WHAT INDIVIDUAL STATES
HAVE DONE FOR SOLDIERS

Discussion OF the proposed sol
der bonus, or adjusted compensa-
ton as some seem to prefer to
call it, lends interest to what the
individual states have already done
for their returned service men.
Massachusetts, Minnesota, New
Hampshire, North Dakota, Oregon,
Wisconsin, Alabama, Florida, Iowa,
and North Carolina are among the
states that made substantial appro-
priations for former service men
through their 1919 legislatures.
In Wisconsin every soldier, sailor,
marine or nurse was given a gift
of $40 for each month spent in the
service. the minimum gift being $50,
In Massachusetts all honorably
discharged soldiers received $100
Minnesota gave them tuition TO the
extent of 5000 in any of the educa-
tional institutions of the state.
North Dakota gave former service
men $25 for each month or fraction
thereof. Oregon gave the same
amount. Exact figures on the other
states which have given a bonus
are not now available.

Bolivia's isolation is unnatural.
The tendency of modern interna.

countries free access to the ocean.
1t will be noted Bolivias claim to
africa rests on the same principles
as do Jugo-SIavia's to Fiume. Each
involves the right of hinterland.
indeed, Bolivia's argument seems
the stronger. for whereas without

pie weary Of deprivation turn to
buying in great quantities the things
they could not get during the war.
That stimulates production, partic-
ularly of luXuries and non-essen-
tials. The stimulus leads inevitably
to over-production along these
lines. production leads to a
clogged market, difficulty in sell
ing and consequently difficulty in
meeting financial obligations. Now,
banking is the most timid profess
sion-bankers have to be cautious.
Bankers, therefore, observing the
situation, naturally begin shutting
of credit to the business institutions
concerned. Thus begine a wave Of
business depression which may
sweep the country.
After the Civil War it took eight
years to reach that point. How long
will it take now? The business man
referred to reminds his friends that

No financier. however, pessimis-

thing of which little has yet been
