MISTREATlNG OF WAR
DISABLED

(From The Parkersburq SentineI)
The treatment which the disabled
war veterans of this country con-
tinue to receive from the American
government is such as to bring re
nroach upon the WASHINGTON admin,
istration. An Investigation" has
been on for weeks and lone -
enough developed that red-tape
should have been Immediately cast
aside in the name of humanity.
Some Of the disclosures follow:
That 400 World War veterans
committed suicide in New York
state alone in year because of de-
spondency caused from the govern.
ment's neglect.
That 5000 veterans suffering
from mental diseases and tuberculo-
sis are being treated in 100 hos.
pitfalls, owned and operated by pri,
waite individuals, under contracts
(which ought to be abrogated to-
morrow"
That in direct contradiction of Of
fetal government statements Of
Observation-Disclosures" only about
$4,000 disabled former service men
are being cared for, while tubercu.
losis and mental cases alone ex.
coed 100000.
That the Speedway Hospital, CHI
cago, is an abortion, both as to the
building and as to the location
That the administration OF sold
iers' relief measures by the govern
ment has been "haphazard and slip.
shod" by officials who know littl'
or nothing of the actual situation, ,
That large numbers of disabled
veterans are being treated for var.
ious diseases in a strange assert.
ment OF fy-by-night" institutions
ranging from asylums for the Grim
inally insane to homes for feeble
minded children.
That government officials from
time to time issue misleading state
ments about an abundance Of hos.
pital facilities to hide from the
public their inefliciency and incom.
potency.
Certainly it is time for President
Harding to act.
