advice of President Hoover, would

In expressing the opinion that
the next session of Congress will
witness "a great drive for bonus
legislation" by World War veter-
ans, Representative Johnson, chair
man of the committee to which
such matters are referred ,sug-
gests that it might be reasonable
to reduce the rate of interest, four
and one-half per cent, now paid
by ex-service men on loans from
the Government. The Treasury
has recently been borrowing money
at much lower rates. 1t is not
likely that such a compromise
woud be accepted by those who
have been so actively promoting
the movement for immediate pay
ment in full of the adjusted COM
pensation. All signs point, as Mr..
johnson says, to a concerted de-
mand on the next Congress for
the cashing of bonus certificates
and forgiveness of the loans al
ready granted. Doubtless, the
next move would be for pensions.

chosen for the next Republican
National Convention. 1t was there
that Mr. Coolidge was nominated
for President in 1924. Cleveland
is in the Middle West, and the Mid
die West always has the call over
any other part of the country in
getting national party conventions.
The Republican Party has not gone
anywhere, except to Middle
Western city, in a generation
Cleveland has, moreover, one of
the best convention halls in the
country. Also Ohio is an impor-
tant debatable State this time,
and conventions are generally sent
70 such State.
