LEADERS DISCUSS
MILITARY AFFAIRS
No Change In Policy Con-
templated Say the Par
Elephants

Washington, January 6--Last nights
conference between Secretaries Garrison
and Daniels and congressional leaders on
the nations military preparedness devei-
ored only a general discussion of the sit
uation and did not involve consideration
of any change In policy, according to
statements today by officials who attend
ed The only conclusion reached. 1t was
said. was that extensive additional expen-
ditures during the coming year would be
inadvisable.
Secretary Garrison explained that he
had called the conference because he
deemed the time ripe for consideration of
the public defense. What has been hap
penirg in Europe during the past FIVE
months, he said, had caused an awaken
Ing in this country, making it likely that
the American people would sanction ac-
ton outside the routine toward improv-
ing the countrys defense. Two years ago,
the secretary added, the people were not
Thinking particularly about army or navy.
There was no discussion Of a change of
policy, Mr.. Garrison said because none
was necessary. The object of the meeting
was to bring out the Views of the diff
ferent branches of the government, not
on the subject of getting an ideal system
of public defense, but on what was the
best thing to be done at present with
the means at hand or in prospect.
Representative Underwood presented to
the conference an outline of the revenues
and expenditures of the government pro-
posed for the next fiscal year, showing
economies must be enforced to prevent a
large deficit This fact, as we'll as the
difficulty of forcing through at the pres
ent short session of Congress any measure
likely to stir up controversy, was pointed
to as sufficient reason for declining to
undertake at this time any considerable
changes In the military situation

the house yesterday. but action there
on was postponed for n day, so that

hitting the amendment to two assem-,
iblies and requiring but a majority
vote of each.

spoke regarding this method OF
amending the constitution and urged
careful consideration OF the plan. Mr..
