BY DAVID LAWRENCE. President Harding will name for- mer President Taft as Chlef Justice of United States. That is his prescnt intention, a8 disclosed by with him. Mr. Harding is not likely to delay an announcement. The more time clapses, the more candidates appear and the more hours must be given to the consideration of appeals from fricnds of the candidates. Mr. Hard- { iz is having enough troublés filling | important positions without adding ! to his cares. He has yet to find a chairman of the Shipping Board. He has yet to name an ambassador to Japan. He has dozens of appoint- ments to make. Should Congress create a depart- ment of welfare, there are many can- to be understood that Brig. Gen. Sawyer, the President’s physician, in whom he has the utmost confidence, will be named for that pla Aside from appointments, dent finds himself with situation in Congress. The biggest jobs are still undone—making a per- manent tariff and enacting a new tax law. He feels relieved that the Sen- ate hasn't crippled the American Navy by reducing the personnel, and though it is disquieting to sec the republican ranks divided so early in the game, it is nevertheless comfort- ing for the President that the demo- crats did not see fit to be petty parti- sans, but contributed fourteen votes— sufficient to save the Navy program from defeat. ftect of Borah rPoposal The unanimity with which Senator Borah’s proposal that the President cull a disarmament conference was passed by the Senate may be per- plexing to the outsider who recalls { that the Borah measure met at first with determined opposition which later melted away. The answer is that with the outery for disarmament as a means of reducing taxation the administration saw no reason for op- posing a mere request for a disarma- ment conference. It was feared that ||f some concession were not made to the advocates of a disarmament con- ference they might go farther and actually try to secure the passage of legislation whieh did reduce Amer- ican armament, even in advance of action by other powers. The demo- crats, of course, Voted for the Borah measure because it is identical with a paragraph inserted by Representa- tive Hensley in a_ naval appropria- tion bill passed under the Wilson ad- ministration whereby the President was_authorized to call a disarma- ment conference. There is nothing in the old statute or the new law which compels the President to call a conference of powers to discuss disarmament. It merely requests that he do 8o and gives him the necessary authority to spend money for the expenses of such a conference. The time of the conference is left to Mr. Harding’s discretion. That makes the Borah proposal harmless from the viewpoint of the Presi- a complex it was decided that fighting energy might better be reserved for another and mote worth-while occasion. Support of President in Congress. Meanwhile the defeat of Borah's | suggestion that the personnel strength of the Navy be cut down indicutes clearly that the adminis- tration will be able to get through the present session of Congress at Jeast’ without serious injury being done to the American Navy as a first line of defense. All that the admin- istration wanted With" respect to the Army's size was not granted, and it had been feared that a similar fate would be met by the naval pro- gram. “The coalition of democrats and republicans is something new, but it | proves that on many subjects at least ! President Harding can count on sup- port from both sides of the political aisle. This would be particularly true of foreign poliey. Brielly, the insurgency against President Hard- ing’'s policies thus far manifested is not strong enough to worry him.
