Washington, ID. g., March 81
In coming out flat footedly to-day
in opposition to proposals in Congress
for severe cuts in the size Of the army
and navy President Harding assumed
a determined attitude in his dealings
with the Senate and the House.
The policy of cooperation with Con-
gress IS not to stop, but Mr.. Harding
will let it be understood that rights of
the Executive branch of the Govern
ment are not to be dlsregarded. With
in recent weeks a disposition has de-
veloped among some members, partic-
ularly in the House, to decide general
policies, such as the size of the mill
tary forces.
Mr.. Harding made It plain to-day that
he will resist IN the utmost the effort or
the naval subcommittee in the House 20
reduce the navy below 100000 and the
President did not indicate that ne would
veto appropriation bills that provided
for military and naval force below
that size. those who talked with him
believe that he will do so IL occasion re-
quires.
A reduction in the navy to $1,000 Off
GERS and men. the President feels. would
put the American force far below the
standard agreed on with Great Britain.
and while he does not fear war he will
insist that the country shall be pre-
pared IL trouble comes.
AIR. Harding will also resist firmly
any effort TO take away from the Presi-
dent the right vested in him under the
Constitution as Commander in Chief y
direct the movements of the army and
navy.
Intimations have been heard lately
tnat this authority would be limited b"
Congress. and this is the basis for the
declaration from the White House that
any attempt Of the kind will meet with
stout opposition

Appeals 10 Democrat

Senator Willis (Ohio) called attention
to the fact that editorial opinion IN
Georgia was not supporting Senator Wat
son in his opposition 10 the treaty, ana
tEen read into the Record an editorial
written by Clark Howell in the Atlanta
Constitution, in which ii was declared
the defeat of the four Power treaty
would set back the world ten years IN
its progress toward recovery. IL urged
the Democrats TO keep their hands clean
and not be put in the position of de-
fsating the treaty by IAN unholy alli-
ance with the irreconcilable Republi-
cans" Mr.. Willis then called upon
William j. Bryan in support of the
treaty and quoted frcm an editorial in
the ContB0aer. This editorial had been
issued by MIR. Bryan in statement
made recently in Washington. In 1t he
advised immediate ratification OF the
treaty so the fight could be made on
economic questions, adding that there
was no reason why the Democrats
should not support the treaty and thea
claim the credit for it. since it Is similar
in character to the thirty cooling off"
treaties negotiated during the Wilson
Administration.
Senator Spencer (Mo) ventured into
the debate by saying the four Power
treaty offered an opportunity for Corea
TO present her claims to an international
tribunal. This drew spirited attack
from Senator Robinson (Ark.), and later
Senator Lodge called attention 10 the
fact that questions developing on the
mainland of Asia are excluded from con
sideratlon by the four Powers under the
terms of the treaty.
Senator Johnson (Cal.) discussed the
editorial quotations made by Senator
Willis and took advantage OF the floor
to question the propriety of appointing
members oil the Senate on commissions
or bodies like the Conference for the
Limitation of Armament which might
produce treaties which the Senators
would be called upon later 70 approve
or disapprove.

Had Devised Alternative.

After a conference with the House
leaders this morning the Speaker
Hoped" and agreed to recognize a
motion tomorrow TO suspend the
rules on Thursday. His decision was
mainly of technical Importance, as the
majority leaders had devised an alter
native which would have brought the
bonus bill before the House under reg
ular procedure within the next four
or five days.
The argument which finally brought
the Speaker in line was that If the
regular procedure was observed a
combination OF Republicans and DEM
ocrats possibly would succeed in
amending the bonus bill to provide for
the restoration of excess profits and
surtaxes. which would be contrary to
the Republican policy.
In support of these arguments the
majority leaders cited the minority
report. signed BY five Democratic
members Of the Ways and Means
committee. proposing to finance the
bonus bill with the excess profits tax.

Committee announced this afternoon
that with the consent Of the Speaker
