BONUS HOPES DEAD
FOR THIS SESSION
(Continued from First Page.)

tive minds inside the American Legion
have doubted the wisdom OF bonus,
the rank and file have been enthusias-
tica!ly in favor of it and the Harding
administration knows that sooner or
later, either Just before the congress
sional elections of 1922 or the presi-
Dental election Of 1924, a soldier bonus
bill must be passed to prevent the SOL
dier bloc from voting in body
against the republicans next time.
Nine out Of ten political prophets
hereabouts admit soldier bonus legis-
lation is inevitable. The only ques-
ton is when can it be passed consist
ent with the condition Of the nations
finances. The trouble about the pres
ent proposal is that it makes no pro-
vision for the raising Of the money.
There is one bill providing four diff
ferent ways by which the service
men are to be rewarded-they can
have money homesteads. insurance
or vocational training-and there Is
no way of telling whether the total
cost to the government would be a
billion and a half dollars or four bill
lion dollars. 1t might be either fig
ure.
Fifteen Different Bills.
There are in Congress at least fif-
teen different bills proposing new
the money shall be raised. These sug-
gestions go all the way from plans
to recover money received by the So
called war profiteers' to the use of
the billion dollars of interest owed
by foreign governments to the United
States on the war debt. Nobody
knows exactly how money already
spent by so-called war prof1teers"
can be recovered. and that suggestion
hadn't much support except in the
radical group in Congress.
AS for the interest on the foreign
debt, there is no sign of money from
that source and the chances are it will
be from three to five years before any
payments are made.
Nevertheless the administration will
have to think up some way of provid-
ing revenue some day to meet the de-
mands Of the soldiers. They feel that
while they were abroad fighting those
who stayed at home either made
money or preserved their opportuni-
ties in life. To the argument that the
government Is already overloaded
with war debt, the usual answer of
the American Legion members Is that
there should be reduction IN the
amount of money spent to run the
government and not a few OF the
legion leaders are heart and soul be-
hind the disarmament movement.
thinking that the government could
well AFFORD to pay the soldiers bo-
nus instead Of preparing for war at
time when the whole world is imam =
cially and physically exhausted. so
even in the bonus question. the dis
armament problem arises.

COMPLAINT
ON TARIFF DEBATED
Protest by the Government
Brings Conflicting State
mentS in House.

Announcement from Paris that the
French government had forwarded to
the State Department a protest Of the
French chamber Of commerce against
the provision Of the emergency tariff
bill authorizing American agents to
examine the books OF French firms
exporting to the United States brought
conflicting statements today from the
leaders in the fight on the permanent
tariff bill which includes substantially
the same provision.
Chairman Fordney Of the ways and
means committee declared the French
attitude was based on misunder-
standing of the law. Representative
Der of the committee, said the ex-
animation provision was Just a part
Of the program of high tariff advo-
Gates to bar all imports by one means
or another"
Proposed as Last Resort.
Mr.. Fordney said examination of the
books of foreign importers was pro-
posed as last resort in determining
valuation of imports. The emergency
law. he said, authorized such an in
veStigation only after customs agents
had failed to find. first, an American
wholesale market value on the prod
uct; second. a wholesale market value
III the country from which the goods
came. and, third. wholesale value
for the product in any other country.
Mr.. Garner declared the republica ms
ment. every handicap, in the way of
the foreigner that they could dis
cover" adding that no foreign busi-
ness man would submit to the exami-
nation, choosing to withhold his goods
from the American market rather
than permit American agents to delve
into his personal affairs.
Final Vote July p.
Final vote on the permanent tariff
bill is to be taken on July 21, accord
ing to the decision reached at a re-
publican conference last night.
Consideration of the general tariff
bill was formally begun today by the
House. with the actual reading of the
346-page document. No discussion
marked the opening of what is ex-
pected to be the heaviest task Of the
session. -
Reading clerks estimated that it
would take all day to read the bill. on
which general debate is to last full
week.
Leaders Change Plans.
Republican leaders changed their plan
to ask for a special rule today govern
ing the time of debate and other de-
tails Of procedure. postponing the re-
quest until tomorrow. Chairman
Campbell of the rules committee said
the special rule would embrace the
agreements reached at the party con-
ference last night.
Representative Garrett OF Tennessee.
acting democratic leader. announced
that conference Of House democrats
would be held Immediately after the
House adjourned today to determine
a party plan to fix up the bill.
