way out of the soldiers bonus

Gated today.
They suggested that the big
saving expected to be effected in
navy appropriations as a result
of the limitation Of naval arnia-
ment fixed by the conference
could be readily diverted to pay
ing for the bonus. .
See ssOo, 600, 900 Gut.
Slicing off at least s20o,ooo,0o0
from the naval budget is being
urged by Republican members OF
the House Naval Affairs Committee
with reductions in personnel from
the present strength Of 1000 offi-
GERS and los, 900 men to 2,400 OIL
GERS and 10000 men.
Some big navy" man In Con-
gress are opposed to the enlisted
personnel being cut below 5000,
but, as II is understood that Presi-
dent Harding would not consider
a reduction to $4,000 excessive, 1t
is believed that Congress win go
well below that figure.
Congressman Mondell of Wyoming
the House Republican leader, said
when he visited the White House
that he believed a decision would
be reached to pay the bonus through
large savings he was certain would
be effected in both army and navy
appropriations.
Mondell also expressed the belief
that the proposal for sales tax
as a means of financing the bonus
would be abandoned, as a canvas OF
the House has convinced Republican
leaders that there are still not
enough votes In Congress to insure
the imposition of such a tax even
II it were Incorporation in q bonus
bill.
The pairing to the bone of not
only army and navy but appropria-
tions all along the line Is planned
by Republican leaders. and out Of
the big cuts contemplated they are
confident that at least $3.50, ,000, 900
aside for the bonus despite the Gov
ernment's other pressing financial
requirements. 't..
May Issue Bonds Also.
1t In also suggested that small
issue of short-term Government
obligations may have to be resorted
to to make up whatever deficiency
may occur between the amount
actually needed for the bonus and the
money made available for II by the
contemplated cuts in army, navy,
and other appropriations.
II is believed that the President
would not object to such n plan,
especially II 1t resulted in Congress
agreeing to an economy program"

future filing it's pledges for the
passage Of a bonus bill at this
session.
Republican members of the Senate
Finance and House Ways and
Means committees were still wait
ing to hear direct from tho Presi-
dent on the subject of the bonus.
They hoped he would send them a
letter containing an expression OF
bis views before the end of the day.
II was reported that the President
was engaged upon such letter, but
had not yet found time to CON-
nlete II.
