PARLEY CALLED
ON SHIP BILL
Decision Believed to Have Been
Made on Week End Trip OF
MayfIoWer.
MOVE OPPOSED TO DELAY
MondeII and Green Show Activity In
dicating Sidetraeking of Obstacles
to Measure-Report Harding
Against Postponement.

Washington, d. C.-Indications point
that President Harding will not con-
sent to the suggestion of Chairman
Campbell of the House Rules Commit
tee that the ship subsidy bill be al
lowed to go over several weeks until
after the tariff bill is passed by the
senate and sent to conference by the
house.
If he insists on action without fur
ther delay, the party leaders in the
house frankly state they will take
steps to carry out his wishes. This
attitude would seem to place the mat
fer squarely within the judgment of
the President, who up to this time has
steadfastly rejected all proposals for
postponement.
President Adamant
The first indication that Mr.. Hard
ing may remain adamant in his de-
mand for immediate action came aft
er the return Of the presidential party
from q weekend cruise ON the May
flower. Speaker Gillett and Chairman
Lasker of the Shipping Board were in
the party.
Chairman Lasker, of course, is anx-
ious for the earliest possible action.
Mr.. Gillett has stated he will give his
full support to whatever program the
President desires.
Shortly after Speaker Gillett ar
rived at the Capitol reports were in
circulation that he had brought word
that the President, after a thorough
canvass of the situation with Mr..
Lasker and the speaker, had deter
mined not to agree to the postpone
ment proposal.
Gillett said he could not make any
statement. He plainly indicated the
President had definitely made up his
Dind one way or the other, but ex-
planned courtesy to the chief executive
prohibited him from discussing what
transpired in the discussions aboard
the Presidents yacht.
Situation Clearing
Gillett thinks, however, that the sit
uation will be cleared up very shortly.
He said the bill ought to be passed at
once.
The second indication Of immediate
action was the discovery by friends OF
the legislation of strong and growing
opposition among supporters of the
bill to the suggested delay. Chairman
Greene Of the Merchant Marine Com
iaittee, in charge of the measure, said
he had found this feeling very gen.
eral among those on the majority side
who are for the bill.
Two reasons are advanced as to
why there should not be delay until
the latter part of August or Septem-
ber, as proposed: First, that will be
the very hottest part Of the summer
in Washington, and, second, many Of
the members who would vote for the
bill may be in the midst of their own
campaigns and have to neglect either
their chances of election or their duty
to the subsidy bill.

MEXICO GIVEN CREDIT
BOOST BY new PACT
Agreement Reached in New York
Sure to Pave Way for For
eiqn Investment.

Mexico City.-That the agreement
reached in New York by Secretary of
the Treasury de la Huerta with rep
resentatives of international bankers
Is bound to produce great benefits for
Mexico, was the declaration of Cen
eral Gales, chief of the Mexican cabi-
net. Mexican credit has gained I'M
mensely by the agreement, said Cen
eral Gales.
Declaring that he is certin that soon
there will be flood of foreign capital
for Mexican development, General
Gales added:
'Many business men will come to
take part in the program of expansion
and new enterprise in different parts
of the country. Foreign investors
have merely been waiting for this
turn of affairs TO come into Mexico to
carry out their contemplated prof
ects."
DispeIs False Rumors
Under Secretary of the Treasury
Manuel Padres, in charge of the de-
partment in the absence of de la
Huerta, said:
1.-THE favorable agreement is like
burst of sun through the clouds in an
overcast sky, dispelling false reports
and other phantoms propagated by
enemies within and without our gates.
"Many false prophets have been put
to rout. The agreement makes our
creditors our allies, and they are
bound to give the government all
support on the road to prosperity.
Il know nothing more about the de-
tails of the agreement than l have
read. in the papers, but I understand
that a special messenger is on the
way with the official text of the docu.
ment"
1t is understood that the messenger
referred to Is Martin Luis Guzman, a
director of Ell Munda and member of
the de la Huerta mission.

Conference Defeats Proposal to Dis
place Revenue Bill by Vote Of 800.
Washington.-A majority of the
Republican senators went on record
as in favor of passing a soldier bonus
bill as soon as the tariff bill is out of
the way. The vote in the Republican
conference was 27 to II. Twenty-Five
members, many of whom favor the
bonus, were absent.
No sooner had announcement of the
conference action been made, how
ever, than Senator La Toilette, who
was among the absentees, gave notice
that he will move in the senate to
take up the bonus bill at once, dis
placing the tariff bill and keeping the
bonus before the senate until it is dis
posed Of.
It is believed he will get the sup
port Of about twenty-five Democrats
and probably enough Republicans to
carry the motion, thereby .upsetting
