WARNS AGAINST
BONUS ACTION
Mellon Sees Danger of I'm
mediate Government Deficit
Unless Congress Acts.
[By The Associated Press.I

WA SI1INGTON, July 7.-Congress
has been asked to defer action on
the soldiers bonus bill by Secretary
Mellon. who in letter read in the
senate yesterday, issued warning of
the grave danger of an immediate
government deficit. The letter was
addressed to Senator Frelinghuysen
in response to request for statement
as to the financial obligations the
bill, which has, already passed the
House would place upon the govern
ment.
This is not a time to impose sew
eral billion dollars of new liabilities
upon an already over burdened trea-
sury, adding the bill would cost the
country between a billion and half
and five and a quarter billion dollars.
1t would swamp the cost of the gov
ernment and defeat the administra-
tion's program of retrenchment and
economy"
1t also would block all refunding
operations on the national debt, and
he added. depress further the prices
of Liberty bonds.
, The letter was read as the bill was
called up in the senate and Senator
Underwood, said it was ~"strong,
forceful and to the point" Just what
effect it would have was not indicat-
ed by leaders, but 1t was said pro-
tracted senate debate on the bill was
in prospect" -

Democrats File Minority Re-
port in House-Conspiracy
Hatched in Secrecy.

WASHINGTON. July 7.-Demo-
cratic members of the ways and
means committee. in a minority re.
port filed today in the House OF
representatives, denounced the ad-
ministration's tariff bill as "a con-
spiracy to benefit few favorites at
the expense of all humanity
Like every conspiracy, it has been
hatched in secrecy" the report SAID
adding:
1--WE record our solemn judgment
that this measure is a plan to plum
der the people of our own country
and to oppress the people of every
country for the benefit of a few men
who have succeeded in usurping Tor
all practical purposes the taxing
power of this government, using II
primarily to enrich themselves and
secondarily to finance the political
party which tolerates, encourages
and facilitates the usurpation.
The report declares the tariff was
not an issue in the last campaign
and that this is not the time to write
a tariff law. They assert the prop
lens which confront our people,
cripple our industry, stifle our com
merce and perplex an amiaple al

jority for Withholding the bill from
them and from the House member

a week for study, the Democratic
members declared there had been IN
sufficient time to draft a substitute
They do not undertake any detailed
discussion of the individual sched-
ules in the bill, combining their
twenty-six-pag typewriter report
to a general indictment of the whole
measure and its manner of prepara-
ton.
Emphasis is laid on two things.
probable effect of the bill on world
commerce and upon the substitution
of the system of American valuation
on basis for levying tariff duties.
Pointing to rapidly decreasing
American foreign trade, the report
said: 1--WE need no tariff to cut OH
the imports and exports of the
United States"
The report said the foreign trade
of the United States fell from ST.
1SS,255,449 last July, to $527.37S'-
