DEMOCRATS
KEEP EYE ON
REFUND BILL
Fight Proposal to Give Mellon
Plenary Power Over For
eign Debt.
FAVOR FARMERS’ AID
By RICHARD LINTHICCJI.
WASHINGTON, Aug. B—The most
! searching scrutiny of the mysterious
Penrosa bill to give the Secretary of the
i Treasury blanket power to do anything
he pleases in the matter of refunding
the $11,000,000,000 war loans has only n
j suited so far in adding to the mystery
i and increasing suspicion of that meas
ure, which was suspicious on Its face.
Not only this, but it has drawn frem a
newspaper published here supposed to be
j owned and edited in part by a member
of Mr. Harding's Cabinet, an editorial
declaration that neither the Senate nor
the House can lay down rules to be fol
lowed In the refunding of these debts
snd denies to the legislative authority
any power to pass upon agreements made
!by the Secretary In the refunding of
• these loans.
Among other things the editorial 4s
i dares that "when made the agreement
must satisfy the financial Interests of
i this country rather than the Senate or
Individual Senators.” In other words..
Congress Is to have no power over the
refunding of these loans, but Is to trans
fer that power to Wall Street with the
i passage of the Penrose bill.
The Penrose refunding bill, which has
j Just been reported b£ the Senate Fi
nance * Committee. It will be recalled,
authorized the Secrttary of the Treasury
to extend the time of payment of these
war loans Including Interest, (now two
| years over duel, and to receive bonds and
obligations from any foreign government
i In substitution of those now or here
after held by the United States under
such terms and rates of Interest as may
be deemed for the best Interests of the
| United States, etc.
BLANKET POWER
FOR SECRETARY.
That Is to say, the Secretary of the
Treasury, is to have blanket power to
do anything he pleases In the matter of
refunding the $11,000,000,000 war loans.
There Is no parallel in legislative his
tory for the Penrose refunding bill, and
i the Administration organ referred to has
j the unique distinction of being the only
newspaper to date to declare that the
readjustment of these $11,000,000,000,00
war loans Is not a matter to be passed
upon by Congress, but solely by the
great financial Interests—ln other words,
i by Wall Street.
Although the Senate Finance Commit
tee has held several hearings on the Pen
, rose refunding bill at which Secretary
j Mellon has testified, no explanation has
’been made by him of how the arbitrary
' power asked for is to be used nor any
j single fact elicited from him to justify
i any such grant of power. The failure to
. bring out any sneh explanation or fact
\ was thus commented upon by Senator
McKellar, Democrat (Tennessee!, who
was the first to expose the sinister char
! acter of this bill.
I “Whenever we ask these gentlemen a
question before snv o f h committees
we are told, "We do not know exactly
j ourselves, but we want absolute and
complete authority: we want you to turn
j over the powers of Congress in regard to
] it.* • * • Congress is incapable of
| dealing with the matter. We must turn
i it over to an officer who has already
failed to carry out the law and who says
ihe has no views about how the new
; powers should be executed if given to
him. All he wants is power to keep a
' meddling Senate or an inquisitive House
j from attempting to interfere.”
PENROSE BILL
SHOWN UP.
The Penrose refunding bill at the time
i of its introduction was exposed in all Its
I possibilities for evil by Senator McKeller
whose relentless analysis of the measure
logically demonstrated that the Secretary
could, if be desired, substitute almost
any kind of obligations for the obliga
tion now held by the United States, 99
per cent of which is probably good. No
j one. of course, charges * that Secretary
Mellon would accept securities he knew
■ to be worthless for securities he knew to
be good, and while the public may have

confidence in its Secretary of the Treas
ury. if these refunding transactions are
o be passed upon by Wall street, as the
Administration organ, in effect, says, it
may be well doubted if public confidence
will extend that far.
The position of Democratic Senators as
voiced by Senator Underwood. the Demo
cratic leader, and by Senator McKellar.
Is that the Secretary of the Treasury
should first present a plan for funding
these loans, which, if it meets with ap
proval, and additional authority is neces
sary, would receive the necessary author
ization. in the opinion of many, how
ever, no additional authority is neces
sary.
Perhaps no other one man In this
country Is so well qualified to pass judg
ment upon this matter of additional au
thority as Senator Carter Glass of Vir
ginia, former Secretary of the Treasury,
under whose administration of the Treas
ury most of these loans were negotiated.
Referring to a statement by Senator
Smoot (Republican, Utah.) that in the
refunding of these obligations the ac
crued interest will be added to the ob
ligations, Senator Glass said:
“The position of the present Secretary
of the Treasury, as stated by the Sena
tor from I'tah. is not one whit different
from the position of his immediate prede
cessors. The only point there In dispute,
if it is In dispute, is that his predeces
sors thought, and I have understood that
he thought, that lie had ample authority
under the existing law—and he has, Mr.
President, the Ways and Means Commit
tee of the House so formally and off!
cialaly stated—he has ample authority
under existing law to fund those loans
snd accrued Interest. He does not need
any further authority to do that.”
PROPOSAL

1 eleven billion dollars to the Secretary

I see fit, except for the approval of Wall

tion by the Democrats in the Senate and
many Senators of his own party.
In the meantime, there Is no legislation
now before Congress more needful of
watchful interest than this bill to place
the readjustment of this huge debt in
the hands of one man with the financial
goddess of Wall street as his guardian
angel.
The substitute for the Kellogg substi
tute for the Norris agricultural bill, re
ported by the Senate Agricultural Com
mittee, to aid the farmers in financing
their surplus crops ‘s receiving the sup
port of the Democrats In that body gen
erally, but without indorsing a policy of
indiscriminate aid fron the treasury for
industries that have be< n unfortunate or
unsuccessful. They readze that the con
dition of agriculture Is critical and that
assistance of some kind Is necessary to
avoid a general calamity. For this rea
son the Democrats are willing to Join
hands with the Republican Administra
tion forces even to tide over the crisis,
thereby giving a concrete denionstration
of the policy of the Democratic party,
announced at the beginning r ' s Mr. Hard
ing's Administration, to be constructive
and helpful.
The substitute reported by the commit
tee appeals to Democrats generally as
better than the Kellogg substitute which,
In the opinion of many, Is better than the
Norris bill, which received Democratic
support when it was the only measure
that promised relief for the farmer.
PROPOSAL APPEALS
TO DEMOCRATS.
The fact that the financing of the sur
plus crops was to be done In this sub
stitute by the war finance corporation
naturally made a special appeal to the
Democrats because the war finance cor
poration Is a Democratic Administration
creation, which functioned successfully
throughout the war and was practically
above criticism.
Some Democratic Senators who are sup
porting the substitute agricultural bill
would be Inclined to be outspoken against
the spirit of paternalism it expresses and
fosters were it not the only available
means in sight of trying to tide the agri
cultural Interests over otherwise insur
mountable difficulties. They feel, also,
that the farmer ought to know that the
success and safety of agriculture Is as
sured by Democratic policies, and that
a large part, of the farmers’ troub'es to
day Is due to his failure to support the
Democratic party and its economic
policies which have always been helpful
to him and his Interests, particularly in
the matter of a competitive tariff, which
stimulated trade and made It possible for
him to find a ready market for his sur
plus products aroad. There Is no spirit
of resentment among these Senators
agnlnst th farmer, despite his desertion
of the party In the last campaign ns
shown h.v the willingness of the party
to coma to his temporary relief even at
the temporary sacrifice of party policy,

but there Is hope and belief that he will
no longer support the Republican party
in Its protective tariff policy, which pro
tects only the manufacturer and profiteer
and destroys the market for agricultural
exports upon which the prosperity of the
farmer depends.
September 1 Is the date according to the
latest announcement for the tax revision
bill to be reported, assuming that the
Ways and Means Committee can find
enough new articles to tax by that time.
Secretary Mellon's estimate that $4,875,-
000,000 will be needed has added to the
difficulties and confusion of the commit
tee. An evidence of this confusion Is
found In .statements pf Chairman Ford
ney that taxation w r ill be reduced, when
Republican leaders like Senators Fen
rose and Smoot, who wrill have the final
say In the levying of internal taxes have
repeatedly announced that there will be
no reduction.
TAX BILL
UP IN AIK.
It Is almost Idle to speculate about the
tax revision bill at this time, as the
the committee is “up In the air” grasp
ing at any and all suggestions to find
new taxes to take the place of the ones
which business demands shall be abolish
ed or reduced.
The perplexity oyer the making of a
revenue bill recalls one notable tragedy
of the madness of the last campaign—
the defeat of former Representative Cor
dell Hull of Tennessee, who Is regarded
by the older members of the House in
both parties as one of the best equipped
men in the country in matters of In
ternal taxation. His learning, his ex
perience and apeclal knowledge of the
subject would be valuable assets at this
time when the country stands so sorely
In need of them.
In the meantime, the business world
waits and suffers while the Ways and
Means Committee work haphazerdly
upon a tax revision bill demanded two
years ago by a Democratic administra
tion.
