PROPOSALSTO REDUCE
FRENCH ARMY SERVICE
Radicals Would Cut 1t to
Year, Socialists to 8 Months.

PARIS, Feb. Is. (Associated Press.)-
An amendment providing for one years
obligatory service in the army. and
another by the Socialists providing for
eight months obligatory service, will
be presented when the recruiting bill
comes up in the Chamber OF Deputies.

proposition, said his idea is to organ
ize the army on lines proposed before
the war by Jean Jaures. tho Socialist
leader who contended that extended
service in the army was unnecessary to
fit the people of France to defend them
selves.
Mr.. Benazet's proposition involves a
plan for better organization OF a frame
work of officers and better system of
mobilization. whereby the French forces
can be more readily concentrated in
case of attack.

There is absolutely nothing in the re-
port made to the Senate by the Ameri-
can delegates TO the arms cois-~ence
which records the negotiations, CONVEX
sations of debates which led up to the
four Power treaty. according to Senator
Hitchcock (Neb.).
Senator Hitchcock to-day introduced
a resolution calling upon the President.
If not incompatible with public interest
TO furnish the Senate "all drafts or
forms presented TO or considered by the
delegates of the United States, the Brit
ish Empire, Japan or France considering
the subject of the four Power treaty.
Senator Hitchcock also requested in
his resolution the delivery of copies oil
all proceedings, records, negotlauohs'
arguments, debates, discussions and con-
versations which occurred between the
delegates of the United States, the Brit-
ish Empire, Japan or France or any of
them covering the subject of the four
Power treaty, or the supplementary note
which accompanied it or the supple
mentary agreement relating to it and
subsequently signed
Immediate consideration of the resolu-
ton was requested by Senator Hltch-
cock. whereupon Senator Curtis called
attention to the absence of Senator Lodge
and asked that the resolution go over
until tomorrow.
81 understand" Senator Curtis added,
that nearly all the matter asked for
has been printed.
mo" replied Senator Hitchcock u
had that impression, but careful e%-
animation of the records reveals that
the documents have not been printed.
II will say further that this is all the
more important because there was an
open and notorious disagreement be-
tween the President and the chief rep
resentative upon the American delega-
tion, the Secretary of State, Mr.. Hughes,
as to the meaning of the four Power
treaty and that disagreement led to some
revelations at the time and finally to
supplementary note explanatory of the
treaty itself"
Senator Moses On. H. suggested that
the resolution be referred to the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations which will
meet tomorrow morning.
Senator Hitchcock said he saw no rea-
son for referring the resolution to the
committee, whereupon the Senate de-
cided to postpone consideration of the
resolution until tomorrow.

"Badgered" on Bonus.

nal position through the threats OF

Returns from the Chamber of Com
merce inquiry tend to show the Demo-
cratic Senators and Representatives
who are supporting the bonus scheme
do not reflect the dominant sentiment
of their districts. The reports avail
able sEow that commercial and cit-
zens' organizations in the Southern
States have recorded themselves as
unuualifiedly opposed to the bonus
one of the important factors in the
Southern attitude is that with the
prospect of $50 every three months
TIE worthless white population as well
as the worthless negro population of
the South would refuse to work, and
that the result would be total eco
nomic disruption in that section of the
country.
Southern business men predict that
if the cash bonus plan goes through
the South will be flooded with pro-
fessional gamblers seeking to take the
ready cash away from the negroes.
This man estimated that with 800 900
negroes drawing the bonus, tie gam
blers would reap a harvest out of the

Pleads for Disabled.

Ever since the war the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States has
been active in it's efforts to see that
proper care should be taken of ex-
soldiers. wounded, disabled or needy.
At it's annual meeting in 1920 it de-
clared unequivocally in favor of aid
to the disabled. vocational education
and measures to aid men in culti-
vating the soil and building homes At
it's meeting in 1921 1T scored tardiness
on the part of the Government in
meeting these needs, and favored a
national system of reclamation of
waste lands.
On both occasions. however, 1t
sounded a warning against the bonus
proposition. The warning issued in
1921 was as follows:
"The Chamber however. calls atten-
ton to the fact that a general cash
bonus. or its equivalent in certificates,
would mean a very heavy increase in
the burden upon the entire community.
For this reason the Chamber favors
forms of assistance other than cash
bonus"
A Senator who has been most active
in urging the passing of bonus legisla-
tion-and who admits that he de-
livered himself too soon"-said this af-
ternoon he had been astounded by the
number of protests sent to him by men
who served in the army. He had been
led TO believe that the vast majority of
men who served with the colors abroad
we're demanding extra cash for their
services to the country. He expressed
the opinion to-day that he did not be-

Main Reason of Antis.N

This, in fact, was the chief reason
given by opponents of the bonus
scheme 1t was particularly manifest
in replies to the QUESTIONABLE sent
out by the Chamber Of Commerce OF
the United States, the answers to
which have been forwarded to both
the President and members of Con-
gress. The National Chamber of Com
merce propounded the same question
to all of it's members before taking
any position in the matter, as re-
auired by it's constitution.
The inquiry has progressed FAR
enough to indicate the determ!nation
of the supporters of the bonus
throughout the country to discourage
opposition to it. Telephone messages
have been received by manufacturers
and proprietors of small business ven-
lures threatening them with the boy
colt" if they do not urge Congress to
pass a compensation measure for eX-
service men.
A few weeks ago the directors of the
Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce
adopted resolutions opposing the
bonus. The advocates of the plan de-
manded another test and are charged
with having packed the meeting TO
reverse the first decision.

paign pledges" was more than offset,
however, by the avalanche OF remon-
strances that fell upon both the White
House and Congress.
For the first time opposition to the
bonus plan began to assume organized
and concrete form to-day. Chambers
of commerce, boards of trade, rotary
clubs, citizens organizations, groups of
manufacturers, local business organi-
cations made up of small tradesmen,
clubs composed of clerks and great
many other organizations sent along
protests against the bonus scheme.
There was a convincing concurrence
in the nature of the arguments urged
against the adoption of any bonus plan
under present conditions. Nine-tenths
of the protests reflected pronounced
opposition to the imposition of the
additional taxes.

WASHINGTON
DAY BY DAY
(By Isaac Gregg

Washington, Aug. 2S.-Although
many Senators have raised q great
cry for the necessity of limiting eX-
penditures of candidates for the House
and Senate in the November elections,
the bill which they have reported to
the Senate for that purpose was shown
recently to be a snare and a delusion.
Cnder the present bill, candidate
ostensibly could spend only $1,000
for campaign expenses, but there are
so many loopholes provided, purposely
so. that there is absolutely no limit
whatever to the amount that the cam
didate could spend, if he wanted to.
Here is the trick provision in the
bill:
provided further, That money eX-
pended by any candidate to meet and
dicharge any assessment fees, or
charge made or levied upon candidates
, bv laws of the State in which he re-
sides, or for his necessary personal
expenses, incurred for himself alone,
for travel and subsistence, stationery
and postage, writing or printing 10Th
er than in newspapers, and dlStrlbut-
! ing letters, circulars ana posters, dHu
for telegraph and telephone service
shall not be regarded as an eXpendl-
ture within the meaning of this title,
! etc.
In other words a candidate may
spend any amount he desires, mil
! lion dollars if he cared to, in order tC
get out propaganda boosting his can
didacy if he placed his name on the
! literature.
About the only real limitation in the
bill is one which is regarded by mos
persons as unfair This is the pro
vision that all money spent for news.
