WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.—Con- gress has voted immediate payment of the veterans' bonus by huge majorities, more than the two- thirds needed to override a Presi- dential veto. The House today accepted the Senate’s baby bond payment plan by a vote of 346 to 58. The Senate had previously approved it 74 to 16. Speaker Byrns signed the bill immediately and sent it back to the Senate for Vice-President Gar- ner's signature. After that it goes to the White House. No hint was given as to the Chief Executive's action. He vetoed a bonus bill last session. Three Per Cent Bonds The baby bond bonus plans calls for the starting of payment to vet- erans on their certificates on June 15 of this year. Payment would be made in three per cent bonds of $50 denomination, the uneven amounts being paid in cash. Under the bill all interest is cancelled as of September 30, 1931. It was after that date that vet- erans were allowed to borrow up to 50 per cent of their certificates. Prior to that -certificate holders were allowed to borrow only a small amount annually, not ex- ceeding a total of 21 per cent. If interest has not been paid on loans previous to September 30, 1831, it will not be cancelled. However, most loans and interest were deducted when the 50 per cent ‘loan was allowed. an Associated Press staff camera- supetstructure visible cver the foamy breakers on the spit.

In those old chival- rous days the kings were not only rulers of the country; they were the first warriors of the land. Today a King sits on the throne of England who approximates in some measure that high ideal. He can with justice be called a warrior king, for he spent four years of his life, from 1914 to 1918, on many bat- tlefronts. He is the first British mon- arch since George II, at the battle of Dettingen, in 1743, to take part in armed conflict. Memories Revived He revivifies the memory of war- rior kings like William the Conquer- | or, Henry II, Edward I, Edward III, and Henry V, who led the chivairy of England against Wales, Scotland, Ireland and France until the little Kingdom of England had absorbed the three first and was secure from attack 1rom the last. The Prince of Wales, England, was 20 years old when war broke out. He immediately left his round of social pleasures and duties, and went to the battlefront as a staff officer. He was almost 25 when he left the scene of conflict, having spent four years amid the horrors of war. Almost every battlefront saw his slim, boyish uniformed figure.

PARIS, Jan. 22.—The government of Premier Laval went down today as he and his ministers resigned in face of political dissensions. Immediate cause of Laval’s over- throw was thé withdrawal of sup- port by the radical Socialist party factions. Premier Laval has been under fire since he and Sir Samuel Hoare of England set up a plan to settle the Ethiopian trouble which met with opposition in both apuntries. Hoare already has lost his position as Foreign Secretary and been re- placed by Anthony Eden. Laval has been threatening to resign for some time. - eee MEXICO, D. F, Jan. 22—The|
