Washington, April President
Harding will take immediate steps
to end the confusion, inefiiciency and
,nadequacy involved i'll the present
system of care and relief of disabled
soldiers and sailors. which have
made the discharge of this war OBJ
legation little short of a national
scandal.
In accord with the recommends
lions of the Dawes commission, sub
mitted to him today, the president
will urge congress to consolidate
all of the agencies for soldier care
and relief into an independent vet
erans' service administration unde:
a director general directly under
the jurisdiction of the executive.
Pending such legislation, the
president will consolidate these
agencies so far as is possible under
existing law. Mr.. Harding indi-
Gated that he would make his rec
concentrations in this particular a
major feature of his message to con-
gress next Tuesday and would press
Tor immediate passage OF the neces-
sary legislation.
Organization Needed.
To work out plan of adequate
care and relief the president ap-
ointcd the commission headed by
Gen. Charles Gates Dawes. In con-
cluding its report to the executive
the commission says:
1T cannot be too strongly empha-
sized that the present deplorable
failure on the part of the govern
ment to properly care for the dis
abled veteran is due, in large part,
to an imperfect organization OF
governmental effort. There is no
one in control of the whole situa-
ton. Independent agencies by mu-
tual agreement now endeavor to
coordinate their action, but in such
efforts the joint action is too often
modified by minor considerations
and there is always lacking that
complete cooperation which is in
cident to a powerful superimposed
authority. No emergency of war it
self was greater than is the emer-
gency which confronts the nation in
its duty to care for those disabled
in its service and now neglected.
The commission unanimously and
with the concurrence oi Gen.
Charles E. Sawyer, the presidents
personal representative. made the
following recommendations of ae-
ton:
Il. That there be created the vet
Grams service administration and that
there be transferred to it the bureau
of war risk insurance, the rchabilita-
ton division of the federal board for
vocational education and such part OF
the public health service as necessary
in dealing with the beneficiaries OF
the bureau of war risk Insurance and
the rehabilitation division Of tic fed
eral board OF vocational education.
Director General in Charge.
"That there shall be at the head
OF this administration a director
general, who shall be responsible to
the president for all the ac,ivitic3
now authorized by law in the three
agencies transferred; that he shall

Fighting for the South

wv HEN President Harding a few months
W ago declared that the Republican
party must further invade tho South and
capture two or three more states to keen
company with Tennessee. which had cast
lis vote for tho Republican presidential
candidate and elected a Republican Gov
ornor. he was laughed at. not ONLY bv
Southern Democrats. hut also by members
of his own party both in the South and the
North.
1t was pointed out that Tennessee itself
had changed it's political apparel only tenn
porarily and that in reality tho shutting off
OF tic Democratic coat and the DOMINIC Of
i.cpuhllCan toggcry was something i'm the
nature OF an accident. which would only
stir the Democrats of that State to greater
effort, and of other parts of the Solid South
to greater care in tho future.
However, MIR. Harding or somebody else
nigh in authority in the Republican ranks
seems to be III dead earnest about breaking
III" Solid South. and the national
has been giving the matter serious consider
alton. That committee held a meeting in
washington yesterday. which was preceded
on Monday hy a lengthy conference of 4
subcommittee, which, it has leaked ont
spent the entire day considering plans for
putting the party in the South in real fight
ing trim.
1t is evident that the subcommittee
recognized IA fact. long recognized i'm the
south. that the Republican, organization
in the South was in for the Federal Offices
ana holhinS moro; that the members of the.
party were mover active until the day for
the distribution of tho Jobs dawned or was
about 10 dawn, and on election days-Statc
ard congressional-thcy are always con-
sp:cuously inactive. 1t seems also TO have
been recognized that tho activity for tho
Offices usually begins in the national con
VcftIons, and therefore the Southern Re-
pnhllcans attach much Importance to repre-
sentai!on In the conventions called to build
platforms and nominate candidates for tho
presidency and vicc-presidency.
\ study OF these conditions. il is alleged
led the subcommittee 10 recommend to the
general yesterday that an effort
be made 10 bUild up bona fide Republican
organizations in every Southern State. and.
as Il first step in that direction. that these
organizations be required to place party
candidates i'll nomination for State and Fed
elal Offices and to make II fight for their
election, the penalty for failure So to do
being the loss OF representation in the ma
iional conventions.
Judging from what the national com
miticc did yesterday it looks as if the ma
tional Republican organization is persuaded
that tho time Tor II fight looking To the
disruption of The Solid South is at hand.
ana IL is, perhaps, not too soon for the
Democratic rrrty in Virginia and other
southern States 10 begin to take warning.
