that the resort will have to 90 out

The l-eather ProfIteer.

AT the Players club In Gramercy
park they were swapping profiteer sto-
ries. Butler Glaenzer, critic and col
lector, said:
Il recently helped a leather prof
iteer-call him Peter Sweeney john
son-to choose a library for his new
Fifth avenue house.
Among our lucky finds was a fa-
nous old English dictionary. The
book was In bad condition, so we sent
it off to be rebound.
well, when it came back, gor-
geously done In green morocco ana

rage. He pointed to the title John

yelled:

has presented to President Wilson,
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 a single text.
The Legion aims to present to the
people Of the United States the facts
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 #. w. Gal
braith, Jr., gave it to Senator Harding
at Marion, where he had a long and
important conference on the disabled
situation with the next President.
The Legion denOunces the present
method Of caring for the disabled as
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 vocae
tional education, and the United
States public health service, must We
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 a
sufficient number OF hospitals to take
care Of the $4,000 ex-seryice 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
bility occurs, according to the me-
mortal, as a result of the fact that

United States has been more liberal
than any other nation In It's provisions
Cor the disabled soldiers. but that 1t 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-
perienee of this nation In previous
wars.
SIN the rehabilitation Of disabled
man there are three needs medical
treatment, vocational training and
financial support" the memorial
states. 1.-THE government has recog-
mixed the three needs. but overlooks
the fact that they are the simultane-
Gus needs Of one man, not Of three
different men or OF one man at three
different times. It makes three prob
lens out of what really is one problem.
Continuing this faulty conception.
It has given the problem over to three
agencies. All, by force of circumstan-
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
