A large ruminative sigh escaped

 During the day In conference circles the position of Germany was widely discussed and also the attitude of France toward the conference in general.

Washington, April 14.-Presids sns Harding in a letter read today to the hou e urged that the naval supply bill pro.Id for more adequate enlisted force than S7,000 as fixed by the appropriation committee.
 The president said he would be greatly disaspointed as he knew the country woull be if the enlisted personnel was re duced below S6.000, the figure which mas been proposed Dy the ''big navy group.
 While the decision must lie with con gross. the president said he could only rs- peat formally what he said informally that he was persuaded 1t would not be wise Co make so drastic cut as proposed in the house bill.
 The letter, addressed to and read 10 the house by Representative Longworth. re- publican, Ohio. said that a navy ol 6i.- 900 men might reached ultimately bu. the trend toward peace and security ought to be more firmly established before going beyond the limitations to which we were gladly committed at the internation- al conference
 The president while not doubtinE ''the good faith of the navy and naval advisers who declared very enpha;icaly 1t WIS i7l- posible to maintain within the propsed aD- propiation the standard set for the navy at the conference and which was proclaim ed to the world
 The presidents letter bearing the date of today. follows:
 My Dear Congressman Longworth: have to acknowledge your letter of in- uuiry addressed to me on the tenth ir- stant If I were 10 address the congress formally I could say only what have ai- ready said informally because am vel persuaded that lt is not wise to make s1 1 drastic a cut in the naval a-Trorri tinns as has been nroposed on the measure nog ,ending in the horse.
 q do not doubt the good faith of tHs | committee majority in believing a suitable navy can be maintained under th. linn ;ations fixed in the pending bill and ar | heartily in accord with every consistent effor to dee7ssn the cut in Eovernmenta | expenditures. At the same time I mus believe in the E,'od faith of the nay de partment and our naval advisers who sal very emphaticalls' that 1t is impossible q maintain. within the proposed ap9ro7r.a | tions, the standard set for our navy whlcl was made the b.se q the fnTernstion5 | conference and which standard we ha-' proclaimed to the world.
 of course, the decision must lie vii | the congress, but I should not be fran. in replying to your inquiry if I did not sal | that I shall be Ersatly disappointed, anf I believe the country will be greatly dls | appointed if the . appropriation. to whici the navy must and will adhere. is reduce 10 the point where the limitation of en listed men and apprentices is below ss, | 900. No presentation of the situation which has come to my notice, has serve' to alter that opinion.
 Ultimately, perhaps. the lower figure pro7osed may be reached and I hone will be possible through later internationa concert but the trend toward peace am security ought to be more firmly establish ed before going beyond the limitation u which we were gladly committed at tn international conference,
