mittee. told the United Press today.
president Harding is in favor OF
the plan and has personally9com-
mended II to the committee"
The first step in the bonus pro-
gram will be the enactment OF the
foreign debt refunding bill already
passed by the House and shortly to
be taken up in the Senate. on the
heels of the debt bills passage, the
House will bring out the bonus
measure, pass it in short order and
send it to the Senate.
The bonus bill as now planned
will carry no means of raising rev.
enue, merely stating that payments
are to be made from the foreign
debt.
Under this plan. administration
leaders doubt If payments Of the
bonus can be started before late
next year. This doubt rises from
the question of how long the com
mission created by the foreign debt
refunding bill will need to whip the
debt into shape so that money will
start coming in. To pay the bonus
the commission would collect i'm
mediately as much Of the debt in
terests amounting to about two bill
lion dollars, as the debtor nations
were able TO pay, and the rest of
the bonus money would be raised
through the sale Of debt bonds.
A powerful attempt will be made
in both branches Of Congress to
have the bonus money raised by a
sales tax. Advocates of this tax con-
tend that hooking the bonus up with
the foreign debt puts the bonus on
an extremely uncertain basis and
will not guarantee payments.
