Decision to address the senate
on the bonus bill at the earliest

present in conference with the
Republican leaders at the White
house while the senate was de-
batting the measure.
Senators Lodge and Curtis were
said to have given him assurances
that motion to recommit the
bonus bill would be adopted. At
the conference the, entire legisla-
tive station was said to have been
discussed, although it was added
that the president in speaking to
the senate would not discuss tar
sif or tax legislation.
When the senate resumed con-
sideration of the soldiers bonus
bill TODAY, Senator Norris, Repub-
Iican, Nebraska, introduced an
amendment directing the Secre-
tary of the Treasury to collect in
steroSt due on allied debt, the fund
TO be set aside to pay the bills ex-
pense.

:lsised by the treasury that ac-

-and GNba, alone, he said, had paid
Sail their interest. a.5s..

teFest they owe
Senator. Watson, Republican, IN
diana, objected to the provision Of
the Norris amendment directing
the secretary Of the treasury to
collect the interest due on foreign
loans, explaining that provision
might be a direction to the impos-
sibIe.
Senator McCumber attacked the
Norris amendment, declaring he
could see no reason why the re-
ceipts from the foreign loans
Eheuld be applied to any specific
Indebtedness.
