EST|MAT TES Of

Problem of Financing Soldier
Compensation Legislation
First Before Congress

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-Word
went out from the White House to-
day that President Harding was
strongly opposed to the writing into
the soldier bonus bill of a provision
for he use of the refunded foreign
bonds in helping finance the adjusted
compensation program.
Confidence was expressed that no
such provision would be included in
the measure.
The president was represented as
taking the view that since the re-
plete when the bonus bill was passed.
1t would be unwise to depend upon
the foreign bonds as a source OF rev.
enue to meet compensation payments

ers, he is understood 20 have in
sisted that the bonus legislation pro-

sources.
The problem of financing the bonus
is given congressional leaders no
small concernn. With the house
ways and means committee hearings
ended today. majority members OF the
committee and the senate finance
committee plan to attack that prob
lem soon. One difficulty In connec-
tion with the drafting OF the bill, It rs
explained, is the lack of definite in
formation as to the cost of carrying
out the "five-way" plan. This will de-
pend upon the number of former serv-
ice men who choose the various plans.

terms as the premier's speech in the
commons paying tribute to the bold
and wise initiative" of President
Harding and Secretary Hughes. He
emphasized the importance OF a treaty
which removed barriers to friendship
between Great Britain, the United
States and Japan, involved in an An
alliance, and commended
the good sense and public spirit of
all parties concerned, including Jap
anese delegates, who. he said, con-
Quoted their case with unfailing good
temper, much sagacity and a sincere
desire by Cancellation to arrive at
good results.
He said he thought it would be a
great mistake to form a defensive and
offensive alliance with France. He
doubted If any government proposing
such an alliance would be supported
by the country. 1t was desirable to
get away from the old policy OF MIL
itary alliances, which had turned Eu-
rope into armed camps. The govern
ment should do nothing to encourage
such policy.
Several Of the peers spoke in com
plimentary terms of the work of the
Washington conference, and the at
titude OF the Japanese delegates.

WASHINGTON, Feb. T. (Iy the
|. Associated Press)-A saving of about
$500. 100000 for the United States of
the present building program of the
navy, will result from agreements
reached at the arms conference, the
federal reserve board declared in a
statement tonight High naval Off
cials, however were of the opinion
that the boards estimate was too high
as, it was explained, the scrapping OF
ships now under construction would
involve payments of claims to the
builders which might offset a consid-
cradle portion of the savings result
ing from halting the building program

upon at the conference will effect i'm.

United States England and Japan,
whose finances are already in a rel
atively sound condition. Savings In
England and Japan, the board esti-
mated, would be approximately eQui-
valent to those of this country.
In France and Italy, however, the
board explained, no increase in naval
ornaments had been contemplated so
that their immediate problems would
not be affected. Any savings in Eng
land and France resulting from de-
creased expenditures during the next
year it was declared, probably would
have to be applied to debt reduction,
while in Germany any balancing Of
the budget was complicated by the
fluctuations of the mark and large
increases in taxation planned. Italy,
it was added, was finding it difficult
to increase government revenues to
meet increased expenditures.
1T is particularly important in the
present situation" the board said,
that not only government budgets
should be balanced so that short time
borrowing by the government may be
discontinued but also that the sum
of government expenditures should
be decided in order to reduce the tax
burden of the business community. In
most countries, however, curtailment
OF taxes seems highly problematical
at present. Only in the United States
has it been attempted"

cathedral only one tainted. She was
Mabel Normand, who was attired in
deep mourning, and who is one of the
last to have seen the dead director
alive.
Another within the structure also
gave way to hysteria. This other was
Henry Peavey, negro house man en-
ployed by Taylor. After the service,
Peavey was taken aside by Douglas
MacLean, film actor, and a neighbor
of Taylor, for a whispered conversa-
ton. Its nature was not made public,
but it was observed that MacLean
seemed excited.
Long before the hour set for the
services, the pro-cathedral was crowd
ed. The casket, draped with the
Union Jack and topped by Taylor's
army cap, stood before the altar.
Taylor's body was dressed in the uni
form Of an officer in the British army,
with which he served during the
world war.
Four uniformed and armed veterans
OF the British forces, with bowed
heads, guarded the casket, which was
banked with scores of massive floral
pieces from friends and fellow work
ers of the dead.
Half the seats were given over to
people of the film colony and half to
the general public.
On one side of the casket sat men,
bers of the Motion Picture Directors
Association, of which Taylor had been
president. Stars and producers were
scattered here and there. They in

They were in every case assured that
the war department was doing it's
