After Mr. Gardner's call the following- statement was given out at the White House: Statement From White Mouse. The President told Representative Gardner that he was opposed to the method of inquiry proposed by Mr. | Gardner, because he thought it was an unwise way of handling a ques- tion which might create very unfavor- able international impressions. Fle stated to Mr. Gardner that he was en- tirely in favor of the fullest inquiry by the committees of Congress and that there were no facts in the pos- session of the executive department which were not at the disposal of those committees. During his call Mr. Gardner read the following two questions to the President: Two Questions to President. “There are two ways of defeating my resolution. It can be defeated on a square yea.and nay vote or it can be pigeon-holed in the Committee on Rules. Which course do you advise?” ““Will you authorize army and navy officers to testify before the Rules Committee on my invitation either with or without restrictive instruc- tons?” ‘When Mr. Gardner left the Presi- dent he refused to say what answer he had been given to his questions. ‘White House officials said the formal statement given out would be the only comment on the call.

He | will, consult Wwith other _ members of Congress to lear their views. Ti Accord With President. Prior to Mr. Gardner's call, Chair- man Tillman of the Semate Naval Committee discussed national defences ‘with the President. Later he said he and “the President agreed that the United States should have an adequate navy in accardance with the declara- tions of the last Democratic platform. 1 He added that the naval experts would have to determine what an adequate navy was.
