.HE National Disabled Veterans, OF ii

THE National Disabled Veterans OF the World
i War enter the lists as champions of
Dr. Charles E. Sawyer and the Veterans Bureau.
They more than insinuate that the Presidents
physician has not had square deal from officials
OF the American Legion disqualification conditions
throughout the country, they maintain, are satis-
factory although not ideal: This statement is
broadcast after investigation of some hospitals
in the District of Columbia concerning which more
or less scandal has crept out.
The National Disabled Veterans Association
of course, should know what it is talking about
Its primary interest is in the proper care of men
ncapacitated in the service. 1t has none of the
other interests which require of the attention
OF the American Legion 1t is, nevertheless, difficult
to account for the difference in viewpoint.
The entire affair looks to US like effort to
create dispute between two associations of world
war veterans-one with abundant resources,
enormous membership and unsearred record and
the other composed only of small class of former
soldiers and sailors. The National Disabled
Veterans, without doubt, are in a much higher
class than most of the mushroom veterans organ
izations which have sprung up from time to time
their founders inspired largely by jealousy of or
petty pique against the powerful consolidation OF
world war forces represented by the American
Legion. The present body which seeks to pick a
night with its big brother has reason for existence
and can do good work in restricted field. But
it can accomplish almost nothing unless it has the
help and backing of the Legion.
The officials of the American Legion are men
OF national prominence-not given to radical moves
or to rash statements. They are men with the
interests of the disabled at heart above all else
And they alone have the influence or the power
to force reforms On the whole, we prefer to stand
with them in their fight against present hosptaliza-
ton conditions, They undertook this fight only
after the most intensive investigation and they
seek the attention Of the public only after every
other means of bringing about reform apparently
has failed.
The National Disabled Veterans doubtless are
sincere. But they accomplish far more by
cooperating with the American Legion. Inter
ference will only cripple the efforts Of the grea,
national body of former soldiers and sailors to
insure postwar justice. Disabled Veterans will
accomplish little if they consider themselves an
| isolated class and away from the aid of war
veterans a whole. .
There is room for one all-inclusive organiza-
ton Of veterans in the United States. Such the
American Legion rapidly is becoming

From the Suburbs.

EROM the Montgomery County correspondence
i to The Washington Herald We clip the fol-
lowing Illuminating item as worthy of editorial
comment.
The Maryland people are such close and hos
pitable neighbors that naturally are concerned
about their welfare. Besides many from Mont
gomery County only sleep there, spending their
working hours in the District of Columbia and
these folks may be interested in what goes on in
the place where they claim citizenship.
Here it is, in the naive language of our CORES.
pondent:
Montgomery County voters seem very little
interested in the outcome Of the Democratic and
Republican primary elections to be held on Sep
tember II, when Democratic and Republican
candidates for the United States Senate and a
Democratic candidate for the House of Repre-
sentatives will be named, and unless the friends
OF the various candidates soon get active very
light vote will be po.led. AS several of those
seeking nominations reputed to be- very
wealthy it is thought to be likely that consider
able money will be turned loose in the county in
the closing days of the campaign, which, of course,
will have the effect of waking up many of the
voters"
In Washington, of course, we are at dis
advantage. We have no votes for which to de-
mand price
But it appears that the Maryland farmer, if
so inclined, will be able to pick UP few honest
dollars this fall by voting early and often. He
