United States has been more liberal
than any other nation in its provisions
for the disabled soldiers, but that it has
failed in large measure to make these
provisions available in spite of the
benefit of the experience Of other
nations in the recent war and the ex-
perience of this nation in previous
wars.
IN the rehabilitation of a disabled
man there are three needs-medical
treatment, vocational training and
financial support" the memorial
states. The government has recog-
nized the three needs, but overlooks
the fact that they are the simutane-
ous needs of one man, not of three
different men or of one man at three
different times, 1t makes three prob

ces, are exercising functions they were
not Intended to exercise. This pre-
sents an amazing spectacle Of admin
istrative chaos. duplication, wasted en-
ergy and conflict, which is the key
to the present condition
"The result is the suffering of the
disabled veterans. Thousands are
waiting and have waited for months
for compensation for their injuries,
Thousands have waited for months
for an opportunity to re-establish
themselves as self-sustaining members

President-elect Harding, and to all
members of congress. Probably never
before in the history of the country
has such an army of orators been
modified TO speak at the same time
upon single text.
The Legion aims to present to the
regarding the disabled in the same
language as they were presented to
the officials of the government. The
Legion's memorial was carried to the
President at the White House by John
Thomas Taylor, vice chairman of the
Legion National Legislative commit
tee. National Commander f. W. Gal
braith. Jr., gave it to Senator Harding
at Marion, where he had long and
important conference on the disabled
situation with the next President
The Legion denounces the present
a failure" which only can be rem
edied by the entire reconstruction of
the federal machinery dealing with
the problem.
The functions of the three agencies,
which deal with the problems of the
disabled, the bureau of war risk in
surance, the federal board for voca-
tional education, and the United
States public health service, must be
co-ordinated, their machinery decen-
tralized and all three placed under
common control" the memorial states.
AS an equally essential remedy for
existing conditions, the memorial
urges the immediate appropriation for
the use of the unified organization
of a sum ample to build or rent
sufficient number of hospitals to take
care of the $1,000 ex-service men who
are unable to receive treatment at
present because of lack of beds and
shelter.
The failure" of the government to
afford justice to the sick and wounded
veterans is attributed by the Legion
to IAN astonishing state of divided re
sponsIbility and wasted effort among
the government agencies with which
the problem rests"
The break in the chain of RESPONSE

mortal, as a result of the fact that
