Opposition of Both Parties
SWellS Despite Organization
of Service Men for Bonuses
and Educational Program.
BOND ISSUANCE WOULD
SERIOUSLY CUT VALUES
Deemed Necessary to Wait Un-
til Government Revenues
Will Prevent Loss of ST.
100000 to Present Holders.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-Leaders
termined to oppose any soldier aid
legislation in this session of congress
despite demands by the organization
of service men for bonuses. vocational
education and farm and home loans.
Leaders believe the value of the
large amount OF liberty bonds out
standing will be jeopardized by the
issuance OF additional bonds necessary
to finance any of soldier aid programs
which call for financial outlays rang
ing from 100000 to 5000. 900.
Market Would Drop.
The market value of government
bonds, now around 30 cents on the
dollar. would drop TO between rs and
so. and It would be necessary to make
the interest rate of soldier aid bonds
six percent, leaders said. They esti-
mate the decline in the price of liberty
bonds would mean loss to 100000
bond holders of nearly $2,500.000.
In addition, leaders say, the pro-
gram would increase the Initiation of
credit and send the cost of living up
another notch.
Await Revenues.
Democrats of the ways and means
committee are virtually solid in op-
position TO bonus legislation. 1t seems |
probable the committee will pledge |
the service men to enact the legisia- |
tion asked within one, two or three |
years. when government revenues can !
be made to approach the expenditures |
