DEMOCRATS ATTACK
APPOINTMENTS To
FUNDING MISSION
[RepubIIcan a. ?. Leassd wIrsl

WASHINGTON. Feb. 22-Presi-
dent Hardings appointment of four
Republicans and no Democrats to
the allied debt funding commission.
was attacked by the Democrats and
defended by the Republicans today in
a lively tilt IN the senate. Earlier in
the senate finance committee had re-
ported favorably the four nomina-
tions OF Secretaries Hughes. Hoover,
Senator Smoot, Republican of Utah,
and representative Burton, Republi-
can OF Ohio.
"Keen disappointment over the
fact that no Democrats were chosen
for the commission was expressed by
Senator Simmons OF North Carolina,
ranking Democrat and former chair
man of the senate finance commit
tee.
Senators Simmons. Walsh and Will
liams said they had no personal fault
to find with the four appointees. Mr..
Simmons said that all were liable,
upright. experienced and competent" T"
but added that he at least one DEM
ocrat should have been made on the
commission.
Realizing that there had been a
sharp conflict" over the allied debt
commission bill. Senator Simmons
said that under the circumstances,
and in view Of the general interest
OF all of the people In these loans,
it does. seem that propriety calls for
the opposition party to have at least
one representatives"
Senator Lodge, declaring that the
country's finances were in charge of
Secretary Mellon. who by the provis-
ions of the act. as Secretary of the
treasury, will be ex-officio chairman
OF the debt commission. argued that
the Republicans would be responsible
for any action taken and suggested
that their authority should accom-
pany the responsibility. He also said
that when former President Wilson
retired all members of the federal
reserve board were Democrats. Sem
ator EIflin, however. took exception
to this statement, saying he under
stood that there always had been al
least one Republican member on the
board.
Former President Wilson's letter
OF 1918 asking election Of a Demo-
cratic congress was recalled by Sem
ator Heflin, who said that the Re-
publicans then said "a great deal
about Wilson wanting to shut out the
Republicans"
"And now you amt going to let
even one Democrat in to see what's
going on" he said, addressing his
remarks to the Republicans. "You
Democrats" he added, turning to
that side Of the chamber. ARE good
enough to put UP the coin of the
realm, good enough to pay taxes to
help win the great World war. but
you're not good enough to sit in the
council chamber"
Senator Heflin said that IL Mr..
Wilson had acted as President Hard
ing had regarding the debt commits
sion, Senator Lodge and other Re-
publicang would be indignant and
would "be bobbing up and down like
one OF those cuckoo clocks

bonus legislation without any proyi-
sion for raising the funds.
If the proposed sales tax provision
was beaten in the house. he added,
the bill then would simply be charge
against the treasury. 1t was his
opinion that If sales tax were re-
ported. the house would be given an
opportunity to vote separately on that
tax.
A separate vote has been demanded
by opponents of a sales tax who con-
tinued today to tighten their lines for
the fight which now is regarded on all
sides as almost certain. Opponents
said that. If necessary, there would
be a fight all along the line from the
ways and means committee to the
party conference then to the rules
conmittee and finally to the house.
They did not think the fight would
last that long but continued to circu-
late petitions among house members.

Mrs. Robertson's bail later was in
