M. Krassin said the crop failure in

seed grain. He said the first locomo-

August.

Senate Votes to
Merge Relief Work
In Veterans Bureau
House to Take Similar Action
on Sweet Bill; 3 Boards
To Be Consolidated; New
Concessions i'm Insurance

From, The Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The Senate
to-day adopted the conference report
on the Sweet bill which consoiidates
and centralizes the various organiza-
tions of the government which have to
do with soldier relief and benefit work
into one Independent organization,
known as the Veterans Bureau. The
House will act promptly on the re-
port and the bill will soon become law.
Senator Walsh, Of Massachusetts, ex-
planning the bill in a speech to the
Senate, pointed out that under the
present law the administration of gov
eminent insurance and all compensa-
ton claims is by the Bureau or War
Risk Insurance.; the capitalization
medical care and the treatment by the
Public Health Service, and the voca-
tionai training of incapatcitated SOL
diers by the Board for Vocational Ed
ucation. These are the organizations
which are consolidated by the Sweet
measure
The law now limits medical care and
treatment of incapacitated veterans to
those suffering with a service disease
or injury of 10 per cent or more. The
Sweet bill removes this 10 per cent
limitation. Senator Walsh said that
many dental, eye, ear, nose and throat
cases, where the disability is less than
10 per cent, may be cared for under
the new law. Application for treat
ment must be made within one year
after passage of the act.
The rate and amount of compensa-
ton provided by existing law is not
affected by the bill. Under Section 16
small class of naval recruits will
become eligible for compensation.
Rights of ex-service men to war
risk insurance are increased in three
important respects.
Section 81 provides that men suffer
ing with disability of service origin
may reinstate their lapsed insurance
by payment of all back premiums if
they are not permanently and totally
disabled. The same opportunity is ex-
tended to benefciaries where it can be
demonstrated that the death of the
ex-service man was due to wounds or
disease contracted in the service.
Section 30 makes all government
insurance policies incontestable after
six months from date of reinstate-
ment.
Section 81 provides that premiums
may be waived and insurance may not
be deemed to lapse in the cases of per-
sons confined in hospitals or those
rated permanently and totally disabled
This will prevent the lapse of any pol
Icy when veteran is in the hospital
and short of funds.

He was arrested in Franklin Avenue

Miss Hansen appeared to testify
against Riccurti. She told Magistrate

She said he had told her he had been
famous French "ace" and had
brought down twenty German planes

continue her acquaintance with Ric-

Miss Hansen added that her father
had become suspicious of Riccurti's
role of hero after he called on her sew

to Brooklyn for her music lesson and
was met by Riccurti. She explained
to him that her parents had forbidden
her to receive him at the house again

Relief Work
For Russians
tcontInuad from page ons>

ton among the millions of Russian
people so acute, and with suffering and
disease widespread, this is no time to
say anything concerning commercial or
diplomatic relations; that the first
concern of Americans generally has to
do with getting food and other supplies
to the sufferers.
Purely Relief Work
According to advices received at the
State Department the British govern
ment has not met with the success an
tlclpated in q commercial way with
Russia. The British have found the
business outlook very limited, owing to
the fact that the Russians are produc-
ing nothing and their gold supply has
been so greatly reduced.
Instead of the situation becoming
better as result of the influx of
British goods and British gold it has
become increasingly bad and nothing
could reveal it more than the present
situation. At the State Department
emphasis was laid upon the human
tartan motives which prompted the
movement to feed the Russian chill
dren, and there is no lack of consdera-
ton for the extremities to which the
Russians are reduced
1t is generally known that Secretary
Hoover has indicated carefully the kind
OF an understanding entered into before
relief is given. Other considerations
are not involved at all, and the State
Department is unwilling to predict what
the effect will be. What discoveries
will be made concerning the progress
sive impoverishments of the Russians
can only be guessed. On one thing the
State Department is positive - the
relief work will not bolster up the
Soviet regime.

demanded for the cotton crop will
be obtained providing always it is a
fair price and one which should be
obtained for the crop.
. Other complaints will be remedied.
Il is a fact that some men are more
successful in securing proper prices
for their cotton than are other men
! in less independent positions. Again,
we have seen. year after year that
cotton at one time of the year would
! Be bringing a good price and maybe
! within thirty days it will be four or
five cents cheaper; or maybe it would
be cheap for several months at the
onening of the season and in the
late months it would advance sever
al cents per pound. Sometimes one
grade of cotton will sell at fair
price while other grades on account
of a slack demand or a few buyers,
or an understanding between the
buyers, would bring very poor prices.
A marketing association properly
conducted would take care of these
complaints. When it is well under
way, land these associations are as
sure to come as the sun is to rise to-
morrow,) the cotton will be gradual
ly marketed at priee4to be. fixed by
the association largely, and that
price will remain more or less fixed
for the greater part of the season.
1t was only day or two ago that a
cotton seller told US that something
like two months ago he was offered
19 cents for good cotton and about
II for lower grades. When this same
cotton was offered last week the good
cotton st II commanded the top price,
about a cent less than formerly Of
fered, but for the lower grades there
was no market except at a loss of
four or five cents. That should not
be, but it will continue to be the case
until cotton is sold according to busi-
aess principles. ..
We find no fault with the cotton
buyer for buying cotton as cheap as
he can as long as he does not prove
a profiteer, but the cotton buyer must
not find fault with the seller for
adopting methods which will get bet
ter prices for the staple, and greatly
reduce the number of people who
make a living by buying cotton for
after all every man who buys cotton
is paid by the cotton growers.
) We believe that the association
plan is the only proper plan for the
marketing Of cotton and we hope that
Abbeville County will not be slow to
Join hands with other progressive
counties in getting the plan in oper-
at on. We should sell the next crop
of cotton in South Carolina in this
way. Within three years the associa-
ton will have demonstrated that it
is worth thousands of dollars to the
farmers of this and every other
county in the state. It is the way to
substitute intelligent business prin-
ciples for haphazard methods in
handling millions of dollars worth of
farm products.
