BRITISH TRADE WAR
"Cut Off EngIand's Cotton" As
ReprisaI for Shipping Boycott,
Saws Ex-senator Bourne.

Cut of Great Britain's, cotton sup
ply in retaliation for her boycott Of
American shipping.
This is the course advocated by
the Republican Publicity Association,
through former Senator Jonathan A.
Bourne. jr- it's president. in formal
statement issued yesterday.
should the United States adopt
this measure there would be such a
paralysis in the British cotton indus
try they have not known since
the Civil War" the statement sets
out. And If this latest game of Brit
ish business Is persisted in retalia-
tion in some form is quite within the
range of possibilities. for by tho
eternals the merchant marine. as
well as the navy. is entitled to it's
due"
British spinners and manufacturers
have declined to accept cotton from
Galveston unless carried in British
ships and under British insurance, ac-
cording to the statement which adds
"The United States has a long score
to settle with British cotton, manu-
facturers. For nearly century they
have conspired in one way and anoth-
er to injure American industry. par
ticularly the cotton textile industry.
Now IL appears that the British cot
ton manufacturers, and perhaps 9TH
er industries, are going out of their
way to cripple an American industry
which does not compete with them.
but which does compete with British
shipping. This is a matter which
Congress should take under advise
ment."
The Washington times., 1921-05-08

Our armies were manly raised
through the operation of the selec-
tive draft. The object was to call
forth the men who could best be
spared and were best fitted to fight.
Instead Of the gratuity Of q pension
the idea arose that men should be
compensated for the disabilities they
might suffer as a matter Of right, as
q part of Uncle Sans contract with
his soldiers. Instead of making de-
pendents and pensioners of the men,
the purpose was to give them only
their due "a compensation for what
they might suffer. For this reason.
payments under War Risk Insurance
Act, which was passed in October,
1917, are not pensions. but are called
compensation, and as such they
should be considered. 1t is Uncle
Sans attempt to compensate these
men for their suffering insofar as
they may be compensated in cash.
Another thing had to be thought
of. Many men were suddenly with
drawn who had been the support Of
families, wives, children. mothers
and fathers and other dependent
relatives. The pay given the private
soldier of this war was increased
from $12 to $50 a month. This was
more liberal than had been paid in
other wars. To care for the depend
ents at home, to minimize the suf-
fering caused by the withdrawal Of
their support, the Government pro-
vided for allotments from the pay Of
a soldier or sailor to which he Joined
an allowance, equal or greater in
amount than the money allotted by
the enlisted man. These allotments
and allowances were paid through
the War Risk Insurance Bureau Of
the Treasury Department.
THEY EXPECTED TO DIE.
The insurability Of these men
was taken away by the hazard Of
war. So Uncle Sam provided In
surance for them, allowing max
jimum OF $4,000. have one Of
these policies and when l went to
camp / found all nen fully expected
10 die Just as I did. They thought
II was $4,000 practically given them
which they could leave to their
fnmilies. So practically all the naea
took out the waainurs allowed then.
More than $4,000. 100000 worth Of
Insurance was written by the War
Risk Bureau. That Is a stupendous
sum. Few people can realize It's
magnitude. 4 heard II said that II

Formerly ssistent Secretary s Treasury IN charge Of ks px

Real estate goughers aided and abetted by some mem
bers of Congress- trying to put over pork barrel

many instances of this method of oistng upon the
Government property that is unfit for housing disabled
soldiers There great deal of danger in this situation
in fact much greater danger than the people realize.
The money which has been ground out of suffering
taxpayers will be dissipated in these criminal projects if
members of Congress persuade the officials of the
Government that their ideas right and the opinions OF
medical men of the Public Health Service are wrong.
There is great deal of difference between building
garage and hospital but some members of Congress do
not seem to think so.+

the Armory last light. A preliminary
boxing exhibition was sche luled, but

The new wrestling mat. which fills
a long felt want. was christened by
Jack Jordou and Jack Albright, with
Tom Marvin as referee. Jordon was
on the defensive from the tap of the
