HARDING WILL FIGHT
FOR ARMY AND NAVY
President Calls Halt on Moves
in Congress to Cripple
Services.
Special Dispatch to THE NEW yonK HERALD.

Washington. ID. c., March 3.

New York Herald Bureau,
Washington. ID. c., March 8.
President Harding is unalterably op-
posed to a reduction in the size of the
army and the navy to a point which
might endanger the safety Of the United
States He will fight all Congressional
attempts to effect Treasury economies
by radical cuts In the organized military
forces
Mr. Harding made this policy plain
to-day In a conference with members Of
the House Committee on Military At
fairs and Appropriations. calling a halt
to the disposition at the Capitol to re-
duce the army and navy. While he ex-
planned international affairs were salts
factory, the United States could not af-
ford to be crippled in a military way.
The Government, he feels. must be ready
to defend itself if occasion requires.
Mr. Harding would not wish to see the
army reduced to less than 10000 men,
and not even to this extent until the
National Guard reorganization had pro-
gressed to an extent where 1t will be
available for emergency. So far as the
navy is concerned, he believed the re-
duction should not be below $4,000 men.
The army authorization at this time is
for 15O, 900 men and the navy is around
100000
The cut in the appropriations for fuel.
which navy officers declare would put
the fleets out of commission, President
Harding regards as unfortunate, but he
is at the same time confident that a
happy medium will be discovered and
provided to solve the difficulty. He be-
lieves the reduction in the fuel estimates
arose because of two conditions-a de-
sire on the part of the naval chiefs to
have too much Of the fleet In commission
and a feeling on the part of Congress
that the navy did not have the fullest
appreciation of the Congressional
authority.
Mr. Harding explained to callers that
the American fleets were greatly aug
mented by auxiliary craft during the
war, the vessels remaining on the naval
list. There naturally Is a temptation to
keep them in commission. he feels even
though 1t Is not necessary.
While he recognizes the navy's desire
to have 200 or more destroyers cruising.
training crews and keeping up efficiency,
still he questions the advisability of
such a thing from a Government eco-
nomic standpoint.
It is recognized by Mr.. Harding that
there should be reduction in the officer
personnel in the army. This organiZa-
ton, he feels, is .topheavy In relation to
the enlisted personnel. and some system
will have to be provided which, serving
the best interests Of the country and at
the same time fair to the officers, will
allow some of them to be plucked.
Gen. Pershing is understood to have
expressed to President Harding to-day
his strong opposition to the cut in the
army proposed by the House sub-com-
mittee.

termine the number of the ships that are
adapted to the needs of American trade
and that might be expected to be abb
sorbed by that trade within a period,
say the next three years These would
be defined clearly as the fleet to be sold
to Americans at the world market price.
The remaining ships should be offered
to foreign buyers with the understand
ing that they should not be allowed to
trade to the United States, and those
still unsold after a limited period should
be scrapped."
Government aid for the merchant ma
rine is approved by the entire country
and especially the middle West, which
formerly was against subsidies, Albert
d. Lasker, chairman Of the United
States Shipping Board. told the dele
gates.
"One of the great objections always
voiced to a subsidy" he said was that
it was for the enrichment of private
interests at the seaboard, that the cour-
try as whole did not share in the BEN
eft to be derived, and, in fact, in the
middle West, where / came from, it was
largely looked on as a pIunderer's 8
scheme. World war conditions, the pos
session of our present tonnage, our
need. IL we are to insure our trade
abroad. of controlling our own carriage
at all, have. I am glad to say, changed
largely the views of the central West.

New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. c., March 3.
President Harding's merchant ma
rine policy is founded on an earnest
desire for world trade, which will
bring cheap transportation and pros
perity to the United States. The two,
in the opinion of the Chief Executive,
must go hand in hand.
The President believes the proposal
for ownership Of shipping by Ameri-
can railroads should be seriously con-
sidered. He is not prepared to dis
cuss the effects Of such a course upon
water competition coastwise or on the
Great Lakes, as he has not studied
this phase of the problem.
The President, it is known, without
regard to the principle of the thing
and the, ramifications of its possible
effect upon domestic commerce, be-
lieves it would be a practical business
step toward prosperity.
1t is realized that the whole tend
ency of railroad regulation in recent
years has been to separate the rail-
roads from waterline holdings, but
these holdings were in transatlantic
or transpacific carriers. The Presi-
dent holds to the belief that such
holdings would be a great stimulus to
American trade because the railroads
would have agencies abroad booming
American trade.

Places Limit on Profits.

However. In order that there could
be no charge of profiteering, and that
the Treasury should be duly protected,
the proposed law contemplates limita-
tion on profits"
Senator Ransdell praised the Presi-
dents program of Government aid for
ships. He said:
1.-THE Presidents message advises
something that is. comparatively speak
ing, at any rate, new to American ship
ping. The essential feature of it is
direct aid in the shape of a subsidy to
our shipping. Subsidy for ships has
been very offensive term to the
American people, not alone those of one
party but of both parties. Measures Of
relief along the lines of subsidy have
time and again been presented to the
American Congress and time and again
have they been refused. But the sitp-
alton Is altogether different now.'

Harding May Give views.

President Harding may give personal
exposition of his shipping views to-
morrow at the closing meeting of the

was believed tonight he would appear
and make a short address.
Shipping men from New York and
every section Of the country are at
tending the convention, which was
opened to-day with an address by Sem
ator Joseph =. Ransdell Ga.), president
Of the association
Delegates from New York tonight
were busy framing resolutions to be
introduced at to-morrow's sessions.
Current considerations in America"
was the subject Of an address at
to-day's session by w. Averill Harri-
man, chairman of the American Ship
and Commerce Corporation.
Mr.. Hartman emphasized that the
big problem In the shipping situation is
how to get into private hands the ships
now owned by the United States Ship
ping Board. This question. he said, is
of equal Importance with that of
whether subsidies shall be granted.
II Congress does not see fit to grant
aid to shipping. then the Shipping
Board will be obliged to sell its ships to
private interests at a price low enough
TO overcome operating advantages of
foreign ships. Mr.. Hartman said
Not all the ships owned by the board
are suitable for transatlantic operation
by private interests, according to Mr.
Hartman. Some Of the ships which are
unsuitable for private operation should
be sold to foreign purchasers, he urged
How He Would Sell Ships.
How the ships should be sold was ex-
planned by Mr.. Hartman as follows:
THE practical thing to do is to have

CUTTING FORESTS FOR
CHRISTMAS TREES

Hundreds Of carloads of young
cycrgrcens growing on logged-oif
lands are being shipped out of the
state to serve as Christmas trees,
and in Seattle's holiday decora-
ton Of the business district thous-
ands Of young trees have been
used. The department of conser-
walton and development points
out that most Of these trees came
from lands unsuited for reforest-
alton and therefore their loss is
not serious. Under present laws
the state has no authority to pro-
tcct second growth timber on pri-
yoteIy owned lands, but before
the Christmas tree trade affects
reforoStation work seriously it is
expected legislation will have pro
tectcd the young trees. 1t is not
likely, however, that people of this
state will ever have to do without
homegrown Christmas trees.

BEES AS POLLENIZERS
OF FRUIT BLOSSOMS

The PeninSular Beekeepers' as
ISOLATION has gathered interesting
data on beekeeping. Helen Stein
er Of Auburn. Wash, is secretary
and we have taken a few items
from the interesting report.
Increase in number of colonies
in, the United States, 0.9%6; in
crease in number of colonies in
Washington, 10000.
Washington ranks second in the
number of colonies increased; it
ranks Oath in number Of colonies,
and eleventh in amount Of honey
produced, with an increase over
last year of 500.
The increased value of bees
is estimated on basis Of $1,000
per colony, or 5000, 100000. The
increase in value Of honey pro-
duced, at 10 cents a pound, was
500, 262.60.
These figures show that the bee
keeping industry is of consider
able importance, but what is Of
greater Importance is the bees
agency in polarization, The re
port gives two instances;
w. II. Paulhamus of Sumner
placed 100 colonies Of bees in his
berry fields. He reports that
they turned what would other
wise have been a poor season into
one Of the best he ever had. -
The cherry growers of Spokane
county claim that they have doubl-
ed the yield Of cherries by placing
bees in their orchards.
The indirect profit from bee
keeping III pollenizing fruits and
berries amounts to millions. Who
can estimate the value Of the hon
cy as an article of diet on our
tables? 1t is about the only pure
sweet in the world, See Alfred

SAKE Milton McClmtock, man
in the prime Of years answered
the last great call on Friday morn
ing, December Sth, after a battle

charge Of different mining proper
ties all over the Pacific coast,

on the shoulders of the young
man that after % years of strug-
gle ne was forced to relinquish
bis professional activities aud
came to Burton where he grew
