FIRM IN STAND FOR ADEQUATE ARMY AND NAVY President Harding Opposes Pacifist Move to Bring Defense Below Ratio. SENATE TAKES UP FIGHT Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger.. By FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. WASHINGTON March 22.—President Harding has waded Into the fight to preserve the national defensive establishment from drastic raids by the pacificistreductionist "bloc" in Congress. The crusade against “destructive economies" also was taken up in the Senate late yesterday during the four-power treaty debate by Senator Poindexter, Republican, of Washington. The ranking member of the Senate Committee on Naval Affairs brought out, to the apparent astonlsnment of many colleagues, the maintenance of a strong organized campaign to npset the “treaty navy" assigned the United States. Senator Poindexter declared that If the House scheme to slash naval personnel to 63,000 Is carried out, the United States, Instead of a “5” in the 5-5-3 ratio, would be condemned to a “2.” or a fleet inferior to that of Japan. Senator Walsh, Democrat, of Massachusetts, voiced his surprise at the existence of the pacifist campaign, as detailed in these dispatches at the beginning of the week. He said he was confident the American people would content themselves with nothing except "a navy that protects.” PRESIDENT STANDS OCT FOR PREROGATIVES. Developments in the Senate followed closely upon events at House. In executive quarters occasion was taken to proclaim President Harding’s attitude on three cardinal points. He objects: 1. To congressional attempts to curtail his authority as commander-ln-chlef of the Army and Navy, with special regard to assignment of troops. 2. To the slashing of naval personnel to 65.000, as voted by the House Subcommittee on Appropriations. S. To reduction of the Army below 130.000. Every indication was given that Mr. Harding Is prepared stubbornly to oppose efforts to tamper with his prerogatives as commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the Republic. The President's insistance on his unrestricted authority was evoked by Honst proposals to luclade In the Army bill x proviso for recall of American troops from China, 'law-all, the Canal Zone and the Rhine. Mr. Harding served notice In so ms.iy words that any such interference by Congress “necessarily will be disputed." MEMBERS HEAR FROM CONSTITUENTS. After the developments at the White House, all d-„ube vanished as to the President’s attitude toward the pacifist drive to bludgeon and tertlfy timorous Congressmen Into cutting down the Army and Navy. On to the desks of Senators and Representatives for more than a month pacifist literature has rained, threatening “political suicide” in November as the fate of .my Congress man who does not oppose the Administration's Army and Navy recommendations. Congress is urged not to be frightened by “the old preparedness talk." President Harding meantime continues to urge the vital necessity of preparedness both by land and sea. He Is particularly emphatic on the naval aspect of our defense requirements. The Harding Administration, it was categorically stated at the White Honse, would view with the ▼ery gravest disappointment a cut that reduces naval personnel to 65.000. The President wishes Congress and the country to bear in mind that such a slash, 1 from the existing strength of roundly 100,000 “would completely throw out of joint the ratio established by the Washington conference.” It would mean a “3” fleet for America. Jevel with Japan, or lees. Instead of the "5" fleet with Great Britain, which we bargained for. The pacifist-reductionist group, in and out of

Congress, is deaf to all such argument. It finds no place whatevf* in their propaganda, a WISHES POSITION OF ADEQUATE DEFENSE. Mr. Harding concedes he is unwilling, for his part, to trust the security of the United Stats, for the present at least, to the "revolving fortunes.” He does not wish the country to be put in any position except one in which it will be able adequately to defend itself. The President looking at the world from his privileged vantage point sees no "reaction” that justifies Congress in drastic scrapping of either Army or Navy units. He sincerely hopes Congress will refrain fropi extremes, especially with regard to the Navy. A fortnight ago, President Harding persuaded members of the House Naval Affairs Committee that 85,000 was the minimum of personnel that ought to be assigned the fleet. His Cabinet Is inclined to think that total finally will prevail as against the 65,000 approved by the appropriations subcommittee. As to the Army, the President suggests a minimum of 130,000 men as the Irreducible requisite. No “excessive” reduction, that cuts tjie Army to a figure below that total, will command the Administration's approval. The time has not yet- come for that kind of "economy." The President Is building no lugubrious aircastles concerning either menacing complications abroad —which he thinks were removed ly the Washington conference—or alarming conditions at home. Until the world Is in "a settled state,” the Harding view if it would be injudicious and Indefensible to "disarm.” The United States, for the Indefinite future, must maintain a strong “peace defense.” Mr. Harding mentions, as a further reason for a “sizeable” Army, the large force required merely tor the purpose of scrapping and safeguarding the vast emergency military establishment forged into being for the World 15 ar. PACIFIST DRIVE IN EVIDENCE. That the pacifist-reductionist drive against the Navy Is being conducted on I lines that call for full exposure developed from Senate proceedings during the treaty debate.

Senator Poindexter retorted It would be long before the Senate “would be confronted with the practical question of whether we are going to maintain a Navy at the strength allowed and provided for by tho conference treaty or not.” Senator Walsh, proclaiming himself a believer in general disarmament by all

nations, said he favored scrapping of all armies and navies. He could not, however, understand how any government, with a sane comprehension of ths necessities of national defense, could consent to reducing Its own army or navy to a point below that which would be required for security In time of need. "It Is fool-hardy," declared Senator Walsh, “for America to beglD scrapping her nnvy If any other nation la the world Is maintaining a navy larger than ours.” Senator Poindexter, welcoming the support of Senator Walsh, emphasized that It Is men, not ships, that fight, and an adequate personnel Is the back-bone of America’s naval defense. —Copyright, 1922 by Public Ledger Company.

REFINING crude petroleum to produce a multiplicity of useful pioducts is a highly specialized branch of industry. The refining of gasoline and the manufacture of lubricating oils each require special treatment. Motor lubricants are made from specially selected crude and the portions of such crude best adapted for high quality motor oils are extracted during the first operations of refining. The Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is proud of its achievements; proud of its enviable record as a manufacturer of gasoline, and equally proud of its record as a manufacturer of lubricants for all types and classes of machinery. During 1921 nearly 25 million gallons of Polarine, the perfect motor oil, were manufactured and sold. This enormous gallonage went to the consumer with the unqualified guarantee of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) that no better lubricant for an internal combustion engine could be made. Lubricating oil is the most vital factor in conserving your car investment. In making definite recommendations for lubricating your car this Company realizes the importance to you, and to itself, of knowing exactly what each machine requires. The responsibility of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is emphasized when you consider that in the territory served there are more than 3 million automotive vehicles under registration. These machines represent a total investment of more than 2 billion dollars. Every drop of motor oil manufactured by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) is made to meet definite requirements worked out in the Company’s laboratories by skilled chemists, refiners and lubricating engineers who have given careful study to the technical problems and their practical application under working conditions, which the oil must meet. It is because they have given such painstaking attention to evenr detail of manufacture and application that the Company has been able to produce Polarine, the perfect motor oil. It is this painstaking attention to every detail, in every branch of its business, that has made this Company a leader in the industry. It is by such sustained, conscientious, enthusiastic effort, to keep faith with its patrons, that this Company has won the confidence, esteem and respect of the public it serves.

[ PORK LOIN /^\ y II ~ 34 vs. 66 Swift’s Premium Ham and Swift’s Premium Bacon are produced from only the best hogs. Many of the animals we buy do not furnish meat of Premium quality. Since these are the choice cuts from the best hogs, cured and smoked in the best way, with scientific care and precision, they are naturally in great demand; but these cuts, with the loin from which pork chops come, represent only about 34 per cent of the live animal. The remaining 66 per cent consists of the cheaper cuts, such as spare ribs, shoulders, trimmings, pigs’ feet, lard, etc., and skrinkage in dressing and curing. Shrinkage is equal to one pound in each five, and has no value whatever. That is why the prices of “Premium** Ham and Bacon and pork loins are higher than the price of the live animal. Everybody wants them —and yet they are only about one-third of the entire weigh t “Premium” Bacrn alone is only about 8 per cent The great demand for the choicer cuts, and the smaller demand for t\e cheaper cuts, constitute the reason for the comparatively higher price of the one-third, and the lower price of the other two-thirds. (Some of the lower priced cuts sell at less than the per-pound price of the live animal. It is only by utilizing all possible byproducts and exercising the utmost skill and efficiency that we are able to average a profit of a fraction of a cent a pound on all our business. N. B. Some very delicious dishes can be prepared from the cheaper cuts* Swift & Company U. S. A. Tnrtiftgpnli. Local Branch, 223-7 Kentucky Ava, R. D. Murphy, Manager
