POWERFUL NAVY
FOR j. {. IS AIM
HARDING FAVORS
Present Building Prog
ram Will Not Be Halted
by Disarmament Talk.
Binding Agreement With
Nations of World Aim
Representative Is Told.

Marion, Ohio, Jan. S.--A naval policy
to keep the United States one Of the
strongest sea powers in the world until
binding disarmament agreement can be
reached, was discussed at conference
here Saturday between President Elect
Harding and Representative Butler Of
Pennsylvania, chairman of the house
naval committee.
The present attitude of Senator Hard
ing, it was said, pointed to a confinua-
ton during his administration Of the
fleet construction program now in prog
ress. Coupled with this program, how
ever. would be material curtailment in
the number of civilian employees Of the
navy department and various economies
in the land stations under navy iHris-
diction.
Fayors Efficient Navy.
Mr.. Harding long has favored an eff
cient navy as the first line of American
defense and he is understood to feel a
big navy policy might be continued
practically if steps are taken to curtai
the strength Of the army along the lines
he approved yesterday in conference with
Chairman Kahn Of the house military
committee.
He also favors strongly the reserve
system for both army and navy, and is
understood to have Indicated to Char
man Butler that an adequate naval re
serve should be considered one of the
requisites to national defense.
The whole question of the navy hinges,
however, on what progress may be
found possible in the movement for q
general reduction Of armament through
out the world. Mr.. Butler, who is in
clined to place little faith in the pro
posal, expects to develop in committee
hearings next week all the information
available on probable consequences of
disarmament. This information he will
turn over to Mr.. Harding.
Seeks Powers Desire.
II am determined to know" said the
committee chairman Saturday night,
what the other nations of the world
sincerely desire in the way Of an agree
ment to limit armament and especially
that Of the sea.
Mr.. Butler called Mr. Harding's atten-
tion to the provision of the naval apDro-
priation bill Of 1916. requesting the pres
ident to make a canvas of world senti-
ment in regard to disarmament. he
recommended the new administration
take advantage Of this authorization and
seek an exchange of international opinion
quite similar to the plan for an associa-
tion of nations.

tO lUW1uSy 1911.
Governor Allen expressed approval of
steps taken by former service men to
combat the campaign directed by Mr..
Townley to intrench the Nonpartisan
league among farmers Of the state.
Towney, he said had seized upon a
period of discomfort among Kansas farm
ers, attendant upon the reconstruction
period to spread "specious appeals to
class hatred"
American legion posts, which had be-
gun a publicity campaign against Town
ley and the league received commenda
ton from the governor Although the
legion as an organization has with
drawn from the fight. the former SER
vice men who compose its membership
have banded together in a defense
league" to prevent Townley from gain
ing footing in the state.
Seeks New Fields. Charge.
"Townley has been able to present to
North Dakota a lot of dreams which
seemed real, said the governors state
ment. "The Nonpartisan league has
lost control of the state government,
The weakness and costs Of his scheme
have finally been exposed and ToWnley
is hunting for new fields.
"Townley and his tribe opposed ap-
preparations for the war supplies and
war materials upon which the very life
of American legion boys depended at
that hour. In the early days of the war
their attitude discouraged voluntary
enlistment, discouraged the selective
service law and tended to prevent the
government from meeting all its obliga-
tions to the period. Lacking the cour-
age to 60 to war for Germany, they be-
came in effect, German emissaries in
the rear.
'The former service men are oppos-
ing Townleysm with orderly propa-
ganda and SO long as they express their
opposition to ToWnleyism with the brave
self restraint which they now exhibit,
the state will have every reason to be
grateful.
Makes Glass Warfare
This effort Of Townley's comes Mt
time when he might expect to gain
some headway in Kansas. There is dis
content over the unfortunate conditions
which have come to the farmer in the
period of reconstruction.
II am in sympathy with every honest
effort to aid the farmer. I believe that
the forthcoming legislative session
should give the most constructive atten-
ton to his problems, which involve
credit, cooperative marketing and pro-
lection against damaging conditions, but
/ share with the legion the belief that
Townleyism means merely the effort to
work upon the prejudices for the pur
pose Of creating a class warfare which
will benefit no one, except as it may
enrich the pockets Of ToWnley and mis-
crowd to the extent Of the membership
fees
"It is merely another effort on the
part of those who do not farm, to farm
the farmer
