Text OF President Harding's Letter

g Wsshington.-The text of the
President's letter regarding sol
aiers bonus. which was addressed
Ito Chairman Fordney of the
House Ways and Means Commit.
tee, follows:
IN accordance with the promise
y made to yourself and your asso.
clates on the Senate and House
committees charged with the re-
sponsibility of formulating pro-
posed bonus legislation, have
carefully looked into the program
OF taxation which has been sug-
gested. In addition thereto I
nave made inquiry into the feasi-
oiiity Of issuing either short
time Treasury notes or longtime
bonds to meet the financial obliga.
lions which the proposed legisla.
tion VIII impose. 1t is not possible
TO commend to you either of the
plans suggested.
General Sales Tax is Best Plan.
1t continues to be my best judg-
ment that any compensation leg.
islation enacted at this time ought
TO carry with it the provisions for
raising the needed revenues, and
nno myself unable to suggest any
commendable plan other than that
OF general sales tax. Such a tax
Will distribute the cost of reward
ing the ex-service men in such
manner that it will be borne by
all the people whom they served
and does not commit the Govern
ment to class imposition of taxes
or the resumption of the burdens
recently repealed. the mainte-
nance of which can be justified
only by great war emergency.
1t is fully realized how great is
the difficulty which confornts the
Congress in solving this difficult
problem. am aware of the strong
sentiment in Congress in favor of
this adjusted compensation. | have
spoken approvingly myself, always
with the reservation that the be-
stowal shall be made when it may
De done without such injury to the
country as will nullify the benefits
TO the ex-service men themselves
which this expression of gratitude
is designed to bestow.
Opposes PieeemeaI Payment Plan,
1t is not an agreeable thing to
suggest that action be postponed
again, but, frankly, do not find
myself favorable to the piecemeal
payment plan which is manifestly
designed to avoid embarrassment to
the Treasury. The long drawn.out
payments will not afford an effect
i've helpfulness to the service men.
We have no serious problem in
beginning the allotments of public
lands and the immediate issue of
insurance. The real difH.
Guilty lies in the payment of the
cash bonus. Rather than provide
that the maximum cash PAYMENTS
shall extend over a period of 2h
years, 1t would be vastly better

Big Strain Now Upon The
Treasury.
Inasmuch as the Treasury is to
be called upon to meet more than
$6,000,000,00O Of maturing obliga.
tions In the 16 months immediate.
ly before, us. 1t is not possible to
recommend the issue of several
hundred millions of additional
short-time notes. Further exces.
sive borrowings would likely undo
all that has been accomplished in
readjusting interest rates and
stabilizing the financial world,
both vitality essential to the re.
sumption of industrial and CON-
mercial activities.
Granting that it is not fair to
oppose any proposed plan without
orering a substitute, let me re.
peat that believe the American
people will accept the levy of a
general sales tax to meet the pro-
posed bonus payments, and we
should contribute thereby no add
ed difficulties to the problems of
readjustment. If Congress will
not adopt such plan, it would be
wise to let the legislation 60 over
until there is a situation which
will justify the large outlay. We
are pushing the disposition of sur
plus war property and have other
transactions under consideration
which ought to prove a great re.
lief to the Federal Treasury. 1t
is not consistent to enact legisla.
ton IN anticipation of these
things, but it would be a prudent
plan to await the developments,
and can see in such a postpone.
ment no lack of regard for the
service men, in whom all the
American people are SO genuinely
interested.
Taking Care OF The Disabled,
l take it that the ex-service men
themselves are no less concerned
than others about the restoration
OF business and the return to
abundant employment. Those of
their wounded or sick comrades
who were impaired by their war
service are being cared for with
the most liberal generosity the ma
ton can bestow. There are here
and there exceptional cases of
neglect, and attending complaint,
but we are seeking them out and
correcting with all possible speed.
1t has not been possible to meet
all the demands for special hos
but we are building
to that end, without counting the
cost. We are expending $400, ,O0O,.
600 a year in compensation, hos
pltallzation and rehabilitation.
These things are recited to reas.
sure you that such delay as will
enable Congress to act in prudence
for the common good will have no
suggestion of unmindfulness or
Ingratitude.
