Mr. Hoover' cholro for secretary of Htntc, you think of a lot-of words that are thn port of synie nowadays, II ko "duty" nml 'service." Throughout Mr. 8tim eon'B career, In Albany and at Washington, at th front with the 305th field urtllory, or which ho was lieutenant -colonel during the war, or in NfcarnKUn, or In the Philippines, the . "Stern Diuwhter of the Voice of Uod'VhaH stood ever at his elbow, laying on him the contpulRldntr thiUnh has .laid uh men of,QlU . . , W . m.i t What-wan thero In th Phlllp plna post for a man like Stimson? It meant another Interruption of hlg jSrofeHHlonal enreor, yenrs Rpent In a climate which hud broken stronger men, suptimllon from friends and home und tho purMtiltH of well-earned leisure. Yet you Saw blm bow hit head when cull came and tmll fuvjw on the ProHl dent McKinley like a' Human pro consul, as General Wood had done before him -mid filed for It Ih puln. It Is safe to Hhy that (ho thought of promotion, iUioiifflt it had eomo tp one of his prodecoHrtors, never en tered his head. That is what makes his frluudM all the inoro dor tlRhted at the Hoover appointment. Two-, strong ' men,- Hoover and fttlnrtHon: alike In their Ideals of public service, somewnut unlike In temperament and technique. The relation' has brought Mil a number of notable contraatrt In recent yeiu-H Wllsort and Bryan, Wllsniv and Ianslnff.Hardlng and Hughee, miys Harold Phelps HtokeH In the New .York .Time maguslne. Coolldve AnoV Kellogg did not present such sharp dissimilarity; In the-natural course of events, a secretary of war or an attorney general Is left more or.tesa to his own device, Not no a secretary of state. He sitH nt the Cabinet table at the president's right hand. He ts Iks rignt hand. And a President la likely to huvo IiIh own Ideas as to the conduct of the country's foreign relations. .

To this doctrine of executive ro s"ionlsblllty, which has since been written Into the constitution and laws of the state, Stimson made his own peculiar contribution. Jitirlng the dayH of his service at Washing Ion, the weaknesses of a ysteni which rigidly separated tho execu tive, the legislative and the Judicial brunches of government were for cibly brought home lo him. Ho resolved then nnd thero lo do what he could to adapt the ancient form ulas of Montesquieu to thu condi tions of modern life, with its de mand for leadership ami co-operation. As soon as he Kot hack to New York, long before ho had been elected a dclcgnte to ihe conven tion, he took up Hut cause of the executive budget, which, will ever be associated with his name. In tho convention ho bended the commUteo which had charge of that reform.

As a special envoy of President Cool Idirn. Stimson settled the depute between Ma and Pacasn, anil rnn m ged to effect n n agrcetimn t that enflcd hostilities between their tfEDFORD MATL rival forces, even though It did not 'bring, permanent peace to the coun try. On hi understanding of Iat In-Amcriean problems, refreshed at that lime, Mr. Hoover is ex pected to lean heavily- In seeking to Improve relations with the re publics south of the Klo (H'andc. -"Whatever steps wo take In Central America," he said in writ ing on tho problem, "must not bo In derogation of tho rights of those republics ns Independent nations," und added thttt the national safety ot the United .States Imposed upon us a peculiar Interest in guarding tho Onrribean Sea and the Panama canal routes; While his good friend General Wood" was still In tho Philippines. Stimson went ;o pay him d vifdt. He was greatly Impressed with he general's consecration to his taHk. Ho felt that Wood had undertaken it as a dutyJ and when tho call nimo to Htlmson himself, ho ac cepted it in thu an mo spirit. He went out to the Islands- In 1928, on the wings of great prestige and Into tho arms of a most friendly wel come, 'Tie. early sought the cooper ation of Wuezon, Osmena and the other Phlllplno leaders. Home of them ho appointed to his cabinet. This: gave them n volco In ' tho administration; nt tho sumo time' they woro ahlu to help him In the loRlsluturu with his reform meas ures. Through his cabinet, nnd through tho council of stuto, which he revived, he was able to put Into effect In the Philippines tho doc trines of executive, leadership and legislative contact which he had persistently advocated In this country.' . , Co-oiHration His keystone. Like Morrow In Mexico, Stimson made co-operation and the econo mic development of the country tho keystone of his policy. "The Filipino people today constitute a community In the orient filled with eager western desire and hunger for the mental nnd material good things of this rife," he told1 them. "Hut l hoy nro held back from a gratification of that desire by their failure thus far to achieve the mu chnnlcnl nnd ecodomle progress by which alone such desires can he grntlfled." He urged development "in nnd by big business units' with ample resources In cardial and ex pert tolent, , Such, in Its broad outlines.
