REPUBLICANS MAY nppos PROROSA L E FOB LARGE ARMY Mondell Refuses to Let Party Make Universal Training Issue in Presidential Campaign. By David Lawrence CopyrqtbUd, 1820. Washington, Jan. 29.- Pew things hav disappointed politically minded Democrat here more' than the statement of Representative Mon dell, Republican leader of the house, that he is opposed to uni versal military training., And this is not because the Democrats favor military training for the nation's youth, but because they had hoped the Republican party would make the mistake of passing such legisla tion. While on the surface there has been much talk of making the treaty an Issue In the next campaign er carrying the "Jaw ' and order" controversy Into the presidential contest, the political sharps have reallyseen a great opportunity In the military training question, especially because of the well founded suspicion that if Leonard Wood were the Repub , Ucan candidate he would warmly ' espouse the cause of military training. SOOTH AND WEST SOLID Now when the Democrats had sup posed the Republican party was froing to commit Itself to a military training or peace-time conscription . program, when Senator Wadsworth. chairman of the senate military affairs committee, and other Republicans in the senate seemed eager to pass legislation of that kind, along; comes Leader Mondell with the declaration that any Republican who is responsible for such legislation wouU soon find himself In political oblivion. Without question the strongest senti ment against military training seems to come from the West and the South, and Is not confined to elUier party. Indeed., Secretary Baker of the Democratic ad ministration has Indorsed the senate's program, but Democrats on the hill are Inclined to think the secretary of war la Influenced by the prevailing atmos phere of the war department, where hardly" an officer of high rank Is to be found who doesn't favor military training. 1ABOE FEARS ABMT Objections to the program, however, come from varied sources. There are conflicting ideas about how the returned soldier feels. While he is said to re gard the advantages of military training as indispensable to national defense, he doesn't think the next war is near enough to warrant turning over the na tion's youth to the large number of regular army officers who want to keep busy and thus retain their promotions. The handling of large bodies of troops would require almost as many officers of high rank as if America had a big standing army, so while it is argued that the adoption of military training would' reduce the sise of the standing array opponents of the program point out that it doesn't reduce the number of officers by any great number. Moreover, national guard units are in many cases behind the opposition. Also labor organisations fear that to create a large federal force might lead t abuse that -would adversely . affect them. ' ' EAST PAETICTIAB1T ACTIVE j They look askance at the sending of too many federal troops around the coun try to interfere In labor disputes. Con versely it la true that many large manu facturers and associations of employers expressed their approval of the mili tary training project and lent sums of money to campaigns of education in its behalf. Few people take seriously the notion that the manufacturing Intents want to see a large military force created for domestic purposes. The fact that a strong position nas oeen ut.eii uj uw employer class In the East especially ,,,,.., mimed ausDlcton in labor two, . v v . - circles, and when It comes to exertir.g Influence upon congress, mere s no more xubtle and effective power than that wielded by organized labor In checking legislation thought to be In imical to Its interests. COST CHIEF UEASOT- But the most significant part of Leader Mondell's statement, and the one which probably Is the controlling reason for iiinn is the immense cost of peace-time conscription. He estimates It would cost Jl.OOO.OOO.OOO a year, and con tends that bond Issues would be neces rv n mkse the revenue. This Is in a time, moreover, when the Republican party Is trying to make a record for economy. Appropriations have been cut right and left and the spectacle of Senator Wadsworth of New York, Republican chairman of the senate mili tary affairs committee, pleading again and again with the senate not to reduce needed military appropriations, has been one of the interesting sidelights in the controversy between house and senate Republicans. The record of the Democratic admin istration on military training is not al together consistent. President Wilson and Secretary Baker have from time to time expressed their approval In princi ple, and only when a scheme of voca tional education was added to the mil itary training program did the White House begin to be sympathetic. The American Legion at the Minneapolis meeting expressed sympathy with uni versal military training, but suggested that it be managed by civilians rather than military men. - "- There is little doubt at this writing that Representative Mondell's advice will eventually be followed by the Re publican party. He is a shrewder poli tician than the Democrats believed. They thought he would walk Into the trap increase the cost of government by bil lions of dollars, knock sky high his own f inurements about economy and enable Democratic orators to go out In the next campaign and win votes again in the West with the outcry against a militar ised government. Mondell comes from Wyoming and knows how the West feels about military training. It was hard enough to .con vert that section of the country to the moderate program of preparedness ad vertised by President Wilson while the European war was in progress, and when It seemed that the United States might be drawn in. That s why it is doubly hard to convince many congressmen from the West that with a bankrupted and exhausted Europe and a war-weary world there is any need for spending $1,000,000,00 tt a year for the next iXO years at least in military training. McNary's Plan for Park Gets Approval Of Land Committee Washington, Jan. 29. (WASHING TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL) The senate public lands committee has authorised Senator McNary to report his bill to enlarge Crater Lake park by an addition of the Diamond lake region as recommended by the interior depart ment.

Looking to the protection of possible power development on a large scale at Cascade locks, Representative Sinnott has been inquiring into the ques tion of any interference that might result from spanning the Columbia river with a bridge at that point, as pro posed in the bills of Senator Jones and Representative Johnson of Wash ington. Mr. Sinnott obtained data from John H. Lewis, former state enegineer of Oregon, who reported some years ago upon the power project He was ad vised by Mr. Lewis that the bridge should be 140 feet above the river to take care of all clearance contingen cies. Instead, of the 100 feet named in the bill. He was informed by the war depart ment that this could be looked after by the department without the necessity of amending the hill, as "under the super vising power, when plans are submitted the department will make full inquiry and will not approve the plans unless they protect ali requirements for navi gation and power development The department has been furnished the Lewis data In expectation of the early passage of one of the bills. The Jones bill has passed the senate, and both bills are on the house calendar. Quarantined Vessel Is Allowed to Sail Halirax. N. 8.. Jan. 29. (U. P.)
