With all this burden upon him he
paid close attention to complaints

The Wadsworth Bill.
the BdItor Of THE TINES:

To the Editor OF THE TIM ES:
While the Wadsworth pay bill Is
under discussion, would II not be ad-
yisable for Congress, before passing
the bill, to consider its purpose? AS l
understand II, II is designed to assist
the army man to meet the existing
cost OF living.
The Wadsworth pay bill is good,
but it's not good enough. Its an in
Justice to the man who did his bit
and is now discharged. His financial
problems were greater during the war
than those of the regular army man
now. Particularly the man who serv-
ed as an officer.
Now that the army is back to a
peace-time strength, quarters are be-
coming available for officers's fam
ilies. They have the privilege OF pur-
chasing at the colnmissary at much
lower cost than elsewhere. True, we
had the same privilege during the
war, but conditions were such that
we could not avail ourselves of II.
] believe that the Wadsworth pay
bill should be amended so as to make
Il effective since April 9, 1917
