NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS Senate Passes Bonus Bill After Rejecting the Cash Option Amendment' v By EDWARD W. PICKARD T LAST the American ex-service man who fought In the World wor seeing assured of receiving a bonus, or ns he prefers to call It, an , adjusted compensation. The senate on Wednes day passed the bill essentially as It was adopted- by ? the house, and In i both case? the. ranjorlty' was so great tbat there la no doubt It would l>e repassed over a presidential veto. But the bonus provided for Is hot in cush, so It may be Mr. Coolldge can see his way clear .to approval of the rteasure. He, like President Harding, was op posed to a cash bonus for the pay ment of whteb no special financial plan was ofTered. ? According to the present measure, InBtettd of cash the former service man will receive a twenty-year en dowment Insurance certificate on which he can obtarn a loan after two years, equal to 00 per cent of the current cash value of the policy. This loan will be obtained through a bank~whlch will be reimbursed by the government In the event or. , A few of his sentences were: i "tou 5s(c* me whiif.' .'Influence legali zation of 2.75 per cent beer woiyd have on general prohibition enforce ment.

The satis fled man becomes the good citizen. And. I say that this prohibition of today has caused the. utmost In dis satisfaction," , "No pne wants the saloon. No one will be foolish enough to try to \re pefil the eighteenth amendment. What we who plead for 2.75 per cent beer want to do Is to get the good that lies in temperance and rid ourselves of tfie evils of the present, prohibition."

Lewis, a consulting pe troleum engineer,- upheld Former Sec retary Denby's policy of getting the naval reserve oil out of Teapot Dome and Into storage as expeditiously as possible. H6 said : "If Teapot were rhpldly developed today, the recoverable oil could be got out In two years. Otherwise, with the gas pressure exhausted, 4t would take twenty to fifty years and be very ex pensive. The loss "of gas pressure would, in short, unfit Teapot for an emergency." Mr. Lewis said the amount of oil in Teapot had proved "very disap pointing"? 12,000.000 to 24,000,000 of barrels Instead of the bureau of mines' ^estimate of 135,000,000. WHILE the Borah committee was hearing stories of the allegpd plot to bring about the Indictment of Senator Wheeler In Montana, the same topic was brought up before the Brookhart committee. John S. Glenn Of Nashville, Tenn., told the ' latter committee the first move to "get" Wheeler was engineered by W. J, Burns and Mai Daugherty.. Speuker Oiiiett of the house appeared volun Airll.v before the committee nnd ex ploded the sensational testimony of ?apt. H. L Scalfe concerning a "trunk pill of whisky" which Scnlfe hnd mure tfinn intimated was sent to Mr. Otl Utt's office. ' "1 J Harry Daugherty. helng now free to I tilk. made a red hot speech In Colum lifci In which he denied flatly much of I tfle testimony heard by the Wheeler 1 committee. HI* most significant state- < ment w as I hat he had given up his ' cabinet post rather than "contribute J to a treasotjohle cause." Flies of the ' Department of Justice, he said, con- 1 tained "abundant proof of the plans, purposes nnd hellish designs of the communist Interna: lonale." "Bear In mind," he added, "that the | flies which I refused to deliver to the Wheeler investigating committee at the time tn\ resignation was request ed were demanded hy Rrnokhiirt nod Wheeler, two I'nlted States senators who Spent Inst summer in Iiusstn with their soviet friends ? -those same soviet ! and comnronlsr leaders ?w}ia - preach destruction of constitutional gpvern ment, destruction even of human 'life." PRESIDENT COOLIDGE traveled to New York lust week and spoke at the annual luncheon. of the Associ ated Press. The more Important of his statements related directly, to Eij ropepin affairs.

He also Indorsed the Harding proposal for American adherence to the world court. , The President touched oh the desire for profits and the quest for easy money, revealed In current govern ment 'Investigations, as symptomatic of the morbid IflnanclaJ state of mind brought on by the 'war, and continued : "From all of this tiVfirdldneas the af fairs of government, pf .cpurse^^wifr. feretl. In some of It a few publlp offi cers-were guilty jMirWetpants. -But the' Wonder Is not that this was so much or so. ma^y, rather that it has beeri so little and so few. ?!The encouraging thing at , present Is the evidence of a well nigh com plete return to norm#! methods of ac-. tion, and a sane public opinion. -The gravity of guilt of 'this kind. Is fully realized and publicly reprehended. There Is an exceedingly healthy dis position to uproot It altogether, and administer punishment wherever com petent evidence of guilt can be pro duced. Thaft I am doing and propose to continue." 0 ? ? REALIZING that economic relations betw^eh Japan ?nd,j Atpferlcp ' are far more vliaf to the fonner than to the latter, Japan's prlv^/councll Is un derstood to have Indorsed the govern ment's conduct in the immigration ex clusion matter. That Is, continued, protest against the American exclu sion act but no retaliation. The Japa nese were still hoping that President Coolldge would vettf the measure, nod this he whs asked to do by a great mass meeting in Osaka. Ambassador Hiinlhara, meanwhile, explained to congress that the words "grove conse quences" In his note were not meant to convey anything In the nature of a threat, but Representative Johnson, chairman of. the 'houae^.Qommlttee on lmmlgratlojp^.repUed with a statement that' live ?ctTo{ri o't oongress had been assured before' the note was written'' and tjiat therefore the passage of the* exclusion clause was not due to re^ sentment against the ambassador's language.
