VIEW IOWA VOTE AS REBUKE
TO CONGRESS, NOT HARDING

President an asset to the party, while
Congress is a liability.
They cite the accomplishments OF
the arms conference, the declination
of the President to send representa-
tives to Genoa, the sound conditions
laid down by him for the reorganiza-
ton of Soviet Russia. his neutral at
titude in the coal situation. his efforts
to reduce the hours of labor in the
steel mills, his successful move to
bring about a reduction of freight
rates, his persistent championship OF
the building up of the merchant
marine and, even more notably his
resolute opposition to the bonus. None
of these accomplishments has been
disapproved by the voters.
The two possible exceptions to this
list of conspicuous achievements cited
by outside leaders were revealed in the
Iowa results, where Col. Brookhart de-
clared his opposition to the sales tax
and the merchant marine plan Of the
Administration.
Political Aspects Analysed.
An analysis of the political aspects
of the national balance sheet Justify
outside leaders in asserting that while
the President is an asset to the Re-
publican party. the Congressional
leadership imposes liability. In
proof >of this assertion there is cited
the defiant policies set up by Leader
Mondell and Chairman Fordney in the
House, the passage of the bonus bill
over the Presidents protest; the in
sistence OF Chairman McCumber that
the generally discredited tariff bill
shall be passed as reported by him;
the obstructive tactics of the agricul-
tural bloc; the attempted Gripping OF
the army and navy branches Of the
armed service, and general disregard
for the views of the President and
members of his Cabinet.
One of the most significant CON-
ments made by any outside leader to-
day was this:
"The people in my State where the
primaries have already been held are
fully satisfied with the account given
of themselves by President Harding
Secretary Hughes, Secretary Hoover
and Secretary Mellon and the other
members of the Cabinet with one or
two exceptions. But the people Of my
State are not satisfied with the ac-
count which the leaders of Congress
intent on promoting their personal
and selfish ambitions, have given of
themselves. All of the honors go to
the President and the executive end
of the Government. think Congress
would be entitled to the BOBBY prize II
the consequences of it's acts were not
so serious to both the executive branch
of the Government and to the coun-
try"

SOVIET DENIES ATTACK
ON THE RUSSIAN CHURCH
Reply to Britain Defends Ac-
tion Against Patriarch.

LONDON, June (Associated Press) -
Leond Krassine has transmitted to the
Archbishop Of Canterbury the reply of
the Soviet Government to protests or
the Christian churches of Great Britain
against the attack on the Russian
Church in the person of the Most Rev.
DIR. Tikhon, Patriarch of all Russia.
Ire reply denies any attack on the
church. 1t says legal proceedings were
taken by the Russian Government
against Patriarch Tikhon and other
ecclesiastics and individuals for having
resisted the Soviet's measures to save
the lives of tens of millions of human
beings. 1t adds that the vast majority
of the Russian clergy side with the
Soviet in the sequestration Of church
treasures.
The reply charges that those making
the protests did not raise their voices
when Russia was blockaded. and that
the Soviet considers the protests to be
dictated by a nar<ow caste and en-
tirely directed against the real Interests
Of tile people and the elementary de-
mands of humanity"

REBUFF M.CUMBER
ON BONUS MEASURE
Senators Refuse to Agree tc
Raid Bill Getting the
Inside Track.
DEMOCRATS ANNOY HIM
Measure to Be Reported To-
day With Chance of Being
Buried Long Time.

Special Dispatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington. ID. c.. june ID
Chairman McCumber' formally VIII
submit the bonus bill to the Senate to-
morrow. accompanied by report ex-
planning it's provisions in detail and the
approximate cost, estimated at $4,000
900, 900, spread over twenty years. The
ultimate cost when all administration
and other expenses are included is con-
sidered more likely TO be s5,000.000. 600.
AS heretofore explained, the measure
is a modification OF the House bill, the
chief change being the elimination OF the
land settlement option. No provision Is
made in the bill to finance ii. which has
caused strong opposition from the Treas
ury Department.
There was a persistent report at the
Capitol that after presenting the bill to
the Senate, Chairman McCumber would
ask unanimous consent to take 1t up Tor
Immediate consideration. However, Sen
ator Frelinghuysen IN. ID cleared ur
that point by asking Chairman Nc
Cumber his plan of procedure.
McCumber's Intentions.
Chairman McCumber told Senator
Frelinghuysen he would make no effort
to bring the bonus bill before the Senate
for two or three days. SO there the
matter rests. In truth. Chairman Nc.
Cumber made efforts TO get unanimous
consent of the Senators to take up the
bonus bill just as soon as 1t was re-
ported to the Senate. Many Senators
refused to enter into any such agree
rnent, thus throwing Senatorial courtesy
to the winds.
To add to the distress of Chairman
McCumber the Senate and House leaders
agreed to put the subsidy bill in after
the tariff measure. Thus the bonus
measure may be Indefinitely sidetracked
In keeping with the suggestion made by
President Harding since members Of
Congress have been unable to work Out
a plan OF financing 1t by means of 9
sales tax.
Undaunted. however. the understand
ing Is Chairman McCumber will make
a. move to get his pet measure before
the Senate on Monday. His efforts to
have the bonus bill replace the tariff
will meet opposition. for many Senators
on whom he is depending for ma
jority vote are opposed to that pro-
cedure.
While Chairman McCumber is con-
scious of the fact he has no chance 70
bring the bonus bill before the Senate
at this time, Republican leaders have
been unable to get him to refrain from
such a move. His chief concern, 1t is
clearly indicated Is the desire to make
an impression with the American
Legion. Should the Senate block his
efforts to jam the bill through he can
prove to the ex-service men that his
hands are tied.
The New York herald., 1922-06-08
Anxiou. for Clear Record.

Since Chairman McCumber must face
a primary contest in his State this
month he Is anxious to have his record
clear as far as bonus legislation Is con-
cerned. That he will make some i'm
portant gesture" In that direction is
certain. 1t is equally as certain that
he will be blocked at every turn. But
to add to his distress. the Democratic
Senators in favor of n bonus intend to
force the issue in such a manner as TO
embarrass the majority as much as pos
sible.
The Democratic program is directly
opposed to that sponsored by Chairman
McCumber. so that 1t is questionable
IL at any tine the different elements
supporting the bonus can be harmon
tied.
Bonus advocates were inspired to-day
by the arrival by airplane of a 500
pound petition carrying 100000 names
of persons favorable to a bonus financed
by q sales tax. 1t twas presented to
Chairman McCumber on the steps of the
Capitol. Senator Johnson (Cal.) made a
speech as part of the ceremonies.
