REPUBLICANS WOULD AMEND
WAR RISK INSURANCE

Referring to the enactment OF the
Sweet bill to amend the war risk in
surance law and to increase the bene-
fits to the American soldier of the
world war Senator Capper of Kan
sas said: at gives greater benefit
to the soldier, and provides among
other things, for the payment OF the
insurance of service men in a lump
sum, if desired by the insured. Many
other provisions clarity the law and
make more simple and more speedy
the payment of the belated allot-
ments and allowances of the soldier,
sailor and marines.
This is an act of simple justice
and should be followed by other
laws granting other just and de-
served benefits to service men, es-
pecially those who are disabled and
incapacitated for daily labor. Wheth-
er lump bonus should be paid, OF
whether the legislation should take
the form of loans for the purchase
of homes, either in town or country,
remains to be decided, but certainly
this country can afford to be gem
erous to the men who fought our
battles"
