MELLON LOADS ‘BONUS’ BURDEN ON CONGRESS Secretary of Treasury Says He Is Neutral Toward exYanks’ Bill. ‘NOT ARGUING MERITS’ WASHINGTON', March IS— Responsibility for a soldier ‘‘bonus" has been put squarely up to Congress by Secretary of the Treasury Mellon in a letter to Representative James A. Frear of Wisconsin, replying to the recent bitter personal attack on him by the Congressman for alleged criticism of the ‘‘bonus.” Secretary Mellon declared, In all his communications with the House Ways and Means Committee, he bad not attempted to argue the merits of the “bonus,” but merely had Indicated the treasury’s view of its cost and financial ■onsequences. He also took occasion to deny he has recommended any general .sales tax or any particular taxes to pay the “bonus.” Referring to Frear’s Ironical Insinuation the Treasury did not object to paying out $3,000,000,000 to settle cancelled war contracts or the so-called railroad funding bill, Mr. Mellon said. Neither question was in any way analogous to the “bonus." He added the Government did not pay $3,000,000,000 for cancelled war contracts, as Frear suggested, but on the contrary, war contracts amounting to more than $3,700,000,000 were settled at a total cost of approximately $500,000,000.

SAYS “BOXTS” IS I r TO CONGRESS. “Whether or not there is to be a soldiers' ‘bonus’ is a question for which Congress will assume responsibility," declared Mr. Mellon. “For the Treasury I have attempted to point out the necessity of meeting by taxation the cost ot whatever ‘bonus’ may be adopted and th% dangers of attempting to provide for a ‘bonus’ by borrowing or by makeshift measures. “As I think it was made clear to the committee and the country, I have not recommended any particular taxes, •cough I have, at the request of the com nuteee, suggested several possible sources of additional revenue that would be available if Congress should decide to grunt a soldiers’ ‘bon'us,' and. In the connection, have given the Treasury’s estimates as to the yield of such additional taxes. “I gather from your letter you are under some misapprehension also as to the Treasury’s position with respect to a sales tax. The Treasury has not recommended any general sales tax. Asa matter of fact, I am not in favor of a general sales tax if it is to be imposed in addition to all existing taxes, unless made necessary by an emergency in the revenues, such as would arise through adoption of the ‘bonus’ measure.” SHOWS WAR DEBTS PAID BY COMPROMISE. In connection with the settleme it of cancelled war contracts, Mr. Mellon cited a letter recently received from Acting Secretary of War Wainwrlght in which ! it was pointed out the War Department \ bad settled for about 13 cents on the dollar. “From this it appears that the payments which were actually made on ac-. count of cancelled war contracts represented, for the most part reimbursement to contractors for actual expenditures incurred in reliance upon war contracts,” Mr. Mellon added. “The so-called railroad funding bill has never become a law," he continued, “and in any event would not have appropriated any money out of the Treasury. Its purpose was simply to finance settlement of Government obligations arising out of Federal control through the sale of railroad securities already owned by the Government, and it since become unnecessary with the change in market conditions which has made it possible to dispose of these railroad securities at par and accrued Interest through the Investment markets.” Secretary Mellon Ignored the personal reference made to him by Representative Frear, confining his letter to correcting statements concerning his position on the “bonus.”—Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledge Company.

LONDON, March 18. —“We are extending th solidarity of the working class toward world revolution, for that is our object,” declared Chairman McManus of the British Communists, In a speech at a conference of that organizatoin today.

HOLDS NEAR BEER MAKING PROCESS CONTRARY TO LA W Lesh Says Making Real Article and Then Dealcoholizing It Prohibited. The manufacture of near beer by the process of first mamffarturing real, hon-est-to-goodu?ss, old fashioned beer with a kick and then dealcoholizing it Is illegal in Indiana, according to an opinion given by U. S. Lesh, attorney general, to Bert C. Morgan, Federal prohibition director for Indiana, today. As this Is about the only process near beer can be made by. it means that near beer manufacturers in Indiana will be put out of business if the ruling stands. In the past the Federal prohibition department has been caused no end of annoyance through this process of near beer manufacture for in many instances tbe makers seemed to be possessed of defective memories and would forget to dealeoholize their product. Asa result n lot of Indiana made real beer found its way onto the markets not only for this State but of Chicago and Louisville. In part. Attorney General Lesh’s opinion is as follows: "By both the prohibition act of 1017 and its amendment of 1021, it is provided that ‘it shall be unlawful for any person to manufacture • * any intoxicating liquor, except as in this act provided.’ Section 2 of the act of 1917 provides (hat ‘the words “Intoxicating liquor,” as used in this act, shall be construed to mean ail malt, vinous, or spirituous liquor, containing so much as one-half of 1 per cent of alcohol by volume, or any other intoxicating drink, mixture or preparation of like. nature.' Neither the act of 1917 nor of 1921 contains any proviso, exception or exemption which would permit the manufacture of beer of a higher per cent of alcohol in order that near beer may be manufactured from it. "It is therefore my opinion that the manufacture of near beer by the process of dealcoholizing real beer, is prohibited in Indiana.”

McSweeney Tells of K. of C History Work At the weekly meeting of the Knights of Columbus Luncheon Club yesterday at the Splnk-Arms Hotel, the members were addressed by Edward F. McSweeney, Boston, national chairman of the Knights of Columbus American History Commission. McSweeney told the story of the work in which his committee is engaged, that of rewriting American history free from religious or racial bias and in a truthful and straight forward manner. Mr. McSweeney denied this movement is anti-English, but he said it is proAmerican. "The right of being an American is being taken away from us by the efforts of propagandists, who are trying to convince us that the people of the United States is an Anglo-Saxon people,” he said. In speaking of the te.-m "Anglo-Saxon,” Mr. McSweeney said its meaning is antiAmerican and anti-religious and he ridiculed the probability of finding any great number of people in this country who really were Anglo-Saxon. The speaker was introduced by James E. Deery, national president of the Ancient Order of Hibernians.

SHIVELY SAYS G. 0. P. REVERSES ITSELF OFTEN Basic Idea of League of Nations Forced Upon Republicans. CHRISNEY, Ind., March IS.—Adoption of the basic idea of the League of Nations and a defense of the very policies they so bitterly denounced only two years ago has been forced upon the Republican party, Bernard B. Shively, candidate for the Democratic nomination j for United States Senator, said today at i the all-day Democratic love feast held here and attended by Democrats from Spencer and adjacent counties. Mr. Shively scored the Republican party for its many reversals of program and policies since it came into power two years ago, especially in regard to the country's foreign policy. In part he said: “Never in the history of our country has a political party been compelled to reverse itself as often as has the Republican party since its advent to power and especially is this true when applied to its foreign policy. EFFORT TO REPUDIATE WILSON FAILURE. “Every step they have taken to repudiate Mr. Wilson has proven a failure. Every step they have taken to emulate him has been right, and that means practically all of them. “Two years ago hatred was substituted for reason and truth. “The League of Nations was never defeated. In fact It was never an issue. You can’t defeat a great principle or cause with a lie. You may delay its onward march, but nothing more. •‘The league was builded on the rocks. The assaults upon it have failed. Its principal defatuers, the round robin warblers, are now placed in the very cm - barrassing positiwn of trying to defend what they yesterday decried. ‘ “Even if we admit all the virtues that the most zealous sponsors for it claim, then the work of the Washington conference could In no way compare to that of the league. WAR PREVENTED BY LEAGUE OF NATIONS. “In Its first two years the league actually has prevented war, and it did so in a peaceful way. not by a show of arms, but ny use of financial and economic pressure. “The settlement of the controversy t.etweon Sweden and Finland over the strategic Aaland Islands was the direct block to actual hostilities. “The quarrel between Poland and Finland for a time threatened to set the world on fire. But the league, the Wilson league. Interfered to halt the ambitious of Mars. "For a time the Silesian dispute threatened war. but it, too, was settled by th.> i league. So, too, was the Jugo slavia and j Albanian quarrel. While today the league lis handling the dispute between Chile jand Bolivia. | “In this two years the merit of Article 1 10 has been absolutely vindicated 1 y Jugo Slavin. Here Is an Instance wherein tlit* lnvafiing host was driven back without the summoning of a soldier. “The settlement of any one of these disputes Justifies the existence as well | ns the wisdom of the league. | “When those nations whose applications are pending, comprising about ten. are admitted, together with Germany and Hungary, who should have been members | long ago, then will we have the pleasure of enjoying our isolation with such select ■ friends ns Mexico. Turkey and Russia."
