Two Weeks-No Delay

(By The United Press)

Washington March 3.-Bonus
leaders in the House today pre-
dicted that the non cash gratuity

comparatively little trouble. The

drafting legislation that will elm
mate all cash bonuses except for
men whose compensation is for
tltty dollars or less. 1t is estimat-

not see any reason for undue delay
thereafter although experience has
shown there may be a slip between
prediction and enactment.

lily of movement of products to mar
keta. More satisfactory marketing
and price conditions have included
tobacco and other products, as well
as grain, the board said, although
early reports from the Southwestern
grain states have not been altogeth-
er reassuring.
The better outlook has to some
extent been offset by labor and
other difficulties in the textile in
duGtry, resulting in reduced ac-
tivity, although fairly good condi-
tions in the New England shoe and
leather industry were reported.
Some increase in the activity of
steel mills was noted, but business
in the chemical industry is said to
have been given a severe setback
as a result of uncertainty as to the
future. Distinct increases in nom
ferrous production, especially copper,
and the reopening of mines long
shut down, was reported
Little modification in the volume
of unemployment was seen, although
continued Improvement in building
operations has increased the demand
for labor

Must Answer For WhiteWash.

This one year of Republican con
troll in Congress must answer to
the country for the "white-wash-
ing of Senator Newberry, of Mich
igan. The Republican record Of
this purchase of public office will
never be overlooked by the people
of America.
Not one single thing has been ac-
complished by the administration to
reduce prices and the cost of living.
A little while ago soldiers were be-
ing auctioned on the block in Bos-
ton-mind you-while the President
was publicly proclaiming that liy-
ing conditions were improving UNI
der Republican rule. Nothing has
been done to alleviate the condition
Of 100000 men out of work.
The Republican administration
claims credit for reducing army and
navy expenditures, but a mere scan
ming of the Congressional Record
shows that every single reduction
was forced upon the power in com
mand by u combination of Progress
i've Republicans and the united Dem
ocratic minority. The reactionary
leadership of the Republican party
opposed every single reduction.
No Revision CT Tariff.
There has been no revision OF the
tariff-one of the loudly boosted
promises of the Republican party.
One full year of administration and
two years of control in Congress
has resulted in absolutely no relief.
Just recently the agricultural
group, with the Democratic side
citing practically unanimously forced
through the Cooperative Market
ing bill to relieve farmers this
year. The Republican reactionaries
swung abroad this bill because they
knew it would pass without their
votes and they sought solely to
save their faces before the bar of
American public opinion. 1t was
never an Administration measure
and in committee hearing was
fought viciously by reactionary
Administration leaders.
Not one single bill has been passed
Of a healthful nature which did
not have the original support of
the Progressive Republicans and the
Democratic minority. On the whole
the legislation most necessary to
the welfare of the country was
either held up or killed in COM
mittee by the Republican leader
ship or passed at the insistence
Of the Democratic minority.
The outstanding achievement of
the one year of Republican admin
istration seems to have been the nam
ing of "Laddic Boy"

MAY PAY half SOLDIER BONUS
BY The Time NEXT ELECTION
ROLLS AROUND, IT is CLAIMED


BILL He thought the loan feature
would tend to expand credits to the
extent of half billion dollars ana
thus result in some increase in the
cost of living during the expansion
period.
At the Treasury Department, the
compromise was described by high
officials as "the lesser of two evils"
It was indicated that Secretary Mel
Ion still was opposed to the enact
ment of any bonus legislation at
this time, which would cause
serious drain on the treasury, but
officials said this plan would make
the following much less difficult
than would have been the case I'M
der the original cash plan.
Members of the subcommittee es-
timated roughly that the cash pay
ments proposed in the case of SER
vice men entitled to not more than
$50 would total $16,000,000. To
this would be added several mill
lions in administration costs and in
putting under way the other three
options in the bill, the vocational
training, home and farm aid and
land settlement. 1t was stated,
however. thai the total would be
only a drop in the bucket compared
to the $300,000,000 estimate for
cash payments as first proposed.
Governor Harding May Offer Scheme
Governor Harding OF the Federal
Reserve Board, was invited before
the subcommittee yesterday to dis
cuss the proposed loan provision and
he agreed to draft a form of this
plan which is expected to be ready
for the subcommittee today. Chair
man Fordney, in an informal state
ment, said it was the purpose so
to safeguard the certificates that
they could not fall into the hands
of pawn brokers or "Shylocks and
, to restrict the banks in the amount
of interest that should be charged.
There was suggestion that the
interest rate be fixed at a sum
equal to rediscount charged by re-
gional federal reserve banks, plus
two cents. Another detail is fix
ing of penalty against banks
charging more than the interest
rate fixed in the bill.
Where banks had loaned money
to the service men and the loan
with interest had not been paid
by Sept. 80, 1925, the banks could
make a demand on the treasury
for the amounts due them. The
government then would take over
the loan under conditions similar
to those fixed in the original bill
for federal loans to the soldiers.
A plea for prompt action in Con-
gress on a bonus bill was made IN
the House yesterday by Representa-
tive Galliyan, Democrat, MassSchu-
sets, who declared that certain fl
nancial interest in Boston had
blocked the passage of the bill
for months" He contended that
the House should be given an OPP
portunity to vote OH the proposition
without delay, and predicted that
the bill would sweep" through
both the House and Senate.

War.
The disarmament conference,
called by the Harding Admins
tration, has been an extraordinary
success. 1t has dealt with ques-
tions of the most difficult charac-
ter and on all of them has reached
agreements that will have most
beneficial results. This conference
was the greatest single step taken
to eliminate war in the history of
mankind.
Success Due to Genius
It's success is due to the genius-nnd
inspiration of those who directed
the Policy Of the United States
1t is a tribute to the leader
ship OF President Harding and to
the able men he selected to repre-
sent the United States in the con-
ference.
The Harding Administration one
year ago to-day was confronted not
merely with the necessity of re-
extravaganza, but of attempting to
cure an extravaganza plague that
permeated every Federal bureau and
department.. There was huge army
of unemployed Industry was para
lyzed.
These conditions were inherited
frotft-tite Wilson Administration
They are not corrected yet, but in
one year of effort the Harding
Administration has done much not
only to cure the country's financial
ailment but to prevent a recurrence
of the devastating disease.
From a constructive standpoint
the Administration has ended the
technical state of war with Ger
many. This act was essential to
the prosperity of the nation and
was long step toward bringing a
return to normally
Budget Act Next Passed.N
The budget act was next passed
by a Republican Congress. This
measure already has proved a sue
cess. Its adoption had healthy eff
feet on curbing extravaganza in
public office.
The farmers Emergency Tariff
act was also passed to provide the
first necessary relief for overbur-
dened agriculture. The Capper-Vol-
was passed only last month to give
agriculture further relief. Other
bills were enacted to help the
farmer
The soldiers were not forgotten,
even though bonus was impossible
under existing unstable financial
conditions. The Veterans Bureau
was formed, consolidating all Gov
eminent agencies for the relief of
soldiers. Right now Congress is
enacting new appropriations for car
rying on the important work.
The Maternity bill, one of the
planks in the Republican platform
a year ago, was enacted by the
Republican Congress. 1t was an
an Administration bill and provided
for the care of the mothers and
babies.
Packers Bill Ended Controversy"
The Packers bill, regulating COM
merce in livestock and dairy pro-
ducts, also passed 1t ended long
and violent controversy over abuses
complained of by farm producers.
For the shipping interests the
Republican Senate passed an act
permitting American vessels to pass
through the Panama Canal free of
tolls
These are but few of the most
important bills. There are numerous
measures of constructive nature
which have given benefits on every
side. No one year of party admins
tration in history can be success
lully pointed to as having enacted
more constructive legislation than
the first year of Harding rule.
