Washington. ID. c.. April 4.


Senator Frelinghuysen IN. J.) made
public letter to-day sent to one OF
his constituents. in which he says he
is opposed to the bonus bill as passed
by the House and will not vote for it.
His chief objection to the measure is
that 1t provides no means to raise the
necessary money.
The New Jersey Senator refused to
say he was opposed to paying bonus
of any sort to ablebodied ex-service
men. Apparently he is in favor of
some sort OF bonus, and 1t is under
stood he prefers a paid up insurance
policy plan. Such program is advo-
Gated also by Senator Cummins Qowa).
He, too, IS disposed to oppose the
House bill, but favors some kind of a
bonus for the ex-servfce men. SEN
ator Frelinghuysen's letter was as fol-
lows:
Dear Sir: I have delayed answering
your communication in reference to the
adjusted compensation bill not because
I wished TO avoid any responsibility, but
because I wanted to personally reply to
all the letters which have been adj
dressed to me on this subject There
having been so many It has beer, i'm
possible for me TO do so until the pres
ent time
when the so-called bonus legislation
was proposed last July l wrote TO the
Secretary OF the Treasury asking him
what effect It's passage would have upon
the Treasury and the finances Of the
country. His reply clearly Indicated
that It would be disastrous to pay the
bonus at that time and this position was
Endorsed by the President in his mes
sage TO Congress. in which he stated
that he felt its passage would seriously
embarrass the Treasury. / then voted
TO recommit the bill
Since that time the measure has been
proposed again in the House OF Repre-
sentatives and various methods or taxa
ton considered to meet the obligation
which would be incurred should the bill
become a law. As member of the
committee In the Senate which would
handle such legislation, have been un-
willing to express my opinion in advance
of knowing what form the legislation
would take and how the funds were to
be raised for its payment.
1.-THE bill passed by the House provides
no ways or means to raise the money
necessary for its fulfillment. Ordinarily
Congress passes legislation without car
rying herewith the provision for raising
the funds necessary therefor, but the
bestowal OF the bonus is 10 ordinary
act. do not know of any other meas
ure which has ever been before the
Cons ress which contemplates taking so
large a sum from the public treasury
for any given purpose.
1T Is because believe In a consistent
program that feel that Congress. In
distributing so large a public fund. owes
II to Itself and the country to make
provision for raising that fund. Such a
program the House bill does not con-
template and in Its present sorm / shall
not vote for IT.

France has acknowledged the claim
of the United States for reimbursement
for the maintenance of American troops

This note is regarded as provisional,
and meets what the Government of the

greatest importance-namely. acknowl
edgment of the business of the
claim A more complete reply to the
American note is suggested by the ref

Secretary Hughes expects answers
from the other Governments to whom

are in progress among the allied Gov

the French Government never had the
intention of contesting the right of the

IN. Poincare adds that he wishes 70
inform our Government how much the
French Government appreciated the co
operation, of the American troops with
the allied troops on the Rhine; that the
French Government greatly regrets that
our Government should have taken tho
decision to withdraw Its troops; their

Favors Government Control.

Before leaving here Mr.. Lewis de-
clared that the suggestion OF Govern
ment operation of the mines. made by
Senator Borah (Rep.. Idaho), was "signi-
ficant" and the union leader added that
he believed il was fundamentally cor
rect"
THE creation OF some national au-
thority over the coal industry Is nee
essary-cal it what you may" declared
Mr.. Lewis. This does not necessarily
mean Government ownership. which !
doubt could now be accomplished be-
cause of the enormous amount OF money
that would be required to buy all the
mines and also the difficulty of find
ing a method Of payment"
Pointing out the Governments con-
troll OF the nations railroads through the
Interstate Commerce Commission ana
other agencies, Mr.. Lewis indicated his
approval Of the Government exercising
similar control over the mining industry.
Such control, he asserted, should pro-
vide for a licensing system Tor the OPP
Grafton of mines so as TO eliminate waste
in the industry through the elimination
or haphazard mining.
He also declared that any Government
control should compel the coal industry

at work. and also their dependents.

s.rnust be applied equally-to all OF the

but should take in every field In the
country regardless of how It IS now

Aside from commenting on Govern
ment control, Mr.. Lewis reiterated the
statement that union rail workers were
not to be asked to join In the strike.
and in this connection he said that the
miners union would not be represented
at the meeting OF several ran union

New York Herald Bureau,
London, April 1.
With the Prime Minister'S return to
Downing Street tonight to put the
final touches upon Mondays speech in
the Commons, well informed sources
said the speech and his policy at
Genoa would be based on these pre-
misses:
The renewal of trade will make
reparations relatively unimportant; to
renew trade an enforced military holt
day is necessary, and without a re-
newa, of trade Europe as an economic
whole and the British Empire in par
ticular is doomed to disaster"
1t is pointed out that the only basis
for Genoa Is contained in the Cannes
stipulation, which Premier Poincare ac-
copied in his consultation with Mr..
Lloyd George at Boulogne. Hence OBJ
servers fail to see how France can pre-
vent him following the policy outlined.
Mr. Lloyd George Is said to consider
Russia as the key to an enforced mill
tary holiday, and Germany as the key
to economic recovery. Once the Red
army is demobilized effectually. upon
genuine agreements adequately guaran-
teed that Russia neither Will be at
tackled nor will attack, the entire MILL
taristic structure of the Continent must
fall. On the other hand. If trade is re-
born upon such a collapse of militarism
there is no reason why Germany cannot
find thes money to pay for reparation
any more than that Great Britain
France : and, Russia cannot find the
money t.. pay their debts.
