When President Harding yesterday at the first
budget conference OF the cabinet and high govern
ment officials pledged his administration to new
era of economy and efficiency he touched upon a
subject that Is quite close to the heart Of the people
There is not the slightest doubt about the sincerity
OF the President when he says that 1t is one Of the
most earnest wishes of the present administration
to take the government a long way on Its road back
to good business principles. but 1t is no easy thing
to do. Indeed it is an impossible thing unless the
President count upon the whole hearted support
and cooperation Of his subordinates And II they are
wise they will give this, for the public understands
the situation and is going to put the responsibility
where it belongs II the platform pledges are not

place before the public full statement Of facts re-
sardins important public business.
One Of the latest instances of gievous wrong
which deserved public exposure and condemnation was
the treatment Of disabled veterans who protested
against conditions at Government relief schools and
vocational training camps. The treatment these veter-
ans were receiving became 50 bad that TIE local organ.
iztion Of the American Legion appointed Commit
tee to formulate complaint and submit petition
for relief to the officers Of the Board Of Vocational
Education at Washington This protest later found
its way to Senate Committee where the complainants
were given an opportunity TO state their grievances and
to meet the commanding officers against whom they
complained When these witnesses were called some
of them decline to testify asserting that they were
afraid to do so because they would probably be dis
missed from the vocational training school as penalty
1t was only upon the assurance that the Senate would
not permit them to be dismissed for that reason, that
they gave their testimony. 1t was shown that after
members Of h. Committee filed their protest they were
dismissed from the Government Vocational Training
Camp even though some Of them were suffering from
tuberculosis and were in great need Of medical atten-
tiOn 1t was also stated by Member Of the Senate that
an officer Of the training camp had referred to these
complaining veterans as nuts" Although the officer
at first denied that he had used that expression he was
on cross-examination forced TO admitit
1t is apparent that the complaints in this particular
case arose under officials appointed by the previous
Administration It is also apparent that the facts would
not have come to public attention and relief would have
been long delayed if ever secured. if left entirely to
officers of the training camp By dsmissng or threat
ening to dismiss compliments the officers of the camp
were able to suppress the facts.
