TREASURY OPPOSES
new BONUS PLAN
Lack of Financing Provision At.
tackled as Merely Postpon-
ing Day of Reckoning.

Washington.-Strong objections put
forward at the Treasury Department,
to the latest plan for providing cash
bonus for ex-soldiers, again threatened
to complicate action on the Adjusted
Compensation Bill. High Treasury De-
partment officials regard the scheme
now before Congress as merely a
method for postponing the day Of reck-
oning with the taxpayers.
With President Harding, the Treas
ury Department still stands on the con-
tention the Soldiers Bonus Bill should
carry with it the means for raising the
money. Under the present plan, the
highest officials of the department ex-
pect an increase in the charges which
might otherwise not be incurred, and
the possibility of a serious handicap to
business.
They believe it means that Congress
will postpone until 1925 the question Of
raising hundreds of thousands of dol
lars. They find further objection in
tie failure of the Ways and Means
Committee to make provision for a
sinking fund or an amortization plan
for meeting the debt arising out Of
the issuance Of the twenty-year certifi-
Gates.
The plan may operate to increase the
cost in 1925 to nearly $1,0e0,000, 600,
in their opinion. That the funds can
be found by further economics they
regard as a suggestion based upon
failure to appreciate that the govern
ment now has certain fixed charges
which cannot be reduced.
Fear that the certificates proposed
to be given to the ex-soldiers will set
back the banking system of the country
in it's efforts to return to normal con-
ditions were expressed. There was the
belief that with legislation making
those securities eligible for rediscount
in the Federal Reserve banks, the sys-
tenn would agan find on its hands
frozen securities in an amount REM
iniscent Of those Of two years ago.

HARDING AGAIN IS
QU|zzED ON PACT
Bcrah Would Learn Effect of
Pacific Ratification on LanS-
ing-Ishii Agreement.

Washington-Anothe senate request
for information about the four-power
Pacific treaty was sent to the White
House, coincident with the beginning
of a series of addresses by admfristra-
ton senator's, expounding the treaty
and urging its ratification.
Without q record vote and with the
consent of the administration leaders,
the senate adopted after short debate
resolution introduced by Senator
BOrah, Republican, Idaho, leader OF
the 'irreconciliables, asking President
Harding to explain what will become
of the Lansing-Ishii agreement with
Japan should the fOur-pOwer pact be
be given senate approval.
Forecastng the Presidents reply,
Senator Underwood of Alabama, the
Democratic leader and a member Of
the arms delegation which negotiated
the treaty, declared on the senate floor
that the four-power and other pacts
resulting from the Arms Conference
would "wipe out'' the celebrated gen
tlemen's agreement of 1917 entirely.
His construction of the situation was
disputed, however, by other senators.
Just as the Lansing-Ishil agreement
recognized that Japan had especial in
terests" in China Mr.. Underwood ar
gued, the arms treaties recognize that
no nation possesses any such privileges
or any other right which might be con-
strued as creating a special sphere Of
influence in the Far East. Senator
Lodge of Massachusetts, the Republi-
can leader and another of the Ameri-
can delegates, indicated afterward that
his view coincided with that of Senator
Underwood.

dress to be made in the senate by the
