“~, / 4 se BONUS T0 SOLDIERS ~ ENDANGERS NATION | HOUSTON ASSERTS Says Proposals Made Would Hit Every Man, Woman i and Child. WASHINGTON, March 11. — En- actment of any of the soldier-aid Proposals by Congress would threat- Mn serious consequences to the finan- fal welfare of the nation, Secretary of the Treasury Houston tol the House Ways and Means Committee to-day. “In whatever way you approach these proposals, they are certain to increase the burdens of every man, woman and child in the United States.” Houston said. A bond issua of $2,500,000,000 ‘might result in disaster,” Houston aid, Increased taxes was suggested by the Secretary as “the least harmful way,” but he said the proposed ex- penditure of two billion dollars “would be a seriots one for people to confront.” “The present financial situation is not critical,” Houston said. “Kcon- omy by the people, avoidance of waste in expenditures and economical ap- propriations by Congress will nat- urally relieve the situation.” An attempt to sell bonds at existing rates of interest would be difficult, he sald. “I don't know if we could float bonds at a higher rate of interest,” he told the committee. “If such bonds were floated it would tend to decrease valies of present obligations.” Further credit expansion, which has been a factor in the upward trend of living costs, would be inevitable if another bond issue were approved, he sald. “The proposal to float addi- tional bonds would set up grave sit- uations which I am not sure we could handle.” The issuing of bonds would be “a much more serious proposition than it was during the war,” Gov, Harding of the Federal Reserve Boani told the committee. Harding took issue with statements of representatives of Ee ae Aid Bee: ‘THE EVENING WORLD, THU soldier organizations that bonds is- sued to soldiers would “It they could afford to loi bonds they don’t need them, clared. “An issug of smal! bonds fe adjusted compen#ition is only slight- ly less victoug than tlre issuance of greenbacks."
