II II would be certain that the bonus
would be paid through some sort
Of issue of United States notes or
certificates. The Ways and Means
Committee of the House may call
them insurance certificates. Some
Senators may prefer outright
Treasury certificates. Other people
may want TO take the British bonds
which the British will presently be
giving us and sell the bonds to the
public and thus raise the money,
but this method comes down again
TO the use of the credit of the United
states because the British bonds be.

would have the guarantee Of the
American Government on them.
Therefore, whichever way the
think Is looked at. 1t comes down
TO the use of American Government
credit as the means of paying the
bonus II the sales tax is not adopt
ed. In other words, IL the sales
tax is not adopted. the whole idea
OF any immediate taxation will be
abandoned and the money will be
raised on credit through bonds or
notes OF certificates of some kind
giving immediate money to the sol.
diers and resting on the word of
the United States for their final re.
demption and retirement. That is
the prospect this morning, and Il
brings us back right to where we
started from at the beginning of
the whole bonus matter.
People were then inclined to pay
the bonus with the credit Of the
United States, and they are now
again once more inclined to pay IL
that way. But the thing is still
running on the circular track be.

origins of this treaty.
They will attempt to show that its
origins are not American. They
will relate the fact that the first
rumor ever heard of any such treaty
was in speeches made or interviews
given out by the prime ministers OF
Australia and New Zealand. They
will relate the fact that thereupon
in the middle or early part OF last
year certain highly important
Canadian statesmen, who did not
like the idea of treaty with Japan,
sent a messenger to Washington.
This messenger conferred with
Senators and expressed Canadian
opposition to the Anglo-Japanese al.
lance and to all plans for continu-
ing 1t or expanding 1t.
That was the prologue. 1t con.

clared mission or errand but who
in the course of his stay in Wash

agenda was made by the American
