NO HEAD OF STATE
The United States, for the first time in its history, was recently left, without cither President or Vice-President on American soil. President Roosevelt resumed in Atlantic waters the fishing holiday that started a fortnight before in the Pacific, and the Vice-President (Mr Garner) was on his way to the Philippines. In the past, arrangements have always been made for the Vice-President to bo either in Washington or within a few hours’ journey of it whenever the President is travelling abroad. This precaution is less necessary now, for .Mr Roosevelt is constantly in touch with the capital by wireless, and could hurry there by aeroplane at short notice.
