general desire for sweets may be graft
fed.

Co. Is not limited. especially to the in
mates of the we'll known institutions

of candy.

Washington, April i9.--Govern-
ment finances are in the worst jam
they have been in since the WAT
Secretary Mellon estimates the to-
tai deficit for the fiscal year be-
ginning July next at nearly hall
billion dollars. Congress Is on the
verge Of passing a soldier compen-
sation bill as well as other meas
ures for rivers and harbors. No
body knows how much higher the
deficit may 90 though officials es-
innate that il the soldier bonus bill
should become law the amount of
the deficit may reach a billion dol
lars.
President Harding is deeply con-
cerned over the situation. He may
read special message 20 Congress
in an effort not only TO secure
greater economy on existing appro-
priation bills but TO head off the
soldier bonus. The action of the
Senate Republican caucus IN voting
to have a soldier bonus bill passed
at this session precipitates the is
sue. No specific bill was advo-
Gated by the caucus and the reso-
luton can be interpreted If the Re
publicans choose, as vote in favor
Of a bonus bin with other forms of
compensation beside cash or Dor
rowing such as land grants, voca-
tional aid, etc
Vigorous Fight Looms
The group in the Senate which
favors the House bill will not let
that be the Interpretation without
vigorous fight. Before the eli
max comes, however, several deyel-
opments may be looked for, among
them a reiteration of the Govern
ment's financial situation in an adj
dress to the Senate by the Presi-
dent. Harding knows that if the
House bill were to come to vote
today it would be passed by an

bonus bill or see u passed BY q
two-thfda vote over his veto.
Harding has not made public the
strategy he will adopt. One point
however, Is clear The plan to SIDE
track the tariff and take up the
bonus issue doesn't have his APP

should be redeemed before anything

much delay. The tariff problem ~
complicated on every side. u looks
like a prolonged debate. The sup
porters of the bonus are impatient.
The first skirmish will come over
giving the bonus bill right Of way
over the tariff. Defeated In that,
the supporters of the bonus will
merely renew their fight when the
tariff is out of the way. The state.
ment of the Governments fiscal
situation Is counted upon mean
while to prevent precipitate action.

Under these circumstances, Hard
ings only chance to prevent the

other measure which further drains
the treasury lies in a message set
ting forth the financial situation
explicitly. II is feared this may IN
lure the chances Of the Republican
majority in the coming elections be-
cause Harding will have To state
publicly that the administration
faces half billion dollar deficit
and the economy program started
out so auspiciously with Director
Dawes has failed to balance the
budget for 1928.
Mellon, however, has already as
closed the painful facts so that from
a political viewpoint, Harding will
not be able to erase the impress
sions thus far made by the an
nouncement of half billion dol
lars deficit. Unless Harding Is able
to exercise further control over his
party in the Senate, the chances
are the deficit, for 1928, will grow
larger. So the executive IS COM
PEELED by circumstances to call a
halt toward further expenditure.
May Be Turning Point
In many respects the fight that
is in prospect looks as If 1t Will
bring the turning point in the Hard
ing administration. The President
has not given vent to his feelings
over the continued indifference of
Congress to his expressed wishes.
He aud his cabinet had to fight
hard to overthrow a naval commit
tees recommendation in the House
last week and the executive is be-
ing encouraged to use his influence
even further to secure Congresslon-
al acquiescence in his viewpoint.
Curiously enough most members
of Congress expect Harding TO sur
render to them on the bonus issue
and they insist that deficit or no
deficit, he will come to sign the

Tradition of Sea.

A tradition as old as navigation was
smashed when Mrs. Solveg Bull, a

took passage on the Bergensfjord of the
Norwegian-America, Line. commanded
by her husband. Capt. Ole Bull. The
ship docked yesterday at the foot OF
Thirtieth street, Brooklyn, and Mrs. Bml
told the story Of her difficulty In COM
batting the old idea that the captain $
wife should not travel on his ship.
Mrs Bull said that for years she had
been separated from her husband on al
most every holiday and anniversary.
Learning that the Bergensfjord was to
sail just before Christmas and lay up at
New York for six weeks during the holi-
days, Mrs. Bull resolved TO accompany
the captain. The company refused per-
mission and she went to an agent and
purchased a first class cabin. After
much discussion the officials Of the line
allowed the arrangement to stand.
Although she had made four round
trips on the Atlantic, Mrs Bull had
never before been in the company OF her
husband. The couple formerly lived at
