This was a major win for the President because he realized that the U.S. would be unable to meet the demands of a larger navy.
This was because business people in the U.S. at the time were unwilling to foot the massive bill required to make the U.S. Navy capable of competing with the other powers and so Harding tried not to antagonize them by pushing for it.
