Department Commander Albert
Greenlaw OF the Maine American
Legion has made public the follow

Jr., bearing on the estimate of the
Secretary OF the Treasury as to the
cost to the United States of The

tardy justice to ex-service men and
women of the World War, the secre-
tary of the treasury has been
brought before Senate Finance COM
mittee waving scarcrow of dollar
marks running up into more than
ten billions of dollars. The Adjusted
Compensation bill passed by the
House and now pending in the Sem
ate, provides optional choice of ad-
justed service pay in cash. in insur-
ance certificates. in vocational train
ing, in farm or home aid or in land
settlement. The ex-service man may
choose one and only one of these
options.
According to Sec. Houston's own
figures, all ex-service persons could
be given adjusted compensation in
cash for s1,342,OO0,0 Since the
veteran in exercising any one of the
other options is allowed by the bill an
increase of only 40 per cent, no one
of these features could cost the gov
eminent more than $1,S78,S00.0 600,
that figure being Houston's estimate
of what cash compensation would
cost plus 40 per cent.
"Houston's estimate that it would
cost the government $4,534 100000 if
all ex-service persons took insurance
certificates is absurd and disingenu-
Gus. The law very plainly states
that these certificates are TO be of
face value equal to sum of what ad-
justed compensation would be in
cash increased by 40 per cent.

estimate of $4.5S4. 100000 as cost Of

any circumstances. Secretary Hous-
tons whole presentation of the mat
ter was misleading and designed to
brighten the country Interpolation
of it's obligation to the exservice
men. The general impression con-
veyed by his testimony that the
passage of the adjusted compensation
bill would entail the immediate ap-
preparation of billions of dollars by
government and seriously cripple the
financial condition of the treasury to-
day.
"The facts are that the appropria-

Seek Owners of
Discharge Papers

Each army recruiting station in
Maine and New Hampshire has been
furnished a list of $500 names of men
whose discharge certificates from the
United States army are filed in the
office of the zone finance officer,
Washington, d. c., awaiting receipt
of the correct address of the owners.
These discharge certificates were
originally sent to Washington by eX-
service men in support of their
claims for the $50 bonus, additional
travel pay or back pay due them, and
in many cases checks in full settle
ment of the claims are attached to
the discharge certificates. Any man
who has sent his discharge certificate
to Washington and has not received
it back, should make application at
the nearest army recruiting station
for information as to whether his
name is included in this list. Full in
structions have been furnished each
recruiting station as to the proper
procedure to take to secure the re-
turn of discharge certificates to their
proper owners.
