State. Secretary Hughes' resignation, and the announcement of Ambassador Kellogg's appointment (TIME, Jan. 19) remained the object of much comment. Here is a collection of reasons assigned for Mr. Hughes' resignation :
2) That the presence of Senator Borah, with whom Mr. Hughes differs on policies, at the head of the Foreign Relations Committee of the Senate meant lack of team work and Mr. Hughes preferred to resign. (Probably a contributory reason.)
3) That Mr. Hughes desired to undertake a policy of more active participation in international affairs, which policy the President opposed. (Secret explanation of the "real reason.")
4) That the President wanted a policy of more active participation in international affairs, which policy Mr. Hughes opposed. (Another secret explanation of the "real reason.")
5) That Mr. Hughes wishes to be a candidate for President in 1928 and looks forward to strengthening his position by leaving the Cabinet. (Still another secret explanation of the "real reason.")
