M'ADOO GIVES
REASONS FOR
HIS QUITTING
Special correspondence from Wash
ington says the people of the National
capital have accepted at its lace and
without reservation the reasons set
forth in the letter of Secretary of the
Treasury William (1 McAdoo for his
resignat ion
McAdoo’s Letter
I
1 Secretary McAdoo’s letter, though
1 not made public until last week, was
(luted November 14. and was as fob i
| lows:
“Dear Mr. President
“Now that an armistice has been
; signed and peace is assured. 1 feel at
liberty to advise you of my desire to
return, as soon as possible, to private
| life
: “1 have been conscious for some
time of the necessity for this step,
i but, of course, I could not consider
' it while the country was at war.
“For almost six years I have worked
incessantly under the pressure of a
| great responsibility. The exactions
have drawn heavy on my strength
| The inadequate compensation allowed
by law to cabinet officers (as you
I know I receive no compensation as
j director general of railroads) and the
very burdensome cost of living in
Washington have so depleted my per
1 sonal resources that I am obliged to
reckon with the facts of the situation.
“I do not wish to convey the im
pressinn that there is any actual tin
1 pairnient of health, because such is
not the fact. As tin- result of long
! overwork. I need a reasonable period
of genuine rest to replenish my en
ergy. Put more than this. 1 must, for
the sake of my family, get back to
private life 111 retrieve m> personal
fort line
' I cannot sccim- tie- required rest
nor tire opportunity to look aft*r m\
long neglecte 1 private affairs unless
I am relieved of m\ present respon
sibilities
I am anxious to have my retire
! ment effected with tin- least possible
inconvenience to yours. It and to th
public service, but it would. I think, j
be wise to accept my resignation now
i as secretary of the treasury, to he !
come effective upon the appointment
and qualification of my successor, so
i that he may have the opportunity and
I advantage of participating promptly
i in the formulation of policies that
should govern the future work of the
t reasury
"I would suggest that my resigna
tion as director general of railroads
become effective January 1. l'Jl'j, or
, upon the appointment of my succes
sor.
“I hope you yvill understand, my
dear Mr. President, that 1 yvill permit
nothing but the most imperious de
mands to force my withdrawal from j
public life Always I shall cherish |
as tin* greatest honor of my career,
the opportunity you have so goner
ouslv given me to serve the country
under your leadership in those epochal
times
“Affcctionately yours.
"\V. (I McADOO."
President’s Letter of Acceptance
Tin1 I’ri -i-ident’s letter of accept

relarv of the treasury: and I sav this

some other solution of your difficulty

to resort to. Hut I have not been

Skillful In Handling Railroads
"I also for Ibe same reason accent
vour resignation as director genera1
of railroads, to take effect, ns you sug
gest. on the first of January next, or
when your successor is appointed The 1
whole world admires, I am sure, ns 1 j

with which you have handled the |
great and complex situation of the J
unified administration of the railways |
under the stress of war uses, and will
I
regret, as I do. to set* you leave that
post just the crest of its difficulty
is passed.
“For the distinguished, disinterest

you have rendered tin* country in
both posts, and especially for the wav
in which you have guided the treasury
through all the perplexities and prob
letns of transitional financial condi
tions. and of the financing of a war
which has been without precedent
alike in kind and in scope. I thank
you with a sense of gratitude that
comes from the very bottom of my
heart
