Wpdnesdny, March 8, 'is the date set by Prime Minister Lloyd Geerge for fulfillment of his ultimatum te Austen' Chamber lain, .according te a report in parlia mentary circles. If by that day he has net received satisfactory assurances of the loyal support of the coalition Con Cen sen ntives, it is said he will present te the King his formal resignation of the premiership, which he is new fig uratively carrying in bis pocket.

GILBERT Staff Correspondent Kvenlnc 1'uMlr T.edirefG Cowrieht, lttt, Vy I'ublle J,elecr Comnei Washington, March 3. If the Heuse; leaders are correctly informed, I'rcsU dent Harding has committed hlmscli te the Benus Bill in its latest form, ij the laxpajcrs wish te rcnpe n burden! of several billions at the end of three! j cars for the raising of which no pH vision is mnde they will linve te defcai the bill in the Senate. The Heuso lenders nre proceeding with n little caution, ns thcy nre afraid of the taxpayers, and they de net in- tend te rush the Benus Bill through! under n special rule. They will allow It te wnit for a couple of weeks te giv me puenc a cnance te renct te It. II the pretest nsninst the bonus in its infest form should be us great ns it has been in nil previous fernw. then the hill will probably be held up in the Senate. The latest bonus nropesnl is un "aftcj me the deluge" kind of legislation l'resideut Hnrdlng's position has all nleng been that he would accept no Benus Bill which did net provide reve nue with which te ny the heldlerw. He was cnually opposed te issuing bends td pay additional compensation te the mU diers. . : T nnpnTni nniiiin nsi s . W MUS BILL RAISES BILLIONS Merely Delays Burden Let us see hew Congress btccrs be tween thce two dunger points. It plans; n bonus which requires no cash pay ments, nt least, only small cash pay mentH en the "Oh. it is such n little; one" principle. Then it commits the Government's credit te the payment ej leans the beldlcrs arc permitted te no ne no getiato nt the banks, the call upon the Government' for funds net te ceme this year, but three years hence. Yeu sec this is net any bill which binds the Government te payments without providing the taxes te raise the money, net this year, that is te say. for nil it does is bind the Government te meet un amount variously estimated at from one te four and one-half billion three years ftetn new. In the meantime: the soldicre borrow from the banks. The theory is that the taxpayer only worries about next year's taxes. If h harie'"d!g'"ddwFin"liJH pocket thrc years hence he does net mind it. And, of course, you nre net committing the" Government te lurye payments without providing revenue, if you postpone the payment beyond the present fiscal yen and only require them three ycart hence. And again, the Government is no! borrowing te pay the bonus if it issucl paper behind which stands the Govern incut credit and allows the soldiers ti borrow en that paper. Premises Same As Bends Virtually what it is proposed te tin is te put out the United States' prom iscs te pay in the hands of the seldicH and make them negotiable nt the banks. Just hew this differs from the proposal te issue bends and give them te the sol tilers, it is hnrtl te see. The different is one of name- but names aiu every thing te the politicians.
