The impression brought from the
conference by Senators occupying a
neutral position in the bonus contro-
versy was that President Harding
really holds the balance OF power
The comments made by Senators who
are inclined to favor a bonus II a
workable plan acceptable TO the
government can be devised clearly
indicated the purpose OF these gen
tlemen' to be finally guided by the
wishes Of the administration.
The President declined TO make
any comment regarding the action OF
the Republican conference. but in
formation was obtained at the White
House that he still holds to the opin-
ion expressed by him in his letter to
Chairman Fordney. II was In that
letter the President suggested the
sales tax as the most feasible method
for financing the bonus. with the al
Tentative OF postponement. There
was considerable talk in the Repub-
lican conference yesterday on the
latter point.
Several Senators. failing TO get def
mite information as 20 the plans OF
the Republican majority on the
Finance Committee. frankly express
ed the opinion that II no scheme
acceptable TO the Administration
was forthcoming Il would be better
TO postpone legislation relating 20
the subject.
Declarations OF this kind naturally
provoked remonstrances from the
ardent bonus Senators. who vehem-
entity asserted that 1.-THE promises OF
the party 20 pass a bonus bill must
be kept" There was no promise
made BIZ the party in its national
platform. The bonus Senator
meant their own individual prom

The bonus supporters struck an
other snag in the Constitution.
Critics OF the certificate loan bill
sent over by the House point TO the
Constitutional provision which re-
quires that all measures making ap-
preparations shall originate IN the
lesser body. They contended that
the suggestion TO amend the House
bill 10y inserting the provision slip
ulating the method 20 be employed
In financing 80 was not feasible
The bonus Senators were compel
ed to admit this fact, but came back
with the contention that a rider
could be tackled on TO the tariff bill
TO carry the money for the bonus.
Whether this can be done or not is a
matter of dispute.

Charges American Tourists
Are Robbed False, Says
Rev. Miller, After Trip.

Nothing is more outrageously un-
true than charges of highway rob-
berry of American tourists at the Pas

the Ninth Street Christian Church.
who recently returned from 10000
mile journey.
There we found more of the real
Christian spirit than anywhere else.
1t is not acted. it is lived. We ar
rived in the village the afternoon
before the play was to be given. We
had dinner that night, lodging, break
fast, lunch, dinner the day of the
play: lodging that night and break
fast the next morning, and also a
nacle. and our whole expense was
less than two dollars each person.
The admission to the play was
from 3 cents, standing room. to a
little less than 35 cents for the best
seats. 1t is not a money-making
affair, and 1t Is slander to charge
these good people with extortion.
France seems to be recovering
from her great distress. The villages
and cities destroyed by the war are
being rebuilt. and the lands are being
restored to cultivation. These wounds
will soon be healed. There is, how
ever, a feeling that the trouble has
not ended for all time and that sooner
or later Germany will again try to
do what. this time, she failed to &C
complish. This can only be prevented
by the teachings of peace and good
will to men,
May we hope the true Christ life
and spirit may SO become the ruling
principle in the hearts and lives of
all nations and peoples that this aw-
full world sorrow may never come to
pass"
