LEADERS SAY
SOLDIERS ASK
FOR REAL CASH
Any Other Plan Will
Be Unsatisfactory
to Men.
SENATORS’ VIEWS
Other Than Money
Proposals May Be
Offered.
By J. BART CAMPBELL.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.— Not
less than $2,750,000,000 will have to
be provided for the soldiers’ “bonus"
out of the proposed §4,000,000,000
British bond issue, in the judgment
of Senator Henry Cabot Hodge, the
Republican leader of the Senate, it
was disclosed today.
Senator Lodge’s estimate is based, it
■was stated, upon tbe belief that from 72
to 75 per cent of ex service men will re
quire a cash “bonus” when Administra
tion leaders undertake to carry out their
present plan of linking the soldiers
■ “bonus” with the British debt.
The plan involves the open sale of
$4,000,000,000 worth of British govern
ment securities, guaranteed by the Amer
ican Government as a practical means of
meeting the grave problems presented
by the soldiers' “bonus” and the foreign
debt, and of providing a stabilization of
international economic and financial con
ditions both here and abroad, at the
same time.
Other leaders of the Senate differ with
Senator Lodge, it was explained as to
the total cost of the soldiers' “bonus” if
cash must be furnished ex-service men.
SAYS 92 PER CENT
WANT CASH.
Senator Curti3 of Kansas, the Repub
lican “whip,” is of the opinion that 92
per cent is a “fair estimate” of the num
ber of ex-service men who would ask for
cash in lieu, of the other forms of ad
justed compensation suggested, it was
understood.
On the basis of Senator Curtis 92 per
cent estimate practically all of $4,0u0,u00,.
009 would be needed by the Government
to finance the soldiers’ “bonus” in accord
ance with the plan outlined.
Senator Watson of Indiana, another ad
ministration spokesman, was represented
as entertaining the opinion that from 85
to 87 per cent of the ex-service men
would not be satisfied with anything less
than a cash “bonus.”
Discussion of the plan was resumed
by Administration leaders, following the
conference they had on the subject at
the White House Saturday night and at
Senator Medill McCormick’s residence
Wednesday night.
THINK BOND PLAN
WILL BE POPULAR.
The belief was expressed that the plan
would not only prove popular but Suc
cessful.
Senators Capper of Kansas and McNary
of Oregon, leaders of the Senate “agri
cultural bloc” who participated in the
conference at Senator McCormick’s house,
were reported to have - promised support

' of the plan by the western agricultural
i Interests.
Both Capper and McNary have fre
quently insisted, as have other Repub
lican leaders of the Senate, that a cash
“bonus" must bo provided for ex-service
men if one was considered most desirable
by the ex-service men themselves.
This view has been shared by Senator
McCutnber of North Dakota, the new
chairman of the Senate Finance Commit
tee and by Senator Lodge.
The American Legion is expected to
back the plan now under consideration.
The legion Is on record as favoring ex
service men’s compensation on the basis
of (1) cash, (2) insurance, (3) farm and
home settlement, (4) land settlement, (5),
vocational education. legion poll
showed a preponderance of sentiment
among its members in favor of cash.
President Harding is said to regard
the new plan with favor, despite opposi
tion expressed to it by some members of
his cabinet.' —Copyright, 1922, by Inter

POINCARE TRIES
TO NAME NEW
FRENCH CABINET
(Continued From Page One.)
promises to pay all Russia’s foreign
debts and makes other concessions.
M. Poincare's attitude upon the pro
posed Anglo-French treaty of alliance,
which was under discussion at Cannes
when M. Briand left the supreme council
meeting to come to Paris, was outlined
ns follows In the Revue des Deux
Mondes just prior to the collapse ot the
Briand government:
“Assuredly a positive, official alliance
between Britain and France would be
precious to Franco und would give us
the security which we lack. It wouid
enatde us to reduce our military bur
dens and concentrate upon establishing
peace throughout the world. But if
England does not formally undertake
an obligation to force strict application
j of the treaty of Versailles, and, if needs
[ be. further sanctions (penalties) toward
j Germany, the alliance would be a farce.
S (.et us hope that such an alliance would
i revive the Versailles treaty and would
I cot weaken either nation.” *
i The press and political circles gener
ally expressed regret over the resigna
tion of M. Briand, but they welcomed
i with approval the selection of M. Potn
loare as his successor.
POINT TO WORK
LEFT UNDONE.
Practically nil the newspapers pointed
out that M. Briand left behind him the
policy of a close union with Great. Brit
ain as one means to assist re-establish
j ment of world peace. They expressed
jthe hope that M. Poincare “would lmme
j dlately deal with the crisis which has
i been presented.”
! It is felt in many quarters that the
; crisis reached its climax height at the
I most inopportune time, in view of the
fa<-t that Germany has announced she
( cannot pay the $120,000,000 indemnity ln
! Rtallinent due Sunday.
Newspapers announced the desire that
the new Poincare ministry would con
tinue the negotiations broken off at the
j supreme council meeting at Cannes.

meeting had been broken off and no ar
rangements made for Its renewal.
BRITISH AWAIT WORD
FROM NEW GOVERNMENT
LONDON, Jan. 13.—Great Britain has
decided to leave the draft of the Anglo-
French treaty of alliance, worked out at
Cannes, In actual being temporarily to
ascertain what attitude is taken toward
it by the new French government, it was
learned this afternoon.
The opinion was advanced in official
circles after a scrutiny of the general
European situation that the status of the
proposed treaty has not been altered by
the resignation of M. Briand as French
Premier. It Is held that the pact Is
available for the new French government
if It wishes to accept it for ratification.
It Is up to tbe new government at Paris
whether or not the treaty shatl bo put
into effect.
Some officials take the view that the
inability of France and Britain to co
operate upon reparations and the pres
ence of Russian delegations in the pro
posed Genoa conference may discourage
the Americans in their attitude toward
the movement for a world economic con
ference.
GERMAN COMMENT
PESSIMISTIC
BERLIN, Jan. 13.—German newspa
pers commented pessimistically today
upon tho resiguat'on of the Briand min
istry at Paris. They consider the re
tirement of M. Briand a “slap in the
face of England and a drawback to
the reconstruction of Europe.”
“The press fears a return of tbb war
policy of the former war maker, Poin
care.” The newspapers declare that M.
Poincare is seeking to make secure the
French hegemony of Europe.
“Premier Lloyd George faces a heap
of ruins Instead of the desired magnifi
cent reconstruction of international soli
darity,” commented tho Lokal Anzeiger.
