Tatk Never Endt The President Issues "executive orders' which someone has tu write fur him but which have the force of law and the President must see that they are properly Interpreted. Again there ia trouble If these decrees tread on congressional prerogatives. He has to get bills which he favors passed. Frequently he writes the first drafts of such bills with the help of his legal advisors. He Is expected. If necessary, to put the heat on to get them through congress.

Many others, well and otherwise, who came and went might be named. The President has to make up the budget with the help of the budget director. If the director makes mistakes or asks fir too much or too little, It la the White House that takes tlie rap. This Involves billions. He appoints the Justices of the Supreme court and federal Judges. A bad choice may be fatal, and yet one person can't know the persunal history of every likely candidate. In this sense the President forms the legal thinking of his era. He la not only his own and his party's but also the nation's chief publicity man. A slip of the tongue not only can lose an election, but also could start a war. If war cornea, he has to run it, for the strategy In the Arid is based on broad objectives decided at home. It waa by no meana merely military opinion which decided when and where the Invasion of Europe took place. These are only a frw of the things a President has to think about. We have omitted mention of many minor but matters such as whether the architectural beauty of the White House shall be altered with a new wing, or where some visiting potentate shall sit at the table. A)1 full of dynamite. It was the death of Woodrow Wilson which brought the presidential workload to public attention. He died, as much from overwork as from his disappointment over repudiation of the League of Nations.

Whether it is the fault that he didn't have properly experienced hind help, is That his hired another matter. , caused the help didn't diiiiiage. An explanation, if not an excuse, has been ulTered In this case. The job of reading over public statemein- ments of administration bers to see that they didn't conflict was handled by the OWI during the war. Before that the While House machinery bad always taken ear of such matters. That machinery had not been again set in mo- tion when OWI ceased to function. The fault was not that the President didn't prevent the Wallace- Byrnes clash, but that he was not prevented from preventing it. I can think of only one similar bad mistuke mada by President Roosevelt which parallels the Wallace mix-uand it was due to a similar but not the same cause. It Involved the highly technical question of the public debt. An "assistant, supposed to be an expert, furnished the figures on which the President based an important public statement. The eagle-eyefinancial writers caught 1L The expert was called to account; he furnished new figures, was wrong again and caught again. The President was forced tu make a second public correction. The duties of a President are simply too great fur any one man. So Presidents have always had iersoii-a- l advisors, some times they were given an ofllce, some times they had no official title like Colonel House in the Wilson regime. Today we hear little eboul presidential adn.u.istrative assistants" but we hear a great deal about a group of advisors who have failed to function proiierly ui spite of the fact that unlike the executive assistants they lack authority. These advisors are too close" to the President. And they have been criticized by other members of the administration for standing between department heads, the congressional and party leaders. They are all old, close, personal friends uf die President. They are inexperienced in government. Whether President Trumuns little circle of "crumcs has helped or hindered him is beside the question. No one can diapule the fact that they were chosen because uf their loyalty rather than because of their experience. The question is whether presidential duties, as they exist today, can be delegated even to a highly capable stall. They can, is the answer, IF such a staff is not blocked by higher au- Ihorities who, (ruin inolives of love, hate, politics, religion, tempera- uient, t.iste or previous comlnioii nf servitude, use svrh authority, oili- er limn in the public ginul , - - Ires-hind- 's fiiid-tiixi- i i j , . j p When Oscar, pet seal of the Call- forma Academy of iicicncr. died, it was found that he had swallowed $7 54 in iiennirs. nickels and dimes. plus a Canadian penny and an amusement token.
