MELLON HOWL
NOT TO HALT
BONUS PLANS
Republicans Declare
They VIII Ignore
Protest.
SPEED IS SLOGAN
Caucus Is Ordered
to Bring Real
Action.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.--Despite
the renewed opposition of Secretary
Mellon to a soldier bonus" it was
magreed at a Joint meeting of the Re
publican steering committees of the
Senate and House to push ahead the
Republican plan for adjusted com
pensatiOn for former service men
with all possible speed.
Republican leaders who took part IN
the meeting indicated that the objec-
tons raised by Mellon to the utilization
Of either principal or interest Of the
foreign debt to finance a soldier 81 Onus'
would be Ignored.
1t was also decided the House Ways
and Means Committee should undertake
at once the task of writing a new sol
der bonus" bill to be passed first by
the House and subsequently by the Sen
ate in accordulrce with the constltu-
tionaI provision that financial legisla-
ton must originate with the lower
chamber.
PARTY CAUCUS
IS CALLED.
a caucus OF the Republican member
ship Of the House is to be held at which
party action on the soldier bonus" is
planned, and at which an overwhelming
majority Of the House Repul licans is
expected to swing behind the Republican
''bonus" plan.
MELONS renewed opposition to soldier
"bonus" did not surprise Republican
leaders committed to one. Mellon re-
peatedly has opposed a soldier bonus
on the grounds the country cannot AFFORD
one, and that II one were undertaken II
would result in disastrous financial CON
sequences.
But It proved disappearing to the Re-
ApubLcan leaders, when they are seeking
BIO push legislation coupling the funding
of the foreign debt with a soldier
bonus" to have the Secretary Of the
Treasury warn them sharply no indirec,
means OF financing q soldier bonus Dy
using either principal or interest Of the
foreign debt could make It any less an
expense than will have to be borne IN
the long run by the taxpayer
They found his blunt declaration that
such means would jeopardize the refund
ing Of Liberty Bonds, Victory Notes,
certificates Of Indebtedness and other out
standing obligations Of the Government,
running into billions, equally embarras-
sing despite the knowledge they had pre-
T1OuSly JLaL ne was prepared AGAIN TO
stand IN the way Of the Republican
pledge for adjusted compensation for eI-
service men.
REPUBLICANS
WONT GIVE UP.
They were insistent, however, a way
must be found for carrying out that
pledge, despite the serious obstacles sud
denly coujured by Mellon, and, as the
Republican Steering Committee members
bent themselves TO the task Of working
out legislative program on which the
Senate and House might agree, the
thought Of this years congressional
elections, and Of the effect Of a Repub
lican failure to put through a soldier
"bonus" would have upon them, was up
permost in the minds not only Of the
party whips" but Of the Republican
rank and file Of both chambers.

CARDINAL CANNOT
CONCEAL DISGUST.

"I cannot hide my DISCUS" said this
cardinal In America the way Is pre-
pared for presidential election with
newspaper campaigns backed up with
funds Of millions of dollars. That
should never happen in the election OF
Pope"
Tho Prince Of Piedmont, heir TO the
italian throne, accompanied by Admiral
BonaIdi, visited st. Peters Cathedral and
knelt before the catafalque containing the
body of the late Pope. After paying
homage they departed for the QuirinaI.
This was accepted as further evidence
complete reconciliation between the
Vatican and the Italian state is at hand.
It is believed if Cardinal Maffi, Arch
bishop Of Pisa, is chosen Pope, the final
ceremonies restoring the Old-time rela-
lions will have been effected before the
end Of 1922. Cardinal Mahi is well known
to King Victor Emmanuel, having acted
as confidential messenger for the Vatican
