States one better in its failure to
recognize the league Of nations.
The Russians do not admit that
the league even exists. and are
careful in their diplomatic CORE
spondence, when they must refer
to it, to term it the 'so-called"
league of nations.
In a recent note to Finland, pro-
testing against Finland's action in
taking the Karelian question to the
league, Foreign Minister Chitchor-

Idea of Financing the Bill in
This Way Is Said to Have
Been Virtually Abandon
ed By Leaders,
MIDDLE AND FAR WEST
OPPOSITION IS STRONG
Number of Majority Mem
berS Favor Using Part Of
the Proceeds From the
Refunded British Debt,
tnr The Assoclatcd Press. j

Washington, Feb. 4 (by the AS
sociated Press. )-Republican house
leaders are understood virtually to
have abandoned the idea Of financ
ing the soldiers bonus bin by
general aales tax.
OppositiOn among majority
members, mostly from the middle
and far west, to a sale9 tax is sal
to be.s3 strong as to threaten de-
feat Of such a program. The ign-
ment against it is understood to
be practically that which forced
acceptance Of the so per cent in
come surtax voted into the revenue
bill by the senate.
Developments at further hear
ings today before the house ways
ana means committee disclosai
that in spite of Secretar. Melons
opposition to the plan, a number
Of the majority leaders favor tbs
use of part of the proceeds from
the refunded British debt In help
ing finance the adjusted compen-
sation.
They believe they would meet
with a greater measure Of public
approval than would program
involving the raising of the entire
amount by special taxes,
Opposes Proposal.
Representative Ramseyer, re-
publican, Iowa, before the commit
tee, opposed the proposal, arguing
that such use Of the money would
be a breach of contract with the
holders of Liberty bonds, who, he
said, had been told in the law
adopted by congress that the pro-
ceeds from the foreign debt would
be used to retire the Liberty bonds
issued to raise the money advanced
to the foreign nations.
Chairman McFadden, OF the
banking and currency committee,
favored the financing of the bonus
through the sale I'm this country OF
1.-THE refunded British bonds with
1.-THE principal and interest guaran-
teed by the American government
| as we'll as the British government.
He contended thatawith this double
guarantee the bonds would bring a
higher price than would American
government securities sold for the
isome purpose.
Inheritance Taxes.
Increased inheritance taxes as
another means of financing the
bonus were advocated by Mr.. Ram
sever, who said such taxes could
mot be passed on and would not be
a penalty on initiative and enter
prise He thought the present re-
turn of $15AOOO,000 from this
source could be increased by $780,
100000 a year without imposing
any hardships
Chairman Fordney and some
other members of the COMMITTEES
apparently received this suggestion
without approval, but other mem-
bers indicated sympathy with it.
Naval aud Army Reduction.
Now that the arms conference
has approved the naval limitation
treaty, some committeeman are
studying the subject of naval and
army reduction as one means or
providing revenue for the bonus.
Because of the cost of scrapping
ships on the ways they are not GER
tain that the building appropriation
can be greatly reduced in the next
fiscal year, but it is their thought
that with many ships now after to
be consigned to the scrap heap the
personnel can be cut down sharply,
effecting a considerable saving.

Mondays session will be devoted
entirely to formal signature of the
conference treaties and to an adj
dress by President Harding, voic-
ing his appraisement OF the work
accomplished by the conference he
called, Most of the foreign dele
. gates plan to leave Monday night
or Tuesday.
Two Treaties Accepted.
The two treaties accepted form
ally at today's session both relate
to China, one providing for re-
vision of the Chinese customs sys-
tenn and the other embodying Elihu
Roots -four points" and the am
plification of the open door. Some
of the separate resolutions put on
the record deal with collateral Chi
nese questions but included In the
lot was n supplement to the four
power Pacific treaty excluding
from the scope of the agreement
the principal islands of the Japan
ese empire.
A few hours after the plenary
session adjourned the Japanese and
Chinese met and signed the treaty
by which Shantung is to be re-
turned to Chinese control.
Shantung Question.
Although the long debated Shan
tung question occupied a key posi-
tion in the conference program. the
negotiations by which it was set
lied proceeded outside the confer
ence and only the two Oriental
powers were made parties to the
treaty.
Every delegation had a voice in
the final session of oratory that
really brought the work Of the
conference to a close today, and
every spokesman predicted that the
negotiations would bulk large in
the history of the world. Secre-
tary Hughes for the United States
and Arthur ]. Balfour for Great
Britain hailed the conference ac-
complishments as ushering fn a
new era" of international under
standing, and Albert Sarraut for
France eulogized the record Of
achievement as constituting the
"1oftiest precedent of mankind"
Similar expressions came from all
other national groups.
Japan Rcnews Pledge.
What the negotiations had done
for China and for peace in the
crucial area of the Pacific and the
Far East was the keynote of nearly
all concluding addresses. Japan
renewed her pledge of fair treat
ment for China through Baron
Shidehara, who declared his gov
ernment wanted only to aid In
bringing the Chinese nation to its
proper place in the world. and Min
lister SIZE of the Chinese delegation
asserted his people would look
upon the decisions reached here as
the animus of a new inspiration to
go forward to orderly development.
Dwelling on the Chinese situa-
ton as cornerstone of the work
OF the conference Mr.. Balfour
warned that no nation in the future
could violate the principles laid
down here without sacrificing the
confidence of the powers, Here
after, he said. selfish aggressions
at China's expense could not be
excused on plea of ignorance or
of private understanding" with
minor Chinese officials.

WONDERFUL is. HUMAN MIND
lieve, and Then Finds Reasons to
~ Confirm Convictions.

A wonderfully curious organ IS tho
human mind, a never-failing source Of
humor-that is, the minds Of other
people. And that is part Of the hu-
NOR. IF I kill you, It's all right"
Leech made one of his Punch charac-
tiers say to another; "but if you kill
Inc, by Jove, it's murder"
We clearly see the defects in the
reasoning Of acquaintance. Our
friends, Of course, are more logical,
but that is because they are our
friends. Or, rather, they are our
friends because they reason as they
do. Their opinions have drawn us
to them. They agree with us.
And this agreement is evidence Of
the correctness of our own beliefs. 1t
proves our ability to interpret condi-
tons and to draw conclusions, or it
would were proof of such a self-evident
fact necessary. The agreement of our
friends shows that we are free from
the mental weaknesses Of them who do
not agree with our views.
It also proves the intelligence Of our
associates. And we would not have
unintelligent friends. That is our rea-
son for choosing them, or, rather,
the reason why our opinions choose
them. We think that we select our
friends, but this is one of the human
decisions. Our opinions are the Sc
1ective force. This is phase Of our
defensive social behavior. 1t preserves
our good opinion of ourselves.
We believe what we want to believe
and then find reason to confirm our
convictions. Of COURSE, we do not de-
liberately seek arguments for views
which we already hold. Usually, we
are not even aware that our opinions
are fixed, so subtly have they gained
the. mastery.
We think that we are open minded
seekers after truth. But business and
social interests have determined our
views and we are really trying to JUS
selves. Self-esteem is even more I'm.
portant psychologically than the es.
TEEN of others. And this human GRAY
ing for self-justification by argument
sets in motion the defensive neutral
mechanism which gives the mental cor,
relate, defensive thinking. We must
justify ourselves to ourselves.-Edgar
James Swift, in Scribner's.

Trees in the ParIor.

In Maine the latest thing is to have
trees in the parlor. Frank Anderson
of Patten finds three young birches
a great decoration for his bungalow
on the shores of Shinn Pond. To be
exact he has the pleasure of gazing
mainly upon their silver trunks, for
the greater part Of the fronds stand
high above the roof, finding the way
to sun and rain through convenient
holes. TO allow them to sway with
the passing breeze, as all birches like
to do, he has made the holes very
large, but to protect the heads Of his
guests and his family he has cleyerly
tackled a waterproof cloth to the roof
and to thc~"trunk and plastered the
edges together with cement so that
the joints are Watertight. Now he
can sit in his armchair tilted back to
nature under his own roof tree.
