Senatorial Shibboleth.

Washington, May ia test of Re

which is expected to prove to Presi-

are standing almost solidly with him.
is due this week on the Borah naval
disarmament proposal in connection
with the navy appropriation bill.
Republican leaders are letting it be
known unoffieially today that they in
tend to make the vote on Borah's pro-
posal "a matter of confidence in their

senate is slipping and at the same
cratic canards'' regarding a Break"
between Harding and Republican SEN
ators on foreign affairs.
Odds Favor G.. o. p. Chiefs.
All the odds at this time favor a vic
tory for G. o. p. chiefs who, it appears
certain, will be able to defeat Borah' S
rider to the naval bill for an interna-
uonal conference on naval disarma-
ment. But the indications are Just as
clear that the proposed test of Senator
Lodges leadership may be the real
one.-s
This is because a. good many Re
publican senators, including some of
the new ones from the middle west
and northwest. are inclined to be i'm
pressed by Borah's arguments for
economy. He not only wants the in
ternatonal conference; he is fighting
determinedly for reduction of the
$100.000,000 increase the senate naval
committee made in the bill. With the
help of Senator, King. Utah, a Demo
| crat, Borah continued today to, scruti-
niZe every increase made by the SEN
| ate committee, including one of So
eo0,e00 for fuel s4ro0Q00Q, for food;
100000 for naval pay, and, scores
| of smaller increases which, run the
bill up from $500 100000, which the
| house provided, to approximately hall
