BONUS ACTION PLANNED.
Agreement Reached at White
Conference to Pass Soldiers
Bill After Refunding Measure.

Washington, Jan. 9.--Agreement
having been reached at the White
House conference for the enactment
of Soldiers Bonus Bill during this
session of Congress the measure viii
be acted upon by the Senate linmedia-
tely after the bill for the refundlng of
the foreign debts IL passed.
II was pointed out yesterday that
the understanding that President Har-
ding will sign the bonus measure does
not represent a change IN his posi-
ton. According to a Senator who at
tended the conference, the President
takes IL for granted that the bonus
will pass and will not offer objcc-
tion. His position has never been In
opposition TO a bonus, but TO bonus
at a particular time. 1t was said.
So far as known. the Treasury De-
partment's dislike for bonus is un-
changed. There was an opinion among
the conferees that Secretary Mellon
would not favor It as separate
proposition; but. in view of the atti-
tude ascribed to President Harding
Mr.. Mellon is not expected to figh,
the bill.
At the White House conference I,
was Senators Lodge, McCumher, Cur.
tis and Watson Of Indiana, represent
ing the Republican control of the Sen
ate, who urged payment OF the bonus
out of the interest Of the foreign obli.
cations to this country.
