MANY SIGNS OF REVIVAL

Washington, Feb 20 - Business
throughout the country, progressing
through we'll defined circles, is near
ing the point when the upward swing
of the economic pendulum shall be-
gin again, according to the annual
report of the Federal Reserve Board,
transmitted today to congress.
There are those the report says,
"who believe that the beginning of
revival is not far distant. When it
Coes definitely set in it will be fol-
lowed in due course by new era of
prosperity"
Business in one of it's ''long swings"
from prosperity, the report said, had
followed its usual notation which is
described as business activity and
increased production; expensive eX-
pansion and speculation followed
hitherto by panic and forced liquida-
ton; long period of slow liquida-
ton, business depression and stagna-
ton and then revival
'In the light OF recent experience"
::the report warns, 1--WE should remem-
Der when we again enter into period
Of full prosperity that a reaction will
follow sooner or later; and if the flow
Aof the incoming tide can be controlled
so that the crest may not be reached
too rapidly or rise too high the sub
sequent reduction will be- less severe
and the next period of industrial and
commercial, activity and general pros
perity will be marked by saner meth
,ods, greater achievements along cons
structive lines and by longer dura-
ton than any which we have had be-

The board confined its report, to an
account Of operation OF organizations,
for the year 1921 and without offering
any suggestions for legislation affect

BONUS is SENT
BACK TO HOUSE
SUBCOMMITTEE
White House Says Many Tele-
grams Are Received Opposing
Bonus At This Time
MacNIDER MAKES REPLY
Commander of Legion Says He
Can't Understand Change
in Front on Bonus
MacNIDER MAKES REPLY

Washington, Feb. 20. - Majority
members of the house ways and means
committee referred back today to the
special subcommittee the whole prob
lem of how the soldier bonus is to be
financed. 1t was announced the sub
committee would meet tomorrow and
would go into the question of a sales
tax, among other things.
Opponents Of the sales tax began
to lay their plans today for a fight
against this proposition. Representa-
tive Dickinson, Republican, Iowa, a
leader of the agricultural bloc called
a meeting Of Republican opponents
for late today. 1t was said that aside
from referring the finance question
to the subcommittee the majority
members discussed the FOrdney bill
as, originally introduced and s,approv-
ed some slight changes.
1t is indicated that further action
by the majority would await a re-
port from the tax subcommittee.
Coincident with today's meeting of
the committee to Wrestle anew with
the bonus question statements were
made by White House officials that
many letters and kilograms had
reached President Harding opposing
enactment at this time of bonus legis-
lation while the Legislative commit
tee of the American Legion made pub
lie telegram to the President from
the Legions national commander,
Hanford McNider, asking that the
legislation be no longer delayed.
The letters reaching the President
opposing enactment at this time of
bonus legislation greatly outnumbered
those favoring immediate legislation,
it was said at the White House. Some
of the opposition letters showed, how
ever, it was added, similarity in form.
Commander McNider in his tele-
dram declared the negligible MI
nority can be traced in nearly every
case to certain selfish interests en-
trenched in great financial centers
who have the most to lose by defeat
and would profit the most by victory"
The commander said the American
Legion did not understand "first COM
mitment and then retraction" on the
bonus question.

WHEAT GOES TO
NEW HIGH WHEN
TRADING OPENS
Reports of Crop Damage Cause
Ascendancy on the Chicago
Board of Trade

Chicago, Feb. 20-New high price
records for the season were reached
today in the wheat market. Crop
damage reports from the southwest,
together with fresh upturns in Liver
pool quotations, appeared to be chiefly
according to field advices.
Each day without rain or snow in
Kansas has been adding to crop
losses and it was indicated that con-
ditions in Oklahoma we're worse than
had heretofore been generally be-
lieved. a,Itia~
Opening prices which ranged from
IA to IL cents higher were fol-
lowed by decided further gains and
then moderate reaction.
Later the advance was resumed and
closing figures we're the highest of
the day. Reports that Germany was
purchasing huge quantities Of Ar
gentine and Canadian wheat and that
Japan also was in the market did a
good deal to accelerate the upward
swing The finish was strong, 4 to
6 1-4rcents net higher with May STAG
IA to 1-2, and July $1.27 3-4 to 7-8.

HARDING SAYS
THERE WEREN0
SECRET PACTS
Replies to Request of Senate For
Information on Arms
Negotiations

Washington, Feb. 2O.-President
Harding replying today to the senate
on the Hitchcock resolution asking
for information relative to negotiation
of the four-power Pacific treaty, said
it was impossible to furnish the re-
quested information because most Of
the negotiations were conducted with
out maintaining a record. The Pres
ident said it would not be compatible
with public interest to disclose the
confidential negotiations but he de-
clared that there were no conceal
ed undertakings and no secret ex-
changes Of notes" .<
Almost coincident with the arrival
Of the Presidents letter the foreign
relations committee Of the eenate by
vote of 10 to / ordered favorably
reported the treaty between the Unit
ed States and Japan regarding the
Island of Yap.
The action followed two-hour de-
bate in the committee and was taken
after several Republican and Demo-
cratic senators had indicated they
would favor reporting the treaty to
the senate but reserving the right to
further discussion Of it on the floor.

UNCLE JOE CANNON is HAPPIEST AS HE
PLANS TO QUIT HOUSE AFTER 46 YEARS
BY HARRY HUNT.

Washington, Feb. 2O.-When Uncle
Joe Cannon steps out of the House Of
Representatives on March 4, 1928, he
will carry fund OF political remin-
iscences such as is possessed by no
other individual in or out of Wash
ington. ..
On that date Uncle Joe will have
concluded 46 years service as men,
ber Of the House. In the course of
those years he became the center OF
perhaps the most bitter partisan
struggle Congress ever knew.
Yet the best recollection Uncle Joe
will take out with him on retirement,
he says is the knowledge that parti-
san differences or p~rty policies have
little power to wreck real friend
ships.
Always there have been during my
service" Uncle Joe says, "and l be-
lieve therq always will be- i'm the
House of Representatives fierce con-
tests touching politics.
"But after partisanship has passed
and even while it was on-we had
as many friends on the other side
who would go as far outside partl-
sanship or policies to serve one an
other, as we had upon our own sides.
1--WE should not be human if we
did not disagree at many points. And
there would be no work for Congress
if there were not many men OF many
minds in the country"
"The first notoriety 1 ever obtained
in the House." Uncle Joe explains,

The situation in northern Ireland is
considerably calmer than at any time
during the last week and the fear Of
a clash on the southern frontier has
dwindled almost to the vanishing
point. The rival forces, however, re-
tanned their positions along the bor-

next Iew days will see them with

heavy armed forces is looked upon
as a potential menace to peace.

WILL
PRESENT BONUS
ARGU N EN- rs
Members of Commercial Club
Invited To Attend Meeting
Wednesday Night

A meeting which is expected to be
Of unusual interest has been called
for Wednesday night by the American
Legion, with members Of the Com
mercial club as guests, at which the
adjusted compensation act will be
discussed by Legion men.
Announcing the meeting, Adjutant
Harrington, of the post, said that it
had been agreed with Secretary Ken
iston that all the features of the ad-
justed compensation act could not be
outlined in a Commercial club bulle-
tin. At the meeting Wednesday night
speakers will present the Legion ar
gument for the bill and advise as to
just what it means, as they see it.
Members Of the Commercial club are
invited to attend the meeting, which
will begin at o'clock sharp. No one
except three Legion speakers will be
called upon, but others may ask ques-
tions or make remarks if they choose.
Adjutant Harrington said that in
1920 the United States Chamber Of
Commerce passed resolution in op-
position to the general cash bonus and
present argument, which the Legion
holds is weak and misleading. He
said that very few people understood
the adjusted compensation bill; that
there is no such thing as a general
cash bonus, although there are cash
payments.
A large attendance of members Of
the Commercial club is expected. Fol-
lowing the meeting there will be q
social affair. with members of the
Ladies Auxiliary present and the
Commercial club members are invited
!. to remain for this
