Knowing that Mr. Truman cannot be re-elected. their main concern will not be to win control of the national government in 1343 but to win control of the basic and indestructible elements of the party organization. * * * Despite the excellent words that have been spoken, the prospects of joint action are at present poor, the premium on disagreement is high. The situation is very grave indeed, and unless extraordinary measures are taken to deal with it, there is every probability that the next two years will see a crisis ol government of dangerous propor tions to this country and to the world. This is not, to be sure, the first time that the country has had a divided control of the government. But familiarity should not breed complacency. We had a divided government alter the Civil War and after the First World War, and these precedents are no comfort but on the contrary an awful warning. The reunion and the re construction of the country were delayed for a generation after the Civil War: divided government after the First World War left the country so divided and confused in the next twenty years that it could do nothing to prevent, and it did pitiably little to prepare against, the Second World War. Again we have a divided govern ment—this time after the greatest of all wars, witn no peace as ye! agreed to, or in sight, or even out lined and projected, and with the whole economy of the world, in VENETIAN BLINDS ALL SIZE BLINDS MADE AND REFINISHED STRICKLAND VENETIAN BLIND WORKS Phone 6404, Castle Hayne Road For A Great Variety In GIFT SELECTIONS VOCJR FAVORITES IN CHINA, SILVER AND GLASSWARE PATTERNS VISIT THE Jewel Box Gift Shop Downstairs In The Jewel Box 109 North Front St. QUICK' ACT I WO FOR QUICK RELIEF FROM i HEADACHES \ NEURALGIC & MUSCULAR PAINS loe AND 25< caution: use as DIRECTED IF STOMACH BALKS DUE TO GAS AND BLOAT Help Get Food Digetted to Relieve Yourself of This Nervous Distress Do you feel all puffed-up and miserable after every meal, taste sour, bitter food?

The settlement of this war. and the reconstruction, can not be mastered without strong, purposeful and coherent govern i meet in the United States. We do not have it. We cannot trust to our luck that somehow we shall ■drift safely into port. We shall not be let off cheaply. We cannot count on getting by with generali ties. amiable but lazy expressions of good intentions. We shall have to make an extraordinary effort of heart and mind to surmount the crisis of government which is now developing. For the times are ex ceptionally troubled, and the gov- ■ ernment as now constituted and j manned is exceptionally weak. Our task is to form a govern-: rnent that can govern. We shall | not get such a government by in- j forma! consultation between the i President and the Congressional leaders. Yet that appears to be all that he and they have thus far in mind for carrying out their pledges of co-operation. Informal consultation will not be enough. It will not work because the induce ments to agree are too weak. Con sultation is indispensable but to be effective it should be formal. It should depend not on Mr. Tru man’s inviting the Congressional leaders in for a chat, or on their asking him to receive them. The consultation should be based 01, law and not merely on the good intentions, the moods and persona] idiosyncrasies, of a few individuals, Perhaps as good a way as any to achieve this would be to adopt the proposal of Dr. Galloway, the staff director of the LaFollette-Mon roney Committee, and to create by joint resolution of Congress and an executive order of the President, an executive - legislative council with a secretariat. The great ad vantage of establishing formal machinery is that it would make solemn the duty of collaboration, that it would focus the attention of the country upon the task of finding agreement, and that it would fix clearly and conspicuously the responsibilities of the individ uals who promote or obstruct agreement. The President should propose some such machinery if he is to m ike effective and convincing his pledge of co-operation. But even that, it seems to me, will not be enough. His position is peculiarly and specially weak, and he will need to do extraordinary things to avert the consequences. They will be distasteful to contemplate now. But they will not be nearly so hard to bear as the personal and public consequences of drifting into a great crisis of government. Mr. Truman’s problem is the un usual weakness of his position. He has not only lost control of Con gress but he is only in name the leader of his party. His personal weakness is an obstacle to co-op eration for joint action. For joint action can be had only if there is a greater equality of bargaining power than now exists between the Capitol and the White House. II Mr. Truman is too weak, the best Republicans will be weakened in dealing with their own extremists. Mr. Truman can, however, es cape from the helpless position he is in if he can be induced to face the realities and then to use the political measures of last resort which are still available to him. He can say without qualification that he is not a candidate for 1948. This will strengthen him under present circumstances since he will no longer be the man the Re publicans must destroy. He can reorganize his cabinet, offering to the Republicans at a minimum the post of Secretary of the Treas ury, on the ground that as they control the purse, a Republican should administer the government finances. But if he were willing to be as bold as wisdom in his circum stances requires, he would go fur ther. He would inform the new Congress that if, after there has been a fair trial of formal and careful consultation, no adequate joint program is agreed to, he will ask them to re-enact in some suit able form the Act of 1792, and that he intends to resign. This will either break the deadlock, or il will r e s ol v e it by a national election. * « • Mr. Truman will make a serious mistake if he treats the idea ol , resigning as a personal affront and a reflection on his courage. Wash ington approved a law which con templates the resignation of a President. Lincoln and Wilson con sidered resigning had they found | themselves, as they feared they i might, placed in a position where they could not perform the duties of the President. Lincoln and Wil son thought of resigning because they feared that government might be impotent for four months. Mr. Truman may find he is doomed to president over an im potent government for two years. He should not, therefore, dismiss Lom his mind the remedy whicn his great predecessors contem plated. It is a poor conception of the public service which makes it i moral duty for a man to cling to an office, or to be a prisoner in it, PORTRAITURES COMMERCIAL PHOTOGRAPHY BOB HODGKIN Studio at 103'/2 Princess 6627 —Telephones— 2-1331 if he cannot exercise its functions. The right to resign is one of the cherished privileges of a free man; the willingness to resign, wit e n principle and the public interest are served, is always present in the public-spirited and the self respecting. They look upon re signing, not as cowardice and quitting and a personal disaster, but as the ultimate guaranty oi their useful influence and of their personal dignity.—Copyright, 1916, New York Tribune, Inc.
