BONUS QUESTION
AGAIN TO FRONT
Representatives of General Organi-
cations of Former Service Men
Heard BY the Committees.-
Demand For Immedi-
ate Action.

Washington, Dec. 16.-The Am
erican Legion will defend the tax
plan in the house bill granting ad-
justed compensation to former SER
vice men, but it will not defend de-
lay by congress in passing the mea-
sure the senate finance committee
was told today by Gilbert Bettman
a member of the Legion's executive
committee.
Senator McCumber of North Da-
kota, acting chairman of the COM
mittee, had advanced the condition
of the treasury as a reason for sug-
gesting postponement of action un-
til 1922 or 1923. He said the trea-
sury reports indicated deficit Of
$3.50, 100000 January 1, $780,
100000 on next June 80 and ST.
500, 100000 at the end of the next
fiscal year.
"We all may be for a policy of
retrenchment," said, Mr.. Bettman,
"but let's not retreneh when the
men come back at an economic dis
advantage"
Carl Calvin, national commander
of the World War Veterans, told
the committee congress had provid-
ed the means for conpensating the
railroads and other industries taken
over during the war and that the
former soldiers felt they should
have equal treatment.
Maj. Frederick w. Galbraith, Jr.,
of Cincinnati, national commander
of the American Legion, in pre-
setning thee laims of the men, said
congress should find the means OF
meeting these claims. Mr.. Bettman
expressed similar view, saying it
was not for the Legion to advise
when, or how the debtor should pay.
Some of the senators did not
agree with the Legion spokesmen
that large numbers Of the soldiers
would accept homestead or other
features of the bill in lieu Of the
cash bonus proposed as one of the
alternative plans of compensation.
Major Galbraith thought a cam
paign of education would reduce
the number who now favored cash
payment by the government.
Major Galbraith sharply attacked
the administration for the treat
ment of disabled service men. He
said congress had been liberal with
funds for this purpose, but that the
federal agencies charged with car
rying on the work had not coopera-
ted and functioned properly.
Robert G. Woodside Of Pitts
burgh, commander of the Veterans
Of Foreign Wars, urged immediate
passage of the house measure, de-
claring that all the men asked was
square deal. Proposing substi-
tue bill for vocational training and
some form of government loans for
homes, Sol. Lovenbein, chairman Of
the Rank and File Veterans associ-
alton, declared that all the former
opposed the pending measure, that
all wanted a cash bonus and that
they wanted it to come from "the
war profiteers." :,

idea, and u friend passed away.
