Harding Wants
Congress Expression
on Disarmament

Washington, June 29--It is wholly
desirable" to have the expression of
a favorable opinion on the part of
Congress relating to world diSarm-
ament and ''it would seem to me am
pie if it should be expressed in the
broadcast and most general terms, '
President Harding wrote today to
Representative Mondell of Wyom
ing. the republican leader in the
House.
II am vastly more concerend with
the, favorable attitude of the Con-
gross on this question than | am as
to the form of expressing that atti-
tude," the President said. You may
! be sure that the executive will be
ready to give every consideration =
such expression as the members of
the two houses Of Congress find
themselves disposed to make
The text of the Presidents COM
munication follows:
There haYe come to my attention
the questions in disagreement be-
| tween the two houses of Congress on
the naval bill, and l understand they
are in process of adjustment, but
that some difficulty has been expert :
enced in arriving at d satisfactory
agreement with regard TO the Ian
euage TO he used in expressing the
favorable attitude of Congress to-
wards efforts to secure international
agreements for the limitation OF
ornaments.
"A number Of members of Con-
gress have been good enough TO in
quire as to the form Of expression on
the part of Congress which might
seem most advisable from an Jdmints-
tration viewpoint.
Il have said to lnQuIrers, as | am
now pleased to say to you, that il is
not of particular concern te the ad-
ministration what form the expression
of Congress shall take, though it is
most agreeable that Congress shall
express itself in favor Of securing, if
possible. an international agreement
upon d program from the limitation of
ornaments.
Il think il has been pretty Wei un-
derstood that the administrative
branch of the government has already
been seeking Information with regard
TO the attitude of foreign nations on
the general subject OF disarmament.
These inquiries and negotiations will
be continued. and the time ana man
ner in which the matter may be for
maliy presented to foreign govern
ments can only be determined after the
fuller development of inquiry and al
ready initiated.
1T is wholly desirable to have the
expression of a favorable opinion on
II L part of Congress relating to rhis
world question, and it would seem to
me ample if it should be expressed III
the broadest and most general terms.
Il am vastly more concerned with
the favorable attitude of the Congress
on this question that l am as to the
firm Of expressing that attitude. You
may be sure that the executive will
be ready to give every consideration
