Washington President Harding In
formed congress Thursday he consid-
cred general sales tax the only feas-
ible method of raising funds for SOL
diers' bonus.
The text of the presidents letter fol-
lows.
Tn accordance with the promise
made to yourself and your associates
on the senate and house committees,
charged with the responsibility of for
mulating proposed bonus legislation, /
have carefully looked into the program
of taxation which has been suggested.
In addition thereto, / have made in
quiry into the feasibility of issuing
either short-time treasury notes or
longtime bonds to meet he financial
obligations which the proposed legis-
lation will impose. 1t is not possible
to command to you either of the plans
suggested.
1T is fully realized how great is
the difficulty which eonfronts the
congress in solving this difficult prob
lem. am aware the strong senti-
ment in congress is in favor of this adj
Justed compensation. / have spoken
approvingly myself, always with the
reservation that the bestowal shall be
made when 1t may be done without
such injury to the country as win null
my the benefits to the ex-service men
themselves which this expression of
gratitude is designed to bestow,
lnasmuch as the treasury is to be
called upon to meet more than $1,000

IL is not possible to recommend the
issue OF several hundred millions of adj
difional short time notes. Further ex.
cessiye borrowings would likely undo
all that has been accomplished in re-
adjusting interest rates and STABILIZE
ing the financial world, both vitality
essential to the resumption of indus
triai and commercial activities.
Granting that it is not fair IN nm
pose any proposed plan without Of
ferlng substitute, let me repeat that
believe the American people will ac-
