 President Harding's appearance be- fore the Senate last month in opposi- ton to passage of the soldiers bonss bill started a storm of debate in tile Senate toni sht, during which his course was criticized and defended.
 The discussion was started by Sem ator LaFoliette. republican, Wiscon- sin, wnu referred to the resolution in tre House by Repre- sentative Cochran, democrat New York, criticizing the President for addressing one branch of Congress tn pending 1egislatioH.
 Senator Lodge the republican leader called attention to the peace without victory speech of Former President Wilson to the senate prior to American entrance into the war and his addresses later on the sui frage amendment.

 Declaring it was not necessary. "either to criticize or eulogize Mir. Harding" Senator Borah republican, Idaho, said that on the question of the bonus. i've surrendered our Judgment to his dictation." If the President wanted a precedent there were plenty, lie declared, adding that this did not change the situation.

MT. Roland said tonight that the situation was too delicate to talk about. There were no long speeches today.

He added that thus far the deputies merely had shown con siderable curiosity concerning the terms of the governments offer and that the members of the cabinet had been called upon for explanation from all parts of the round room of Man sion House. where the sessions of the parliament are being held.
 All the deputies today received from somebody In Chicago, whose name was not signed, long cable gram from which they said 1t was impossible to discover whether the person wanted the Dail to accept or refuse the terms of the government.
