REDRAFIED
RESOLUTION
IS APPROVED
Action on Peace Treaty
Measure Will be Sought
After Holidays.

Washington, Dec. 2o.-A redrafted
resolution by Senator Knox, Republi-
can, Pennsylvania, to declare q state
of peace with Germany and to retain
to the United States all material
benefits that would be gained under
the unratif1ed treaty of Versailles, was
approved today by the senate foreign
relations committee by vote of seven
to three.
The measure, on which senate &C.
ton will be sought after the holiday
recess is in the form Of a joint reso-
luton and would require that unless
Germany comedies to the United
States such material benefits as are
contained in the treaty, commerce
with German NATIONALS could be pro-
Inflated by presid tial ctannAtfcts.
"A provision also is included reaf-
ar1ntng the general desire Of this ma
ton to help establish world concert
for arnicable settlement Of interna-
tional disputes.
The committee substituted the
Knox proposal for concurrent reso-
luton previously presented by Chair
man Lodge, thus apparently abandon
ing the effort to declare peace by a
concurrent measure without the sig
nature of the president.
On adoption of the Knox resolu-
ton in the committee, Senator Lodge,
Massachusetts; Borah, idaho: Bran

COURT UPH0LDS
SERVICE BONUS
Last Obstacle Removed to
Payments to Minnesota
Service Men.

st. Psui, MINI. Dec. 20. t1.,, stxi
supreme court in a decision filed to-
day upheld the constitutionality of
the Minnesota soldiers bonus law
which allows SIS a month to Mime
sofa service men and women for the
time spent in the federal military
service.
Technically, the states demurrer
to the test suit brought by A.. Gustaf-
son, Minneapolis taxpayer, was up
held by the supreme courts decision.
Three circuit judges heard the argu-
ments in the case yesterday, replacing
I three regular members of the supreme
court who believed themselves dis
qualified because their relatives would
benefit under the bonus law.
The bonus law authorized a bond
issue of $20,0O0,000, which members
of the bonus board have said would
be placed on the market at once If
| the supreme courts decision was fa-
vorable. Adjutant General Walter F.
Rhinow. chairman of the bonus board,
is said to believe this amount as much
total, based on the size of the average
bonus figured from the first $4,000
examined Of the more than 1000
filed.
The bonus board will meet without
delay to fix the date for the sale of
the first big block Of $5,O0O,0Oo or
$40, 100000 of bonus certificates Of
Indebtedness, W. Yale Smiley, secre-
tary of the board. announced when
advised today in the favorable deci-
sion. He said that actual payments
Of bonuses may begin within a month
or six weeks.
| i, Major w. A. Curtis executive Off
Ger in the bonus administration de-
partment, today said that nearly 10,-
! 600 bonus claims are ready for pre-
sentation to the board The present
organization can turn out from 500 to
! 1000 claims day. 1t was said that
i this number may be the maximum
that can be handled and therefore
that the payment Of bonuses may ex-
tend over a period Of four months or
| longer.t
Actual bonus payments will begin
soon after February 1, State Treasur-
1 er Henry Rines, a bonus board MEM
Der, stated today. Because of the alb
sencee Of General Rhinow. chairman
of the board, he said, a meeting to
j arrange for a sale of certificates prob
ably will not be called before Tues
| day
Treasurer Rines pointed out the
advisability of awaiting the supreme
court opinion in the decision uphold
ing the constitutionality of the law.
The full opinion to be filed is expect
! ed to determine whether bonus GER
tificates of Indebtedness are direct OBJ
legations of the state or merely obli-
cations against the bonus fund. In the
event they are held obligations Of the
state the certificates will command a
better price. Mr.. Rines explained, and

I of the profits from that source.
