uyaunative to the bonding of
the United states of a navy powerful
enough -to command the respect and
fear of the world" by secretary
Daniels in testimony today before the
boose naval affairs committee.
The naval secretary appeared be-
fore the committee in connection with
Its consideration of the subject of dis-
armament and dismissed as unworthy
of discussion a third proposal for an
American navy less than equal to the
most powerful sespower In the world
"because it is a waste to spend money
on an agency of war which would be
helpless If needed."
in presenting his views to the com-
mittee Mr. Daniels took occasion to
outline the advice which he would
give to president-elect Harding should
be be asked for counsel on naval mat-
ters. This advice took the form of a
suggestion that Mr. Harding Immedi-
ately upon his Inauguration Invite the
nationa of the world to meet with
representatives of the United States
in a disarmament conference.
Cites Authority.
Authority for such action was riven
by the naval appropriation act of
191c. the secretary said addinar that
if president Wilson "should call such
a conference it would be impossible
for him to make recommendationa be-
fore his term of office expired."
"Xf president-elect Harding ahould
do me the honor to ask my advice."
declared Mr. Daniels. "I would un-
hesitatingly say to him: If the
United States is not to become at once
a member of the league of nations I
believe some plan should be adopted
at once to secure an agreement for a
reduction of armaments.
Tou will have the authority to call
such a conference. Tou can act on
March 5. and hasten the coming of the
c'ay when the taxpayers of this coun-
try and of all countries may be safely
freed from the great burdens of war
preparations.
OppeMies Xava! Holiday.
"Until that conference secures world
agreementa. let there be no cessation
in building ships authorized by
congress'."
Characterizing the naval holiday be-
tween the United States. Great Brit-
ain and Japan provided for In the
pending resolution introduced by
senator Borah of Idaho as a "half

his opposition to this country's en-

would be similar to an entente and

nation's economic affairs with a
group of able executives has crme to
be looked upon by president-elect
Harding as a transcendent responsi-
bility. No longer do the former comrades
of senator Harding at Washington
regard the man at Marion as one who
can be twisted and pulled lu -any di
rection at wtu to satiety political
cravings or Individual whims. Tbe
burdens of state rest heavily upon
the president-elect and tha members
of congress who have returned here
from Marion after long talks with
him speak of the earnestness with
which the next president Is tackling
the preliminaries ot his Job.
Hughes Only Fixture.
All Washington has learned during
the week of. the upset in tbe cabinet
slate and today only one man is a
fixture possibly two. The first is
Charles Rvans Hughes who is already
arrangl'jg his affairs for the ac-
ceptance of the portfolio of secretary
of state. The other Is Harry Dangb-
erty. who can be attorney general if
he wants to be.
In a general sense nobody else has
a cabinet promise from Mr. Harding
that cannot be revoked. Indeed sen-
ator Harding has adopted a policy
which the wiseacres here say is an
astute piece of personal strategy
coupled with years' of political acu-
men. tWhen Mr. Harding talked with
some of the celebrities Who have been
mentioned for cabinet positions he
said to each something Ilka) this:
"Of course eabraet slates are like
time tables they are subject ta
change without notice aad Just about
the time one haa fixed some geo-
graphical considerations eater Into
another part and a shift moat he
made. All things being equal. If
things do shape themselves right
will you be In a position to go into
tbe cabinet""
News Peddled Onlekly.
To some men that might appear as
a definite offer of a cabinet port-
folio sufficiently certain to go home
and tell wife and Intimate fiienda.

Another fascinating situation from
a political viewpoint is that which
surrounds the selection of Will Hays
