 Reduce Armament, Says Daniels

 He advocated legislation similar to that in the 1916 naval appropriation bill which authorized President Will son to appoint commission of nine members to represent the United States at an international armament conference.
 'If We do not want the league of nations" Daniels said, we ought to have a conference purely on the sub ject of reduction of armament. Every nation that has joined the league h3S promised this and all they need now is to get us in. Unless there is some such agreement the United States should have a navy second to none. This is the reason that I have adyo- cated the sinking of the German fleet in mid-ocean as an object lesson to all the world that is unhealthy to build great armaments for purposes of cOn0ueSt" ="

WASHINGTON. Dec. 27.-Approxi- mately s2.300,000 900 was the esti- mate submitted today by Secretary Houston of the treasury department as the cast of carrying out provis- ions of the soldisys' bonus bill.
 The secretary presented his esti- mate to the senate finance commit tee without comment other than to urge that no legislation be enacted which would lay an additional burden on the nations finances The esti- mate was accompanied by figures showing the cost of carrying out any one of the five optional provisions Of thd bonus bill provided all former service men chose a single plan The figures for the various plans ranged from $1.342 GOO GOO for the adjusted insurance provisions
 The maximum possible cost Of the vocational training aid and the farm and home development plans were placed at s1.SSO 900 GOO each. while the secretary said the fifth provision a rlan for land settlement, held so many uncertainties that it was i'm possible to estimate the possible ex- pendtures.
 Senators Are Silent
 Submission Of the estimated total cost made an apparent impression upon members Of the committee. which is considering the bonus bill as passed by the house at the last ses-. sion. Members declined to forecast the decision CT the committee on the suesion ot reporting out the measure but it was recalled that Senator Me Cumber. Republican of North Dako- Ia. stated at the opening of hearings on the bill that its passage would de- pend largely on the state of govern ment finances and that Houston had testified the treasury. with normal eXnenditures. would have a deficit of S2.10000O000 for the year ending next June 30 and a deficit of $1.500.- 000,000 for the following 12 months.
 During Houston's testimony. it be- came increasingly evident that the present treasury administration does not desire either to advise or recom- mend with respect to legislation pro viding for greater governmental ex- penditures The secretary made plain to the committee his thought m submitting list or possible sources Of new taxes in his annual report. saying they were for the in formation of congress and were in no sense more than suggestions.
 Urges Simpisr Laws
 Reiterating his opposition to reviv- al of the war finance corporation Houston declared the present sources Of revenue were fast declining and
