WILSON WORKING
 ON BROAD PLAN OF
 NATIONAL DEFENSE
President and Aids to Map Out Extensive System for New Military
 Strength

Cornish N H., August 5.-Aiming at developing broad and convincing pro- gramme of national defense which will
 meet with the approval of Congress. President Wilson is planning to CO., operate with the chairman of the mili : tary and naval affairs committees of the Senate and House, as well as with Secretaries Garrison and Daniels before finally deciding on recommendations to make in his next message to Congress. The President told friends here to- ght that while he had made no defi- nite plans for consulting with the chairmen of the committees interested in the question of national defense, he would arrange to see them before Con gress oonvenes to unite on a single pro- gramme of action.
 When the President sees the chairmen of the committees he expects to have before him reports being prepared by the heads of the war and navy depart ments who are expected to take part in the conference.
 The President already has written to Chairman Padgett of the House na- val affairs committee inviting him to
 meet him on MT. Wilson's return to Washington. While he did not say to- night whether he had written similar letters to the chairmen of the other
 committees 1t was reported he had done so.
 The President believes the time has
 come for the United States to decide
 or definite programme of national defense. He will not decide in his own mind on the kind of programme re- quired until he has thoroughly ex- amined the reports of Mir Garrison and MT. Daniels and has received the views of congressional leaders. The President expects members of the mill itary and naval committees to give and receive ideas before the appro- priation bills containing army and
 navy Items come up for discussion The plan of the President Is to con Eider carefully a programme of na-
 tional defense after free consultation
 with others and then to throw the en-
 tire weight of the administration be-
 hind the policy agreed on. As already
 indicated, the part of his next message
 devoted to national defense Is expect
 cd to be the most important of the en-
 tire document. The President, opposes a
 policy of "militarism' but thinks the
 United States should be defended.
 The reports of Secretaries Garrison
 and Daniels are expected to be ready
 next week and will be submitted to the
 President after his return to Wash
 ington.
