as possible, and the soldiers should
be the first to discern who are their
true friends. That the Republicans
al do the impossible is not to
be reasonably expected. They cannot
pay out money that they have not
got and unlike the Democrats do not
care to incur another vast obligation,
until they can provide a revenue with
which to meet it. The attitude of he
administration is to do business in a
business way and as soon as the bud
get committee, and General Dawes
commission gets through work, and
the tariff schedules are determined,
the government will know just what
it can do for the soldiers. and do it.
The present administration has
some regard for the commercial honor
of the country and is striving to put
liberty bonds back to par and to re-
store the credit of the nation. The
nations to whom the peoples money
vas loaned, cannot pay for some years
yet. and in the meantime the best
minds Of the country are striving to
frame an economical and workable
financial program where the income
of the nation will meet its liabilities
and expenses.
With the b~ondholders, the soldiers
must be patient. A bonus law will
be passed in plenty of time to meet
the first payment in 1922. Soldiers
should congratulate themselves on the
fact that when this administration
promises to pay it will do so, for all
arrangements will then have been
made to that end.
The soldiers bonus will be an ac-
complished fact in due time.
