ADMINISTRATION LOOKS TO
TUB nOFLIt TO FAVOR THK
PROPOSED PROGRAM.

Defense Plu from Becoming ?
Politicni iMue. Expected There
Will Be Some Oppo^Uon.
'?rk#r R- Anderson)
Washington, Oct. 1?.?Adminis
tration officials confidently expect
the country will support the nation
al defense program, which will be1
submitted to Coogrese in December
by President Wilson.
With the publication of an out
line of the reports prepared by Sec
retary of War Garrison and Secre
tary of the Na?y Daniel? and the
announcement that the President !s
in accord with the views of bbth,
an intense interest has been evi
denced in ali paru of the nation.
While It la appfreciated that there
^wlll be ? opposing element in Cou
Kgress, particularly in the houae, the
belief is that the ultra pacificists
will be decidedly In the minority.
No one here doubts that the ques
tion of preparedness will occupy tho
, limelight when ?ongreas meets. '
"There Is a red-blooded appeal in
the big program that is sure to bring
out the loudest whooping the old
halls hare heard for a decade or
more." said an official today.
"Talk about revision of the tariff
and Sxteasion of the war tax and
other aubjects is- weak compared to
the warm interest being shown In
the Garrison plan for a cltlxen army
and the navy's first real navy plan
that has been given administration
? support since war times."
Tke hope of the administration is
that the defense program may bo
kept "ouj of politics and It will be
unless Republicans seek to put par
tisanship above patriotism. It is.
realised that In order to aak the ar
my and navy bills defense advocates
in both parties will have to unite a~
gainst the small a?my and navy men
in the senate and house.
Outside organisations Interested
klr. preparedness ?re striving to keep
the question out of politics.. The
American Defense society, for in
stance, announced today that it
would be prepared to flood senators
and representatives with petitions
^bearing 10,000,000 'signatures if "it
Is found necessary to convince-them
that the people want the matter of
defense considered on Its merits.
