ARMY STRENGTH
SHOULD BE CUT If
NAVY IS SHORN
House Thinks Borah
Resolution, Lacks
Breadth.
By DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial to The Argus.)

Washington, May 2S.-President
Harding and Representative Mon
dell, Republican leader Of the
house, have practically agreed that
II any expression is made by the
congress OF the United States on
the subject of disarmament it ought
to include not merely the reduction
Of naval armament but the land
armament as well.
Mr.. Mondell today asked the presi-
dents advice on a situation which
has arisen in the house which
must now pass upon the Borah reso-
luton unanimously adopted by the
senate and providing merely that
the United States consult with
Japan and Great Britain about the
reduction Of naval armament. The
house membership, generally
speaking, feels that the Borah reso-
luton is not broad enough and
that not only the naval but the
military forces of the world should
be reduced in size in order that the
tax burden may be less everywhere
and economic reconstruction thus
aided.
Again and again the house has
expressed itself in favor of either
naval holiday or general disarma-
ment and Representative MOndell
told the president that he believed
the house would like to broaden
| the scope of the Borah resolution.
He inquired If Mr.. Harding had
any objection to such a course and
found that the president would sign
any resolution which the leaders Of
both houses worked out
| The president is committed to
disarmament-sO are all the Repub-
lican leaders but the method and
form of reaching a conclusion on
this vital subject has brought out
some differences of opinion. Funda-
mentally there was no objection to
Mr.. Borah's purpose but 1t was felt
that the subject ! was one that
should be left to the president to
work out in his own way.
MOndell Explains.
But as Mr. Mondell explained to-
day to the president and it is q con-
ditiQn and not-a theory which faces
the house. For the senate has
unanimously adopted the Borah
resolution. The house cannot ig-
more that vote. Nor does it desire
to do SO il the executive is ready to
proceed with the movement for dis
armament The house has merely
waited upon the wishes Of the
president.
Mr.. Mondell found the president
ready to proceed with the disarma'
ment plan and therefore the lead.
ers Of the two houses will work out
a compromise resolution which
will authorize the president to cal
a conference Of the nations Of th,
world to discuss the reduction o
land and sea armaments and vii
leave it to Mr.. Harding's discretion
to say what nations shall be In
vited and when the conference
> shall take place.
