w THAT the veterans Of the

Breaking Up Of the jam.

This sudden breaking up OF the jam
which had held the treaties in com
mittee was brought about with a closer
approach to unanimity than had been
expected. Three Democrats uneXpeci :
edly absented themselves without ex-
plantations. They were Senator's Hitch
cock, Swanson and Pittman. Senator
Hitchcock is maroond by the snow
storm in Nebraska. The absence of
Senators Pittman and Swanson. who
were expected TO vote against the

have been occasioned unavoidable.
II is understood however. the word had
gone out that further Democratic op-
position to the treaty in the committee
would be a tactical mistake and would
reflect seriously upon Democratic
chances Of success in the approaching
Congressional elections.
While the reservationists claim a VIC
tory in attaching the new Brandesee
from the committee it is clear the ef-
fort to keep the compacts intermins bly,
in committee through the consideration
of nullifying reservations has COM
pletely failed. While the President be
lieves the reservation Is unnecessary,

The Brandegec Reservation.

The reservation adopted by the COM
rnittee to-day. known as the new
Brandegee reservation, reads:
The United States understands
that under the statement in the pre-
amblc. or under the terms Of this
treaty. there is no commitment 10
armed force. no alliance. no obliga-
ton TO join in any defense.
In view of the apparent attitude OF
the committee. Senator johnson tCal)
did not bring up the reservation which
ne had originally offered. calling in
question the validity of the mandate OF
Great Britain and Japan "to the islands
north and south of the equator" He
confined himself 10 an effort TO prove
adoption OF the original Brandegee res
ervation.
The reasons actuating the members
Of the committee in voting as they
did are confusing. The variety o!
motives suggests possible differences

The most important development

to-day indicates that the promoters
of the bonus scheme are to try to

nitely established, was that Com
mander MacNider of the American
Legion not only committed breach
in good manners but grossly misrep-
resented many important facts re-
garding that organization in his ar
rogant telegram to President Har-
ding.
The bonus promoters, forced on the
defensive by the overwhelming ad
verse sentiment Of the country, are
returning to the fray with y grim
determination to win at any cost and
by any methods. They do not ap.

Barren of Ideas.

But all the bonus supporters ap.
pear to be as barren of ideas as to
where the money to pay the bill is to
come from as Chairman Fordney of
the House Ways and Means Commit
tee confessed himself this afternoon.
The fact is that the Ways and Means
Committee boss practically has given
up hope of finding a buried treas
ure or something like that, although
he persisted in his statement that a
bonus bill will be framed and passed
by the House of Representatives.
The growing opposition to the raid
is evidenced in the Senate, where
more than thirty-four members are
lined up against the bonus-enough
to prevent the repassage Of a raid
bill over the Presidential veto. But
that is something Mr.. Fordney and
the more ardent bonus advocates in
the lower house are not worrying
about. Their only concern is to prove
to the ablebodied ex-service men who
have threatened them with politica,
reprisals that they have delivered
the goods" according to campaign
promises.
Mr.. Fordney said this afternoon
that none of the overnight delibera-
tions had produced a source of revenue
to finance the bonus bill. He ex-
pressed the opinion that the Ways and
Means Committee will decide TO frame
bill for the House to pass without
designating specifically any source Of
revenue to provide the money.
May Pass Task to Mellon.
He indicated that in the absence OF
anything specific the bill would au-
thorize pr direct the Secretary of the
Treasury 20 issue and sell a sufficient
