New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. C., Dec. :.
Republican leaders in Congress let it
oe known to-day that they will not be
stampeded into hasty action in grant
I ing bonus to the soldiers by the
/, adverse criticism of Democrats who
'are making political capital out of the
fact that the President referred only
incidentally to the subject in his an
(. zlual message.
That the majority party in Congress
this session is a foregone conclusion,
providing the ways and means can be
found to raise the vast sum needed
. for the purpose without seriously Grip
ping industry.
Leaders on both sides of Congress
declare the situation as regards the
bonus remains unsettled and undeter-
mined. The course of action on that
IN ooted question has not crystallized to
. a point where it is possible to make a
public announcement, is the way the
leaders sized up the matter.
!, The Democl ats are making the most
of the delay in Congress over the
! soldiers relief measure, impugning all
sorts of dishonorable motives to the
Republicans. For instance, Repre-
sentative Gallivan (Mass.) declared in
the House that the latest plan of the
Republicans is to pass the bonus bill
in June so that the first payment will
be made to the soldiers on the eve of
the Congressional election. The only
obstacle in the way of that pro-
Eramme. he added, is the possibility
that the Republicans will adopt a PEN
sion insurance plan being worked out
by a member of the Cabinet.
The New York herald., 1921-12-08

leaders are convinced that II the true
facts are presented TO the voters the
party in power will be commended IN
stead Of censured for deferring pay
ments for the soldiers until a time when
the condition Of the Treasury can stand
the strain.
To support that view it was pointed
out that in the last election defer
mined fight was made against Repre-
sentative Walsh (Mass) for his oppo-
sition to the bonus bill and he was re-
turned to Congress by an increased ma
jority. He went before the electorate
and openly admitted his opposition to
the bonus on the ground that such ac-
tion then would almost bankrupt the
country.
Conditions may so shape themselves
in Congress that the Republicans may
be forced to so before their constituents
and defend their failure TO provide funds
for the soldiers. However, ii Is hoped
by Republican leaders that some such
plan can be evolved out OF the funding
bill by which a part OF the interest on
the foreign debt can be diverted TO the
cial structure of this country would not
feel the strain.
Make Return to Cnueus.
In response to the appeal made by
President Harding In his message to the
effect that the party in power should
assume full responsibility for legisla-
ton and determine upon a policy OF sup
plement campaign pledges there is q
strong likelihood that the Republican
leaders in Congress will go back to the
old caucus system. which was discarded
some years ago. following the unhorsing
of Uncle Joe Cannon as Speaker.
1t will be recalled that in the days
when Cannon reigned supreme in the
House caucuses were held frequently
and 1t was charged that action in the
House on impc ~ measures was moro
or less perfuAu.Jry. Considerable op-
position to that system developed and It
was made an issue in political campaigns
and reached its height in 1912. when
the Progressives succeeded in splitting
the Republican party wide open.
To placate that opposition the Repub-
lican leaders abandoned the caucus and
conferences" were substituted at which
were held free and full discussion or
pending questions with no votes binding.
In the meantime the Democrats held
to the caucus idea and have been able
to keep their voters In line.
On the other hand the Republicans
have been going along or late years, u
was pointed out by some of the leaders,
like ship without rudder. which ac-
counts to a great extent for the failure
of the last session to redeem the party
pledges and carry out the suggestions
made by President Harding in his mes
sage calling the extra session.
Furthermore, because OF the lack OF
the party caucus ''blocs'' have developed
in both branches OF Congress, which
have indeed blocked the programme of
the leaders and made 1t impossible for
them to carry out their promises and
enact important legislation.
While President Harding In his ap-
peal for team work uses the word con-
ference intsead OF caucus. leaders arc
disposed to believe that he had in mind
the functions of the old time caucus and
that such a system must be evolved In
Congress to expedite the important pro-
gramme ahead and carry out the party
pledges.

Unrest Over Bonus Bill.

4 1t must be admitted that there Is con-
Giderable unrest among some of the Re-
publican members of the House over the
delay over the bonus bill. Fear is ex-
pressed by many members that It will
be a serious handicap to their reelection,
as it provides a strong IL deceptive
weapon for the opponents.

Still Powerful Ruler.

With an area of 245,OOO square
miles, Afghanistan is, next to Tibet,
the largest country in the world that
is virtually closed to the citizens Of
other nations. But political life at
wary, alert Kabul is in sharp con-
trast to the meditative seclusiOn and
classic aloofness of the pious lamas
at Lhasa. Amir Amanullan Khan,
through his agents In India and else
where, Is In close touch with the
worlds current events; and, as the
last remaining independent ruler of
Moslem country, now that the power
of the caliph at STEAMBOAT is broken,
he yields far-reaching influence
throughout the Mohammedan world |;
also, because his land happens to lie
just las. it: does on the, map of the
world, 1t Is plain that for long time
to come he will be an active force In
the political destinies Of middle Asia.

Scots "Fish" With Swimmers.

Over in canny Scotland they fish"
with swimmers, that is with students
who are learning to swim.
Swimming instructors have various
methods for teaching their pupils, but
none is more novel than that used by
some Of the Scotch. These instructors
have a rope and pulley arrangement
by which the pupil Is suspended at the
end of the rope in the water The
instructor holds the other end Of the
rope and can raise or lower the pupil
in the water.
In his other hand the instructor has
long pole with which he prOds the
pupil at various times to correct the
movements Of the arms and legs
Should the instructor lose his grip on
the rope what would happen to the
pupil can be imagined. But suppos-
ing, with that pole In his hand, the
instructor loses his temper? The
field Of conjecture is Open.-Cleveland
