EXPECT DRAFT
OF BONUS BILL.
IN TEN DAYS
Chairman Fordney States
He Will Then Submit
Measure to Conference
FORM IS UNDECIDED
Sentiment Fails to Center on Any
One Plan Following Presidents Let
ter

Washington, Feb. 1S.-During a
partisan debate over the soldier bon
US in The House yesterday, Chairman
Fordney, of the Ways and Means
Committee. announced that the ma
iority of that committee "will have
ready bonus bill within 10 days and
will submit it to Republican con-
ference"
Chairman Fordney did not indi-
cate what sort of q bonus DILL the
committee would bring out, nor was
there any crystalization Of sentiment
at the Capitol following the Presi-
dents suggestion that the soldier com
pensation must be financied through
sales tax or the entire plan post
poned. Majority members of the
WAYS and Means Committee held an
other meeting without making ma
terial progress
1t was declared by sales tax advo-
Gates that this idea was gaining
ground. On the other hand. Repre-
sentative Frear, of the Ways and
Means Committee, 4 staunch oppon-
ent of the sales tax. predicted that
there would be 100 Republican votes
against such measure and that
Democratic support would stop its
passage in the House.
President Harding declined to say
what course he would pursue should
Congress present to him bonus bill
out of harmony with the suggestions
in his letter to Mr.. Fordney yester-
day The President indicated that
he felt he should not answer hypothe-
tical questions; that Congress now
knew where he stood on the bonus
issue, and he would not outline his
probable action should Congress
disregard his views,
On the Senate side the bonus sit
uation remained practically un-
changed, although leaders continued
to predict it would be impossible to
put a sales tax through the upper
chamber no matter what the House
does.
The Senate apparently is inclined
to let the House Ways and Means
Committee wrestle with the bonus
matter and await the framing of a
bill in the lower chamber.
There were suggestions on both
sides today that the cash bonus idea
may have to be abandond and q com
promise plan of land grants and paid
up insurance substituted because of
the present condition of the Treas
ury. This suggestion. however. has
not vet made appreciable headway.
The definite promise of Mr.. Ford
ney that there will be bonus bill in
few days came during debate
started by Representative Jack Gar
ner, of Texas. ranking Democrat of
the Ways and Means Committee, who
charged that the majority members Of
the committe were holding executive
sessions and hearing witnesses speak
ing for the American Legion. Mr..
Garner admitted the privilege OF the
majority to hold executive meetings,
but contcnded the entire membership
of the committee should be present
when witnesses are heard.

RESE'RY YATIONS
TOFOUR POWER
PACT LIKELY
One Prevents Use Of Armed
Forces Except By Hi-
rection of Congress
PENALTY IN SECOND
Finance Committee Of Senate is Gath
ering Material For Fighting up
ponents of Measure

Washington, Feb. 18.--The Admins.
tration moved to hasten ratlhcatlon OF
the Arms Conference treaties yester-
day by bringing quickly to the sur, sur,
face all the principal issues involved
in their consideration by the Senate
AS a result move for several re-
servations to the four-power pact was
revealed. One reservation. which has
gained considerable headway in the
Foreign Relations Committee, would
prevent use of armed forces without
the express authorization OF Con-
gress. Some Republican members
think it will be adopted.
A second reservation talked OF
would provide for automatic termina-
ton of the agreement should any sig
natory power violate it. Several
drafts Of each Of these proposals have
been prepared by individual Senators,
although neither has been formally
presented in the committee or definite
" indorsed by any organized Senate
group. :,
Republican leaders on the commit
tee completed preliminary survey OF
opinion on every one Of the eight Con-
ference agreements laid before the
Senate, with the result that it became
apparent against what particular
points the opposition was preparing to
direct its heaviest fire.
At the same time President Hard
ing canvasscd opinion in the Amerl-
can delegation regarding the Senate
request for full information on the
Four-Power treaty negotiations and
let it be known that his reply to the
resolution of request would be sent
to the Capitol not later than Mon
day. He is expected to tell the Senate
in brief message that no stenograph-:
ic record of the negotiations was kept
or was practicable.
The committee discussions, which
began Thursday, developed few sur
prises in their disclosure of Senate
sentiment. In the view of Republican
leaders they confirmed the expectation
that the Four-Power treaty would en-
counter greatest opposition; that the
naval limita tion treaty would be ques-
toned by some Senators because Of
it's provision against further fortifi-
cation of Guam and the Philippines
and that the general Far Eastern and
Chinese tariff treaties might have
Some opponents among those who had
hoped to see the Conference give
China a greater measure of independ-
ence from foreign interference.
The treaties relating to the Is
land of zap and to submarines and
poison gas now are expected by the
leaders to meet with the least opposi-
ton of all, and some Senators believe
they may go through without dis
senting vote.
With the formal reading of the gen
eral Far Eastern and Chinese tariff
treaties Thursday, the committee COM
pletcd its formal preliminary exami-
nation of all the Arms Conference
pacts except that relating to zap. The
zap treaty also has been discussed in
q general way without formal reading
and is expected to come up again
when the committee meets Monday.
At the same meeting the Presidents
reply on the four Power treaty is ex
pected TO make it possible to resume
consideration of that instrument.

The Woman's Party finds that
Virginia discriminates against fe-
males in the following ways:
Fathers are given practically COM
plete control over their children and
mothers almost no control; woman
cannot choose her home or say of
whom the family circle shall consist;
a married woman's property is pre-
sumed to belong to her husband, un-
less proof of the contrary is shown:
inheritance laws discriminate against
women; grounds for divorce are un-
equal; women cannot serve on juries; !;
women are not admitted on equal
terms to the state university.

TRADERS OPPOSE
TAX BOND ISSUE
Washington Politics Has
Disconcerting Effect
on Money Market

NEW YORK, Feb. 1o.--The con-
flIcting course OF political develop
ments at Washington. due 10 pro-
posed bonus legislation and case
mcnt of money rates here and
abroad. were foremost influences OF
another inconClusive week in the fl
nRncial markets.
Banking and commercial interests
were divided regarding the adviss-
billty OF sales and little thought
seemed TO be given TO the question Of
compensation legislation, but oppo-
sition to y bond issue was practi-
cally unanimous.
Reduction or the British discount
rate to The level prevailing at this
and other leading federal reserve
districts occasioned no surprise.
Improved trade and better general
economic conditions were the chief
reasons given for the further ad-
vance OF French, Belgian ana Italian
currencies.
French and other European un-
derwritings were active and strong,
trading embracing the largest num-
ber Of foreign issues since the close
OF the war.
In the stock market gains pre-
dominated among popular shares.
Industrial conditions were again
observed by additional price cuts in
fabricated steel and iron, further
slowing down OF production in the
automobile and affiliated trades and
fresh labor disturbances at New
England and southern textile ccnters.
