that is unnecessary. Mr. Harding has

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
ing the report from Washington that
he probably would call 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 me United states

Mr.. Harding suggested 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,
