GREENSBORO DAILY NEWS, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1922 Pa)ing Bonus to Ex-Service Men Is a Puzzling Problem Would Require Two Billion Dollars To Start And Mean Greatly Increased Taxes As Well As Opening Up New Rev- enue Interfere With Business." Br RICHARD SPILLANB. ; (rovrrlflit. 1933. t FnlluMpbis Pi'blle Udr.) Philadelphia, Feb. 9. Suppose Con gress passes and the President eigne the bill (or what ia called adjusted compensation of . the soldiers of the world war or, as mors popularly known, tho soldiers' bonusl What would It mean In additional taxes and where and bow would the money be raised? The soldiers' bonus will require two billions of dollars Initially. On ths Income oC 1921 the Income tax and the exoess profits tax will not total 12.000,000,0(10. If ws had no other than these taxes they would have to be doubled to pay toe oonus. . There are four sources through which additional revenue might be raised. They are (1) Increasing post age to tnree cents, which would add 1200.000,000 in revenue; (2) a national tax on automobiles: ( heavier tax on tobacco, and (4) a two-cent tax on bank onecks. Irrespective of slie. Even with these the sum obtained probably, would fall short of require ments., , In the Judgment of one of the na REMEMBER THE NAMEl MBfp ? $f . "' f'r cigar in the world.

Increase the corporation tax 0 per oent Instead of IS Mi. Extend the sales tax to a largo number of articles now exempt. Inevitably the distribution of two billions of dollars to the ex-service men would bring about a considera ble amount of reckless spending, with a rise In prices of many kinds and olassea of goods. Those who got money through the bonus would have money to jpend, but those assessed, snd they make up the bulk of the population, would have less. Inevitably Liberty bonds would be depressed considerably in market value, for there would have to be n governmental bond Issue to meet the Immediate requirement for ready money to pay the bonus. There Is other criticism of the sol diers' bonus bill. To many persons Its provisions ap pear unjust. There Is general agree ment that the nation can not do enough for the gallant boys who suf fered dreadfully In the war through being gassed, wounded or disabled; but why. It Is asked, should those who never got to Franca, who never knew the horrors of war, be rewarded as fully as the sufferers? It Is pointed out too, that hundreds of thousands of those who never got across got something In their war training; which .tltey never could have 'obtained. They got education, physical development and a broadening of their mental nor lion that should bo of Incalculable value. It Is pointed out also that millions of persons In civil life made sacrifices in money and service In work fully as great those who never got beytnd training camps. They do not ask for pensions or compensation. They served no lees than did those who went to training camps. It may as well be appreciated how as later that heavier taxation will de lay readjustment not only In America, but In other oountrles, for upon re adjustment In this country recovery in other lands depends to a degree. Increased taxation means added dif ficulties in the conduct of business. Enterprise Is dulled when the greater the effort the heavier the tax pen alty. Today the country Is In sore straits In many departments of Its life. Its burdens have been Increased, by ths drastlo decline in the value of Its various products, by disorganisa tion of foreign commerce and by a I urge measure of unemployment Tax ation today Is more of a weight than ever before In five decades. But will the soldiers' bonus bill be come law? The signs are that It will pass both houses of Congress. Presi dent Harding has deolared he will not approve any bonus legislation that does not Include a measure for rais ing the revenue. The administration Is committed to reduction of taxation. It Is commit ted also to soldier compensation. It la possible to do one of these, but not the two at this time. What's the answer?

SAYS WAR MENACE IS DEFINITELY SET ASIDE Philippe Millet, French Writer, Re views Results Of Arms ment Parley. SskIiI csti, is Oiii, am. (Omrrtflu. in. I rHUKMpAli fuMM Ltdpr ) Paris, Fi.b, . -Reviewing the eight principal treaties and accords of the Washington conference, Philippe Mil let concludes In tonight's Parlsien that tho results definitely set aside the menace of war. "If the senate respects the decision of the conference on two questlons whlcb dominated the conference from Its beginning there will be two out standing results, first In renouncing the construction of a fleet larger than Kngland the United States has made possible the reduction of naval armnmenls: second. In resolving not to disturb Japan In Its vital positions whether In Manchuria or In the Pa cific, the United States has undone the Anglo-Japanese alliance, liberated the Chinese province of Shantung from foreign domination and strengthened the International status of China. "Before the conference at Washing ton the world was menaced by a greater program of naval armaments and by another great war which was brewing a universal crisis. The con ference, If Hit work is not compro mised, will sel aside both these men aces and the report thus speaks for Itself. Whether we see It or net, this conference will definitely bring be fore the world the question of land forces and It will be this problem henceforth that will continue to pre sent Itself from every quarter on ev ery occasion.
