London, February 16.--The Bank Of

The discount rate of the Bank of
England has been five per cent since
November 3 last when it was reduced
from the five and one half per cent
rate established on the preceding Ju-
ly 81 Today's action was forecast in a
London dispatch last night in which
it was pointed out that the treasury
had suspended temporarily it's issue
of five per cent treasury bonds.
The highest rate We reached in Aug
ust 1914 after the outbreak of the
World war, when it was set at ten
per cent. which had only been equal
led on two previous occasions, those
OF the paics of 1857 and 1866. Since
then the rate has fuctuated, but the
flgure set today is the lowest since
the outbreak of the war.
The reduction of the bank rate was
primarily made possible by the recent
large reduction in the governments

To Congress Today
SUCH LEVY IS URGED
Hsrding's Views Leaves SitGa-
tion More Complicated
Than Ever
{ Associated Press Dispatch.

Washington, o. c., February 16.
President Harding informed
congress today he considered
general sales tax the only feasible
method of raising funds for SCI
diers' bonus.
Adoption by the senate OF the
resolution of Senator Hitchcock,
democrat, Nebraska, asking Pres
ident Harding for additional in
formation about the four power
treaty, was virtually agreed to to-
day after two hour discussion
in the foreign relations committee.
The executive, in a letter ad-
dressed to Chairman Fordney Of
the house ways and means COM
mittee. and Chairman McCumber
of the senate finance committee,
suggested that unless congress
saw fit to enact a sales tax, pas
sage of bonus legislation should be
temporarily postponed.
al believe" the president wrote,
''the American people will accept
the levy of a general sales tax to
meet the proposed bonus pay
ments and we should contribute
thereby no added difficulties to
the problems OF readjustment.
II congress will not adopt such a
plan, il would be wise to let the
legislation over until there is
situation which will justify the
large outlay.
The presidents letter was re-
garded generally at the capitol as
leaving the bonus situation even,
ri @1
Senate and house sub committees
were to meet late in the Iday to
receive and consider the white
house communication.
When the sales tax was discus
sed in the sub committee last
week. il was understood that SEN
ators were Informed that less than
100 republican votes in the house
could be mustered for a sales tax,
as a method Of financing the ad-
iusted compensation. Such a tax
had been considered by house
leaders as a possibility. but vir-
tualIy had been discarded.
Washington, February 16.-En-
actment of a sales tax as the only
practicable means of raising mon
ey for soldier bonus was stated
to be the view of President Hard
ing by Representative Longworth
Of Ohio, a republican member of
the house ways and means COM
mittee, after call today at the
White House. The Ohio repre-
sentative did not say whether that
view would be set forth by the
president in his letter to members
Of the finance committee of con-
qress.
Such an executive view also was
reflected by Senator FreIinghuysen
republican, New Jersey: who call
ed at the White House while the
presidents letter was in course of
preparation.
Washington o. c., February rs.
The resolution asking President
Harding for full Information re-
garding the negotiations of the
four power Pacific treaty, was
adopted by the senate today after

ference were discussed generally
