These were the remarks of formerV-VicPresident Gamer as quoted by Ba scorn Timmons in his book, "Garner of Texas." When Cactus Jack" gave up the speakership of the house to accept the vice presides tial nomination he called the fice no-ma- "a of- land somewhere between the legislative and the executive branch. 1 dont know whether Mr. Garner was any more reluctant to accept the vice presidential nomination . than was Alben I "Barkley. Or than Governor Warren was, in accepting the Republican vice presidential nomination, for that matter. Warren. in particular, put up a lot of sales resistance. Dewey during the night after his own nomination, conferred with party leaders and cam up with Warrens name for the vice presidency, Warren at first refused, but accepted after Dewey promised to give him cabinet status and administrative duties, if 'ejected. As Dewey put it, he wanted Warren to have a "full partnership" in helping to run the government.

Aa senate Democratic leader for the past 11 years, he has faithfully steered administration programs through the np-- per bouse. Until the GOP captured' the senate In 1914, his power and prestige were Immense. He probably will be asked to attend cabinet meetings as former Vic President Garner was asked acby Rooeeveit. efore-Gamer cepted, he made an agreement covering three things: "In the first place, in order to eerv the President and the country in that capacity, I did not feel I should maks a public statement I also suggested that we agree during my term in the vice presidency and association in the cabinet that I would not make any recommendation for public office unless 1 was asked for a recommendation. , "The third part of the agreement ss that 1 would not make any to national recommendation a policy unless 1 was asked." President Harding had extended a almliar invitation to bia vice president, Calvin Coot ldge, who didnt have to worry about the first part of the Garner agreement. According to the record he was not heard at these meet nga, and at many of them he wa not even seen. Vic President Dawes respectfully declined the invitation to attend cabinet meetings. Curtis attended very seldom. -- -B- e However, that was not entirely a flippant observation. Based on a long and successful political experience he felt that although the four potent offices were the presidency, the speakership of the House, the majority leadership of the senate end the chief Justiceship, s vice d president might at sny time to the presidency end, therefore, should be as carefully selected as the President Many less experienced people in public life and out of it have urged! that the number two man on the party ticket should be expected to carry out a real assistant presidents Job. Heaven knows that the President needs assistance and .a fact Is generally accepted that a leader who cannot delegate responsibility should not himself be entrusted with it In recent years when it was realized that the man in the White House had a literally killing Job, efforts have been made to provide assistance. The project was seriously undertaken, and perhapi if the theory aet forth in the Brown-loreport of 1937 had been carried out as Intended, the effort might bev been successful Originally it ' was intended that the presidential advisers shouL. be a group of highly paid experts, with no political affiliations or passionate devotion to any cause or crusade. The only passion they were supposed to possess was one for anonymity. But congress cut out the appropriation for their salaries and the result was the selection of brilliant and devoted young enthusiasts who, whatever they may have done for the New Deal, never seemed to achieve the authority which would have mpde It possible for them to take over the responsibility for presidential decisions even in their own respective fields. Few could have heen described as experts. suc-cee- w Political Following Might Cause Clash A real assistant president would have to develop a certain following. That following could not help but take on the color of a political entity and, therefore, by its very nature, run head-oagainst the presidential authority itself. Warren waa generally considered a wise choice at a candidate and a strong one. A leader in hia own right. Many Democrats, thinking with the natural wishfulness to be expected, predicted that if he were elected vice president, the tail might wag the dog or, at least, might be inclined to register' approval at its end of the avenue while the head was growling at the other end of the avenue or vice versa. Garner broke with Roosevelt, not merely because he disapproved of the third term, but because he wa fundamentally opposed to many of the President's policies, if not to his basic political pholoaophy.

And the Chinese themselves, torn with indecision, doubts and mob violence, were wondering the same thing. FOOD RIOTS and strikes flared in Hankow, Shanghai and Nanking. Undisciplined throngs roamed the streets. People were trampled to death or injured. Police fired on the rioters. The evacuation of Americans from China was being carried out hastily but efficiently. In north central China the position of the Nationalist forces was growing worse hourly. Suchow and Pengup were reported virtually isolated by Communists. The Yangtze river was feared open to Red crossing that would expose Nanking. THE WHOLE economic structure of the Chiang government appeared to be crumbling and sliding into a Red ruin in the wild .melee along coastal China. Value the gold yuan plummeted downward.
