ministration plans" said Senator Gal
linger at the White House, but have
not studied all the details yet. The
Republicans will not treat this matter
in a partisan manner and l so told the
President. We will honestly cooper
ate with the party in power in working
out defense plans which will be ade-
quate and sane. But he will not agree
to have the Democrats form their
plans in caucus and then ask us to ap-
prove them. The question of prepar-
ing for the defense OF the nation is
not Il party one and the Republicans
are ready to meet the demands half
way If the majority party is really
willing to discuss this question on a
non-partisan basis
Disagrccs on Merchant Marine
Senator GallinEer disagreed with the
President on his plan for merchant
marine and for raising the money nee
essary for preparedness. When the
administration shipping bill is intro
duced, Senator Gallinger said he would
offer substitute. The Republicans,
however. he added, Favored using the
merchant marine as naval auXiliaries.
Senator Gallinger advocated a bond
issue and opposed President Wilson's
program of internal taxation. He
particularly objected to tax on au-
tomobileS and gasoline. He Said
however, that he favored lowering the
income tax minimum and he believed
"a tax on bank checks would do no
harm. He opposed a tax on iron and
steel.
Representative Mann. Republican
leader of the House, will discuss the
national defense plans with the Presi-
dent tomorrow.
In a conference to-day Chairmen
Chamberlain and Hay, of the military
committees, decided not TO introduce
bills they have prepared at this time
but to submit them informally to the
committee for deliberation. IF we
should introduce them now they
might he construed as partisan meas
urcs," Senator Chamberlain said.
