fore the house ways and means com.
mittee
Secretary Mellon reiterated his be
lief that il would be impracticable to
depend upon the foreign debt for Il

The treasury secretary has made 1t

regard this as an opportune time for
the enactment of bonus legislation.

quest from the house committee that

raising the money.
Members of the committee were un
derstood to be prepared to question
Mr. Mellon at some length, not only
as to the taxes which might be levied
TO pay the cost of the bonus, but also
as to the time when II might reason
ably be expected that proceeds from
the refunded foreign debt will b.
available for this purpose.
