of the gross premiums collected
outside of Wilmington as tax for
the maintenance and upkeep Of the
various fire companies in different
towns Of the State. Wilmington is
excluded under this bill
A similar bill was introduced sew
eral days ago by Representative

for two per cent of the premiums
on fire insurance paid in Whining
ton TO go for the upkeep OF fire COM
panies outside OF Wilmington. The
W.heatley bill also specified that
only fire companies in incorporated
cities and towns should receive the
two per cent of premiums collected
in that particular town. This 1t is
understood would have cut OUT sew
eral rural fire companies from re-
ceiving any benefits under the bill,
as they are not in incorporated
towns.
Under the LORD OIL the 'lSui a"0e

had been made with Great Britain"
Burton said the commission did
not make its authority too broad be-
cause debtor nations might ask more
liberal terms than those accorded
Great Britain. Inside information
regarding the British negotiations
was given to the committee but held
confidential at Burton's request.
While the com mi.tee began its
consideration or the debt bill Sen
ator Harrison. Miss, assailed Pres
ident Harding for the tone OF his
message yesterday.
Harrison's attack on Harding
centered mainly around the Presi-
dents appeal TO the Senate to reach
some disposition OF the subsidy bill!
and his statement that postponement
OF such delay was a mark OF impC-
tence.
An administration drive in the
Senate to force the decision on the
ship subsidy bill dsranded by
President Harding was decided on
today by leaders as the House ways
and means committee took up the
bill approving the British debt
settlement.
Mr. Harding's unexpected coupling
OF the debt funding and the subsidy
bill in his message yesterday left
Congressional leaders somewhat dis
concerted with their carefully pre-
arranged plan FOR quickly disposing
Of the debt legislation thrown askew.
A quick effort was made together
on a new plan that would meet the
Presidents wishes and not endanger
passage OF the debt legislation by
March 3, when he present Congress
expires. II was decided that the
House ways and means committee
should go to work today on the bill
introduced b. Representative Bur
ton to approve the British settle
ment terms Burton appeared be-
fore the committee today to give it
the historical background OF the
negotiations and to submit to ques-
tioning by Democratic members, on
the interest rate granted the British
government and other points.
Representative Mondell Republi-
can floor leader, expects to pass the
bill in one day. Whether it will be
passed Friday OF this week or about
the middle OF next week. may depend
to some degree, on developments m
the Senate.
The House, caught on one OF the
most remarkable flbusters in its
history aimed at the ship subsidy
bill, will atgtenmpt to extricate itself
by rushing the pending army bill to
a vote as early as possible. and then
taking up the ship subsidy bill. In
the meantime. the finance commit
tee on Friday will begin considera-
ton OF the debt legislation.
The subsidy bill will be laid aside
in plenty of time to debate the debt
bill. The provision granting the
President power to approve subse-
auent debt settlement with other
nations Will be fought by the Demo-
Gratis who insist Congress should
have the final say. They also will
nerew their demands for Demo-
cratic represtation on the American
debt funding committee.
Senator Borah will offer his eco
nomic conference resolution az an
amendment to the debt law accord
ing to his present plans and that
may cause extension OF debate.
With but three weeks OF working
time left. leaders therefore were con-
fronted today with number OF
questions to be settled at once. These
