LONDON. May 27.-The weekly re-
views comment on the recent speech
of Ambassador George Harvey with
somewhat of an air Of bewilderment over
the extent in which II indicated the lines
of American policy. All agree on the

consider that the most significant part
Of the address
The Nation finds this an odd decision,
because, IL says. the United States thus
will help administer a treaty II refuses
to sign. On the whole the Nation thinks
Mr. Harvey wanted to deliver the fin-
ishing stroke TO the entire Wilson pol
icy, while not abandoning what it char
actcrizes as the position OF = large body
OF opinion represented by Secretary OF
state Hughes and Secretary of Conn
merce Hoover.
All the reviews welcome the fervof
with which Ambassador Harvey urged
cooperation between the United States
and Great Britain. The Spectator takes
this as meaning that the American for
eign policy Is based upon the recogni-
tion OF the common interests OF the en-
tire English speaking world. II con-
slders that in deciding 10 rejoin the Su.
preme Council President Harding has
done "as practical a piece tf work IN

6O,762 and the Independent Laborites
4.001. There is to be added to the
Unionist vote 1000 university voters

Two surprises of the voting We're the
big poll of Arthur Griffith, founder OF
the Sim Fein organization, in Tyrone

SMOOT EXPECTS BONUS

Believes MELONS Estimates
for Fiscal Year Too Lou.

New York Herald Bureau,
Washington. ID. G., May "a.
Senator Smoot CUtah), member Of the
Finance Committee and author OF the
pending sales tax bill, told THE NEW
YORK HERALD to-day that he believed
the estimate OF $1,000 10000 for the ex-
penses of the Government for the next
fiscal year. recently made by Secretary
Of the Treasury Mellon, was too low.
He based this opinion on the assump-
tion that Congress will yield to pressure
and pass the soldier bonus bill. which
was not included in Secretary Melons
estimates.
There is growing feeling in the Sem
ate and House that the bonus bill Will
not be passed at this time because of
the state OF the Government finances
and the universal desire for a reduction
OF expenses to permit a lowering Of
taxes. But Senator Smoot does net

1t Is in this section that the penaliz-
ing rediscount rates complained OF are
in effect Early in 1920 the reserve
banks were allowed by law to put
such rates in effect. The authorization
was designed to meet the menacing m
hation of that period i'm which specula-
tion and prices were running wild. The
rates were actually invoked in but four
reserve districts. however and they are
now in effect in only two, the st. Louis
and Kansas City reserve banks. Rates
in other districts have been higher. The
penalizing rates were used by the re-
serve board to check operations OF banks
which were borrowing in excess OF their
capital and surplus to carry accounts
which IL was alleged were used for
speculative purposes.
One Suggestion Not Encouraged.
Ii is understood that no encourage
ment was given the suggestion of the
International bankers that an even flow
Of credit could be maintained for inter-
national trade If they were assured OF
the political stability or security of
the borrowing nations. Such a course
would carry the United States into an
entirely new field.
Many nations wish to borrow from
this country and some are on a much
better borrowing basis than others.
Those which have made the furthest adj
vance in returning TO normal productive
ity offer the greatest security. Under
standing has been reached that a thor
ough knowledge will be had of the uses
to which money is to be put before 1t
can be raised here.
Free flow of trade in all directions
will be the principal object sought.
The nations with which this country
were allied in the war are not alone in
looking to the United States for finan-
cial aid through the floatation of their
securities here. but ii seems the same
rule of reason is to be applied to all
alike.
