Therefore, if Yang, J. is to take on the Chairmanship, it would seem to

me that the only safe course would be for him to resign from the Bench unconditionally, a course he may very well be unwilling to take.

I fear that my opinion on these matters will be unwelcome to

you, but I thought I ought to sound this note of caution. I must make

be very willing to give your Secretary of State such help and advice as

he can.

Your sincerely,

J. W. Bourne
