 to 100000 at Once REPUBLICANS WARNED Senate Told COP. Member ship Will Drop Unless Costs
 of Administration Cut

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3. - A warn ing to Republican leaders against in- creasing taxes in revising the inter- nal revenue bill was given in the sen ate today by Senator Borah, Republi- can, Idaho, who also proposed a re- duction in army and navy expendi- lures of nearly $500, ,000,0C0.
 The Republican membership in con- gress, he said, would be reduced if the public "clamor" for tax relief was not met.
 The Idaho senator introduced a resolution to reduce the army from 150,000 to 100000 men, which he said would effect a saving of about $10O,- 0O0,000 and asked the naval commit tee to report a resolution of Senator King, Democrat.

HARDING SAYS RESERVE BANKS
 SAVED COUNTRY
 FROM COLLAPSE
Governor of System Claims Boards Only Aim Was to
 Meat Break in Prices SAYS TIMES ARE BETTER We Can be Bolder Now," is His Summary of Condi-
 tions in Nation

WASHINGTON, Aug. ,. - Reserve bank policies of 1919 and 1920 were formulated solely to prevent the country's banking system from col lapse and were successful in their ob- ject, Governor Harding of the reserve board declared today in closing a two days appearance before a joint con- gressional commission. To question: CTS he repeated time and again a dec laration that the board had not sought 10 influence prices, either up or down, but had prepared to meet a price break that was worldwide, and yet to maintain and expand cred it lines.
 There was a bare possibility, he said, that if in 1919 the reserve board had raised national re-discount rates, tthe runaway in prices might have been checked, and the result might have been better" but he mentioned needs of the govrnmnt financing as influential in determining the course actually taken.
 Representative Sumner, Democrat, Texas, suggested that the world might have gone out'' from the board to bankers to be fearful of prices, but Governor Harding said that noth- ing had been done inconsistent with his statement.
 Tt wasn't a good time to be talk ing too much-in 1920" he remarked, but we can be bolder now"
 He made a suggestion that the com mittee might utilize the farm loan board as a means of extending short time credits to farmers, for nine and twelve month periods, but said he would make no detailed recommen- dation.
 All over the country we find that agricultural and livestock interests find they need more credit facilities ,'' he said, land want some time to make themselves independent of banks. The farmers credit horizon is necessarily limited and local Any man hesi- tates about getting the government in business, and we can't use the reserve system for that, because it's funds are essentially reserve funds, but consid- CT there is a possibility that the farm loan banks might be extended to meet the need. The question needs study .''
 Governor Harding denied that his administration of reserve bank poli- cies had deflated cotton prices.
 He emphasized his present belief that cotton prices were stabilized with short crop in prospect and that prices could be relied upon completely for all proper credit operations.

G,O.P. LEADERS AND TREASURY
 EXPERTS APART
 ON TAX ISSUE
Estimates of Nations Expen- ditures For Year Are
 Widely Divergent
GENERAL CUTS URGED
House Leaders Declare All Departments Must Spend
 Less Than Allowed

WASHINGTON, Aug ,. - Treas ury experts and Republican leaders in the house of representatives are tar apart in their estimates of federal expenditures and income for this iis- cal year.
 The committee dealing with tax re- vision has before it figures F-oFarec by Chairman Madden, of the appro- priatlons committee, which are said to show a smaller probable outgo than given in Secretary Mellon's state ment of yesterday and considerably larger income.
 Other house leaders also have pre- pared their own estimates and on the basis of the whole they insist that it will be entirely possible to reduce taxes by half a billion dollars. Demo- cratic leaders, on the ether hand, say this is not possible unless there is to be a huge deficit at the end of the year Bringing up the tax question in the senate, Senator Borah, Repub- lical, Idaho, declared today the army and navy were the only places where cuts could be made to meet Secre- tary Mellons recommendations and warned against any increased taxes.
 House leaders in arriving at their estimates have declared for general cuts and they expect all departments to spend less than the sums actually provided.
 Representative Madden declared the people ought not to be assessed in single year to pay the $545,2s6,- 900 due the railroads under the trans portation act under federal control, adding that by spreading this sum cut, there would be a big reduction in estimated expenditures this year.
 Madden also was of the opinion that there should be some reductions in the estimated S551, 100000 expen- ditures on account of the public debt. As to estimated income, the appro- priations committee chairman said that treasury officials had agreed that probably $100,000,000 more could be collected on account of back taxes than the $235, 100000 total given in | treasury estimates. He also believed that miscellaneous revenues for the ! year would be larger than had been estimated

M|SCONSTRUED IDEAS IT ]. ]. PLANS CLEARED
 UP IN LONDON
British Imperial Council is Told England Ready to
 Accept U. s. Views
NO MISUNDERSTANDING
All Obstacles to Armament Conference Will be Re
 moved, is Pledge

LONDON, Aug. ,. - (By the Asso- ciated Press.) - That there existed some misconception of President Harding's invitation for a conference for the discussion of armament limi- tation and Pacific questions is indi- cated by a summary of the proceed ings of the imperial conference, is- sued tonight at the conclusion of the last session of that body.
 Tn accordance with the suggestion which was believed to have been made by the American government that the conference on disarmament should be preceded by friendly conversations or consultations between the powers principally concerned in future of the Far East and the Pacific, says the summary, the imperial conference was anxious that for the Anglo-Jap- anese there should be substituted some larger arrangement beCween the three powers concerned, manly the United States. Japan and Great Brit ain, and holding the firm conviction that later conferences on disarma- ment, to Which they attach trans cendant importance, could bes: pe made productive by mutual under standing on Pacific problems by those powers, discussed in. these prelimi- nary conversations or consultations, which the American government had in principle agreed should be held in London.
 fl min Q summary, that :. Ivre was some mis- understanding as to the nature of the suggested preliminary conversations, the British government. in a desire to remove any possible misconception and to meet what it believed to be the American view, volunteered to at tend a meeting on the other side of the Atlantic, at which the agenda of the Washington conference could be discussed.
 Premier Lloyd George, Marquis Cur. zon and the dominion premiers were opposed to attend such a meeting if invited by the American government Japan also had sIgnified hef willing ness to attend. The American gov. ernment, however. did not favor the idea, which accordingly was dropped
 At no stage was it stated that the result of such consultation should either anticipate the work or tie the hands Of the Washington conference
 On the other hand, the imperial conference made the proposal because it was anxious to remove every possi ble obstacle from the path of the Washington meeting. which it desired to see attended by full success.

 The committee today heard wit nesses in opposition and for an em- bargo Antagonism between the two sides was sholn frequently during the day.
