tee--Sen. Watson Thinks
President Has Gone Too Far
in Asking Halt on Measure

Washington, July Ian agreement
for a vote Friday'a at o'clock on the
motion to rccommt the soldier bonus
bin was reached by the Senate late
today by unanimous consent
The result of the vote, leaders of
both factions agreed, was not in
doubt, rccommittal as requested by
Pres. Harding in his address yester-
day TO the Senate being deemed GER
tain.
Sen. Lodge of Massachusetts, Re-
publican leader, secured the agree
ment at the close of another days
assault by Democratic senators.
Mr.. Lodge said the recommittal
motion was in the way of other i'm
poItant measures such as the anti
beer and maternity bills. In agree
ing TO a vote, however, Democrats
gave notice that they would not only
oppose the Republican motion, but al
so would seek to instruct the finance
committee to report the bill back at
an early date.
Senators Watson of Georgia and
Heflin of Alabama led the Democra-
tic attack today on the motion to re-
commit. Sen. Myers, Democrat. Mon
tana, however, advocated recommittal
and much Of the day was given to
act as between him and Sen. Watson.
The voting agreement involves hold
ing the bonus measure and the re-
committal motion before the Senate
continuously until the real call Fri
day. 1t was reached after Republic
can Senators, who continued to re-
frain from replying to Democratic
assaults, gave up hope of securing a
vote either today or tomorrow. Pri-
Nate overtureS for a vote tomorrow
were rejected by Democratic senators
who insisted that ample time should
be given for presenting the opposition
arguments to the country.
That Pres. Harding had exceeded
his constitutional limitations in ask
Ing the Senate to postpone considera-
tion of the bill was asserted by Sen.
Watson. The Republican move, he
said, was 10 send the bill 'tp a chic
reform committee presided over by a
ChlorofOrm senator" That the Re-
publicans postponed putting the bill
to sleep forever" was asserted also
by Sen. Heflin.
Sen. Hefin charged that big money
interests had contributed to election
Of Republican president and con-
eress and now were saying Deliver
the goods" The same interests, he
said were threatening to cause pam
ic if the bill should be passed H.
contended that the treasury was amp
~ able to bear the burden of the bill
While the debate was in progress.
Sen. McCumber, Republican, North
Dakota. who caused the bill to be
placed before the Senate on behalf of
the finance committee, had a confer
ence with Pres. Harding at the White
House. at which it was understood the
bonus bill situation was discussed.

Washington, July 13-Additional
pledges of cooperation reached
Washington from several quarters
today in response to President Hard
ing's proposal for an international
conference on limitation of arma-
ments and other world problems.
Definite acceptances of the Presi-
dents invitation to parcipate were
received at the State Department dur
ing the day from Great Britain and
Italy while informal advices came
to official circles here that a favora-
BILE reply from China might be ex-
pected in the near future. At the
same time it became known that
much sympathetic interest had been
governments who do not expect TO
have seats in the conference.
France, having previously eX-
pressed her willingness to take part
the only invited power from which
no sort of an expression had been re-
ceived tonight was Japan. Admin
istration officials were confident of
an acceptance from the Toxic gov
eminent, however, and in Japanese
quarters here it was indicated that
the delay undoubtedly was due to
the formalities of consultation
among various branches of the ia
panese government which are ne
cessary in the decision of an impor-
tant public question.
State Department officials would
not reveal whether any formal COM
muncations on the subject had been
received from governments not in
vited TO participate, although it was
understood that no advice of an ad-
verse nature, al least, had reached
the department from abroad. So
far as the reports here indicate. SEN
timent abroad is content with the
Presidents decision to have the
membership of the conference llml-
ted to the five powers and China.

some British statesmen desired to
have the preliminaries of the con-
