Lodge an i runced that unless senators were rady to epeak by tomorrow, he would ask for a vote on. ratlflca t!on. Since it came before the aenato. the treaty never has been contln Uottsly under .debate for more than two hours. and most of the dis cussion has gone forward with only a Handful of senators in tnei places. , Not a ' tingle member of the ' irreconcilable' group listened 1-8enator Kellogg's speech today and there 'waa no effort to draw him into a running debate. In the main . the ' treaty opponents have indicated a desire to reserve their fire, at least until they have heard from Senator Lodge and from Senator Underwood, of Alabama, tne democratic leader, both of whom are members of the Ameri' can arms delegation. Senator Borah's understanding retarding the plan of campatg ngninst the treaty is .said to have followed a . series of conferences and en exchange of letters between him and several men in and out of the senate and close to Mr. Wtl non. One of those from whom the laaho senator is understood have sought the views of the for' mrr President Is Bernard M. Bar' i'ch, of New York. Another said to have been in correspondence wu.i Mr. Borah on the subject is Gorman uavis, jormert unaer-see retary or state. In these exchanges, Mr, Borah is said to have received information which convinced him that Mr. Wil. sen and lie, despite their differ .nces over the league of nations, are irt complete sympathy on many 'joints involved in thJe four power treaty discussions. , plan originally proposed and once approved by the house, finally was agreed to today by republican members of the ways and means committee. It was Introduced later in the. house by Chairman Fordney. who announced that it would not be called up until next Monday, if then. 4 Passage of the bill was predict ed by Mr. Fordney. His opinion appeared to be shared by members of the house generally, some, of whom said that on the. final vote party lines would disappear. There was some speculation in house lob bies ami corridors as to President Harding's views of the compromise plan and also as to whether he would find occasion to express those views before the house voted. Chairman Fordney still declined to say whether h had discussed the compromise with the executive. At the white House it was said that Mr. Harding had not studied, and consequently had not formed an opinion of the bank loan pro vision. He was represented, how ever, as maintaining the same position that he did when he wrote Mr. Fordney onvFebruary IS that the bonus either should be paid by a sales tax or the legislation postponed. THINK THAT HARDINU WILL NOT OBJECT. Some of the majority members of the committee, believe that since the new plan defers for three years any large drain on the fed eral treasury the President will not object to it. They say the compromise will enable needy vet erans to obtain cash without the necessity of imposing additional taxes on the general ptlbllc. Mr. Fordney said the entire ways and means committee would meet on Saturday when the demo crats would have an opportunity to pass Judgment on the bill. Aside from the substitution of the bank loan provision for the cash payment plan, the bill as in Vocational training. Farm and home aid. Ijind settlement. fliTIM TK COST rilOBLKMATlCAL The ultimate cost of the bonus to the government, It was said, yould depend upon the number of men selecting each of the options. It was estimated that the Immed iate cash payment to those entitled to not more than $50 each would be around $16,000,000. The final cost might range all the way from $1,000,000,000 to $4,730,000,000, the maximum figure being predict ed upon all of the veterans select- certiftcate and holding them un til maturity or until their death. The adjusted service certificates would bt- dated October 1, is:z ; would mature in 20 years or at the death of the veteran and in either case, would have a face value equal to the sum of U ) the ad justed service credit of the veter an increased by 25 p cent plus (2) interest thereon for 20 years at the rate of 4 1-2 per cent com pounded annually. The total amount would be "approximately equal to 3.015 times the adjusted service credit of the veterans." This credit would be figured on the basis of $1.25 for each day of over-seas service and $1 for each day of home service, but in no event could the credit exceed $500 in case bf a veteran who perform ed no over-seas service and 1825 in the tase of a veteran who serv ed over-seas.
