WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18, 1017 SENATE UNANIMOUS ON GREAT WAR BILL Seren Billion Dollar Measure Passed by Vote of 84 t0 0 ‘Washington, April 18.—All the fac- tions in the senate, which had had their varying views on the proper American policy before war was de- clared against the German govern- ment, united late yesterday to push, through by a unanimous vote the ad- ministration’s first important measure for prosecuting that war. By 84 votes to 0, the greatest bond bill in the history of the world, authorizing credit aggregating $7,000,000,000 was passed after a single day’s debate. Al- though the vice president appointed conferees last night to expedite the fina] stages of the bill, it is believed that the house will accept the sénate amendments without Insisting upon a conference. The bill had already 'passed the house by & unanimous vote. The great measure carrying the | provision for a loan of $3,000,000,000 to the Allles was under discussion for just seven hours. Whether a confer- ence is held or not in a few hours the executlve brarch of the govern- ment will have the great war chest at itg disposition to conduct' the war. The dominant thouzht in the debate was that in the inability of the nation to supply men at once for the fighting lines, money should be America’s im- mediate contribution to her allies. The discussion was totally devoid of partisan expression. Every senator speaking anounced staunch intention to aid the government in prosecuting the war to a speedy conclusion. While the debate was progressing Secretary McAdoo conferred with the advisory council of the Federal Re- serve Board about the bond issue. Among the members of the advisory council who were present was J. P. Morgan of New York. Mr. McAdoo told the members of the council that he would advise with' the leading financiers of "the country as,to the methods to: be followed in the flota- tion of the bonds. Committes Amendments Accepted. All the amendments recommended yesterday by the finance committee were adopted without division by the senate, as were other changes of a verba] sort. The substantive changes adopted were accepted for the com- mittee by Chairman Simmons, so that they caused no division, One of these, proposed by Mr. Weeks of Massachu- setts, a republican of thé committee, gave the duration of the war as the time limit within which the -author- ized bonds might be converted if sub- sequent 4ssues carried a higher rate of interest. The bill had lmited this conversion privilege to Dec. 31, 1918. Another amendment proposed by Mr. Weeks and accepted by Mr. Sim- mons Mmited the amount of receipts from the bonds to be deposited in banks and trust companies, not af- fillated with the federal reserve sys- tem, to the amount withdrawn from each of these banks for subscription to the loan. Mr. Weeks explained that the proposal to deposit with non- member banks was intended to en- courage their participation in the loan and that his amendment simply would prevent financial dislocation. The committee also accepted an amendment proposed by Mr. Pom- erene of Ohio exempting the proposed bond issues from taxation by\munici- palities as well as by state and federal governments. Divergent opinions /were expressed | as to both the fiscal and international policies embodied in the bill, but those expressing these views agreed that they had no desire to’thwart the ad- ministration’s purpose and none 'of | these major differences was forced to a vote. Mr. Stone of Missouri, chair- ! man of the committee on foreign re- lations; Mr. Borah of Idaho, and { athers thought that the amount of the | needed war funds to be raised by | immediate taxation should be in- { creased, to’lighten the burden on pos- terity. . The only fight of the day came over two amendments proposed by Mr. Weeks with the same idea, one pro- viding for the termination of the bonded debt in twenty years and one in thirty years. The first amend- ment was defeated by a vote of 40 to 40, the second by a vote of 37 to 42. | When the tle vots was ahnounced, tha i vice president said: “Without the vote of the vice pres- ident, by the vote of 40 to 40 the amendment is lost. The vice pres- ident knows nothing about it and re- fuses to vote.” No, Discrimination in Banks. Both Mr. Stone and his colleague, Mr. Reed, spoke against the commit- tee's amendment permitting the de- posit of bond receipts in banks not in the federal reserve system. Mr. Reed sald that the system had been created with great care and hopes had been built on the assumption that all banks ultimately would join it. He said that the system should be made attractive to outside banks by such favors as permitting the deposit of government | funds only in member banks. This suggestion, however, was opposed by Mr. Lodge of Massachusetts, a repub- lcan of the finance committee, who “The United States is now at war. This bill is drawn for the sole purpose of enabling the United States to pros- '| ecute that war with vigor to a success- ful termination. It is not intended to encourage one system of banks at the expense of others, and any such thought ought to be forgotten.” Mr. Borah and Mr.. Cummins °f Jowa—hoth progressive republicans— expressed disapproval of the plan to take up the bonds of the allied powers with American bonds. Both senators said that it was well enough to give money freely to further the common end, ‘but they thought this exchange of credits would perpetuate the parti- | ctpation of the United States in toreign i alliances after the war, and might have a bad effect on the tradftional IAmerlcn.n foreign policy. MAKES A VERY STRONG STATEMENT < i Mrs, Roseland Andrus, 46 Maple St., Says She is Very Glad to Be Able to Indorse the. Greatcst of Tonfcs, Lax-a-Tone. A IMAPLE STREET LADY PO e ' The sale of Lax-a-Tone is increas- ing in New Britain week by week and this remedy is fast gaining the confidence of the New Britain public. We have never advertised Lax-a-Tone in a sensational manner:. We have never made any rash claims for it, and it has never been placed in the cure-all columns in any place it has been. We have demonstrated it months at a time in a city and have allowed its own merits to place it in the success column. We are not afraid to put a representative of the com- pany in a town and stand behind what we advertise. This remedy has been allowed to advertise in papers that have censored all medicine adyertise- ments. It was ven the cause of an editorial comment by one of the large papers in the Northwest on account of it being cleanly advertised. We don’t want people to buy Lax-a-Tone that are suffering from incurable diseases, and we don’t want your money unless we' honestly believe that it will help you. Mrs. Andrus says: “I have suffered with dizzy spells, gas and bloat, for over two years and found nothing that would give me the small- «st’ semblance of relief. . I felt run duwn and tired out and needed a gen- eral tonic that was a builder and I am pleased to say that Lax-a-Tone has ac- | complished just what I wanted it to. What more can one say?” Now if you are weak and run down ; and want a tonic that will build you up after the grippe and a hsavy cold, if you are suffering from constipation, slck,ll'eudu:he. have indigestion, feel all run down and ‘want a builder that will tone up the nerves, try this tonic, It is purely herbal and will not hurt the teeth or harm you in any way. The Lax-a-Tone man is at the Economy New England Drug Co., 365 Main street, where he is introducing this remedy.to the New Britain public, e — “It would be cheaper,” sald Mr. Cummins, “to give this money out- right than to lend it and hold it.” They made no attempt, however, o embody their views in amendments which they admitted would be re- Jected, and which might complicate the situation. A 5 “I don’t share the belief of those who think the Central Powers are now exhausted,”: said Senator Kellogg of Minnesota, in his maiden - speech. | | “Their territories are still intact. They have n forced to borrow money for the w from ‘their own people, and this gives them ~economically the strongest position. The world is stin confronted /by the greatest. .military power it has ever seen. “To the Teutonic east is Russia. I do not wish to say anything indeli- cate, but our hope for success in thtd war lles in the great heart'of demoo- racy, and this is not by any cotm- try in a day. In Russia democracy is flanked on one side by monarchial in- trigue and on the other by socialism and anarchy. France is using all her resources for the struggle, but how long she can last no one.can say. “We are now at war after two years of discussion. We should carry on that war, now we are in it, with all our resources and all our power. I am not disturbed by the feeling that we are departing from American tra- ditions by alliances in Europe. When fighting in Europe we can only fight in concert with the European eon-[ tries already fighting the same enemy. | Nor am I disturbed by thoughts ot ' entanging alliances after the war. In warring thus against tyranny we shall not attempt to say that France shall make péace only when she repossesses | Alsace-Lorraine, Italy the Trentino, | and Russia the Golden Horn. These | are questions with which we do not entangle ourselves.” Penrose Forgets Politics. In announcing his support of the bill, Senator Penrose said. in the ccurse of the debate: “The majority and minority are united in a stngle patrotic purpose of sustaining. the ' government. There. fore the minority will support this bill despite any views of its mem- bers.” While it was well known, he said, that he differed with President Wil son in respect to his Mexican policy and other matters, the senator said that all such things were laid aside and that he ngw stood behind the president “‘to bring this war to a suc- l cessful conclusion.’ Many other senators made brief speeches explaining their attitnde, Scnator Hoke Smith insisted that the Allles did not want a gift from the United States to maintain their armies and their ships. Senator Calder of New York fa- vored an issue ef six billions in bonds and only one million of treasury cer- tificates. He feared further increases in taxation might seriously impair industry. “The proposed issues stupendous as they are, will not be a large contri- bution for the American nation,” said Senator McCumber. “Also remem- ber that blood is being poured out in unstinted measure while as yet we cannot give any soldiers. We ought to be mighty Mberal in spending our money when we can take no part in the real battle.” Senator Sterling of North Dakota said that the United States could not render more effective aid than by money. He advocated a gift of $26,- 000,000 to aid the Allles in caring for the Belgians. Senator Smoot said that he had not the slightest doubt but that the $3,- 000,000,000 loan to the Allies would be paid. but if it were not, he said, “every penny will be expended in de- fense of the principles we believe in and are fighting for.” If the presi- dent saw fit to advance Russia a bil- lion dollars and take in return obili- gations if it would establish a repub- lican form of government, he would favor its advancement even thou the United States were not to get back l a cent. !
