Harding Blocks Disarmament Drive by Borah
Washington May 4 Administration forces won the first skirmish today in the Senate fight over naval disarmament. The Naval Committee refused to add Borah Idaho s proposal to invite Britain and Japan to a disarmament conference. Pomerene Ohio gave notice of a separate amendment to delay the building program six months while seeking a conference.
