sidered Today in Senate
Conference of Both
Parties.
Bill Passes House 4 to

Washington, April 13.-The senate
is face to face with the problem OF
whether the Japanese exclusion pol
icy is to be written into law.
Organization republicans. who have
rallied around their chief to give bat
tie to the coalition of insurgents In
their own party and the democrats
on the revenue bureau investigating
question, will go into conference to-
morrow, to undertake to reach an
agreement with respect to japanese
exclusion.
Whatever the outcome Of that con-
ference, most leaders at the capitol
foresaw an affirmative vote on the
exclusion question. despite the vigor-
Gus and almost blunt protest from
the Japanese government transmitted
to the house and senate last week by
Secretary Hughes.
The Japanese protest was without
effect upon the vote In the house,
which passed the immigration bill
with it's exclusion provision by a
margin of more than four to one.
There was no reference in the debate
TO the communication from Ambas-
sador Hanihara and only brief and
casual discussion of the exclusion
question.

United States
Lays Down Firm
Policy on Debts
No Action by Debtor Nations
to Be Permitted Which Will
Make Americas Position
LESS Favorable"

Washington. April 1s.-The United
States has laid down the definite
policy that 1t will permit OF no action
by foreign debtor nations that would
make the position of this government
less favorable" with respect to obli-
cations due IT,
Establishment Of the policy was
disclosed today with publication by
the American debt commission Of
with the mission
from the kingdom of the Serbs. Croats
and Slovens. which last Monday dis
cussed funding arrangement on that
country's debt of s61 .5S7 900. The
mission left without making any head
way towards a settlement. but catried
with 1t a letter setting forth the
American Views.
Pending the refunding or satisfac-
tion of the indebtedness I'm ques-
tion." the debt commissions letter
said, the commission assumes the
United States may feel assured that
no action will be taken by your gov
eminent with respect to any of its
indebtedness heretofore or hereafter
incurred which will result in placing
the United States In less favorable
position as a creditor than that which
1t now occupies"
The paragraph was regarded as
making it clear that the United States
intends to retain tho priority of its
obligations where such priority exists
and that II will accept no second liens
that may result from shifting finan-
cial arrangements in the reorganiza.
tion of any foreign governments
debts.
1t was indicated that a majority
OF the debt commissioners feel further
time should bo given foreign powers
in which to initiate funding negotia-
tions because Of hope that settle
ment OF the reparations problem may
be near. The Jugo-Slav delegation
said It's government expected to offer
a funding settlement when the repara.
tlon question IN worked out. This
situation was deemed likely to affect
the other smaller debtors. so 1t ap.
peared probabl that the debt com.
mission would mark time for while.

Senator SmOOt
toOppose Bonus
Finance Chairman Refuses to
Handle Bill-Up in Sem
ate This Week.

Washington, April 13.-The soldier
bonus bill win join the tax reduction
measure on the senate calendar this
week and leaders of both parties are
prepared to clear the path for their
immediate consideration.
Which of the measures will be
given precedence will be determined
tomorrow or Tuesday by the finance
committee while 1t is likely also that
this subject will be discussed at the
conference of republicans tomorrow.
Announcing his opposition TO the
bonus bill, Chairman Smoot OF the
finance committee, has turned over
to Senator Curtis. Kansas, repub-
lican member of the committee the
said he would report the bill to the
senate by Tuesday at the latest.
Senator Smoot based his opposition
on the failure of the bill to carry a
financing insisting its cost could not
be met out of regular government
funds. The tax reduction measure
would not only eat up any treasury
surplus next year. Mr.. Smoot said,
but would go s50.9s9. 900 behind the
limit of the estimated surplus. Cost
OF the bonus bill has been estimated
at 135,00o,0o0 for the first year.
The report OF democrats OF the H.
nance committee on the revenue bill
is expected to be submitted to the
senate tomorrow. II will oppose prin.
cipally the income tax schedule as
fixed by the committee in accordance
with the plan Of Secretary Mellon.
