Soviet Concessions in I'LL

II NJ. Tchitcherin is quoted by

spondent as insisting that credits
from foreign Governments are alb
solutely necessary if Russia is to
shoulder the burden of debt the
Allies wish TO impose on her. Con-
cessions Russia will offer to for

her lands and other sources of
natural wealth from which profits
were Immediately available. The
Soviet's share of the profits accru-
ing from the concessions and leases
on state land SHOULD be set aside
as a guarantee for interest and

dangered by the penetration of for

piled: mo, for in Russia all power
is vested directly in the hands OF
the workers and peasants. We are

reported that invitations to central
banks will be circulated in a few days.
The Evening Star to-day quotes Sir
Robert S. Horne, Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer, as saying the Federal Reserve
banks of the United States will be in

Genoa has greatly stimulated financial
circles, which expect now they will be

to be greatly chagrined over the ex-
clusion of the Representatives of their
party from the deliberations of the FL
nance Committee. Their Republican
colleagues assume that the majority
of Democratic Senators are quite as
eager to win the support of the mill
tary organizations supporting the
bonus as are Republicans. They do
not believe the Democrats will raise
any row over a. discrimination which
in ordinary circumstances would pro-
woke bitter controversy.
Ignoring the policy of sthe Demo
cratic party during the war tfe greater
number of Democratic Senators ap-
pear to think they are gong to bene-
fit politically on equal terms with their
Republican associates. That this is
not the Republican view however, Is
established by the statement of a Re-
publican member of the Finance Com
mittee wLo is assisting the American
Legion to get what 1t wants-which is
cash.
"As long as we Republicans are
going to put through this legislation
he said. 1--WE might as well get all We
can out of it for the party. If we pass
the bill and the President vetoes it Tie
ex-service men will have no fault to
find with US, because we will be on
record as giving to them everything
they want and they will give us their
votes in return"
Senator's of both parties who are
opposed to the bonus on moral, pa
triotic and economic grounds as wei,
as great many in the neutral group
who will follow the President appre-
ciate the futility of interposing objec-
tions at this time Many of them have
expressed their Endorsement of the
declaration of Senator Borah to an
American Legion post in Idaho which
threatened him with political punish
ment for opposing the bonus. The
Senator said:
IF l SHOULD vote for it (the bonus
bilD 1t would be a simple matter of
barter in which / would use the peo-
pies money to buy somebody's vote"
Opinion That VIII BE Expressed.
Tkat is the opinion that many
Senators will express during the de-
Date on the Dill.
Senator King (Dem., Utah) took
fling at the bonus in a speech to-day
attacking the tariff bill. He said in
an effort to meet the demands Of the
American Legion there now seems to
be a determined effort to anticipate
the payment of the foreign bonds
owing this Government by having this
Government underwrite them.
He declared such a plan is extremely
poor financing and he argued that
many of the nations would not be able
to meet their obligations to this Gov
ernment for so to 100 years. yet their
bonds will be used as an excuse for
the issuance Of bonds by this coun-
try
There will be such an orgy OF
waste and extravaganza when these
bonds are refunded" said Senator
King, "as this nation never has known.
In my judgment the bonds will be
frittered away so that the bonded in
debtedness of this nation will be $34,-
600, 100000 to $4,000, 100000 instead
of $4,000. 100000 as now. II the Re-
publicans are wise they will lock the
bonds up in a strong box and lold
them until the coupons mature and

French, complicates the danger, as the
evidence is clear that Germany intends

the Russian aviation service under 4

eventually sweeping through Poland
and forming solid Russo-German
bloc.
