Washington, Sept. lS.-Presidenl
Harding will veto the soldiers com
pensatiou bill tomorrow.
He will send his message OF dtsap
proyal 10 the house soon after 1t con
venes. He has had all the MAKER Id
on which 70 base his veto in hand 1oi
more than u month. k
This WAS the word passed arpttnu
among senators. The information c,tlne
directly from statesmen who were al
the White House and obtained thelf
knowledge from the president i'll per-
son. They accepted the determination
us final and conclusive. In addition,
word CAME from the president to those
senators who oppose the present pay
ment of a bonus TO have ali their
available strength on the floor tonor-
row, in the event that an effort Is
made to enact the legislation despite
the presidential disapprOval. As ii
consequence Of this suggestion all
opposition Senators were urged 10 be
in their seats tomorrow.
1t is maintained with the utmost
rositiyeness by those leading the anti
bonus faction that the veto CT tic
president will be sustained. The Only
IoSsible menace is abSenteeisn. In.s
lreyais on both sides. Preca utiUnS
are being taken against ali contin-
sencieS, and the count of noses now
indicates sufficient strength to pre-
,euT overriding of the veto.

Statements We're m;.de that the pres
'itlent is Icing urged To pocket veTo lie,
bonus bill, if he decided TO disapprore'
it. In this way he would avoid max
ing any utteranceS that might ne
harmful in the coming campaign. II
was said the president would refuse
10 follow this advice.
IN fact, the veto message OF Iiis
president has been virtually completed
for several days. 1t is based on da:si
supplied by Secretary Mellon. 1t de
monstfates that the condition Of the
treasury and present sources of raising
revenue do not justify such an eXpen-
diture as is contemplated By the bo
nus legislation.
Officials of the American Legion re-
manned firm in the belief that the
president will approve the bonus bill.
Debate On the presidential veto is
not expected in either branch of CON
gress. Discussion of such communica-
lions has not been customary in re-
cent years. The practice has been 10
submit the presidents veto and i'm
mediately vote on sustaining it. In
1914, President Pro TEN. Gallinger of
the senate ruled that veto messages
are omen TO debate
