LOANS FOR Ex-SERvICE MEN
Commander MacNider Is Originator
of Plan to Aid Men In Need
of Assistance.

Buddies who are "broken In health
and battling their way through red tape
for their just disability compensation"
will be the benefciaries of a big ro-
tating fund, details of which are be-
ing worked out at national headquar-
tiers of the American Legion.
The fund Is designed to provide
loans, without security and at a low
rate of interest, to eX-service men IN
every state who are in need OF ASSIST
ance. Commander MacNider, VINO
originated the. plan, says that such a
provision is of vital necessity in order
that worthy men may keep their self
respect during a period of financial
stress. Ex-soldiers who do not need
the ready cash provided by the gov
ernment's payment of adjusted COM
pensation have signified their willing
ness to turn over their bonus to the
fund.
Hundreds Of instances Of sick and
wounded ex-service men falling back
on charity while their claims were be-
ing reviewed are shown by Legion
reports. Tubercular victims whose
condition has been brought on by pol
son gas or exposure have gone to SAM
tariums in the West and have been
denied immediate treatment and be-
come public charges, 1t is declared
Some help for these men during the
period of REIMBURSEMENT is of prime I'M
