is THE BONUS DEAD?

A considerable element in the house
of representatives has expressed itself
as favoring paying the soldier bonus
with our refunded European securi-
ties. The plan much resembles the
standard recipe for making rabbit
soup. which begins with: First
catch your rabbit The existing sit
uation regarding our European debts
is such that we might as well propose
to pay the bonus out of the surplus
air.
The attitude Of congress toward the
bonus seems to revolve around a de-
sire to find some way not to do it,
with everybody wanting to place the
blame for inaction on somebody else.
There is apparent a general desire
to evade responsibility for whatever
course may ultimately be followed.
Foreign governments owe the
United States approximately $11 ,o0O,-
100000, largely payable on demand.
On February the president signed a
bill creating a commission to arrange
the refunding of these obligations.
The commission is specifically en-
powered within three years to refund
and extend the time of payment of
the principal or the interest of any
obligations of any foreign govern
ment arising out of the World War,
now held or hereafter acquired by the
United States. The converted obliga-
tions may not have a. maturity be-
yond June Is. 1947, or an interest rate
of less than 4 Il per cent. Authority
to cancel any part of the indebtedness
or to substitute the obligations of one
country for another is specifically
withheld from the commission by the
terms of the act.
The proposal to pay the bonus from
our European bonds, which we have
not got, therefore, may well afford ba-
sis for the conclusion, apparently
reached by the Wollman Review, that
the bonus measure practically is dead.

Much Of the opposition to the Yer
saiues treaty among the senators was
based on President wilson's failure to
let the senate in on the negotiations
~ Paris. President Harding, appar-
entity actuated by desire to avoid the
mistake made by his predecessor,
ramed as part of the delegation to
the armament conference Senators
Lodge and Underwood, leaders of
their respective parties in the upper
house. Regardless of this precaution-
airy measure. we now find the senate
tearing the treaties to pieces and
loading them down with senseless and
useless reservations, just as it did in
the case OF the Versailles pact. This
clothing of politics in the habiliments
Of patriotism and parading it before
the country is not deceiving anybody
and it is becoming tiresome to the
public

WINTERS PASSING.
By EDGAR A. GUEST.

WINTERS PASSING.
A few more weeks of snow and sIeet
And crunching wagons in the street,
4 few more weeks of c0Id-and then
The robins will be here again.
And where the eayestrough drips and spills
VIII bloom a row Of daffodils.
It won't be long The snow VIII pass
And We shall see the tender grass.
The trees, now standing stiff and bare,
VIII house full many a nesting pair
And every twig, with winter gone
Will put its richest raiment on
Some morning / shall wake and see
The blue skies bending over me,
And see bright-red breasted pair
At work upon nest up there,
And I shall smile and say: AT last
The dark and dreary days have passed -
Then like the daffodiIs that bloom.
!. too, shall break the bonds of gloom
And / shall hum a CHEEKY song
Like one who has been troubled long
And then. released from strife and care.
Finds beauty round him eyeryw here

Clifford NJ. Holland, chief engineer
of the new Hudson river vehicular
tunnel, has notified Col. Arthur
Woods of the presidents conference
on unemployment, that the contract
for the construction of the subaqueous
portion of the great roadway which
is to connect the states of New York
and New Jersey, beneath the Hudson
river at New York City, will be
awarded this week by the two state
commissions. When in full operation
this great tunnel, to be the longest of
its kind in the world, is expected to
give work to thousands of men for
several years to come. and indirectly
to more, all over the country. The
project calls for the largest single
contract ever undertaken by either of
the states or by the city of New York.
The lowest bid received was s19,30O,-

Farm wages in the United States
dropped Approximately 81 per cent
during the calendar year of 1921, &C
ment of agriculture. The average
farm wage for the last calendar year
was s43.32 per month without board
and $30H4 a month with board. Av-
erage day labor wages during the haE
vest period was s2.79 day without
board and s2.24 a day with board.
Yet miners, railroad workers and
building mechanics continue to insist
that their wages remain at war fig
ures. Why should these workers be
placed in a privileged class?

The movement shows that the farmer

losses sustained by many producers
who liquidated a portion of their

changes that are possible in a country
OF unparalleled resources and which
at the moment holds a commanding
position as the great creditor nation
Of the world. Inasmuch as the farm

ed pursuits are thought TO represent
the heaviest purchasing power in the
