HARDING OPPOSES
 USE OF REFUNDED DEBTSFOR BONUS
Holds It Would Be UnWise to Depend on Foreign Debts to Meet Compensation
 Payments
By Associated Press

Washington, February 7.-word went out from the White House to- day that President Harding was strongly opposed to the writing into the soldiers bonus bill of a provision for the use of the refunded foreign bonds in helping to finance the ad- 5usted compensation program. Con- fidence was expressed that no spe- cial appropriation would be included in the measure.
 The President was reported as talk ing the view that since the refunding negotiations would be incomplete when the bonus bill was to be passed, 1t would be unwise to depend upon the foreign bonds as A source of rev snue to meet the compensation pay ments. In his talks with congress Bional leaders on this subject he is understood to have insisted that the bonus legislation provide definite and certain revenue sources.
 The problem of financing the bonus Is giving congressional leaders no small amount of concern. With the House ways and means committee hearings brought to close today, it's majority members and the Senate fi- nance committee plan to attack that problem within few days.
 Information Indefinite
 One difficulty in connection with drafting the bill, it is explained, is the lack of definite information as to the cost of carrying out the five way" plan. This will depend upon the number of former service men who choose. the various plans If all take cash the cost would be ap- proximately sl.500,0 900 within two and one-hslf years. The basis upon which the committeeman will work in solving the financing problem prob ably will be that 50 per cent of the men will take cash
 Since the cash payments Would be distributed over more than two years with each quarterly payment during that period equalling one tenth of the total to be paid to each applicant, many members of Congress believe taht large majority of the men will elect one or tho other four plans. in. surance, vocational training, land set tlemeRt and home aid. Officials of the American Legion who have ap- peared before the house committee share this view.
 Fiscal officers of the army, navy and marine corps have submitted es- kmates to the committee that the to- c.I cost of the bonus would be ap- proximately S2,500, ,000. This is on the basis that 50 per cent of the men who served with the army and 75 per cent of those serving with the navy and marine corps will take cash Navy and marine corps officers told the committee today that the 75 per cent figure was arrived at on the fhanFU that vnn were less tied to the land than those who served in the army

SENATE LEADERS BEGIN PREPARING
 FOR TREATY FIGHT
Executive Departments Move to Carry Out EdiCtS of Arms Conference Without
 Any Delay
By Associated Fresa

Washington, February 7.-Ereou- tive departments of the government took steps today toward carrying out the edicts of the armament confer ence without awaiting ratification by the Senate of the several treaties re- sulting from the conference, while the American delegation to the con ference worked on their report which will be submitted to President Hard ing and leaders in the Senate began marshaling their forces for the fight on ratification of the several treaties
 Announcement was made during the day that President Harding had ordered discontinued all work on ad- ditional Qualifications on the island of Guam and in the Philippine Is- lands. thus taking note of the clause in the naval treaty which fixes status quo for these Pacific Islands.
 To Halt Naval Building
 The President, 1t was stated at the White House. also would order sus- pended all work on naval craft now building. which are destined for the scrap heap under the nve-power treaty with Great Britain, Japan France and Italy. The final order to discontinue such construction. however, will not be issued until the treaty Is ratified, 1t was said.
 Secretary Weeks. in furtherapce of the Presloant's order regarding the Philippines, cancelled the orders for sending new guns to replace those in the Qualifications there.
 Secretary Denby also announced that some military equipment. ln- cluding mines. destined for Guam, had been ordered returned.
 Discussing his action, Secretary Weeks said the orders had been can called as an evidence of the good faith of this country to carry out in spirit and letter the provisions Of the naval treaty respecting the Qualifications of Pacific islands.
