Senators Determined Wounded
War Veterans Be Cared For.
Present Equipment Lacks TO-
900 Beds of Enough.
MANY DISCHARGED UNCURED
Disabled Soldiers Are Being
Forced Into AImshOuses.
Appropriation of $29,5OO,OO
Asked in France Bill.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-After vainly
trying since last June to arouse con-
gress to the need of greater hospital
facilities for sick and wounded vet
Grams, senators interested in the prob
lem have decided to bring 1t up in
way that cannot be- ignored.
They will ask today that Senator
Frances bill appropriating $685. 500, 900
for hospitals be taken up. If their re-
quest is opposed they will demand
record vote, confident this will pene-
trate the indifference of many sena-
tors.
A similar bill in the house may be
caHed up soon, also. The rules COM
mittee there has paved. the way to
early consideration of the legislation.
Failed TO Get Action.
France reported the senate bill June
20. 1920, but has failed to get action.
Now he proposes to prevent, if pos
army officers and the confirmation of
army appointments. until the senate
gives decent attention to conditions.
Senators are prepared to tell the
senate:
That soldiers are being discharged
from army hospitals forcibly, tho they
are not cured.
That the army, in attempting to
"clean out" all but regular army men
from its hospitals, has turned over the
task OF caring Tor them to the public
health service.
That the health service lacks ten
thousand beds of enough to care for
the patients who should be in hos
pitfalls.
Wounded Onto Charity.
That as result wounded and sick
veterans are in almshouses and wan
dering about the streets, some of them
dying because of lack of care.
That many so-called hospitals are
flirnsy fire traps.
The ten thousand beds which Sur
geon General Cumming of the public
health service estimated were needed,
would cost about $30,000.00O. A pro-
posal to appropriate only $10,000,000
for this purpose is before the senate
appropriations committee whose chair
man, Warren, Wyoming, says the COM
mittee will do "all that ought to be
done at this time" "a
Fra noes bill authorizes the secretary
CT the treasury, thru the public health
service, to provide additional hospital
and out-patient dispensary facilities. to
hire $50 additional officers and to
lease, buy. or construct hospitals, at
cost of SIS, 100000 this fiscal year and
S14530,01o next year.

sOnable Project, Says BRAND.

Full German ReparatiOn.

Utter Disarmament by Father
land Is First Necessity.

Germans Quickly.

Copyright 1921 by the United Press.)
Paris. Jan. 1S.-France is ready to
support any reasonable project de-
signed to bring about a regime of JUS
tice and peace turnout the world. Aris-
tide BRAND, the new premier, declared
today in an interview.
This interview. the first given by
BRAND since he took the premiership
view of the present agitation for dis
armament.
Declares for Pacifism.
BRAND, however, indicated his min
istry would be firm in compelling
Germany to make full reparation for
war damages.
= II am resolutely a pacifist," he de-
clared. Il will support with all my eff
forts an organization or project sus-
ceptible of gathering all the good will
of the world so as to establish, little
by little, in a serious and durable
manner. a regime of peace and justice
between nations.
ut isn't the people who ignore the
necessary steps who most quickly
reach the goal"
Make Haste Slowly.
BRAND then related the hare and
ltortoise fable to explain his idea of
attaining a real peace.
II am not hare" he asserted:
-Tha veteran French statesman, several
difficulties of forming an acceptable
cabinet, received the correspondent
with no trace of worry over the prob
lem which will be decided today when
the French chamber is to accept or re-
ject his cabinet.
Part of His Platform.
The statement was accepted as part
of the platform" he was later to
enunciate in presenting his selections
ITO the chamber.
1.-TWO matters will occupy my mind"
BRAND said in beginning. These are
disarmament and reparation.'
He insisted that Germany must be
stripped of all armament to relieve
France of the danger of attack.
''Since the establishment of the
cific," he declared.
1T was Germany's kaiser who con-
stantly menaced us with his dry pow
der and his sharpened sword.
Does Not Trust Germany.
a do not deny the profound politi-
cal change which has been effected in
our former enemies. They became
democratic-bQt no true Democrat can
be made in one day
