By Robert J. Bender. (United News Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, June 29 Tho pres ent inequality of battlo cruiser strength as between the United States, Great Britain and Japan Is the crux of tho whole disarmament prob lem so far as tho American govern ment is concerned. Despite the fact that President Harding supports the principle of armament reduction and congress is about to agree upon a pro vision expressing Its positive sympa thy for the cause this disparity In battle cruiser forces among the three leading naval powers must be elimi nated before the United States can bind Itself to disarmament procedure it may be nuthorllatvely stated.

CELESTIAL ROAMER FADES INTO SPACE PONS-WINNECKE COMET PASSES FROM VISIBILITY TODAY, AS. TRONOMERS SAY. Hy United Press MOUNT HAMILTON, Cal., June 29 The comet, Pons Winnecke, pass ed through the point of visibility to the naked eye today and Is rapdly growing fainter, according to officials of the Lick observatory. It is now in tho . ninth magnitude of bright ness, precluding any further vlsi blllty of tho celestial traveler. Little astronomical display, me teorlc or otherwise, was noted while tho comet passed the earth. The battle cruiser, regarded now r.n of equal If not greater fighting valii" than tho battleship, constitutes the main dllema. Great Britain today lias six first class battlo cruisers and four second class. Japan has four battlo cruisers of (he first class. Tho United Slates has no battle cruisers of elt'i er the first or second class. The pies ont cruiser program provides for the completion of six first class battle cruisers hy this government In 192.1, vessels which will bo the equal of any afloat of that typo. They are deemed vitally necessary to properly protect tho merchant marine this country ox pectB to build up. Were those eruls ers built today, there Is reason to be lieve an International armament re duction conference might be called now. But they won't bo completed be fore 1923. There Is, therefore, the question now or seeking some formula which may eventually attain the disarma ment object desired. If any confer ence Is held within the near future, it would unquestionably bo limited to dis cussions of such a formula. This gov eminent would not place itself in ilio position for example of being utd.ed to agree to a naval hollda) now, both because tltla would entail a tn-uieu dous financial loss in the work begun on Its new cruiser program and bo cause of Its naval strength being ac tually Inferior to that of Japan Neith er could we expect England and Jap un to sink (heir battle cruisers already built, In order to establish a more equal foot int. i.
