BELIEVES PASSAGE Of

Such Action Dangerous

Press.)-Secretary of the Treas .
ury Mellen will oppose the grant
ing of a soldier bonus at this ses-
sion of congress, It was learned |
today.
Melons opposition to the plan de- !
veloped after it was announced |
that Senator Penrose and other !
leaders were to confer with him
preparatory to taking up the bo-
nus bill.
Melons position Is understood
to be about the same as that Of
former Secretary Houston who
held that the payment of a bonus
to ex-service men would disar-

OF the measure object to that

The bill has five features but

bearing security for them will
knock out the carefully laid plans
Of the treasury for meeting these
payments.

GOVERNMENTAL
EYE WATCHING
FOREIGN LOANS
NesO Departure Is for
Economic, Not Po-
Etical, Reasons.
By DAVID LAWRENCE.
Copyright, 1871.
Especial to The Argus.)

Washington, June 13.-President
Harding feels that the administra-
ton has passed the first milestone
In the journeys OF understanding
and good feeling to be travelled Dy
the government and private bust
ness. The president announced
that the government here had re-
celved satisfactory assurances from
every group Of international bank
ers to the effect that the latter
would gladly cooperate with the
government in the matter of finan-
cling enterprises for foreign peoples.
This Is really q new departure
lor our government in peacetime
though European governments have
always worked in close and init
mate relationship with private in
dustry and business. From April,
1917. the United States government
did all the lending of money to
foreign governments and peoples.
Prior to that time, when America
was neutral, the big bankink insti-
tutions OF this country lent large
sums to Great Britain and France.
and though the German sympathiz-
ers did all in their power to pre-
vent the floating of such loans, call
ing them unneutral acts, the Unit
ed states government nevertheless
didn't interfere in the slightest, Civ
ing neither encouragement nor sup
port to the loans.
For 1lnMQ Q0f&n Dv.nAn>A3nv,
Now, however, the Harding ad-
ministration has decided to become
an active participant in the situa-
ton for entirely different reasons.
The political aspect of foreign loans
has disappeared and at present it
is entirely question Of world eco
nomics and particularly a matter of
domestic protection against the un-
interrupted flow of American capi-
] tai to foreign countries at attrac-
tive rates of interest.
Mr.. Harding and the cabinet have
no legal power to interfere with the
floating of any loan in peacetimes.
But the exercise of moral influence
by the government can be made an
important factor. II the admins
tratiOn were to issue a public state.
ment letting the American, people
know that a certain loan was not
to the best interests of our domestic
business situation, the banking
houses endeavoring to float such
a loan would run up against an in
different lot of people and the loan
would be doomed.
Banks Will Cooperate.
So it Is just as much to the in
terest of the bankers as the gov
ernment that there should be COOP
Grafton. No loans therefore will
be 1oated of which the government
disapproyes. 1t was made quito
clear at the White house that this
doesn't mean the beginning of a
government guarantee of private
loans. Nor does it mean that the
government regards every PROPOSE
ton offered by the international
bankers as good investment. The
public will have to Judge for itself
the merits Of each loan. But it does
mean that every loan. issued will
have had in advance the tacit ap-
proval Of the government in the
sense that the Harding administra.
tion will have been given the op.
portunity to express an objection

NATIONS MUST
DISARM TO SAVE
CIVILIZATION
But Action Must Be
Simultaneous, Says
Former CoU. Folk.

Morgantown, W. Va, June ia
world wide hope has sprung up
since the great war that some kind
Of an understanding may be
reached Of freeing the nations from
the burdens of armament expendi-
lures, Joseph w. Folk, former gov
ernor of Missouri, declared here to-
day in a speech at the University oil
West Virginia. MIR. Folk asserted
that it required NO prophet to fore
tell "the end Of it ALL" If peoples
were to continue their competition
in armament, which he said, had
caused even the United States tG
stagger under the load.
Points to War Heroism.
The chief element of strength
welded from the last war Mr.. Foil
said, was the spirit of service fol
the common good. Pointing to tn,
heroism of men in battle and thu
consolidation of women in service
rendered for the welfare of all, tn,
speaker asked if all this was to b.
lost by failure to arrive at an inter
national arrangement to ceas'
spending a large proportion Of rev
enue for arms.
! Humanity cannot long carry tn
burden Of the cost Of war, to sa,
nothing of the sacrifice of humal
blood" he said. Even the Unite
States, the richest of all nations, i
staggering under the load Of det
caused by the war, which makes tn
lot of the average man harder t
Bear and which, If not remedie,
will lead in time to the overthrow
of civilization itself.
Prudence Demands Defense.
"Shall the nations go on compel
ing with each other in armament
If so, it takes no prophet to fore
tell the end of all. Yet prudenc
must make us realize that SO lon
as other nations are armed for de
tense, we must arm for defense. Tn
only practical road to disarmament
is through international agreemen
and that some such understanding
among the nations may be arrives
at is world hope, hope of man

the armlstice thousands of American
Red Cross officials have been fighting
disease In the war-stricken countries.
At. the same time tens of thousands Of
local Red Cross officials have been en-
gagged at home lighting disease, nota-

The Red Cross Health Center is,
however, Of even greater service to the

in many interesting and attractive
ways-first OF all, by the distribution
