FRUIT-AND-WINES
- DEAL is EXTENDED

PARIS, March 10. (UP).-The
fruit-and-winc deal between the
United States and France design
ed to spur trade in these commodi-
ties was extended for several
months yesterday.
Mutual concessions were made
on both sides, the French grant
ing the United States an apple
and pear import quota of 5000
tons for the second quarter Of
this year. The United States for
her part granted the French a
quota Of 100000 gallons Of
wine for shipment to America
during March and April.
Unlike the December fruit-and-
wines agreement, the extension
negotiations did not involve new
bargaining. Each nation merely
agreed without argument to give
the ether a favorable quota.

The verdict created little sur

this week when Brig. Gen. Chas.

was his duty to say so.

DIRECT'BONUS
BILL BATTLE:
Hancock, Fifth District, to
Lead Fight on Floor
90; OF. House :...:

! WASHINGTON, March 10. =
Preliminary to the battle over the
] bonus bill in the house Monday,
| Representative Frank W. Han
cock of the fifth North Carolina
district was yesterday named a
member of the steering commit
tee of seven to direct the fight
on the floor.
Mr.. Hancock is one of the 145
members who signed a petition to
! Speaker Rainey calling the bonus
bill out of the ways and means
committee. where it has been
smothered as house bill No. l,
since it was introduced March 8,
1888. This petition brings the
bill before the house for a direct
vote on the issue whether the
! ,4O0,OO0,00O soldiers debt shall
be paid, of which $38,S04,178.24
would GO to North Carolina veter-
ans and 81, 500, 365.04 to those in
Mecklenburg county.
Hancock was selected by Rep
resentative Wright Patman of
/ Texas, bonus payment leader, and
is the only member of the bank
| ing and currency committee on
the board of strategy. In lediate-
/ ly after appointment, Hancock
announced that he would meet
with the other members Saturday
afternoon at 8 o'clock to formu-
late plans for managing Mondays
contest.
An important development yes
terday regarding the bonus is that
Representative Hancock is the au-
thor of the amendment which
Patman will offer Monday to
raise money to pay the bonus,
which it is believed will snag the
argument of the enemies of bonus
payment that "fiat money" would
out of necessity be printed to pay
off the veterans. ''
Mr.. Hancock drew the amend
Continued on page four)
ment which provides that the
president be given alternate au-
thority to use the method to pay
the bonus provided under the
Thomas amendment to the agri-
cultural relief act which has al
ready been approved by congress
and ratified by the president.
This means that the president
could have issued United States
notes retirable at four cents a
year in full payment of the ad-
justed services certificates.
This unexpected move by bonus
advocates is regarded as remov-
ing the stigma of being forced to
issue "fiat money to pay the
bonus, which was identified with
! the original bill. 49,. -,
Advocates. of bonus payment
point out that it would attract
the support Of infiationis,s who
have long Insisted that the presi-
dent use his powers to put in cir
eulation the three billion dollars
already, authorized under the
Thomas amendment, which he has
mot done. In other words, it is.
Insisted that the method now pro:
posed to pay the bonus is one
that has already been approved
in administration circles and
which Hancock insists would af-
ford more general relief than any
other purpose to which the three
billion dollars could be put. :"

killed. Take warning. True
Friends of Germany"
