COPELAND WOULD
GIVE CASH BONUS
THROUGH BOND ISSUE

Washington, April 11--Incorpora-
ton in the soldier bonus bill of an
option for full cash payments to vet
Grams on the basis of one dollar for
each day of service above GO days
will be proposed by Senator Sim
mons of North Carolina, ranking
Democrat on the senate finance COM
mittec.
The bill will be taken up again to-
morrow by the committee and Re-
publicans, who have agreed general
ly on the terms of the house insur-
ance bill. predict that measure will
be ordered reported to the senate.
The house measure would allow
computation of adjusted service
credit on the basis of 81 for each
day of home service and $1.25 for
each day of overseas service, above
the first 60 days. Cash payments
would be made only to those veter-
ans not entitled to more than $50,
others being given 20 year endow-
ment life insurance policies.
Senator Copeland, Democrat. New
York, has introduced a bonus bill
mons will propose. except that it
carries no insurance option. Using
the dollar n day basis of credit. the
Copeland bill would authorize a gov
eminent bond issue of $1,500,000 to
run for a period of GO years, which
amount. it was estimated. would
cover the entire cost. Cost of the
house bill has been estimated by gov
eminent actuaries at from $2,202,-
100000 to $4,000, 900, 900.
With n report of the bonus bill to
the senate in prospect by next Mon
day, an immediate showdown Is eX-
pccted on whether the tax or bonus
bill will be taken up first. Chairman
Smoot of the finance committee, an
nounced yesterday he would cali the
tax bill up for discussion about the
middle of the week. Republicans
generally, however, have said pri-
vately that they would favor dispo-
sition first of the bonus bill, est-
mating that not more than a week
would be required for this. Passage
of Il bonus bill is declared certain.
Senator Robinson, Democratic lead
err, has declared he would favor inn
mediate action on either the tax or
bonus bill.
Chairman Smoot said today he
pIoDdDly WOulu TRANSMIT tne MAJOR
ity report on the, tax reduction bill to

mons has asked Senator Jones, of
New Mexico, a Democratic member
of the committee, to prepare the mi
nority report, and Mr.. Jones said to-
day it was unlikely this would be
submitted to the senate before Mon
day.

ton members looking toward a COM
promise on the Mellon income tax
schedule to head off the Democratic
plan outlined yesterday by Sena tor

arily by the absence from the city of

sian Property.

The diploHa attic colony at Peking,
China, including the United States,
through the Portuguese Minister as
dean OF the corps. has presented a
joint note to the Chinese Minister
Tor foreign affairs respecting the
proposition to surrender the property
Of the former Russian legation to the
representatives of the existing Rus
sian government.
While the representatives of the
powers signatory to the protocol OF
1901 affirm their fixed desire not to
concern themselves with relations be-
ments. the joint note says they must
clearly indicate that agreements be-
tween Chinese and Soviet govern
ments must not weaken or infringe
upon Undertakings entered into with
the Chinese government"
After discussing the special regime
OF diplomatic quarter and interna-
tional servitudes laid upon the Chi
atives of foreign powers resident
within the quarter" and the limita-
tions which have prevailed during
the past "a years, the note concludes
rs follows:
Explain Stand on Property.
This complicated situation, which
compelled request from the powers in
1920 to assume responsibility for safe
guarding real property OF Russian
government, now obliges them not to
hand back this property except to
representatives of Russian govern
ment by whom they may be prelirn-
inarily assured of maintenance of ar
rangements constituting conventional
statute of diplomatic quarter. This
should be simple of attainment. These
pourparlers not within province OF
Chinese government. but instrument
tality Of minister for foreign affairs
will gladly be sought in initiating
them.
The eight Ministers must be noti-
fed of name of diplomatic represent
ative offcially accredited to Chinese
government by Russian Government.
and minister for foreign affairs is re-
quested to ask this representative
to put himself directly in touch with
them to discuss and determine the
matter ....
NO Russian representative has yet
presented credentials to the President
Of China as Ambassador or Minister
since Karakhan's credentials were for
the special purpose of concluding an
