K|TCHIN To BACK
WAR BOND ISSUE
Measure Now in House For
DISSATISFACTION is
Sure to Pass.
International News service

international News Service:
WASHINGTON, April 13.-With
no limitation placed on the debate
in the house today began considera-
ton of the $1,000, 900 bond issue
bill, the most colossal piece Of
financial legislation ever undertaken
by an American congress.
There is no doubt as to the ulti-
mate fate OF the bill. Republicans,
opposed to certain CT its provisions,
have served notice that they Will
offer amendments They will also
develop their opposition in debate.
But it is a foregone conclusion that
the bill will go through the house
with a rousing majority, regardless
of party lines. The republicans who
will criticize the measure on the
floor have already announced their
intention TO vote for the bill on its
final passage. 1t seems unlikely that
any of the republican amendments
would be adopted.
The determination of Leader
Kitchin, at his party's behest, to take
charge of the bill on the floor, has
dissipated any hopes the pacifists
had of concerted opposition TO the
measure. AS to the bill itself, re-
publican opposition centers chiefly
around the arbitrary power imposed
in the president. and the secretary
Of the treasury, in administering the
bond issue
The bill as il comes to the house
from the committee on ways and
means simply authorizes the pur-
chase of obligations Of the allies no
to the value of $3.O00,00O.OOO. The
conviction has been expressed that
there ought 10 be some limitation on
the character of securities to be pur-
chased as fear is expressed as to the
stability of finance in Europe at the
conclusion of the war.
