VETS' BONUS IS HEADED FOR
ROCKS, BELIEF ... .. j iVlanV KeDUbllCanS Would. Gladly Drop the Measure Payment Out of Foreign Returns Would Mean Little. THREE POSSIBILITIES By MARK SKIXIVAW WASHINGTON, Feb. 28 The bonus is pretty thoroughly on the rocks. There are three possibilities, (1) To leave it 'where it is now and not paso any measure. (2) To pass it through the house in some undesirable form, and let it die in the senate, or be ve toed by Harding. (3) To pass the bonus bill with a vague clause to the. effect that the money shall be paid out of any moneys or securities that may be received from foreign debtors. This would not amount to anything and would be in good faith, because no well informed person expects to ' get from our debtors in the near future any such sum of money as would make an impression on the amount needed for the soldier's bonus. If the soldiers who want the bonus are to wait until the money from our foreign debtors is actually in our government's till, they will wait a lor.:; time. If President Harding sticks to the position he has held in the past, he would veto a bonus bill with the foreign debt clause attached, on the ground that it would not provide the money directly, and would be in the nature of doubtful good faith to tha olaiers. Would Like to Drop It.' If the bulk of the Republican leaders could have their way, probably they would like to drop the bonus bill and forget it. lt has now ceased to hae rmy political value to the party. The ODDOsition that has bepn stirred un is mm- nntpnt nnw than iho nrtvnrapv I or it. . Those among the ex-soldiero and others who want the bonus have been placed in a position where they will have to fight for it. If the bonus should come -now, it would come not in the spirit of a generous gift; it would come, rather, in the spirit of something forced out of an unwilling party. Everybody knows that a gift which is not a gift at all in spirit, but is forced out of the giver unwillingly, does not give rise to emotions of gratitude, but rather to those of resentment. Most of the Republican leaders realize this, and know that there is not any political advantage to be derived from passing the bonus now. Look to Political Record . But against this is the fact that a good many individual members, espe cially of the house, who are coming up for re-election this summer, have made political pledges in their com munities to vote for the bonus. Having made the promise, these members are eager for a chance to make good by getting on the record with a favorable vote. If the Republican party leaders could manage it, they probably would be glad of a solution which would enable these individual members to go on record, but would not lead to the ultimate passage of the bill. As it stands now, from a point of view of politics, the thing for the Republican leaders to do would be to refuse to pass the bonus and take a chance at the coming elections. If thereafter the Republicans are returned to power they could then say that their course had been approved. Could Pass the Buck On the other hand, if the Republicans are not returned to power they could then, after the election and in the interval before the new congress meets, pass the bonus as " a party measure ana tnus put it up to me Democrats. If the leaders who look on the subject from a purely political point of view could have their way, this is probably what would happen. It would not be surprising to see an actual good faith vote on the bonus deferred until after the November elections. Harding's position on the bonus is believed to be one of standing firm on what he has formerly said, namely that there should be no bonus measure which does not carry as an integral part of the bill specific taxes for raising the money. The 6igns are that Mr. Harding seems to be in a mood to resist the somewhat too forceful pressure against him which some of the bonu3 advocates have been giving out publicly. Gets Pretty Stubborn Harding is a man whose temperament looks to compromise and harmony, but at the same time, he is a man who develops pretty stubborn powers of resistance when an attempt is made to force him against his will. Soma of the Republican leaders think that Harding has not handled this matter with the greatest political skill. They say he should have stood pat on the position of opposition to the bonus which he took with so much courage and directness last July. They claim that most of their difficulties arise from the fact that Harding let the friends of the bonus begin to think during the late fall that he had receded from his former position. The whole bonus situation has thrown the Reoublican party leaders into a state of chaos worse, if possible, than they were before. ' (Copyright 1922 by the New York Evening Post.)

HARDING ASKS AID GIVEN TO SHIPOWNERS Administration Plan for Government Aid Presented to
Congress Urges Return to Private Enterprise. STRESSESlMPORTANGE (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Feb. 28. The administration plan for government aid for the American merchant marine was presented to congress today by President Harding with the declaration that the Influence of the United States in world councils is "sure to be measured by that unfailing standard which is founded on a national merchant marine." The president detailed to the two houses, assembled in joint, session, the war-time creation of America's great tonnage an experimental venture, as he described it and then he added: "Having failed at such enormous cost, I bring you the proposal which contemplates the return to private initiative and private enterprise, aided to a conservative degree and safe-1 guarded against the promotion of private greed, and not discouraging the investors hope of profitable investment, which underlies all successful endeavors." Salient. Points The salient points of this proposal, embodied in bills introduced in each house immediately after the president's address, follow: Aid estimated up to $32,000,000 annually to be provided for principally by diversion of 10 percent of the nation's customs receipts; requirements that not more than 50 percent of the immigrants to the United States be transported in foreign ships; sale of the tonnage now held by the shipping board and use of the funds of a construction loan fund; authorization for induction of American merchant men officers and sailors into the naval reserve with the intended allowance in pay.

Americanv Vessels; insurance at no greater cost than is afforded ships under foreign flags. - Stresses Importance Mr. Harding emphasized the importance of a national merchant marine "in view of suspended naval construction," declaring that without it "no nation may hope to hold high place in the world of commerce or be as-i sured of adequate defense. Mr. Harding in recommending the plan for government aid said he foresaw "the stiffest possible competition by the fleets of the maritime nations," and asserted that more than the aid of the government would be necessary. W e need a savoring spirit and a whitened American pride ' and an avowed American determination that we shall become in the main the car rier of our own commerce in spite of all competition and all discourage ment," he continued. "There can be no dispute about the end at which we are aiming." Whether because of the subject or lack of notice as to the definite time, the galleries were not more than twothirds filled. The diplomatic gallery was entirely vacant and even in the public section there were many vacant seats Including some solid rows. Secretaries Denby and Davis, Attorney General Daugherty, and Postmaster General Hays were among the cabinet officers present.

Mrs. Harding smilingly acknowledged the greeting. - . . The president began his address at 12:33 o'clock. The first applause came after he had been speaking 15 minutes when he declared America had the aspiration and determination "to establish a merchant marine commensurate with our commercial importance.' Gets Applause. There was applause when the executive said government officials should travel on American ships. Brief applause also followed statements th?t American railways should not further foreign shipping interests and should be allowed to operate ships in other than coastwise traffic.

PRINCESS IS WEDDED AMID POMP, DIGNITY Princess Mary is Married to Viscount Lascelles Great Crowds Line Streets to See Royal Spectacle.
ROYALTY IS PRESENT , (By Associated Preas) .' LONDON, Feb. 28. Princess Mary, only daughter of King ". George and Queen Mary, was married today to Viscount Lascelles, with all the pomp and dignity befitting a royal wedding. Special trains from suburbs and provinces, as well as charabancs, trams and buses today brought to tho already crowded city thousands of prisons anxious to catch a glimpse of Princess Mary on her wadding morning. C These took their places along tho sidewalks and in other vantage points where they were welcomed by th cold but cheery ones who had been on all night vigil in the most sheltered spots along the route from Bucktrjr- ; ham palace to Westminster abbey. Long before the time for the royal processions there was hardly standing room in Whitehall and on the Mail. There was plenty to occupy the time in watching the movements of the troops , listening to the street musicians mid in buying flowers and souvenirs from the numerous peddlers. . .", Crowds Cheer The ceremony began in Westminster abbey at 11:30 o'clock and soon thereafter the couple were pronounced man and wife, while the chimes of Westminster rang out the happy message and vast crowds gave tumultous greetings. The scene of the ceremony within the historic walls of the abbey was one of impressive grandeur, with the King and Queen and the entire royal household participating and with all ranks represented in the brilliant assemblage, while outside the abbey enthusiastic popular homage was given the bridal pair. The long awaited day found London crowded with excursionists from all parts of the isles and the continent. Americans also were in evidence hundreds having made the voyage to gain a glimpse of the great state function. Crowd Every Nook All these augmented by native Iononers, most of whom took the day off, crowded into every niche and space about Buckingham palace, along the Mall, in Trafalgar square down Whitehall and in the precincts of the parliament buildings and the abbey. Many paid high prices for seats in stands or even standing room in windows flanking the way. , . Hours before the 2,500 guests began assembling in the abbey there were overflows of humanity in everstreet transversing the route. Some, bringing, blankets and food with them, made certain of seeing their princess by keeping all night possession of carefully chosen positions. At 8:45 o'clock general vehicular traffic was diverted from the streets between the palace and the abbey by a force of 8,000 bluecoated and whit gloved police, who lined the royal way crowding watchers back to the curbmgs. The arrival of the guests, who had to be in thei places by 10:30 I o'clock, was the first reward for the occupants of the gaily flagged stands and others who shouldered together about the colorfully decorated abbey area. . Procession of Beauty Only motors and carriages bearing ticket holders were permitted to pass the police lines. The conveyances put down at the abbey doors streams of gorgeously groomed women, myriads t of diamonds, sapphires and 6ther" precious stones flashing from their tiaras, necklaces and bracelets. Their escorts were resplendent in service dress or the velvet breeches, white silk stockings and three cornered hats of court regalia. It was a procession of beauty and elegance. ' Members of the diplomatic corps were shown their seats by the master of ceremonies. Outside Buckingham palace and a few moments later about the abbey, military guards of honor took up their positions, forming a line in front of the police, their tall fur shakos and scarlet and white uniforms making a brilliant spectacle of tho! mile and a half of the thoroughfare. Four Bands Play Two thousand of the king's lifeguardsmen and territorials were paraded for this duty. With them were their four bands, which entertained the crowds until at 11 o'clock, trumpeting from the mounted escort, heralded the departure of the two carriages from Marlborough house carrying Queen Mother Alexandra and Princess victoria, with the queen s suite. - Alexandra was accorded a medlcum of the applause and cheering which the crowds were reserving for the bride. As the carriage rolled by to the jangle of spurs and clatter of hoofs, the guardsmen snapped to "present." giving the royal salute, and the bands blared the queen mother's anthem. There was one minute interlude; then from Buckingham palace at th end of the Mall trundled the three carriages of Queen Mary, the Duke of York. and Princess Henry and Georg?, with the equerries and attendants. Cheer Royalty. Cheers for these members " of th royal family had scarcely abatt d along the elbowing mass now tip-toeing in their eagerness and expectancy when from that portion of the rout-3 nearest the . palace door yard they swelled to a deafening crescendo tts the gilded " glass coach carrying th Princess Mary and her father rumbled through the bronze gates. Before the coach and the two trailing carriages bearing the Princess' ladies in w-aiting and the King's attendant had reached the entrance to the hail, the cheering had spread half vr&'y ' (Continued on Page Pour)
