Further Proof of Governments Desire to Prevent

ances are given to him. not as a charity.
but as a part of his deserved compensa-
ton for the extra hazardous occupation
into which his Government has forced
him.
Furthermore 1t must be borne in
mind that the Government will not
escape these expenditures IL this plan
OF compensation and insurance should
be rejected, because the pension system
would then be resorted to and the cost
would likely exceed that of the proposed
plan. At the same time the pension sys-
tenn would not provide the same bene-
fits nor cover the subject in the same
comprehensive. humane and equitable
way. No provision is made under our
pension laws for family allowances
while the men are at the front, nor for
rehabilitation. life insurance, &C."
In replying to a question from Rep
resentative Montague (va.) at the COM
mittee hearing on the bill, Mr.. McAdoo
said:
II think with such a comprehensive
plan as this and such adequate pro-
vision 1t would be very difficult to adj
vance an individual pension bill in Con-
gress."
Judge Julian Mack, who framed the
war risk bill for the Treasury, further
explained IL to the committee.
Representative Montague asked him
IL the provisions Of the bill were in
tended to be in lieu of pensions.
Yes" replied Judge Mack.
IF we've got to give this and then
have pensions on top of It," said Mr..
Montague land then have the country
go through another saturnalia of pen
sion frauds for generation after genera
tion It would be a pretty serious prop
osition."
This is entirely In lieu of that" re-
piled Judge Mack.

ENEMY ALIENS TO GET
WAR RISK BENEFITS
Are So Entitled If They Served
With American Forces.

WASHINGTON March 1s. - Enemy
aliens who served with the United
States during the world war are enti-
tied to the benefits OF the war risk in
surance act under a recent interpreta-
tion OF the act by the Veterans Bureau
according to instructions issued to-day
by Director Forbes
According to this decision Direc-
tor Forbes said, amy claimant who is
an enemy alien and who volunteered or
was drafted in the army navy or Ma
rine Corps and who was not discharged
from the service on his own application
or solicitation by reason OF being an
enemy alien and whose service was
honest and faithful shall be entitled 10
the benefits OF the war risk insurance
act
"As Is well known, the Veterans
Bureau disallowed insurance benefits to
those beneficlaries residing in enemy
countries and classified as enemy aliens.
Peace has now been declared between
these countries and the United States
and II Is very proper and fittig to make
up these awards and their payments as
soon as possible"

Speakers position as unchanged"
and supplemented it with this state
ment: The whole thing depends on
Harding. If he refuses to reverse him
self do not really know what we will
do--probably pass the. certificate loan
plan through the House and let the
Senate and the President worry about
It"
1t was apparent from the statements
made by Messrs. Mondell and Fordney
after the conference that they will
persist in their determination TO put
the certificate loan bill through the
House under the most feasible condi-
tions. They already expect the re-
fusal of the Speaker to agree to sus-
pension of the rules. If the President
does not come to their rescue a new
set of rules win be brought in on Tues
day and after some resistance adopted.
The bill will then be put on the
skids and damned" through with
neatness and dispatch in accordance
with the most approved steamroller
methods. There probably will be con-
siderable fireworks connected with the
undertaking, but in the end the will
of the majority will prevail and the
resulting roll call will prove TO "the
soldier boys" the individual favor of
Representatives ambitious to get an
other term.

NATION is WATCHING
ELECTION IN MAINE
Third District Will Choose
New Representative in Con-
gress Tomorrow.
DEMOCRATS SEE HOPE
Nelson and Mclean, Both of
Augusta, Seek Seat Vacated
by John A. Peters.

Special Dispatch 10 THE New YoRK HERALD
BANGOR Me-. March 1s.-on Monday
next the voters of the Third Maine Con-
gressional district will choose Repre-
sentative 20 succeed John A. Peters, who
resigned In January to become Judge
OF the United States District Court. The
candidates are John L. Nelson, an Au-
gusta lawyer, Republican. who defeated
Blaine S. vies in the primary by about
4,500 votes, and Ernest r. Mclean. also
of Augusta, who received the Demo-
cratic nomination without opposition.
Democratic hopes OF victory are based
partly on the national aspect and on the
recent municipal elections in which the
Democrats were successful by wide mar
gins in the cities of Lewiston, Water
willie. Biddeford, Saco and Rockland. In
addition there is a manifest apathy on
the part of Republicans in some parts
of the district, which Is ascribed by
some to the bitterness engendered by the
Nelson-viles primary campaign.
The Democrats are talking of carry
ing Kennebec and Of making big gains
in other counties. The Republicans,
alarmed by Democratic activities, are
gathering their fore make salts
factory showing. W 7t them means
not only a victory ra crushing maj0f
ity as well.
The new elemer In politics, women.
is the subject OF much conjecture. All
though the Republican organization
pioneer work in th.s direction, especially
in the counties OF Kennebec and SOM
erset, has resulted in a strong party
alignment the Democrats claim to have
overcome the early advantages obtained
and that now there is at least an even
chance.
Back OF both campaigns is the con-
sciousness that this election will be
watched all over the country and given
national significance, as showing the
standing of the Harding Administration.
A Democratic victory a close contest in
what is recognized as strongly Repub-
lican territory, will be acclaimed every
where as proof that the Republican ma
tional administration Is not making
good with the people. On the other
hand, a Republican victory which is
signalized by a normal majority will
indicate that Republican national poll
cies are meeting with popular approval.
The vote in the Third District in 1920
for Representative was IS 5S3 for Peters,
Republican, and 1926 for Towle, Demo-
crat.

get away from an awkward situation
as speedily as possible and by the most
direct methods.
The notice given by Leader Mondel
that all the Republican members
should be on hand next week consoled
them to some extent to the obstinacy
OF the Speaker. They interpreted the
Mondell notice to mean that the bonus
bill would be taken up next week and
disposed OF.
Discussion regarding the probable
conclusions of President Harding
clearly indicated the belief, encouraged
by the leaders, that he will not put
himself on record in opposition to the
certificate loan plan when he realizes
that every important leader OF his
party in the House is in favor OF it,
When attention was called to the
Presidents direct statements on this
poi,t he bonus Representatives still
insisted he would not seriously inter-
fere wien their plans. They intimated
that If he did 1.-The responsibility for
killing the bin will be on the Presi-
dents shoulders and not those of the
members of the House OF. Representa-
tives."
In tie Senate wing of the Capitol
the bonus was tabooed, the minds OF
the members of that body being GEN.
tered on the fight over the interna-
tional treaties. Comments made re-
gardng the bonus situation in the
House reflected the deep rooted con-
viction that the measure would not
get through .he Senate regardless of
its treatment in the lower house.
Senator Lodges Decision.
The most interesting incident in
connection with bonus on the Senate
side was the decision of Senator Lodge.
the majority leader, to take his stand
alongside of President Harding. Tie
Massachusetts Senator, who expressed
his sympathy for the bonus project
generally, limited his comment regard
ing the certificate loan plan befoxe the
House to the statement that he would
not favor any measure which did not
provide a source of revenue to pay the
bill
As the Eordney measure contains
no such provision the criticism of
Senator Lodge is accepted as indi-
eating his probable opposition to it.
/ The declaration is OF the utmost i'm
portance because it isolates Leader
Mondell of the House. Representa-
tive Garrett, the Democratic leader of
that body, is unalterably opposed to
the bonus scheme. So is Senator I'm
derwood, the minority leader of the
upper house. Messrs. Fordney and
Mondell, in fact. are the only promi-
nent officials in either house who favor
the passage of the certificate loan bill

Further proof that the war risk in
surance plan adopted for the benefit of
the soldiers was intended to take the
place of supplementary compensation is
contained in letter written to President
Wilson by w. G. McAdoo, then Secretary
of the Treasury, on July 81, 1917.
In outlining the plan. which he subse-
ouently explained TO the Committee on
Foreign and Interstate Commerce OF the
House. Secretary McAdoo said:
But it ought also to check any future
attempt at service pension legislation
by enabling a man now to provide
against the inipairments of old age, total
disability or death resulting from other
causes and to give all this protection to
those kindred who may be dependent
upon him and who do not share in the
Government compensation.
THE minds of our soldiers and sailors
should be put at rest so FAR as their
loved ones are concerned by the knowl-
edge that they will be amply provided
for by the Government as part of the
compensation for the service they are
rendering to their country. In like man
