By J. BART CAMPBELL.
international News Service.

The first direct step toward
financing the soldiers bonus through
the sale. in this country of $1,000
100000 worth of British debt bonds
were taken today when Senator
Cabot Lodge, the Republican leeder
Of the Senate. issued a call for n
conference of the Senate's entire
Republican membership.
Bonus In 1922" Slogan.
y The conference Of the sixty Re-
publican members will be held to-
morrow, when Senators Lodge and
Curtis (Rep) of Kansas, the Repub-
lican whip" will explain the Re
publican Senatorial plan for under
writing the British bonds and then
offering them to the public as gilt
edge securities that will afford a
means of meeting the adjusted COM
pensation of former American
soldiers. -. .u...
"A soldier bonus paid in 1922" is
the slogan of Republican leaders who
have set themselves the task Of re-
deeming the Administration pledge
toward former soldiers when, the
bonus bill was temporarily shelved
last summer.
AT that time 1t was declared that
a bonus bill would be passed as soon
as the financial situation of the
country warranted. The pending
passage of the foreign debt funding
bill is held to bring about the situa-
ton that will make the bonus pos
sible. 49,.
At the conference tomorrow the
Republican leaders are expected to
meet the objections that have been
raised toward a payment of the sol.
diers' bonus from the sale of foreign
debt bond, and to solidify Republican
lines so that it will be possible to put
the bonus bill through Congress at
top speed. en-.
-. Bond Value Assured. ... .
The Republican leaders also expect
to point out that the value of the
British bonds, as underwritten, will
be of the highest gilt-edge quality,
and that the fact that they are guar
anteed by the United States Govern.
ment will prove an added incentive
for their purchase by the general
public. ... ..- .....,-..'
The conference will probably result
In the framing of an amendment to the
foreign debt funding bill now before
the Senate, so that the proposed Brit
ish bond sale can be accomplished.
Administration leaders realize that
the main task they face in carrying out
their program Is to win united Sen.
ate support. That gained, they expect
little trouble in putting the program
through Congress.
