ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., April 27.—
The United States Chamber of Com-
merce would go on record as opposed
to the granting of bonus to soldiers
who served in the World War, by
adoption of a resolution submitted for
action by the resolutions committee at
the initial session of its eighth annual
convention here today.
The resolution, as presented, declar-
ed “that not only half a million ne—
groee in the South, who probably
would receive $500 or $600 each, would
immediately quit work until the money
was spent.’ but predicted there would
be generally “an orgy of spending.”
‘that labor would be disorganized and
production decreased.
The Chamber also received for cop-
sideration a repOrt of its national com-
mittee (in/European finance, in which
it was asserted that while American
bankers and business men are friendly
toward aiding in the rehabilitation of
Europe by private investment, no such
action can be looked for until peace
has been formally concluded and the
United States Government has adopt-
ed a definite policy of sanction and co-
operation.

income taxes “90 that large investors
