BONUS BILL VETOED
From the Wilmington Morning News).

True to his promise President
Harding has vetoed the soldiers
bonus measure. And he was not long
In doing it. His arguments against
he and others have urged ever since
this matter was thrust upon the
attention OF the public.
Friends OF the bonus will, OF
course, try to have the Senate fail
to sustain the President. II looks
as IL It would be a close call on this
point, but the staunch supporters
of the President are confident that
the veto will not be overridden.
The country is under deep obliga-
tions TO Mr.. Harding and 20 those
who have opposed the bonus
The President pointed out that
Congress had failed to provide
means for paying the bonus, though
in the end the gigantic sum OF some
four billions OF dollars would be re-
quired. Mr.. Harding showed that
there would have to be borrowing
upon the credit of the nation to
meet those obligations, no matter
how hard the proponents of the bill
tried to conceal that fact.
He also called attention to an
other important phase of It which
is, that the country is not neglect
Ing. and will not neglect, those who
fought under the flag during the
great war. AS time rolls on there
will be later obligations for the aged,
INDECENT and dependents.
There will be a gigantic army of
pensioners, and the money which
will be distributed in pensions and

Police Var on the Pistol
cFrom the New York Heraid),

Further approval OF the plan OF
lessening crime by restricting the
manufacture and sale of pistols and
similar weapons comes from the DO
lice chiefs OF American ofties who
have been holding a convention in
this city. Some OF them would do
even more IN this direction than the
American Bar Association proposes
Thus Chief French of Columbus
Ohio. advocated a resolution asking
the United states Government to
cease selling trench knives, bay
onets and other weapons left over
from the world war as well as the
revolvers of obsolete models which
It is Offering at bargain prices.
The attitude OF the police chiefs
assembled IN this city was a mani
festatlon OF a notion widely held.
Unquestionably the belief is spread
ing that more laws against pistols
would check crimes of violence. In
Maine recently because a man of un-
balanced mind shot a girl to death
in Portland an enactment was pro-
posed prohibiting the sale of fire.

permit.
A measure even more stringent
has been drawn UP. but not yet en-
acted, In Massachusetts,. Under its
provisions the manufacture Of
pistols would be prohibited except
for military and official use. Under
a recent Massachusetts, law the

, reach such a fabulous figure that
the President does not even venture
to suggest 1t. The country will face
new billions upon billions.
Mr.. Harding is mild IN his COM
ments on the failure to provide
means for meeting the enormous
expenditures that the bonus calls
/ for. Congress in this phase of it
acted in a most cowardly manner.
1t shifted and lodged and shirked
and finally threw the whole thing on
the shoulders of the President. And
Congress has learned that he was
equal to the occasion.
If the members of Congress who
have been declaring that the coun-
try was clamoring for the bonus
legislation believed what they pro-
fessed, they would have had no
trouble or doubts about the ways
and means of raising the billions
which would go to men whether
they were bodied or not.
Instead of that Congress made a
spectacle of itself by disregarding
the warning of competent financiers
and the warning of President Hard
ing, and showed this measure
through so that congressman who
were candidates for reelection may
say they supported the bill. think
ing that action will get them votes.
There is plenty of evidence that It

Calling KemdI to Order
CFrom the New York Tribune.).

It IS the duty Of the Allied sigma
tories OF the Treaty of Sevres to
act in concert TO execute what is left
OF that much revised compact. There
is a general agreement that the
Straits must remain neutralized and

But even the Turkish Nationalist
government is not opposed to neu-
tralization. One of its diplomatic
representatives made that announce

no claim to the contrary.
The British Cabinet is hurrying
reinforcements to the Straits. They
are needed 20 protect the neutral
zone south OF the passageway from
violation by Kemars armies. If he
invades this territory he makes war
on the Allied signatories. But It
would be foolish OF him to take this
unnecessary risk-as foolish as it
was for Constantine to break with
the Allies, renounce all the benefits
of the original Sevres settlement and
try single handed TO conquer Asia

ed and even then not on the day OF
application for purchase. There
must be a record kept OF all sales
and dealers must make a regular re-
port of sales TO the local licensing
authorities and to the Commissioner
of Public Safety. This law is some
what similar to New York's Sullivan
law. ~.
Whether a State law forbidding
the manufacture Of .revolvers save
for certain purposes would ac-
complish its purpose may reasonably
be questioned. The object of course
would be to keep weapons out Of the
hands Of criminals and persons
mentally unfit TO have them. So far
as may be this objective is reached
by the permit system. But that
system is inefficient. With mail
order sales uncontrollable and
with shops in adjacent States
selling pistols without restriction
such a law Is more or less a nullity.
The permit systems effect in re-
ducing the armament of criminals
and irresponsible persons Is inap-
preciable.
Undoubtedly the American Bar
Associations law enforcement COM
mittee was within the fact when It
reported that pistols were used In
80 per cent of the countrys list of
murders. Likewise the automobile Is
used in robberies. 1t Is plainly be-
yond the resources OF criminal law
to keep automobiles out of the hands
OF criminals, and legislation that
can put pistols beyond their reach
seems to be a problem equally dif-
icu1t OF solution.

Sidetrack Ship
Subsidy Marine
For Tariff Bill

WASHINGTON, June 19-While
still awaiting decision by the presi-
dent, Republican leaders of the house
declared today indications were that
the ship subsidy bill would not be
taken up until the tariff bill now be-
fore the senate had been sent to con-
ference.
Answering inquiries from the floor
as to whether the public might soon
begin three day recesses-the pro-
posed program in event of a months
delay in consideration of the shipping
measure, Representative Mondell. the
Republican leader, said he expected
to be able to make a definite state
ment to the house within the next
day Or two.
There were demands to know
whether the president would approve
the suggestion made to him Saturday
by Chairman Campbell of the rules
committee that action on the bill be
deferred until the house was ready
to send the tariff bill to conference.
THE president has not made up
his mind" said one of the leaders.
Speaker Gillett and Chairman
Lasker of the shipping board. guests
of the president on the Mayflower
over Sunday, declined to enlighten
those who sought information as to
the presidents attitude. The general
opinion however. was that the house
might quit work for month around
July I. 1t will be called back about
then to get the tariff into conference
and take up the shipping measure.

MAJORITY LEADERS
APPROVE PLAN To
Defer BONUS BILL
Tariff Measure Will Be
First Consideration of
Senate, Republicans De-
eide in Conference.

WASHINGTON, June 10 The
compromise program of Republican
leaders to defer action on the SOL
diers bonus bill until after the tariff
measure has been disposed Of was
approved today at a conference of
majority senators. The vote was 81
to II. At the same time the confer
ence went on record as favoring final
action on the bonus before any recess
or adjournment of congress.
Before adopting resolution en-
bodying this program, the conference
rejected, 80 to 9, a motion by Sem
ator McCumber, Republican, North
Dakota, to lay aside the tariff for
action on the bonus. McCumber,
who has charge of both measures,
then offered the compromise resolu-
ton. Despite the conference action
there viii be an open fight in the
senate to get the bonus bill I'D be-
fore the senate returns to consid-
Grafton of the tariff measure. laid
aside last week for the naval appro-
priation bill. Several senators on
both the Republican and Democrats
sides were prepared to offer a mo-
ton that the bonus be taken up i'm
mediately but Republican leaders
appeared confident that such a mo-
ton would be defeated.
Should the majority's compromise
program be put through, final senate
action on the bonus probably would
not come before September. Esti-
mates today were that the tariff bill
could not be brought to a vote before
August j at the earliest. With Sen
ators on both sides prepared to make
a determined fight on the bonus, it is
figured that it will take from
month to six weeks to put that mea-
sure through.
Some senators, favorable to the bo-
nus, fear a filibusted if the bill goes
over until after action on the tariff.
This is understood to be one of the
elements in their determination to
put the senate on record on the ques-
ton as TO further delay.
Under the resolution adopted by
the majority conference, the bonus
would be made the unfinished busi-
ness of the senate Immediately after
final action on the tariff and it would
be kept continually before the body,
except when temporarily laid aside
for matters of immediate exigency."
There was sharp controversy in
the conference over the language of
the resolution which a number of
senators construed as binding them
to vote for the bonus. Senator
Lodge, Of Massachusetts was said to
have assured senators that this was
not the case Those voting against
the resolution are counted as op-
ponents of the bonus.

Take 18th Place
If Size Reduced

WASHINGTON, June 19-The in
tention of house and senate confer
ees on the army appropriation bin
TO fix the enlisted strength of the
army at an average of $4,000 men
during the next fiscal year will mean
that for that year the United States
will stand seventeenth in the
strength of its regular army among
the powers of the world instead of
tenth as at present. Statistics OBJ
tanned at the war department today
show that / s nations maintain more
than 125, 900 men III their peace time

The reduction from the average of
10000 for the current year will make
relatively small difference in the
comparative standing of the United
States when all organized military
forces. including such troops as the
National Guard and the organized
reserve are considered. The United

stands 25th in the list, only Austria.
