The conferees had reached an lm-
Dasse on the two proposals when the
President intervened, and there had
been indications that a final disagree

posed by the President, was the only
remaining problem.

was that in Skamania county, where

through to next July and to cover ad
ditional credits to the allies promises
now to far exceed $8,000,000,000 and
mayjimount to $10,000,000,000.
War department estimates sent to
congress Saturday call for new appre
ciations of $5,278,636,000 for that
branch of the military establishment
alone. Estimates totaling another
$1,000,000,000 or more are expected,
when the other departments report
their needs, and in addition Secreary
McAdoo has indicated that before the
year is out congress will be asked for
$2,000,000,000 appropriation to in
crease the lund avauaoie ior loans
abroad.
As soon as the departmental reports
are in the appropriation committees of
congress will go to work on an imme
diate budget, which probably will total
in the neighborhood of $7,000,000,000.
Meantime the senate finance commit
tee, which has the war tax bill in
charge, will meet to consider what
part of the new expenditures is to be
provided by taxation and on what com
modities the new levies are to fall.
Congressional leaders do not expect
to have to provide immediately for the
additional credits to the ajlies, as
treasury officials had indicated that no
appropriation for that purpose will be
requested until the next session.
The gross estimates submitted by
the War department totalled $5,917,
878,347, but that covered all existing
and expected deficiencies in the de
partment funds, including upwards of
$640,000,000 already appropriated for
the aviation program. This latter
item will not be included in the bud
get, but congress will have to provide
revenues to meet it, since it was not
on the ledger when the war tax bill
was framed.
How much of the new war expenses
should be raised by taxation and how
much by bonds or treasury indebted
ness certificates is a warmly debated
question. Committee sentiment seems
to be in favor of increasing the $1,
670,670,000 war tax bill only to about
$2,000,000,000, with authorization
both for a new bond issue probably at
a higher interest rate and in serial
form and for issuance of treasury cer
tificates of indebtendness.

Socialist and Labor Member Resolu

London The house of commons, af

resolution moved by James Ramsay
MacDonald, Socialist and Labor mem
ber, defeated it by a vote of 148 to 19.
The announcement of the figures was
received with some cheers and much
laughter.
The smallness of the numbers in the
house when division was taken iB an
indication of the little interest shown
by parliament in any hope of a useful
peace movement at the present junc
ture, and the conviction was voiced in
an important statement by Herbert H.
Asquith, the former premier, that
nothing was to be hoped from the
present temper of the German reich
stag and people.
Mr. MacDonald, as Bhown by the
vote, found very few supporters.
George James Wardle, in behalf of the ?
labor party, declined to have anything
to do with this pacifist resolution.

the government leader in the house,
