DISARMAMENT
PLAN IN FAVOR
Harding Intimates His Admin
stration VIII Cooperate
PLAN IS NOT YET READY
s. Davies Warfie'd Withholds Details
Of Conference Regarding Trans
portation Act-Rooseveit
Among Callers.

Marion, Ohio.-President-ele Hard
ing definitely confirmed that his admin.
istration will 60 into power with dis
tinct desire to bring about worldwide
reduction of ornaments and willing.
ness to cooperate with the other great
powers to that end.
Realizing that the attention of the
world, and particularly the United
States, is directed toward the enor.
nous expense of naval preparation
that is unnecessary, Mr.. Harding has
included this question in his program.
In making this known he gave what
is virtually his first hint on his future
international policy.
Heretofore announcements dealing
with the Association of Nations have
been made by visitors in Marion, pre-
sumably in all cases with the Presi-
dent-elect's approval. From then the
skeleton outline, elaborated perhaps
more fully by former President Taft
than by any other, has been obtained
and, as stated frequently, the plan has
been kept free from details.
In talk with newspaper correspond.
ents Mr.. Harding was asked concern.
:ng the report from Washington that
he probably would call a disarmament
conference in the spring. While max
ing it clear that the disarmament plan
had not got down to dates, he ex-
planned that the story probably arose
from the fact that the international
program now under consideration nat
urally includes steps looking toward
disarmament.
He announced his own position as
being cordially in favor of such steps
in cooperation with the other powers.
His ultimate purpose is to create the
machinery by which the United States
can take up the question with the 9th.
er nations. This probably would be by
direct conference, as suggested by WIS.,
itors who have returned to Washing
ton.
Mr.. Harding sugg ested that while
he did not care to discuss any set
program of reform he hoped the infor-
nation obtained in the Congressional
hearings would establish a basis for
legislation.
Col Theodore Roosevelt. who has
been mentioned for Assistant Secretary
of the Navy, called on Mr.. Harding,
stating later that they talked about
reclamation and progressive features
of the next administration.
A statement by S. Davis Warfield,
president of the National Association
of Owners Of Railroad Securities, who
conferred with Mr.. Harding, was is.
sued. Mr.. Warfeld said that because
it is the purpose Of the security own
ers' association to present data to COM

act, he felt it might be premature to
