CALLS BONUS DEMAND
A BREACH OF FAITH
War Risk Act Was Substitute,
Says CIarkson.

The Council of National Deferse fore
saw during the war the possibility Of a
wholesale raid on the national Treasury
BY cash bonus and pension hunters and
sponsored the war risk insurance act
FOR the specific purpose. among others,
Of forestalling exactly the thing the
bonus legislators in Washington now
are trying to impose upon the public.
That was pointed out yesterday by
Grosyenor Clarkson, formerly a director
of the Council Of National Defense who
protested against the proposed bonus
being authorized in view of the faith
with which the council entered into the
war risk insurance arrangement
THE war risk insurance act said
Mr.. Clarkson. was born in the labor
committee of the Council of National
Defense. ON August 3. 1917 Samuel

Mack, appeared before the council pre-
sided over BY Secretary Baker. Judge
Mack presented the draft Of the bill and
explained its provisions in detail The
council approved in principle the poll

BONUS MEN GET GILLETT'S
CONSENT TO JAMMING RULE

tors Lodge and Underwood, the ma
iority and minority leaders OF the SEN
ate, have expressed opposition to any
bonus bill that does not provide the
necessary revenue.
Senator Lodges Attitude.
In letter to one of his constituents
a day or two ago Senator Lodge said:
IF the country through its repre-
sentatives decides to pay a bonus 70
the soldiers Of TIE war or accepts any
of the alternatives which are offered
in the bill reported TO the Senate last
June provision must be made to care
for those obligations. That provision
should not be made by adding 10 the
national debt or by the free and gem
erous payment of money received
through taxation to meet the expendi-
ture which has been caused. The
President has recommended that the
money be raised by the imposition OF
a sales tax, which would be fully and
proportionately distributed and very
little felt by its incidence. 1t seems to
me that tie Presidents proposition IS
a sound one"
Senator Underwood has opposed the
bonus on general principles in several
speeches made by him.
