clares itself ready to facilitate eco
nomic contracts between private en-
terprise in the two countries.
Bitterly Denounced
The French delegation in an official
statement denounced the treaty bitterly
! and declared that France would not
change her attitude and would exact
from the Soviets recognition OF debts
and restitution Of contlscated property.
The italian spokesman also alluded
to the action of Russia and Germany ~
dishonorable and expressed the conVic-
ton that it was dcplorable from the
German viewpoint and not calculated 70
bring about happy result in the con-
ference.
The general opinion is that the Rus
slams and Germans overturned bee.
hive when they projected the treaty
into the Genoa conference. When the
shock came, little experts and big exs
pcrts began swarming through the
streets wildly clamoring for copies OF
the document. Even Mr.. Lloyd George
had not seen it at five o'clock although
It had been officially communicated TO
SiGnor Schanzrr considerably before
, that time. There had been no ceremony
at the signing Of the treaty on Sunday,
and none was invited. 1t was a new d.
plomacy from the east.
Nay Be A1iianes
While the authorities on international
law were porting over volumes to prove
that the recognition OF Russia should
first be de facto. Germany granted de
lure recognition. and suddenly thrust .
! brief definite document before the con-
ference. The much feared alliance OF
Germany and Russia. which Frame has
always dreaded, was believed BY many
/ delegates to have shown It's head while
the experts were still working with hE-
urcs and others were preparing speech
es, which may never be delivered. since
the conference Is facing an accomplished
fact. which changes the entire situatio

WORK CUT SHORT
AT NAVY YARDS

Washington, Feb. 9.-Thc first eff
feets of the armament conference on
the employment situation were felt
today when several thousand mechan-
ics and artificers in navy yards were
temporarily laid off after Secretary
Dc dnby had ordered suspended all ord
nance work designed for the naval
vessels slated for 'scrapping" under
the naval limitation treaty. The in
structions were issued in line with
President Harding's order of yester-
day suspending work on the vessels
under constructions affected by the
treaty. The navy yards affected are
those at Washington, Philadelphia,
Norfolk, Mare Island, Calf. and pos
sibly Boston. The ordnance plant al
South Charleston, w. Va, was also
affected similarly.
While these instructions were being
sent out, President Harding was re-
ceiving the report Of the American
arms delegation with the treaties
growing out of the conference Af-
ter receiving these documents from
Secretary Hughes, the president had
the four delegates as luncheon guests
at the White House. The president
has not decided whether he will de-
liver to the senate the treaties in per-
son, it was said later.
Earlier in the day the president
received the farewells of the last of
the arms delegations, seeing in turn
eign Minister Hanihara of the Jap
anese delegations, Johnkeer F. Wee
larts Won Blokland and Johnkeer w.

WOULD STABILIZE
FARM PRODUCTS

The senate yesterday passed a con
current resolution introduced by Sen
ator Laney of Chesterfield urging the
South Carolina delegation in congress
to support a bill introduced by Sena.

and,
Whereas, the stabilization of the
market values of leading staple agri-
cultural products by fixing and main

two years; and,
Whereas, the governments of Great

that agriculture in those countries
have prospered druing the past two
years, and as result thereof all
lines of business have been success
full;
Therefore, be it resolved by the

EIGHT SOURCES
FOR BONUS TAX

Washington, Feb. 9.-The field of
possible soldiers bonus taxes virtual
ly was narrowed today to eight
sources by the subcommittee of the
Republican members of the house
ways and means committee dealing
with the tax problem.
These sources were stated as fol-
lows:
A gasoline consumption tax of pos
sibly one cent a gallon; license tax
on automobiles of about 25 cents per
checks at about one cent for each
check; a tax on real estate transfers
at the rate of about five cents on each
$40 involved, and increased taxes on
admissions where the sum paid ex-
ceeds 25 cents, cigarettes, tobacco and
documentary stamps.
Representative Longworth of Ohio,
acting chairman of the subcommittee
in the absence of Representative Ford
ney, said there was little sentiment
for any increase either in the first
or second class postage rates, but add
an advance in the parcel post rates.
The bonus taxes will be temporary,
Mr.. Longworth said, extending over a
period of three years and will be de-
signed solely to take care of. the cash
payments to be made to former serv-
ice men during the two and one-half
years beginning on January 1, 1923.
1t was explained that the cost of the
other four options to be included in
the bonus measure would be spread
over 20 years and would not begin to
be serious charge against the fed
eral treasury for several years at
least.
Members of the subcommittee fig
ured that on the basis of estimates
furnished by treasury experts the
$3.50, 900 yearly needed for three
years for the cash payments could be
obtained from the eight sources out
lined. Exact rates in each case re-
main to be fixed but the subcommit-
tee expects to have the entire progrem
completed by Saturday. 1t then will
be passed upon by the majority men,
bers of the ways and means commit
tee and under present plans will be
submitted in turn to Republican men,
bers of the senate finance committee
and to President Harding. =
Graduated increases in the various
kinds of documentary stamp taxes
now in force were discussed today in
the subcommittee with sentiment said
to have been in favor of imposing the
highest rate in the case of the trans
fer of capital stock and bonds. The
figure suggested was Ito of l per
cent on all transactions whether orig
inal or subsequent. The present tax
is 1-20 of 1 per cent in the case of
the original transfer and 1-50 of I
per cent. on each subsequent transfer.
The suggested increase in the taxes
in cigarettes is estimated to yield
25,0OO,O0O while that on tobacco
would yield an additional $5,000,000.
In the case of admissions the exist
ing rates of 10 per cent may be dou-
bled where the charges exceed 25
cents.
