DEM HOUSE CHIEF
AGAINST WAR PLAN
Kitchin, Party Leader in Lower
Chamber, Will Oppose Wilson's
Defense Policy.
CONFERs WITH THE PRESIDENT

WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-Repre-
sentative Claude Kitchin, democratic
leader of the house, told President
Wilson today, after long conference
with him, that he could not support
the administrators program for ma
t'Onal defense and that he would op-
pose the program in a personal ca
pacity only, and not as majority
leader.
Mr.. Kitchin was with the president
more than an hour, during which Mr.,
Wilson outlined to 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.
"All l can say said Representative
Kitchin. as he left the White House, 'is
that 1 very much regret that 1 cannot
support the presidents national defense
program. The plans do not meet with my
convictions, particularly with reference TO
the navy 1 shall make a clear exposition
Of my views as soon as congress con-
venes, in a speech in the house." he re
piled. 'Of course, 1 shall not attempt to
oppose the program as the majority
leader, but merely in my personal ca
pacity."
mr. Kitchin said no thought it very
probable that the majority would favor
the defense program.
Representative Kitchlns definite an
nouncement OF his position will make It
impossible for him to lead the fight for
the administrators program in the
house. The burden OF the leadership will
devolve probably upon Chairman Hay of
the military committee. Chairman Pad
gett OF the naval committee, Chairman
Sherley OF the Notifications committee
and Chairman Fitzgerald of the appro-
priations committee
