WASHINGTON, Dec, 4.—The Dem- ocrats are preparing to kill the Gard- +ner resolution providing for a com-| mission to conduct an investigation to ascertain if the United States is or is not prepared for war. Senator Lodge's announcement that he will introduce a stmilar resolution in the Senate has caused many people | to suspect that Messrs. Gardner and Lodge are playing politics instead of acting from patriotic impulses. The White House is opposed to stirring up the question of the United ‘itates’ ability to defend itself against T, foe at this time. vy President Wilson will see Repre- sentative Gardner on Monday and tell him frankly what he thinks of his re- quest for an investigation, The World's editorial on “Patriot- ism or Politics” made quite an im- pression in Washington yesterday, It was appreciated at the White House and the War and Navy Departments, where it has been realized for some time that Mr. Gardner is seeking no- toriety. Representatives of the Wilson Ad- ministration are going to answer Messrs. Lodge and Gardner. A move- ment in that direction was started to- day when Secretary Daniels denied certain of Senator Lodge’ Rear Admiral Strauss, C! Bureau of Ordnance of the Navy, re- futes allegations made by Mr. Gard- ner about torpedo tubes. The fight is on in earnest, and Messrs. Lodge and Gardner will not ‘be permitted to make political capital of the Naval Affairs Committee of the Senate for many years, and if he knows, as he says, what we have, piel does he want an inquiry? Con- 8 determines what the navy shall have If Congress will appropriate for more ships the navy certainly will build them. “I think he ought to read the bureau reports, which are always open to the public; the reports for the present year having been available—most them—for the last week, and which | are complete in every respect. I will be more than glad to furnish Senator Lodge this information if he has not seen it in the current reports. ¥ “If the fleet has not enough ships In it, all I have to say is that, upon my recommendation, Congress ordered three dreadnoughts for this year, and only one for the year before.
