The vote came after a session marked by hot debate for and against Senator Reed's amendment, a pro- popal to continue the excess profits tax as a means of financing the “five- way”. adjusted compensation plan. President Harding was assailed by nator Stanley, democrat. Ken- tucky, for what he described as the “order” given to the Senate to recom- mit,the soldier bonus.bill. Senator Stanley declared there was only one power on earth that could have made the President “turn his back™ on the 4,000,000 former service men. That power, he said, was “the ‘silent, insidious and pitiless power of mammon that knew what it could do, that understood its authority.” None of the crowned heads of Europe would have dared to do what the President did, Senator Stanley said, adding that the event would go down as a “blot on history."” N Oraterical Tirade. - “In Tecording It,” Senator Stanley said, “historians, if they have pity, will write with a tear; if they have ‘| patriotism they will write with shame and contempt. “The senator from Missouri (Mr. Reed),” the speaker continued, “has given you (the republicans) an op- portunity to show whether you repre- sent your constituencies or whether you represent Wall ‘street by the proxy of Melion and the President; giving you an opportunity to say whether you give up to the proud traditions of the republican party that has always been the friend of the’ soldier, or whether you live up 1o’ the plane of the present organiza- tiomthat is the most superserviceable slaye that Mammon ever hau since the children of lsrael broke up thut frolic around the golden calf in the neighborhood of Sinal.” President Defended.

He said nearly one-third of . the - democratic senators either voted or were paired to recommit the bill:and that’in the face of this they weres now charging the republican with being “the tools of Wall stree! ', Setigtor Watson reviewed the de- mands of thé American Legion and then counted¢a total of $338,000,000, which, he said, had been dispensed by states under republican direction a3 borlusés to the former service men. He reviewed the actions of states un- ‘der*@emocratic rule, and shouted: : Demecrats Scored. ““What have the democratic states done: for the former service men? ‘They have done nothing; not a dollar - have they given. They have not shown signs of knowing that thers were ex-soldiers. Yet you democratic senators come and .moan that the republicans t with the for- mer defenders of the country.” | The' soldier bopus was advocated, i ‘additjop: to Senator Reed, by Sen- atgr’ Heflin, ‘democray;’ Alabama, whe
