Correspondence Made I'm bile The cnrcsoondciice between the Presi dent and Mr. Lansing nhich resulted in Mr. Lamina's resignation was made public tonight at the State Department an hour after L'ndcr Secretary Polk had conferred at the White House with Sec retary Tumulty. Mr. .Lansing, in his final letter to the President said that "in thus severing our official association," he felt that he should mske public a statement h nan prepared recently showing that he had "not been unmindful that the continu ance of our present relations wna impos sible" and that it was his duty to bring them to an tind snd at the earliest moment compatible with the publie in terest." Every fince January 1919, Mr. Lan sing continued, "I have been conscious of the fact that j'ou no longer were dis posed to welcome my advice in matters pertaining to the negotiiitioiis lit Paris, to our foreign service, or to internation al affairs in general." He added that had he followed his personal inclination, he would li.o re signed while in Paris, but that he had refrained because ho felt it his duty to "cause you, no entbsrassment in carrying forward the great' task- in whirh you were then engaged." Again Mr. Isinsing snid that while he had been "surprised snd disappointed'' at the frerjuent disapproval of his sug gestions, h had never failed to fol low the President's decision's ''however difficult it made the conduct of our for eign affair". ', Mr. Lansing accompanied the Presi dent to Paris in December 191, ss one of the American peace delegates, but -his f rinds have saidthat while Mr. Wilson wfs at the'peac.o conference Mr, lousing was virtunll.- without authority and that naturally ho felt thia keenly since the other allied and asaosemted coun tries were represented by their premiers and not ' heads of their governments. Mr. Lnnsing finally returned from Paris before the work of the American peac delegation was concluded, bciug succeeded by Frank L. Polk, under senretarv of state. The friction be tween himself 1 and Mr. Wilson con tinued after he came back t Wash ington. The Mexican Question. During the President's illness the Mexican Issue again came to the front with tho kidnapping and subsewit arrest of American Consular Agent Jenkins in Mexico. After the Jenkins case hail been discussed at Cabinet eetings, presided over by Mr. Inamg, the State Department sent a note to (arm ii7.il bluntly warning him thnt further "molestation" of Jenkins would seriously affect the relntions between the Vnited States and Mexico, for which Elisabeth Morgan Dead. Elisabeth Morgan, eolorcd, the wife of John Morgan, 101 Tsrboro street, died yesterday and will be boried today it S p. m. at the Mount Hone Cemetery. The funeral services . will be at the grave. TresTdeht Wilsoir was advised of -a situation which apparently had grown acute and he was said at the time to have personally taken charge of the matter. The Mexican government de layed its reply for some time and sub sequently Jenkins was released on bail furnished by J. Halter Hansen without the consular agent's knowledge. Jen kins' ease still is pending in the Mexi can courts, having been transferred from the Puebla tit ate courts to the Federal Supreme Court, which the Htittc Department had contended was the only tribunal which had jurisdiction in the ease. No further action has been taken by the American government, so far as has been announced. Didn't See President. While a few members of the Cabinet have conferred with Mr. Wilson since be was taken ill, it wne said tonight that Mr. Lansing had not seen him snd that whatever business he had had with the President had been carried on by daily correspondence. Before the President left on his Western trip, however, Mr, Lansing, after his retairn from Paris, had a stand ing engagement to see him daily and he visited the White House each noon to diaeuss foreign and other affairs.

My Dear Mr. President: I wish fif thank yon sincerely for yonf c.'iinlij lotter of the eleventh in which you state that my resignation would be acceptable to you sinco it relieves me of the responsibility for' the action which I have been contemplating and v hich I can now take without hesita tion as it meets your wishes. I have the honor, therefore, to tender iny resignations ns Secretary of State, the same to take effect at your conven ience. i In thus severing our official associa tion I feel. Mr. President, that 1 should make the following statement which I had prepared recently and which will show you that I have not heon unmind ful Jhat the continuance 'of our present relntions was impossible and that I re alired that it wa clearly my duty to bring them to an ead it the esrliest moment compatible with the public in terest. -, - Kver since January, 1919, I hive been conscious of the fact that you no longer were disposed to welcome my advice ia matters pertaining to tne negotiations in Paris to our foreign service, .or to In ternational affairs in general. Holding these views, I would if I had eouaulted my personal inclination alone, have re signed as Secretary of Ktate and as eom jnissjonerto negotiate peace. I felt, how ever, that such a step might have been misinterpreted both at home and abroad and that it was my doty to cause yon no embsrsssment in carrying forward toe grest task in which you were then en gaged. Poaait-ly I erred in this, bat if I did it was with the best of motive. When I returned ta Washington in the letter part of July, 1W19, my per sonal wish to resign bad not changed but again I felt that loyalty to yon nnd my duty to the administration compell ed me to defer notion a my resigna tion might hsv been misconstrued into hostility to the ratification of the peace treaty or at leost into disapproval ef your views as to the form of ratifica tion. I. therefore, remained silent, avoiding any comment on the frequent reports that we were not ia fall agree ment. Hubsequf ntly your serious ill ness, during Abir.h, I have never seen you, imposed upon me the duty at least, I construed it to be my duty to rAuiein In ehargn.vf the Department of Mate until your health permitted you to assume again full direction of for eign affairs. Believing that that time had arrived I had prepared my resignation when my only doubt as to the propriety of pine ing it in your hands woe removed by your letter indicating tha. it would be entirely acceptable to you.

C) Piedmont What Will You Do If The Farmer Goes On Strike? In the troublous period since the signing of the armistice, labor in the United States has been involved in a series of strikes, capital "has shown a disposition to strike in the sense of not seeking investments that are essential to the country," and now the Post Office Department warns us the farmers threaten to strike "The time is very near," sayWne-btter to the Department, "when we farmers will have to curtail produc tion and raise only what we need for our own use, and let the other fellows look out for themselves." "I have just finished figuring up what the eggs, poultry, and cream that I sold last year brought me, and I will not be in the business next year," says another. Because the price of what the farmer sells is going down and the price of what he buys is going up, he is looking, it seems, with envious and resentful eyes upon the city dweller who "works only six or eight hours a day and makes two or three times as much as the farmer," whose working-day is "from twelve to sixteen hours." ' The leading article in THE LITERARY DIGEST for this week, February 14th, presents the view, of the leading farm journals upon the replies received from farmers by the Post Office Department to a ques. tionnaire which it recently sent out to two hundred thousand agriculturists. There is information in this article that deeply concerns millions of city dwellers and the warning sounded is not to be lightly ignored.
