It has pot been made plain wheth-
I ei President Wilson knew since then
(that the cabinet members had been
as-embliinr and talking over inter-de
partm.'tila! at lairs, but the meetings
;hae been held in the cabinet rooe:

i The best opinion of those "on the

There was however, no hint that

Secret Come Out.
Now that the break has come and
Mr. Lansimr has left the eabinet.
much muv be revealed of the extent
to which the secretary of state and
the president differed in mutters of
policy. Unite aside from the differ
ences at the peace conference, there
were other difterences in f'oreiirn pol
icy and some of Mx. Lansing's friends
sav he would have left his office
some time nro but for the fact that
be wished to spare the president an
upheaval in his official family at a
time when Kurope was watehinir the
f'itfht over the treatv in America and
especially when the president was ill
and unable to look after the affaiis
of the state. department, himself.
Wilson Own Secy, of State.
Ah. Lansimr Miecarne head ol the
state department when William J.
Hr vmi ami the president had their
difference over the Lusitania notes.
Mr. i.an-dnir was counsellor an office
in which he succeeded John Basset!
.Moore. It has been common know
ledge that while Mr. Lansing's name
was siirneil to the succeeding notes to
(lermanv and the notes which pre
ceded the armistice. Mr. Wilson him
self wrote them, in fact, he practical
ly acted as secretary of state in all
important business. It was the pres
ident's conception of his relation to
the foreign policy of the nation.
How much Mr. Kansintr and the
president differed on the .Mexican
policy never has been fully revealed,
but officials who sympathize with
Mr. Lansing's views sav thut thev
differed a ureat dear. It has trenerai
ly been believed in official circles
here that the sharp notes which Mr.
LansiiiL'" sent to Cnrrnn.n in connec
tion with the Jenkins ease are what
the president referred to in his let
ter to the secretary when be spoke
of the secretary of state havinir tak
en action lo forestall his pnhjmcnt.
It is known, however, that Henry
I Vat her Kletcher. former ambassa
dor to Mexico, who recently resigned,
wrote a letter to the president in
which he excoriated the administra
tion's Mexican policy, and the treneral
belief in the state department is that
M.r. Lansing and M. Kletcher tmreed
prettv uenernllv. Mr. Fletcher's let
ter of resiunation never has been (riv
en out at the White House. But
aside from his ttifficulties with the
president, it has been common know
ledge in Washington that Mr. Lans
inir has not been on irood terms with
Secretary Tumulty and from time to
time thu re have been apparently well
.'rounded reports id' friction with
Secretaries Baker and Daniels.
Tumulty Says 'Xothintf.
In the .senate foreign relations
committee, where Air. Lansing was in
freipient touch with senators, he is
rosra riled as a trained diplomat. Sen
ators remarked when Bullitt irave his
sensat:onal testimony that thev re
gretted it verv much on Lansing's account.
Secretary Lunsiinr irave out the
correspondence between himself ami
the president last niiiht and stipulat
ed that it was for publication in
mornimr papers today. Some news
meneies, however, other than the As--oeiated
Press, violated their pledtres '
to the state department and published

try yesterday afternoon. i
