Committeemen said it was not the intention to rely on any part either of the interest or principal of the British or other foreign debts in ner tion with the bonus. They said that something around 1350,000,000 a year would take care of the cash payments to be made over the two and one-half years period, beginning January 1, 1923, and that the find ing of definite and certain sources from which to obtain this amount was their immediate concern.

The -other 11 will be scrapped or converted to mer chant ships undrr the treaty. Secretary Denby acted after As sistant Secretary Roosevelt had dis cussed with President Harding the terms of the treaty affecting the new ships. Mr. Harding approved the suggestion that work t»e halted im mediately on the eight super-dread naughts and six battlecruisers pend ing final action on the treaty. The building operations thus halted have cost the government approximately $5,000,000 a month. Following ratification of the trea ty, contracts for the new ships will be cancelled. The ultimate cost to the government of this cancellation cannot be determined, but naval of ficials believe a considerable saving will be made through yesterday's ac tion. v •~o* 'JJt. it ARE SENTENCED BACH GET FOUR YEARS AND Hentrich.
