l. ENATOR FRELINGHUYSEN
=, On. j., whose attitude on the
bonus bill has been in doubt.
cleared up the matter to some ex-
tent to-day by giving out copy OF
a letter dispatched by him on July
15 last to John Mulligan, member
OF the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
In this communication the New
Jersey Senator affirmed his friend
ship for ex-service men. but said:
THE President advises, the Sec
retary of the Treasury advises and
the great majority OF able men who
have studied the situation advise
that the passage of the bonus bill
at the present time would expose
the nation 70 the risk OF financial
disaster. IL now passed, even the
veterans would lose. for I am con-
vinced that their share in the loss
which would develop from the great
depression that would ensue would
exceed any profit they might derive
from the bill"
The Senator this afternoon de-
clined to make any further state
ment regarding bonus legislation.
His colleague. Senator Edge. has
already announced his open oppo-
sition to II.

The Sickening Fact About This
Bonus Legislation.

There in Congress who conscen-
tious in their stand for the soldier bonus They
relatively few. The New York Herald respects them
it always respects who stand for and fight for
the thing they believe in.
The sckenng fact about this bonus legislation is
that overwhelming percentage of the men in Con-
gress openly for the bonus secretly opposed to the
bonus In private conversation they declare themselves
against it in public utterance they declare themselves
for it.
One Congressman recently went far to say that
if poll of Congress taken behind closed doors it
would show that than 80 per cent of Congress
against the bonus Pressed to his stand he
said he emphatcally against the bonus but if the
measure were put to vote he would vote for it.
And this is your Congress- Mr.. Citizen-your repre-
senatives who checking out your money for their
political gain.-Editorial

Defense by Underwood.

The agreement 20 vote on the Yap
treaty came after q torrent OF attack
had been launched on the DemocTa tic
side. with support for the opposition
given by Senator Johnson (Cal) and a
defense offered by Senator Underwood
on grounds that gave little comfort to
the Republicans.
Al the outset OF the debate Senators
Glass (va.) and Robinson (Ark.) took
occasion to deny a report they had con-
suited with former President Wilson
and that It had been agreed among them
to attack the ratification OF the treaties
Both entered an emphatic disclaimer to
the report that the former President
was exertlng his influence TO defeat rat
lhcation. Both Senators Glass and Rob
inson explained they had not made up
their minds on their attitude. but Sena-
tor Robinson followed this by an attack
upon the zap treaty and by impiica ton
upon all of the treaties OF the confer
ence.
Senator Townsend assailed the Demo-
cratic minority for wasting time In use
less debate. He said he proposed 70 put
in the record the amount OF time used
by Senators in discussing extraneous
subjects and just how much II was cost
ing the country.

ARMS conference
FAVORED IN SENATE
Subcommittee On Naval At.
fairs Endorses House Pro-
vision For Farley.
By Uniyer>sl Service.

Senator Poindexter. Of Washing
ton. with Senator Swanson, of Vir-
Sinia, and Senator Hale. of Maine,
voted Yesterday as a subcommittee
of the Naval Affairs Commtte"
for another International disarma-
ment conference as provided in tn,
naval appropriation bill passed by
the House.
The action was taken by the
subcommittee in the fact of an
nounctment that the provision will
be vigorously contested when il
comes before the Senate.
Senator Lodge. a member of the
American delegation at the last
conference, is known to be strongly
opposed TO the calling of another
conference. He has announced that
he will speak against it in the SEN
ate. He will take the position that
things which could not he accom-
plished in the last conference GER
tainly could not be accomplished
now. pointing out that France has
absolutely refused to discuss the
question of limiting submarine con
struction.
The wording of the proposal
leaves 1t optional with the Presi-
dent TO call a conference, saying:
The President is requested TO
enter into negotiations with the
governments of Great Britain, .
France. Italy and Japan with a
view of reaching an understand
ing or agreement relative to lin
iting the construction of all types
and sizes OF subsurface and sur
face craft of 10000 tons standard
displacement or less, and of air
craft
The subcommittee is understood
to have disagreed as to whether or
not the provision would be effective.
1t was finally approved with the
comment that no harm would be
done in passing the question up to
the President. as the provision
gives him entire discretion to act
in the matter according to his own
judgment.
Senator King. of Utah. announced
that when the discussion opens in
the Senate he will undertake to
broaden the scope of the proposed
conference so as to include Russia.
Germany. Turkey, Bulgaria and
China.
If the measure passes the Sen
ate and goes to the President, the
suggestion of a conference will be
in no way mandatory upon the
Executive. who NAV completely ig-
more it if he so desires.
The Navy Department shares the
opinion of Senator Lodge and others
that another conference on thu sub
jects which could not be taken up
in the previous conference would
he futile and result in no agree
ment.

American Position in Avert
ing Collapse of Conference.

LAUSANNE. Dec. 2O.-Disruption
of the Near East peace conference
was averted this afternoon when
Ismet Pasha Unexpectedly took q
conciliatory attitude on the allied
demands for the freedom of the
Straits.
The allied plan as definitely out
lined to the Turkish delegation
follows:
Turkey must keep the Straits
open for warships and merchant
vessels in time of pe4ce.
HAVE RIGHT OF SEARCH.
When Turkey is at war neutral
.IerchaRt vessels shall have COM
.'lete freedom of navigation, Turkey
.lasing the right of search.
In time of war, whether Turkey
- neutral or belligerent, warships
of all nations. with certain re-
strictons as to number and ton
mage, shall have right of way.
Certain zones along the Straits
to be demilitarized and interna-
tional control commission estab-
hshed.
Ambassador Child had a personal
conference with Ismet Pasha today
and the former outlined the posi-
ton of the United States as fol.
lows:
FREEDOM FOR ALL.
Americas policy is based on a
policy which stands for complete
and constant freedom of all ma
tions without special privilege.
The United States will not be sat
isfied unless our warships can
pursue their peaceful errands
wherever our citizens and wher-
ever our merchant ships are car
rying on their lawful trading.
The American stand on the popu-
lation question was officially out
lined as follows:
OPPOSED By L. 8.
The United States is not in ac-
cord with the proposed compul-
sorry movement of populations un-
less II is shown that good pur-
poses will be served.
The American representatives
are unable to approve of the
movement from Constantinople OF
the Greek population of that city.
particularly on conditions which
will send an urban people. used to
artisanship and commerce. to ru-
raj districts.
We will not hesitate to express
in pursuance OF our legitimate
Humanitarian interests our protest
at any such dislodgement OF hu-
man beings
