probably win be the most trying

that of deciding how to raise, the
money fore soldiers bonus. Mr..
Harding and his leaders in Con-.
gressgress will discuss the question
at a white House conference called
for tomorrow. At this conference.
IL IL believed. virtual decision will
be reached to adopt one Of the fol.
lowing plans: y

ments from the European nations.
England is the only debtor country
that can be relied upon to start

sition 10 pay interst only.
.. To establish Scent postage and
levy a series OF special taxes. prob
ably on tobacco. legal documents,
bank checks, automobiles and gaso-
line.
Q. To greatly increase the inheri-
tance or State tax.
e. To work out a combination OF
the foreign debt payments and
taxes. using money that can be OBJ
tained from European debtors, as
far as It will go, and laying enough
new taxes to make up the re-
mainder needed for the boxes.
mainder needed for the bonus.
Look TO ForelE. Debts.
Indications last night were that
the plan OF utilizing the foreign
debt would finally be determined
upon. largely for the reason that
1t would stave OF new and obnox-
ieus taxation. Chairman McCum-
ber of the Senate Finance Commit
tee and Chairman FordRey OF the
House Ways and Means Committee
are known to favor this plan. and
President Harding has indicated he
will approve it IL he can be con.
WINGED IL is workable. Further

on both the Finance and Ways and
Means committees are eager "a

An increase in the Federal tar
On inherited estates was considered
yesterday by the Ways and Means
Committee, framing the bonus bill
and this will be up again next
week. when a detailed study will
be made of inheritance tax tables
of England. Statistics presented
by Representative Ramseyer, Re-
publican. OF iowa, showed that
should the United States levy cor
responding rates the amount raised
annually would be in excess OF
500, ,oo0. 900, nearly twice the sum
required to take care Of the FIRST
years bonus payments.
The latest figures on compare
tive wealth of the allied nations,
made by international experts and
verified by government officials,
show that the United States owes
but per cent of her total wealth
as compared with 53 per cent for
Great Britain. 81 per cent for
France, IS per cent for Italy and
so per cent for Belgium.
