ence of nntlotial and state executives
of the Veterans nf Foreign Wars
hero today.
Immediately following Colonel
Forbes' nddress and a discussion
which resulted In strong approval
of a sales tax tho executives unan-
imously adopted a resolution Indors-
ing a sales tax with foodstuffs

necessary revenue to finance the
bonus.
C. Hamilton Cook Huffalo N. Y.
national commander of tho disabled
American veterans of the AVorld
war who was attending tho confer-
ence by Invitation said that his or-
ganization would take Immediate
action to support tho resolution.
Legion .Men Not There.
The American Legion which Is
the largest of the "veterans' organ-
izations was not ropresontfd at the
meeting.
"This means that tho bonus hill
li liable to be iKissud at tho com-
ing (.esHlon of congress" Col. T. I
Huston. New York City national
commander of the Veterans of For-
rlmi Wars saitl after the meeting.
Colonel Forbes called President
Hardline by long distance telephone
shortly before going Into the confer-
ence nnd in the course of his address
referred to his conversation with the
president.
"I culled him because it was
suggested that the bonus might be
touched upon" he said. "I wish
you knew tha pulae of Harding. I
wish you knew his Innermost
thoughts. I wish you knevr how he
loves the former service men.
"Harding Is not opposed to n bon-
us bill. He will never be opposed
to a bonua. If they will provide a
means for financing it. AU sorts of
legislation have been sought; nil
sorts of means have been mentioned
and the simple means of all those
that have been brought to my at-
tention is the sales tax to meet thla
obligation.
"If congress had brought to the
president tha Holution of the finan-
cial problem of this additional fin-
ancial responsibility he would have
signed the bill. I believe the sales
tax Is the means whereby this obli-
gatnn may be paid and the sales tax
is the answer to the problem of pay-
ing the bill."
