TWO CENTS
Bonus Bill
Submitted
to Harding
irnate Finance Committee to
Learn Vie hi of President
Before Considering
New Proposal.
Agree on House Plan
Washington, May 2,-1 he sol
iliffi' bonus problem i to be put to
the preident again. This s de
tided today at a meeting of the ten
hie finance committee republican,
who agreed tentatively upon de
tail of a new meature embodying
kubstantiallr the houe bill plan of
hank and government loan on ad
jutted service certificates in lieu of
the original cash bonui proposal.
Senators said they desired to get
the president's views on the newest
bonus proposal, explaining that it
"would be a waste of time to go ahead
with a measure which the president
might disapprove.
Full details of the new meanire
were withheld, but as outlined it
would contemplate no taxes and
aside from adjusted service certifi
cates, it would provide for vocational
training, farm and home aid and cash
payments to veterans whose adjusted
service pay would not exceed $50.
The so-called reclamation section of
the house bill has been eliminated.
' Approval to Be Asked.
President Harding will be urged
to approve the measure in this form
and will be told that it will impose
no heavy burdens on the treasury
during the next three years, while
the present public debt refunding op
erations are in progress. It is the
present thought of proponents that
the ultimate necessary financing can
he done by use of the foreign debt,
though there is a possibility that the
trscaury may have to issue some cer
tificates of indebtedness to cover costs
in the first year or two. unless funds
from the foreign debt become avail
able meantime. . .
. Estimates given to the majority
today by Joseph S. McCoy, the gov
ernment actuary, placed the ultimate
cost of the new bonus plan at ap
proximately $4,000,000.00f. with the
lirst year vost $77,000,000, the sec
ond year $92,000,000 and the third
year, $376,000,000. The large sum
necessary in 1926 is explained by
reason of the fact that the govern
ment would make loans on certifi
cates in that year up to 80 per cent
of the amount of the adjusted ser-
cent. ,
Would Remit T.nana '
' During the first three years banks
would be authorised to loan to vet
erans holding certificates one-half of
the sum' of the adjusted service
-credit. , " v
' The measure to be taken' to the
president is the McCumber plan,
which would provide for immediate
loans to the tveterans equal to 50
uer cent of their adjusted- service pay
at the rate of $1 a day for domestic
service and $1.25 a day for overseas
service. At the end of three years
the 'loan value of the certificates
would be 80 per cent of the adjusted
service pay plus 4 1-4 interest annual-

Russ Oil. Report
Gigantic Industrial Agreement
Signed at Genoa Between
Soict and Shell British
Oil Companies.
Genoa, May 2.-(By A. P.)-Th
Genoa correspondent for the London
Evening News, in a dispatch to his
Saper this afternoon, quotes Col.
toyle, representing the Shell group
of British oil companies and Royal
Dutch interests here, aa denying that
an industrial agreement was signed
Sunday between these interests and
the Russian soviet government as
had been reported.
Ruter's correspondent here says
the Russian delejation to the eco
nomic conference also flatly denied
having made any concession to the
Shell interests.
London, May 2.-(By A. P.)-A
gigantic - industrial agreement was
signed on Sunday at Genoa by repre
sentatives of the Russian soviet gov
ernment and the Shell group of oil
companies, telegraphs the Genoa cor
respondent of the Evening News.
Under the agreement, he writes,
the Shell .croup will control all sales.
and, under certain conditions, all pro
duction of oil in every part of Russia,
for an agreed period. The conces
sion may be renewed by mutual con
sent. Division of Profits.
' Fifty per cent of the net profits
will be allotted to the soviet govern
ment and .the other 50 per cent to
the Shell group. The working of the
oil fields will be administered by the
companies under the provisions of
the Russian juridical code and the
proviso that not more than 50 per
cent of the workers employed shall
be foreigners. .
The correspondent understands
that the Shell combine has arranged
to apply the agreement almost imme
diately to the .Caspian fields, taking
charge of the "pipe line from Baku
to Batum and also to develop the
vast potential fields in Uralsk prov
ince.
Leonid Krassin; the soviet minis
ter of trade, signed the. agreement,
says the dispatch, only after on sew
eral , occasions he had played the
various groups against one another
to obtain better offers for the privi
leges." The fields involved, next to
those of the United States, are the
most prolific in the world.
It is more than possible, adds the
correspondent, that difficult c&mpli
cations may result over the working
of important areas in which the
Standard Oil company had conces
sions prior to the soviet nationali
zation of the fields.
' British Memorandum.
Gerfca, May Z (By A. P.) It
was announced by the British rep
resentatives : here this afternoon
that the memorandum to be handed
to -the Russians "embodies the
maximum the powers are willing
to give the . Russian government
and the minimum which the pow
ers will accept from Russia."
"If the soviet delegates do not ac
cept the general lipes of this docu
ment," it was added, "then it is cer
tain' all negotiations with Russia
will be suspended for some time,
probably until another form of gov
ernment arises in Russia."
.Secret Alliance Charged.
' London, May 2. (By A. P.)-The
Pall Mall Gazette and Globe today
says it has just learned that Italy,
following France's example, has
made a secret political pact with the
Turkish nationalist government at
Angora, "behind Great Britain's
back." ,
"Full disclosure of this has just
been made." says the. newspaper,
"though it has been suspected for
some time, the consequences are
likely to be serious."

Proposals to Avert Catastrope
Adopted by Regular and

", tion Planned.
By Th Adoclattd PreM.
. Dublin, May 2. Representatives of
the- regular and irregular branches of
tne lrisn repuoncan army, at a con
ference yesterday,, signed a statement
suggesting proposals to avert
catastrophe which gives the following
as a basis to tree the situation:
"Acceptance of the factr admitted
on all sides, that a majority of the
people ot Ireland are willing to ao
cept the peace treaty.
.'grce to an election with a view
to forming a government -which will
have the confidence - of the whole
country. ,
' "Army unification on the above
bais." -'..
The statement adds: "If the pres
ent drift is allowed to continue a con
flict between comrades is inevitable.
This would be the greatest calamity
in Irish history and would leave Ire
land broken for generations."
Eamon dc Valera issued yesterday
a detailed explanation of his attitude
at the peace conference last week, m
which he calls the proposal made by
Michael Collins for a plebiscite on the
question 6t acceptance or rejection of
the treaty, one for stone age ma
chincry." ' "
Mr. De Valcra, in his cxnlanation
deals first with his objection to an
election or a plebiscite, except for all
Ireland. He renews his objection to
the existintr voters recister. hurther,
he says, Arthur Griffith's proposal in
volves a breach of the Sinn rem con
vention agreement that not only the
treaty, but the constitution in its
final form, should be before the
electorate when it votes.
It is declared by Mr. De Valcra
that both he and Charles Burgess
recognized in the labor proposals a
basis by which an immediate peace
could be procured, the army united
and a stable executive set up which
would jnjov the confidence of all
section fljf the people.

clined to concede defeat, asserting
that the full returns would show him
the winner.
Indianapolis for New.
The indications are that New lias
carried Indianapolis and most of the
other large cities and eight of the 13
congressional districts. Rcvcridur
ran strong in the Sixth and Niiik
districts and probably defeated Xtw
in a number, of counties therein, if
he did not carry both districts.
Beveridge counted on a big vote
among the farmers, which, however,
did not come up expectations. The
vote in the rural 'districts as light
as in the urban communities, the
farmers sticking to their plowing in
stead of going to the polls.

of Senator New, The latter carried
Beveridge' precinct by a vote ol

precinct of the Eighth, a north side
republican ward, by 236 to 154: SciiJf
tor New carried the first precinct in
the Brightwood railroad shop neigh
borhood by 83 to 65. He carried the
first precinct reporting from the
Thirteenth ward, a stronghold of'
Mayor ShSnk, who advocated Bev
eridge's nomination.
One precinct from South Bend
gave New 77, Beveridge 44. Out
township from Newton, a northern
agricultural county, gave New 46,
Beveridge 23. To precincts at
Bicknell, in Knox county, gave Bev
eridge 39, New 14.
