there was much learned discus

has way of doing, by calmly
fixing upon the simple word.

High rents and the attitude of

SOLDIER BONUS
Presented to House by Ways
and Means Committee
Vote Tomorrow

WASHINGTON, March 1.-Two
reports on the soldier bonus bill
were presented to the House today
by the ways and means committee,
four Republicans signing a minority
statement opposing the measure.
CHAIRMAN Green, in majority re-
port, stated that expenditures under
the bill, estimated at S2,119 600, 600.
could be met from prospective saw
ing in current government expenses
and called for no additional taxes.
The minority statement, signed by
representatives Treadway. Massa-
chusetts; Tillson, Connecticut; Wat
son, Pennsylvania, and Mills, New
York, declared If the bill were en-
acted its requirements threatened
the likelihood of future tax reduc-
tions.
Prospects for passage of the meas
ure tomorrow were declared bright
today by proponents. A two thirds
vote is necessary. since the bill will
come up under suspension of the
rules, which also limits debate and
prevents amedments.>
Explaining provisions of the bill
allowing cash payments to veterans
not entitled to more than $50 and
paid up life insurance policies to
others, Mr.. Green argued that 1t
"confers substantially benefit upon
the soldiers, is based on economic
ally sound principles and can be
paid for without embarrassing the
treasury, and he estimated that ave-
rage value of the insurance pollces
would be about 1862.
