NECESSARYTO START THE BONUS PAYMENT

Washington, Jan. 26-Ccngressional
leaders preparing to carry out the ad-
ministration's plan to put through a
soldiers bonus bill were analyzing to-
day the statement of the treasury's
reasons for continued opposition to
the bonus as transmitted in letter
from Secretary Mellon to Chairman
Fordney of the house ways and means
committee. Writing to Mr.. Fordney
late yesterday in response to re-
quest for an expression of the depart
ment's views Secretary Mellon declar-
ed that any attempt to provide for a
bonus through use of the principal
and interest of the foreign debt to this
country would be futile as we'll as
unwise," and that an attempt to do so
through new government borrowings
would be dangerous in the extreme"
If there is to be a bonus, however,
the secretary said, "it must be pro-
vided for through taxation, and
through taxation in addition to the
taxes imposed by existing law"

and expenditures for the fiscal years

Hiding, Johnson Says

J. J. Hastings, wanted on charge
/ of embezzlement in connection with
the affairs of the Scandinavian-Amer-

cellent opportunity by the Seattle po-
lice to go into hiding, which he did,
according to additional. information
}reeeived by Attorney General John-
son from the office of the states at
I tOrney Of Cass county.
Seattle police had been instructed
to locate Hastings, if they could, the
same instructions having been sent to
four coast cities, but not to- arrest
him urtil they had a warrant. The
police found Hastings, took him into
custody and then allowed him to go
on his personal recognizance on prom
ice TO appear Monday morning. The
warrant had been telegraphed from
the office of the states attorney of
Cass county and, according to a
check-up, was in the hands of the
Seattle police at 1885 o'clock Saturday
night, according to information reach
ing Mr.. Johnson.
A search is being instituted for
Hastings, and Attorney General John
son declared today that every effort
would be made to apprehend him. He
declared, the Seattle police disobeyed
instructions and bungled the job of
arresting him.

no allowance for such additional ex-
penditure as would be involved in a
soldiers bonus for the first two
years. On the nest conservative esti-
mates, he said, this would probably
be not less than $850,00O,0OO.
Assurance that the permanent tar
iff bill will be reported to the senate
early in February and passed before
the close of the present session was
given Republican leaders in the house
by the senate at conference between

Agreement was reached at the con-
ference that the proposed soldier

house. House leaders said mea sure
would be drafted at once by the ways

reported to the house in two weeks.
Leaders of both houses were said to
have agreed that senate consideration

Women Have Little Say
In Russian Politics

Moscow, Jan. 26.-Madame Alexan-
dra Kollanty, one of the leaders of
the Russian feminist movement
charges, in an article she has written
in the Pravda, that petty bourgeoisie
jnarrowness and superstition are pre-
venting women having the voice they
merit in the Soviet government.
She says that no woman was a vot-
ing delegate at the Communist con-
ference preceding the Ninth All-Rus-
sian Soviet Congress held here and
that only "a women were included
among the 1000 voters at the congress,
despite the fact that so per cent of
Russian voters are women.
She alleges that women are very ac-
tive III politics but less than three
per cent of the membership of town
Soviets is represented by women, and
in the village Soviets they have only
Itwo-tenths of one per cent of the mem
bership.
Furthermore, she states there are
only five women members in the Cen
tral Executive Committee of 300 which
is Russia's chief governing body.
Madame Kollanty declares that such
discrimination against women greatly
retards the reestablishment of agri-
culture in which peasant women play
an important part.
