port favoring the bill AS had been ex-
perted, the effort failed and the minority

bearing the recommendation that the bill
do not pass. With this came a minority
report signed by but two members,
Crouch and Beley, asking for favorable
consideration.
Crouch Charges Discourtesy.
Crouch, who chamnioned the measure
in the committee, addressed the house
in support of the minority report, stat
ing that he was actuated by a sense of
fair play and decency. He said it had
become notorious that the results of the
deliberations of the committee on new
counties had been practically nil. He
said Cascade county was one of the
wealthiest and largest in the state and
that, at the hearing on this bill, prac-
tically all the opposition had come from
the outside and most of it from Great
Falls. He stated that. at the hearing
the great mass of data and figures sub
mitted by the supporters of the new
county had not even been considered.

member, when we have got to call a

CAN HALT PROGRAM IF
DISARMAMENT CONTINUES

Washington. Feb. 4.--it was dis
closed in the house today, that, with
his inside knowledge of the peace
conference, President Wilson sees
no reason for the United States
haiting the development of arma-
ments, and that, unless something
develops otherwise, the world viii
still have to keep its fist mailed.
The disclosure came in the an
nouncement by Chairman Padgeft,
OF the naval committee, that Presi-
dent Wilson, in a cahlegram, last
week, to Secretary Daniels, insisted
that congress adopt the new three
year naval building program.
The announcement was followed
by futile efforts of republican mem
bers to obtain the text of the mess
age.
A cross fire of questions from re-
publican representatives disclosed
that the president had sent mess
age urging the necessity Of passing
the bill. Representative Gillett, OF
Massachusetts, asked if the message
said that the failure of the bill
would be ..fataI to my negotiations

as intimating that the United States

dents cablegram was responsible Tor th'

and ten scout cruisers. carried III thf
new $3.50 100000 naval appropriation
bill, consideration of which was begur
today III the house.
Mr.. Padgett refused to make public
the text Of the message on the grounc
that questions Of foreign policy were in
volved in its contents.
"The president was very earnest
and very insistent that the three
wear program should be carried
out" declared Mr.. Padgett. I'm sub
stance, the president stated that
nothing had occurred over there to
chance the recommendations of his
annual message, however, that he
was willing that if there were deveI-
Opments in the way of tribunals for
disarmament and a league of ma
tion6, he would be willing that pro-
viso should be inserted to allow him
to discontinue or stop the program"
Only one member Of the house oppos-
ed the proposed naval expansion during
the debate today. Representative Hud-
dlestone, of Arizona, criticized the bill
as representing A policy of imperialism
that would saddle the country with 9
burden of militarism" and would lead
to another war Representative Kelly, oi
Michigan, republican member of the ma
val committee, urged the expansion, as
did Representative Miller of Washington
