MAJORITY LEADER I<ITCIIIN.

Democratic Majority Leader An

ference With President.

North Carolinian Says He VIII OPP
pose Program Merely in His Per-
sonal Capacity-Thinlls Party Will
Back Administration.

WASlilNGTON. November S.-Rcprc-
sentative Claude Kitchin. Democratic
leader of the House. told President
Wilson to-day that he could not sup
port the administration's program for
national defense, and that he would op-
pose the program in personal ca
pacity only. and not AS majority
leader
Mr.. kitchin was with the President
more than AN hour. during which Mr..
Wilson outlined 10 him the army and
navy plans for the next session of
Congress. and for the next five years
and sought TO influence the majority
leader to be in harmony with them
Mr.. Kitchin stated his views frankly
TO the President, directing his opposi-
ton chiefly TO the naval program.
'All ] can say said Representative
Kitchin as he left the White House, 'is
that ] very much regret that 1 cannot
support the Presidents national de-
fense program. The plans do not
meet with my convictions. particularly
with reference TO the navy"
WILL. EXPLAIN HIS VIEWS
IN SPEECH IN HOUSE
Mr.. kitchin was asked his grounds
for opposing the naval program
snail make a clear exposition of
my views as soon as Congress con-
vencs in a speech in the House." he
replied. "Of course shall not at
tempt to oppose the program as the
majority leader. but merely in my per-
sonal capacity"
Mr.. kitchin said he thought IL very
probable that the majority would favor
the defense program.
Before seeing the President Mr.
kitchin said he approached the ma
ttonal defense subject with an open
mind. and was willing TO be convinced
of the wisdom of the administration
program II the President could give
him what he would consider a satisfac-
tory justification for the proposed large
increases in army and navy appropria-
tions. Later he said the President
had said nothing which had caused him
to change his mind.
Representative Kitchin's definite an
nouncemcnt of his position will make
1t impossible for him TO lead the fight
for the administrations program in
the House. The burden of the leader
ship will devolve probably upon Chair
man Hay, of the Military Committee:
Chairman P2dgett. of the Naval Com
mittee: Chairman Sherley. of the Forti-
fications Committee, and Chairman

WILSON AND LANSING
READ COMMENT ON NOTE
Wait Effect OF Document Upon
British Treatment of Neutral
Overseas Trade.
TURNING POINT FOR SHIPPERS
In Diplomatic Circles View Is That
United States Argues on Technical
Grounds, and Fails to Consider
Changed Circumstances OF War.

WASHINGTON, November S.-Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary Lansing to-
day read American and British news
paper comment on the note TO Great
Britain. and waited the effect of the
document upon British treatment OF
neutral overseas trade.
Ambassador Page had not reported
the impression made on the British
Foreign Office. So far as American
shippers are concerned, however. the
note marks turning point OF vast inn
portance. for henceforth the United
States is to consider the British block
ade as ineffective and Imperative, and

Of such goods will be supported by the
United States diplomacy machinery to
the fullest extent.
American officials expressed particu-
lar concern about the large trade they
claim Great Britain herself is carrying
on with neutral ports to which Ameri-
can exporters are forbidden to trade.
1t Is this feature of the situation which
defensIble They say IL Great Britain
held her own shippers to normal
trade with neutral countries. the appli-
cation of rigid measures to American
traders might be less offensive. though
the aspects of law would not be af-
fected
NOT COMMENTED
UPON OFFICIALLY
In all concerned diplomatic circles
here the note was not commented upon
officially. but n uniformity of view was
noticeable that the United States was
arguing on technical grounds, and
failed to take into consideration the
altered circumstance of the present
war and the enlarged facilities for
rapid communication by rail between
Dutch and Danish ports, for example
and German cities. French and Rus
sian officials pointed out that their gov
crnments were in sympathy with the
attitude of their ally. Great Britain

In German quarters the arguments
in the American note were commended
as sound and justified by international
law German officials. however, said
they were much more interested in
what mea sures the United States would
take to obtain acQuiescence to it's ex-
pressed views.
In view of the length OF the note, an
answer from Great Britain is not ex-
pected for at least II month
