TELL LEADERS
NOT TO REDUCE
NAVYSTRENGTH
Congress Influenced
By Harding and
Root.
BIT DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial to The Argus.)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-The IN
fluence Of President-elect Harding
and Elfhu Root, both of whom ad-
tised Republican leaders in con-
gress that it would be 'unwise to
commit America for the present to
q reduction of naval armament,
finally has prevailed. And the seq
ate committee on naval affairs has
recommended that construction on
ships already authorized be con-
tinued until an international dis
armament agreement makes it safe
to do otherwise.
About the time that Senator
Borah began his campaign for a
three party agreement whereby
Japan, the United States and Great
Britain would .agree to reduce
naval armament, the movement in
congress to cut down naval appro-
priations on ships already under
construction began to grow to an
alarming extent. One day Re-
publican member Of congress hap
pened to be calling upon Secretary
Daniels at the navy department.
I'm going to, Marion tomorrow"
said the Republican member with
smile, - any message to Sen
ator HardingT'
"Yes," replied Mr.. Daniels with a
twinkle in his eye, Tell Harding
to loek out or he won't have any
navy by the time he's inaugurated
the fellows on the hill are liable
to take it away from him before he
gets a chance I'd negotiate for dis
armament"
Several days later the same view
was brought to President-elect
Harding from other quarters. The
plan of having Elihu Root write a
letter to members of the house
committee ON naval affairs was
adopted in order to prevent action
in the house that might embarrass
Mr.. Harding when he took Office
/ Similar conferences with senate
! leaders ensued and MIR. Harding
made it plain that it would be un-
wise for the United States to take
the initiative in disarmament wher
there was no assurance concerning
the attitude OF other powers, and
that it would be particularly EN-.
barrassing if the United States
scrapped her navy and then sal
down to the table with the othel
powers in an attempt to induce
them to do likewise.
| Mr.. Harding took the view thai
the>United States would have mucl
7 more influence at disarmament

tinued to build the ships which
had already been authorized but i
she showed the world that sh,
would continue to expand he
