HARDING GIVES HIS VIEWS
on DISARMAMENT QUESTION

ST. AUGUSTINE. FLA, Feb. H.
81 will do everything that is bccom-
ing to bring about the cooperation
Of the United States In any scheme
for world disarmament"
President cleo, Warren G.. Harding
thus summarized his views of inter-
national disarmament in an exclusive
statement to Il Universal Service cor
respondent today.
Il am not prepared at this time to
detail the steps to be taken. but
uncuuivocaliy indorsc the idea of
bringing about limitation of arma-
mcnts or international disarmament
in which all nations would play their
parts" continued the next President.
1t can be authoritativciy stated
that MIR. Harding as President would
welcome an international disarma-
ment congress at which the United
States and all the great powers
would be represented. and at which
Il practical scheme for disarmament
would be evolved.
Under the terms OF the canal ap-
preparations act OF 1916. there is car
ried an appropriation of 100000 to
pay the salaries and expenses OF
American representatives TO any world
congress on disarmament that would
be called. This fund Is still avail
able. and would he ready at hand
whenever President Harding would
decide that the other great powers
are approachable on this greatest of
all humanitarian enterprises.
