SENATE CANVASSED
ON SOLDIER BONUS
Expect Many Votes Against
Motion to Recommit the
Measure.

Senate leaders today are canvassing
the Senate to develop the attitude OF
that body toward a prospective mo-
tion to recommit the bonus bill to the
committee on finance. Such motion
would not be made. however. until
after President Harding has submitted
to the Senate the communication
which is expected from him urging
that action on the bonus bill be post
poned
The indications were today that the
President will not communicate with
Congress nor with the Senate upon
the subject until next Monday. Debate
on the bonus bill will continue in the
meantime.
Opposition Expected.
There are go many senators absent
from the Senate that the canvass on
the contemplated motion to recomml:
Is being hampered. 1t was quite ap-
parent from the inquiries made thus
the motion to recommit, although
the leaders confidently expect that
with a recommendation from the
President to delay action majority
vote can be obtained for recommital.
The majority Of the senators will
be expected to follow the suggestion
Of the President and will be Joined
by some democrats. The bulk of the
opposition to recommital is expected
to be furnished by the democrats.
President Urges Delay.
President Harding interposed the
weight of his personal influence to
defer action on the soldier bonus bill
until q clearer understanding OF the
governments financial outlook has
been made possible by enactment of
new tariff and tax laws during his
Gif fn fho C2nifn1 vest ArCQV
In an hours conference with Senate
leaders the President is understood
to have indorsed the view Of Secre-
tary Mellon that bonus legislation
now might be a serious embarrass-
ment to the Treasury, and even to
have suggested that all other legis-
lative business be suspended to per-
nit completion of the tariff and tax
revisions as soon as possible By
those who talked with him he was
quoted as favoring a recess of Con-
gress while the committees in charge
are Fastening perfection of the two
measures on account of which the
special session was called.
Special Message Likely.
It was indicated that Mr.. Harding's
views would be set forth at greater
length in a special message to Con-
gress soon. The document is ex-
pected to deal particularly with the
bonus bill and to set forth that while
tho administration regards itself as
committed to some legislation for re-
lief Of war veterans it sees no reason
for acting precipitately.
While the President was giving his
opinion to senator after senator in his
room just of tho Senate chamber,
tho Senate itself was debating the
bonus bill. with sponsors for the
measure confident Of it's passage.
