TO SHELVE BONUS AND
HURRY UP ON TARIFF
Majorities in Both Houses Recog-
nize Wisdom of President
Harding's Demand.

Washington.-The soldiers bonus
bill will be recommitted to the Sen
ate Finance Committee and held there
until the financial condition of the gov
ernment and the country warrant ac-
tion upon it, according to all indica-
tionS.
The appeal of President Harding to
his former colleagues, coupled with
theasolemn warning Of Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon that passage now of
a bonus bill would be disastrous to all
concerned seems to have had the de-
sired effect. House leaders also ex-
pressed a. willingness to cooperate
with the President
Leaders in the senate have canvass
ed the situation and now believe that
whenever President Harding asks for
further delay in action on the bonus
bill it will be granted by a substantial
majority.
1t is said that of the SO senators now
present in Washington at least 43, and
possibly more. have agreed to accede
to the Presidents request on the bo-
nus bill. Action will not be taken,
however until the receipt of the mes
sage. The senate adjourned in eXpec-
tatiOn that matters will be forced to a
head soon after it meets again.
Republican leaders of the house stat
ed they approved Mr.. Harding's pro-
gram for deferment of the bonus bill
h.
measures. They have determined to
devote all energy to prompt enactment
of the tax and tariff bills from now on
and believe this alone will prevent ac-
tion on the bonus bill at this session.
