He has walted for montha cere fully avoiding the least show of es outlive interference. His ire was finally arouned by the eagerness with which congress took up the bonus legisiation tn the face of the protests of Becretary of.the Treasury Mellon and other government fiscal experts. Republican senate leaders today were making plans to carry into ef. therm at his visit to the capitol yee until the president's message has been received, leaders said. The message, it is expected, will include: A recommendation that the soldier bonus legislation be deferred for the present, with detailed reasons why Harding thinks this course wise and & Promise to the exservice men that the administration ts still committed to the principle of adjusted compen- sation for soldiers and will make good his promise at @ more favor: able time. : A suggestion that the senate “ex- pedite” the tariff and tax legislation, which Harding will point out ts the real business for which the session was called, by taking a series of |threeday recesses. Harding takes |the position that by thus limiting the session's work to its primary tasks, performance of these tasks will be hastened, rather than de layed. A recognition of the postion of the | “agricultural bloc” in the senate, | whose members are “standing pat" |for enactment of emergency relief le ion for farmers before they | consent to any recess, Harding is | expected to advise immediate atten- tion to such legislation.
