PRESIDENT DEEP | " INNAVAL DISPUTE ?Congress Factionalism and, Treaties’ Failure to Fix Strength Vexing. By Consolidated Press.

Lord, urges economy, esp in such peace-time expenditures on military and naval development which in the absence of any threat of war may seem futile, especially since types of vessels change and new construction is constantly needed to keep up to date, The President gave every intimation in his recent message that he was not going to be stampeded into military and naval expenditures by persons or institutions directly interested in sell- ing to the Government, but he has dis- covered since then that there exists in Congress a naval group which believes in the theory of preparedness, entirel. apart from its commercial aspects. This group is kept informed by naval men who believe it their duty to let everybody know the status of naval strength, especially members of the naval committees. Mr. Coolidge knows that there'is in Congress a strong sentiment for m naval vessels, and that the sincerity of the naval group is attested by the fact that they would gladly insert a provision similar to that in old appro- priation bills—namely, that if an in- ternational agreement on limitation can be reached, then construction should be stopped at once. Needs Foreign Help. The President, therefore, is com- pelled to look abroad for a helping hand. Will Great Britain and Japan join again in a. conference on limita- tion of armament to preserve the 55-3 principle? If they will, then liter- ally millions of dollars will be saved in the annual budget. International conferences have not been popular here in &n era in which the “irrecon- cilable” group have repeatedly ex- pressed their opposition to interna- tional pgrleys as political. Only with considerable reluctance did Congress consent to the sending of delegates to the preliminary con- &ress on limitation of armament held under the auspices of the League of Nations at Geneva. The Senate, more- over, has declined to ratify the Geneva treaty prohibiting the use of poison gas. Natfonalism still dominates the situation here, and it is doubtful whether the sacrifices made by the United States in the 1921 conferences under the Harding-Hughes adminis- tration could be achieved today. Under the circumstances Mr. Cool- idge 'will probably find it necessary to approve the proposed appropria- tions for more light cruisers, though striving at the same time for inter- national agreement to suppress the rivalry which led in the past to heavy expenditures and which Britain_with Ler tax burdens of the war and Japan with her earthquake bankruptcies can ill afford to stimulate. D. L. W. H. PORTER'S WILL DISPOSES OF MILLIONS By the Associated Pross 7., December 21. Jackson Porter, widow of William H. Porter, who was part- ner in the banking house of J, P. Morgan & Co., was the chief benefi viary under his will, filed for pro- bate.

For his only surviving Helen Porter Davisson, w ard L. Davisson, the decedent estab- lished a trust of $300,000 and made her inheritor of the residuary estate upon the terminiition of her mother's life. The will created a series of trusts for the four grandchildren of the de ceased. For Jamie Fprter, daughter and only child of the late Lieut. James Jackson Porter, who was kill- ed in action in the Meuse-Argonne offensive in October, 1918, there was provided a trust of $300,000, supple- menting two trusts of $100,000 each made for the child by her grand father during his lifetime.
