LEGION TO ASK U. S.

Urges $50 Bonus for Every

indianapolis, Feb. 12-Reversing the
position taken at the organization eau
Gus at st. Louis and refusing longer TO
leave with confidence to the Congress
the discharge of this obligation" as the
Minneapolis convention put it, the ex-
ecutive committee of the American Lc-
rior has come out fatfootedy for cad
justed compensation" for service men
in the late war, amounting to more than
81 900 900 900.
This amount would be distributed on
the basis of one $50 bond OF new
issue for every month Of service.
The Legion might have maintained its
confidence that Congress would even
tually do the right thing without tho
submission to it Of concrete demand
if it had not been for the action of
the Democratic caucus of the House and
certain Republican leaders in declaring
against universal military training,
which the Legion emphatically sup
ports.
This action. following the long delay
and alleged side stepping" in dealing
with the soldiers land settlement bills,
brought matters to head, and at the
meeting here Tuesday afternoon the ex-
ccutivc committee--having the day be-
fore sent the Democratic caucus futile
protest against declaration against
universal training-uhanimous voted
to put the adjustment of compensa :

Comptroller Williams Declares
Big Money Figures Mean Moth

URGE HELP FOR EUROPE
By the Associated Press

Washington, Feb. 12.-Warning that
the prosperity and activity indicated by
banking figures may become artificial
aud deceptive was given today by John
Skelton Williams in his annual report
as comptroller of the currency.
Rcmarking that in 1919 there was not
n national bank failure involving loss
TO drpositors, and that the banking
power of the country has increased 300
per cent in the last thirty years, Mr..
Williams said:
"A large volume Of money cannot
mean increase of real wealth while there
is decrease of production and the ac-
emulation and movement OF securities
and currency represent abnorm0lly in :
Hated values put on diminished supplies
of essentials.
1T is clear that no country can be
enriched by merely increasing prices of
products produced and consumed by its
own people. We might prosper for the
moment if we could sell our products
abroad. at the higher prices and take
payment in gold or in goods at normal
prices, but we gain nothing when we
sell and buy at corresponding abnormal
prices.
All the gold in the world. aside from
So. 135 900. 900 held by this country was
estimated by the comptroller at $6,
900 900. 900 or only about 10 per cent

the last six years. For that reason.
he urged, that this country should adopt
a policy of reasonable help and encour
agement toward debtor countries with
no assets Immediately available. but
having fair prospects Of being able tC
pay out if given time.
Praise for the part played by the
national banks in financing the world
turing time of stress was given un-
'tintedy by the comptroller. He ex
pressed hope that the conservative in
tiuence of the banks would lead manu-
facturers and business men to accept
for the present smaller profits with q
view to building up general prosperity
and the habit of thrift and economy
among the masses of the people.

of transportation, lighting and so on.

thirty to forty wagons on the streets
