to pro vide. I give you a Belter Deal too— on a 'Ttui/Js \ l V SSi: 'my :8S : ' Is i kHii ¥ WmM .v.v.v.*Xv.v; If! Sharp Issue A sharp issue is shaping up be tween those who believe that preparations for national defense ought to be made with the coop eration of the ablest men in the nation, regardless of party, and those who hold that these able industrialists, organizers and counselors should subordinate themselves to the President. That has been done in time of war. In time of peace it has never been done. The advisory board which the President appointed last Fall to examine the state of the nation’s preparedness for war, which in cluded prominent men of both parties, lasted only a few weeks, solely because its members found that they could not function a-; gainst the opposition of the President’s close political advisers, or as subordinates subject to the Executive’s orders. Well-meaning patroits who have proposed that the President put prominent Republicans in his Cab inet in this emergency have cited the changes in the British and French Governments since the present European war began. They, overlook the fact that those are Parliamentary governments, in which the constituent assembly has supreme power and the gov erning body or Cabinet,is chosen from among the members of Parliament. Thus two or half a dozen parties may be represented in a coalition cabinet. But under the American system the Executive is entirely distinct from Congress, and the members of his Cabinet are his personal ap pointees, a sort of superior chief clerks, whom he can dismiss at will. They must be completely subordinate to the President.
