The guests entered the White House

Two bonus bills are receiving con-
siderable mention on the floor OF the
House at present. H. r. 1, the bill
introduced by Hon. Wright Patman OF
Texas, provides for the payment OF
the Adjusted Compensation Certifi-
Gates with new currency. H. R. 1896.
introduced by Representative Fred M.
VinsOn of Kentucky, provides for the
payment of the certificates, but does
not provide for the issuance OF new
currency.
Thus the issue of initiation is in
jected into the bonus fight. Debate
has waxed warmly between the OppOs-
ing forces. Many veterans leaders
take the stand that they want pay
ment of the bonus regardless of the
means whereby the money is raised.
Others insist upon one bill or the 9TH
er. Interest at the date of this writ
ing February y centers around the
question Of which bin will be reported
out by the Ways and Means Com
mittee.

alton at its meeting in Saint Paul.
January II. adopted resolution in
favor of raising the price of gold to
the full limit permitted by Congress
in the Gold Retaliation Act and went
on record as favoring the issuance OF
currency against the gold reserve.
They favored the use OF this currency
for payment of the bonus for farm
refinancing, or payment of obligations
of the federal government.
Their resolution would appear to
place them in general accord with the
principle of the Patman bill
