WASHINGTON. Dec It President
Roosevelt' Inatotenco that money con
tributed by tha tairaranca companies
to tha Wi fund ba returned to tha
policyholders, ia one of tha tutyectt
mot dlacoHed by membara of Con
greaa. Tha atory that George B. Cor
telyou. chalrtnaA of tha Republican
national committee, and ComUua ft
BUm, the treasurer, are opposing the
Frealdenre plan and bar thua far
blocked tt, li not given nerkme weight
Their Judgment In tha matter may not
coincide with that of the Pratldent, but
tf Mr. Roosevelt la determined that
tha money hall ba returned, member
of Congreao believe, undoubtedly that
It will go back.
Tha President la represented aa
viewing the question aa one of good
moral, and It la pointed out that be
would hardly heap further honor upon
a man who opposed him on a mora! la
sue. Were the mutter one merely of
expediency, 'here would be no Incon
turtency In hi making Mr. Cortelyou
Secretary of the Treasury, no matter
how sharply hi view might differ
from thrnie of the President; but the
President would "hardly place a man
in that position whom ha considered
' morally deficient Accepted opinion,
- therefore, la disposed to cellminate Mr.
Cortelyou a a determined opponent of ;
the plan of restitution. . j
With Mr. Blls the cane might bei
different, Mr. Bliss belong to the ;
, Mark Hanna school of politic, and
the Hanna theory waa alway that
uch contribution were 'untitled, tnk-
' Ing the ground that general prosperity
depended on Republican tucces at
the polls and that when a corporation
contributed It was merely paying a
premium on properlty Insurance, the
same aa It would Inaure against fire
or other destructive agencies. Viewed
In this light, contribution by the In
surance companle did not constitute
a fraud upon the policyholders, but
were rather a wise Investment In their
Interest.
Having accepted uch contributions,
Mr. Btlsa might very well oppose re-
tltutlon on the score that It would be
a confession of wrong doing In the ac
ceptance. Discussing this phase of the
