opposition to the bonus and TO the bill
pending in Congress for adjusted COM

for the action are that the bill makes
an unpa triotic demand for extra COM

formed, that it is discriminatory and
unsound and would establish a prece-
dent for similar demands by special
groups.

ment was made by veteran organiza -
ton leaders that the bonus measure was
not understood. but that once explained
the previous action taken at our annual
meetings would be overwhelmingly re-
versed with respect to the cash bonus
with desire to be perfectly fair
and to be made aware of any change in
public sentiment, if change there had
been. we submitted the matter to refer
endum The test we made was nation
wide. Arguments that have been made
on both sides of each question were
presented in detail to insure study and
comparison by the chambers member
ship. The fairness of the presentation
was attested by the commander OF the
American Legion. who wrote us on jan
uary II:
"'There is no doubt In our minds that
In your referendum every attempt has
been made to present both sides of the
question completely. but cannot re-
frain from calling your attention to
some seeming discrepancies-no more
probably than would creep into any such
document--'
During the forty-five days that the
referendum was being taken a thorough
and vigorous campaign was carried on
by veteran organizations advocating the
bonus. and particular attention was
given to presenting the bonus side be-
fore local commercial organizations.
Thousands of veterans are themselves
members of chambers of commerce and
trade organizations. They sat as MEM
hers of local committees In many In
stances while the questions were being
debated.
THE full test has now been made.
The complete results are now evident
The vote was widely distributed. It Is
apparent that the more fairly the bonus
question has been studied the greater
has been the reaction against n cash
payment The more vigorously the pro-
ponents OF the bonus have presented the
view that the country demanded n Cow
ernment bonus the more voluminous has
become the protest against it.
"The referendum vote was larger than
the vote cast at our annual meetings.
The result is more decisive.
Adequate relief for the disabled still
remains the first step in the national
chambers program A present expen-
diture of more than $1,000, 900 day for
disabled men is evidence of the desire
of the people that those veterans who
suffered physical or mental Impairment
shall be cared for adequately until re-
turned to life OF usefulness and inde-
pendence. Beyond that point the ma
tional chamber will continue to advo-
cate legislation for the benefit of the
healthy, uninjured veterans which will
include opportunities for vocational
training and land settlement aid. con-

of the church, such as the pulpit.

wheels, he said. that the minister
might move about the church at

special Dispatch 10 THE NEW YOaK HsaArp

New York Herald Bureau,
Washington. ID. c.. Feb. "a.
IN URING the discussion of the
bonus question to-day SEN
ator Hefiin (Ala.) puzzled
the Senator'S and those in the gall
leries by declaring:
There stood the Kaiser on the
battle plains OF France. with folded
arms, gazing into the distance
through his field glasses"
Senator Hefiin did not stop to ex-
plain how the Kaiser performed
that remarkable feat and the dig
nified Senator's put their heads to-
gether trying to figure it out. One
suggested that the Crown Prince
was holding the field glasses for the
Kaiser: another suggested Luden-
dorff. But these were mere guesses.
The riddle has not been solved and
Senator Hefiin did not offer an ex-
planation-
The New York herald., 1922-02-25

1t was declared after the meeting that
the Ways and Means Committee was
still keeping alive sales tax on man
ufactured products in the hope of en-
ticing the agricultural bloc which has
rolled up a majority of the House
membership against general sales
tax plan"
Another Fantastic scheme proposed
was 10 call on tweI.ty-six States to
pay SIS, S,10l ,64469 which they have
owed 10 the Federal Government for
eighty six years, with interest at a
per cent. and which might yield
Sl24, 100000. The chimerical PROPOSE
ton TO divert the payment of British
interest on it's war debt from Liberty
bonds, to the bonus was also pro-
nounced TO be "still alive"
The announcements of Senators
Moses and Ernst that they would vote
against the bonus bill jolted the bonus
supporters, who still are asserting
that raid bill will be passed. more
than they care to admit. The declara-
tion OF these Senators that campaign
promises are of less value than re-
gard for the welfare of the country
was viewed as the Inauguration of a
procession" in the Stnate away from
the bonus.
More Changes to BE known.
Ii is expected that several other
Senators who privately admit that
they have changed their position on
the bonus since THE NEW YORK HERALD
inausurated its campaign OF educa-
tion will follow the leadership of Sen
stors Moses and Ernst next week
Two weeks ago only four of the
ninety-six Senator'S had expressed
their determination to vote against the
bonus raid. These were Wadsworth of

Minnesota and Brandegee of Connect
