FIVE BILLIONS
WAR LOAN IS
NOW ASKED

Washington, April 10--A decision to
Introduce the $4,000, 900, 900 bond issue
measure on Thursday in the House vas
reached today by Secretary McAdoQ,
and Representative Rainey. of Illinois,
ranking democratic member of the
ways means committee.
The measure will carry a 5000, 000.-
900 issue for a loan to the allies and a
81, 1000, 900, 900 issue for conducting the
war for his country. The $4,000, 100000
issue is expected to meet approximately
one-half OF this country's war expenses
UP to June 80; 1918.
Consideration of plans for raising adj
ditional funds by taxation for conduct
ing the warsfor this country will come
later. The most essential thing to be
accepted now, it is agreed, is to pre-
pare the allies loan in order that they
may obtain much, needed food and mu-
nitions..
Every effort to rush the bond meas
ure through the House Will be made by
the ways and means committee We'd
neSday.
The question of the tenure Of the
bonds has not been definitely decided.
ON members of the committee pre-
fer 50-year bonds, but think it would
be best to pay them off at different
times.
The question of raising money by
taxation still is being considered from
many angles, and no concrete plan has
been worked out. 1t is generally agreed
that excess profits, incomes and GER
tain 1uxuries will be heavily taxed.
What will be one about increasing
The inheritance tax, however, still is

America Uses Germany as

Amsterdam April 10-under the cap-
ton THE Bitter Bit Sundays Koel-
nische yolks zeitung prints an article
under a Berlin date which purports to
explain Americas plan in the far east.
1t says:
eth antagonism between America
and Japan arose over China, but Wash
ington proved craftier than Toxic and
forced China to break with Germany,
cheated of right due h first born.
President Wilson realized the import
ance of Chinese and characterization
better than any of his predecessors and
adopted a strong policy in support Of
h prestige of h United States. a
policy which also became anti-German.
ct would be wrong t o attribute this
policy to pro-Brifishism. During the
war President Wilson pursued an
American policy above all. TO which is
a%scribable Americas huge development
in the production of ornaments. Every
child knows that no n in Germany
eyer thought of the possibility of a
German-American war. President Will
son himself hardly seriously contem-
plated a German danger, but did con-
template a Japanese. This is also fully
understood in TOXIC"
The article say that on the surface
nothing is more natural than America
should equip a giant army n fleet.
ItNcontinues:s
t'They are not for use. however. in
this war, during which they will prac-
erward against Japan. thus our enc
mics play with their own allies the
game of the bitter bit with Japan act
