Harding la both concerned and Irritated
at the atltude ( congress lu slashing
the funds rr maintaining the Araericea
army and nary,
There h every indication that; the
ruciUn and of the avenue la la for
a showdown with congress on th whole
subject , : ,-J V ' ' '
As the .president views It, there aeema

new moment of heavenly beatowed peace
ere oura." '. '.'.

' This, aa high off iclala eee It,'
dangerous frame of salad for congress
or the country to embrace.
The president- hi la no mood te yield
to thoae carrying coomb? to the point
where 'he will Countenance "going to
extremes." ' . ' ,
With all his hope of what the future
may effect ' with the arms conference aa
a basis, he doea not believe that we have
reached the stage where we can be per
fectly ' secure, without adequate armed
forces. ' . .
As he look at the situation, the paci
fist and economy propagandists have
created acute stage 'of v reaction,
threatening maintenance of euch ade
quate foroee.
VETO THB.EATI3SD ,
And- hie personal view, -which either
hae been or will be communicated to
congress at the proper time, la that he
ILT not Approve any measures which
leave the nation, with merely a skeleton
ei serenes in us army
branches. .
The president "has net 10.000 men as
the minimum for safety In the navy,
despite efforts of corigrtaa to reduce the
figure to f 0.000. The army, he believes.
sbould not be reduoed below 130.000 men.
though the bouse appropriations com
mlltee haa threatened to reduoe the pres
ent strength from leT.OOO to 115.000 or
less. ., ,. ' .
Secretary of War Weeks and Secretary
of the Navy Deaby have now entered
the flsht with Harding against the eon
groaslonsl cam pal sn far economy. Hard
ing and the cabinet apparently believe
that Chairman Madden of the house ap
propriations committee la attempting to
usurp not only executive authority, but
also dominate congress.
OPEBAnOJTI GO AHEAD
There lev therefore, the greatest Slg
itiricance In the fact that after Secretary
Denby had decided to Issue orders stop
ping fleet movements because Madden's
'eommlttee curtailed appropriations for
fuel oil, he changed his plane after
Friday's cabinet meeting aad la going
.ahead with , all necessary fleet opera
' tieas, despite Mad den's warning against
Incurring further deficit. .
Orders tying up the fleets are not
so lag to be sent out and necessary de
. ficteoclee will be Incurre "until eon
cress as a whole issues L mandate en
the point.- highest ' naval. fUcinin nay;
In other words, the navy Is not going
to act merely on' the. decision of the
house appropriations committee as tt has
in tne past. ' . ; ,
'. Meantime : Secretary Weeks, on a rest
trip la the South, has Issued a statement
that the boose committee's decision - to
slash from lfts.0Oa0O0 to t0.0oe,Oe from
the war department's.- appropriations
would mean-a decrease ef t least one
third of the army forts, poets and traln
(ng camps and flying fields w the
country.;',' . :-.
COMTHTK CKAWQK WOSSIBIK .,
Both Weeks and the president are op
posed to this curtailment, which, they
believe, would certainly result from re
ducing the army to 157.000 or under.
. llardlag takes Aha position . that until
the national guard la organised and
trained as a dependable emergency force,
to reduce the army under 110.000 men
would be te skeletonise It beyond the
eatery point. He Is not averse to some
reduction of the commissioned personnel.
The whole situation is aa Interesting
outgrowth of congress -seeking to take
everything In its own hands. The fight
. may bring about that complete change
, in atUtndo ef the president toward eon

evident for some weeks. v

no financial corruption, Kelly said :

carried by scores of sophomore, who
