plv ample funds for all war purposes,
according 10 a statement OF House
leaders made to-day after a prelim-
inarv consideration OF the question OF

tilities in Mexico.
There has been informal talk ABOUT
the House Of war tax. similar 10
that levied during and after the Span
ish-American War, but Mr.. Underwood
the majority leader, said to-day there
was no plan for immediate enactment
Of such legislation. He pointed out
that under two unrepealed sections OF
the Payne tariff law it is within the
Drovince Of the Secretary Of the Treas
,rv 20 raise approximately $500, 900 600
which could be available for emergency
use
one Of these sections authorizes the
issuance Of the Panama Canal bonds 10
reimburse the Treasury for such eX-
penditures as It has made in building
the Panama Canal. The other section
authorizes the issuance OF s20O,000,0OO

being available for war purposes.
Mr.. Underwood said there was no
disposition on the part Of the House TO
take up war tax legislation in the near

unless hostilities shall be prolonged be-
vond the time now anticipated.
Section Of the Payne tariff law,
which was undisturbed by the Under
wood bill, authorizes the Secretary Of
the Treasury Ito borrow on the credit
Of the United States from time to time
as the proceeds may be required TO de-
fray expenditures on account Of the
Panama Canal and TO reimburse the
Treasury for such expenditures already
made and not covered by previous

leans and other fore gners In Mexico was
manifested at the White House. the State
and Navy departments. and means OF
rescuing those I'm danger were discussed.

lection would be afforded anxiety for
