INTENDS WAR DEBT
/ T0PAfFOR BONUS
Fordney Says House Kept
This Secret Because Funds
Were Not in Hand.
Ry the Associated Press.

Ry the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, April 19.-The
House of Representatives, in passing
the soldiers bonus bill. intended that
the revenue to meet it should come
from money owed this government by
foreign nations, but refrained from
making this public because I'VE did
not want to appear to mortgage some
thing not yet in our possession" Rep
resentative Fordney of Michigan,
chairman of the House ways and
means committee. last night told the
Oscar H. Gruber Post of the American
Legion.
1--WE took from for eign nations de-
mand obligations in exchange for
about $4,000, 100000 loaned them" he
said. The agreement was that at the
close of the war the terms of these
loans should be rearranged. the de-
mand obligation to be exchanged for
long-term obligations, not to run,
however, longer than the terms Of
the United States bonds by sale of
which the money was obtained by the
government.
Certificates to BE Met.
The intent of the House in passing
the soldiers bonus without provision
in the bill for the raising of the
funds to meet it was that the GER
tificates to the soldiers should be met
by the proceeds from the foreign
loans. We intend that as soon as
these longterm foreign bonds are in
our possession they shall be guaran-
teed by the United States government
and sold to the American people, and
that the bonus shall be met with the
proceeds therefrom. We did not an
nounce this. however. because we
did not want to appear to mortgage
something not yet in our possession.
Now. If the Senate would get move
on, we could talk business"
Would Amount to Bond.
The insurance certificate which
would be given by the government to
the soldiers under the terms of the
bill passed would amount to a gov
ernment bond, Representative Ford
ney said.
ANY bank" he added that would
refuse loan on these certificates
might as well close its doors, for its
refusal will amount to an admission
that 1T hasn't the money.
BY the second provision of the bill
the government will advance imme-
diately to any man desiring to buy
home or farm the full value of his
certificates plus 25 per cent. For edu-
cation 1t will advance full value plus
40 per cent, payable at the rate of
S1.75 a day. The government, by an
other provision, will reclaim lands,
sell at cost to the soldier and allow
him forty years to pay"
