HAMILTON LAUDS
LANDON ATTITUDE
Plans to Attend Drought
ParIey Contrasted With
RooseveIt's 1888 Stand.
By the Associated Press.


SPOKANE, Wash, August 8.-John
D. M. Hamilton. Republican national
chairman. today described Gov. ALI
M. Landon's prompt favorable re-
sponse to President Roosevelt's
drought conference invitation an
nouncement as "As good a contrast
Of the attitude of the two men as
any one could hope for"
The President said yesterday the
Kansas governor would be one Of five
Midwestern drought State executives
invited to a conference.
In a press conference here Hamil-
ton said:
"I am gratified Gov. Landon i'm
mediately announced: II there II
any meeting anywhere, at any time
Of benefit to Kansas will attend as
governor Of Kansas
I'm February, 1888. when q posi-
BILE bank panic threatened the Nation
President Hoover attempted to gain
the cooperation Of Mr.. Roosevelt, the
President-elect.
Invited TO Farley.
"He wrote a letter to Mr.. Roose-
velt on February II, 1888, asking him
to attend a conference to avert i'm
pending disaster.
III my recollection serves me cor
rectly, Mr.. Roosevelt did not even
have the courtesy to reply for IL days
and then he explained that one OF
his secretaries had overlooked the
letter from the President OF the
United States.
Personally I don't believe any Sec
retary would overlook any letter from
the President Of the United States.
"The difference Is that one man,
Gov. Landon, Is willing to cooperate.
irrespective Of any political signifl-
canoe, to help the people OF his
State or country. The other man
was unwilling because he wanted to
do nothing that might bring credit
to the President Of the United States.
even though the failure to cooper
ate might have been disastrous to
the Nation"
Hamilton left Spokane for Yakima
and Seattle after receiving Wlreo re-
grets from Senator william z. Bo-
rah Of Idaho that they failed to meet
in Idaho.
Telegram Is Received.
The telegram, which arrived dur
ing Hamilton's press conference
shortly before his take-o1 for Yakima,
said
Sorry demand In this part Of
State detained me. Should like to
have had a visit with you"
Borah sent the wire from Burgdorf.
Idaho County, in the isolated center
Of the State. Borah is seeking re-
nomination in next Tuesdays Repub-
lican primaries.
Previously Hamilton had expressed
his regrets at not having met the
veteran Senator.
IT didn't know where he was"
Hamilton said. He was out cam
paigning and I didn't feel should
inconvenience him by asking him to
go out Of line to meet me. may

and Japan. maintaining the present
naval ratios.
The Navy Department in January
will start the construction of two
battleships to parallel the announced
intention Of London to undertake
two capital ships at that time.
New Construction Plan.
The General Board Of the Navy
in planning for new construction in
the next fiscal year is still consider
ing whether it will be necessary to
ask for third battleship to be laid
down between July !, 1887. and June
30, 1888. There are seven battle
ships which will be more than 20
years Of age on January l. While
the Navy does not wish to increase
its total number Of such ships it
would like to establish regular pro-
gram Of requirements.
Although the hump in naval
building to make up for a construc-
ton lapse in the Hoover administra-
ton may be passed in the next fiscal
year. rising prices and the increase
in naval personnel makes it probable
that naval budget will go higher.
The War Department budget, also
being drafted now, is likely to bt
higher as well. The Army will be
maintained at $4,000 men, the new
size authorized for the present year
Aircraft building funds and the mech
anization program will be emphasized
in the Army's next budget.
