BONUS PROlLEM
NOT YH SOLVED

Washington, Feb. 2 The question
of financing the solders' bonus was
referred back today q the special tax
subcommittee by the majority mem
bers Of the house W)|ys and means
committee and 1t wasIannounced that
the subcommittee w3ald attack the
problem again tomorlw.
The trend Of though in cloak room
and corridors was thaEsome sort of q
manufacturers or wholesalers tax
plan would be draftec&in accord with
president Hardings' nggestion that
the financing be done w sales tax.
In an effort to BLOCK the sales tax
within the committee} % Republican
opponents of this kindsoc levy met and
framed petitions whi6h were freely
circulated and signed before the house
adjourned for the daS. Representa-
tive Dickinson Of Iow8 who called the
meeting, said it was $he hope to OBJ
tain sufficient Signatures to convince
the majority committee members that
it would be impossible to put sales
tax provision throughout the house.
The petition declares in favor of
adjusted compensatiod but in opposi-
tion to the financing Of it by sales
or manufacturers tax, and sets forth
that it's signers "will oppose any rule
for the adjusted compensation that
does not permit separate vote on
any sales or manufacturers tax pro-
vision therein"
While the ways andimeans commit
tee was discussing the bonus question
it was made known Fat the. White
House that President Harding had re-
ceived many communications opposing
enactment Of the bonus legislation for
the present. At the ssame time the
American Legion's Legislative commit
tee made public telegram from Han
ford MacNider, the kgion's national
commander, opposing any frther de-
lay in the bouus Legislation.
1t was said that the communications
reaching Mr.. Harding in opposition to
immediate enactment of the bonus
outnumbered those favoring action at
this time, but it was added that many
of those opposing the bill showed a
similarity. $ ~
Much of the infosn bonps discus

sales tax provision could be voted out
of the ways and means committee
Representative Garner of Texas, the
rank:<g Democrat on the committee
said the eight minority members
would vote solidly against such tax
On this basis five Republican votes
would defeat the proposal and it wa:
understood that present estimate:
We're that four of the II Republicans
would be against with two others
probably doubtful.
Representative Dickinson reiterated
that if the agricultural bloc was un
successful in its effort to block The
sales tax in committee it would tax,
determined stand in the Republican
conference which is to be called tt
consider the bill.
If the committee fails to report ou
sales tax it seemed to be the some
what general opinion that the house
would ge bill without any specific
provision for financing the ADJUSTED

TREATY MINUTES
WERE NOT KEPT

Washington, Feb. 20. - President
Harding informed the senate today
he could not comply with its request
for records of the four power Pa
cific treaty because no such records
ever existed and because he consid-
cred it incompatible with public inter-
est to reveal "informal and conf
Dental conversations"
The presidents five sentence reply
to the resolution of inquiry sent to
the White House last week was ac-
cepted by those in charge of the
treaty at the capitol as closing the
incident, although at the same time it
aroused increased dissatisfaction
smong senators who instigated the
move for complete information. A
proposal to call Secretary Hughes be-
fore the foreign relations committee
was revived momentarily, but without
any immediate prospect of success.
Meantime the committee took it's
first formal action on any of the in
ternational agreements negotiated
during the arms conference by report
ing favorably the Japanese-American
treaty by which the United States is
accorded cable and wireless rights
on the Pacific island of Yap. The
committee leaders later made known
their purpose to press the treaty to-
ward a vote on the senate floor, in
''"Nting that debate on it might be-
g. tomorrow.
On the zap treaty the committee
divided ten to one, Senator Pittman
(Democrat) of Nevada alone voting
in the negative because he felt that
insufficient committee consideration
had been given to the treaty. Several
ether senator's, both Democrats and
Republican, declared during the two
hour committee sessions that they also
reserved the right to debate further
some features of the past on the SEN
ate floor.
Mr.. Harding's reply to the four
power treaty resolution, which. had
been introduced by Senator Hitchcock
of Nebraska, senior Democratic men,
ber of the committee, was as follows:
Responsive to senate resolution No.
137, asking for records, minutes, argu-
ments, debates, conversations, etc., re-
.lating to the socalled four power
A-teeaty, I have to advise that It Ii inn
possible to comply with the senate's
request. Many Of the things asked
for in the resolution it is literally
impossible to furnish, because there
were many conversations and discus
sions quite outside the conference, yet
vital to it's success. Naturally these
are without record.
~ do not believe it to be compatible
with public interests or consistent
with the amenities Of international
negotiations to attempt to reveal in
formal and confidential conversations
or discussions of which no record was
kept, or to submit tentative sugges-
tions or informal proposals without
which the arrival at desirable inter-
national understandings would be rem
dered unlikely if not impossible.
"While I am unable to transmit the
information requested, l do, however,
take this opportunity to say most
emphatically that there were no con-
cealed undertakings and no secret ex-
changes of notes and there are no
commitments whatever, except as ap-
pear in the foru power treaty itself
and the supplementary agreement,
which are now in the hands of the
senate"

This was not the only utterance of
religious import that fell from the lips
Of Pasteur. His early letters, those
that were written in the period when
his fame and reputation were increas-
ing with the passing days. are full of
references to God and Gods Provi-
dence. He admonished his sisters, IF
your resolution is firm, your task, be
it what it may, is already begun; you
have but to walk forward, 1T will
achieve itself. Ii perchance you

He recommends certain books TO

In the long and bitter discussions that
followed upon Pasteur,s disproof of
spontaneous generations, discussions
which went far beyond the limits of
merely scientific interchange of
views. we find constant illusions to
his belief in the Infinite, in God. The
belief in the Infinite seems to have
been one of his most familiar
thoughts. Il see everywhere the in
evitable expression of the Infinite In

THE POPt's BELIEF IN THE
POWER OF MORAL FORCE

Under the title The Pope Dares To
Do It. The New York Times" of De-
cember 6. printed the following as its
leading editorial:
Pope Plus has sent to the Near
Eastern Conference at Lausanne a
solemn protest concerning the deadly
peril in which it is proposed to leave
the Armenian and other Christian min
critics throughout the Turkish empire.
His Holiness seems to be unaware Of
the immutable principle that you can
not protest against an act of gross in
humanity unless you are prepared to
prevent it by force Is it to be inn
agined that the Turks will stand in
fear of the Swiss Guards at the Vati-
CAM The Holy See is without any
temporal power at all. Yet the Pope
does not hesitate to make his indig-
nant voice heard at Lausanne and
throughout Christendom as confident
" as il he had fleets and armies at his
command. This strange Pontiff seems
to believe that there is still in the
world such a thing of moral force.
They would tell him his error if he APP
