taken by the allies; restoration el

Ruaala; negotiation of a treaty for the
development of Africa's resources, and
reduction of Herman reparation.
The Maryland senator said he was
convinced "it would be unwise and
dangerous for ua to attempt to put a
further strain upon our financial sys
tem by attempt im; to pay a cash bonus
of from three lo five billions of dollar
before attempt ing to find a solution
for the problem of our agricultural. In

soldiers' bonus tax committee got no
where today at its first session to (lis
cuaa ways and nieana of financing the
bonus. Several members were absent
and it finally was decided lo put the
whole question over until later in the
day.
Preliminary discussion, held behind
closed doors, was said to have indicat
ed that there would be a lively scrap
before a manufacturers sales tax was
reported out. There appeared to be
little doubt, however, that the commit
tee would recommend that form of
levy.
