IN November, 1918. the people elect
eu Republican Con2ress. The frs
session of this newly elected Rerub-
lcan Congress began May 10 1919
With it began practically al Fed al
AID for relief and assistance of those
who served in the World War. An
elaborate program was formulated
providing for hospital and medical aid
Tor all disabled and diseased ex service
men. The program included those
suffering from mental diseases as a
result of their war experience: also
vocational training and rehabilitation:
also financial a,lOtments for those en-
gagged in sue training; also compensa
ton for men totally or partially dis.
abled, and for their dependents; and
ior the dependents Of those who Lied
as a result of injury or disease con
fracted while in the service of their
country.
There was expended to July |.
1922, for the purposes of carving out
this program the sum of S1.435.S543S5.
In addition an appropriation of 1929.
o3S,Si2, has just been made by the
Congress for the Veterans Bureau for
the coming fiscal year This is a great.
er appropriation than made for any
other purpose except in payment of
the public debt.
Following the war the administra-
ton of relief for ex-service men was
divided among several bureaus and this
necessitated tremendous overhead ex.
pense, eating up a disproportionate
amount Of money appropriated for aid
OF World War veterans, and it
occasioned endless delay in hand
ling eX-service mems cases and
put them to unfair expense. To
remedy these evils the Republican
Congress passed a measure, com bin
ing all agencies dealing with ex-serv
ice men under the Veterans Bureau
Following the war, hundreds of thou
sands of veterans permitted their in
surance to lapse. largely because OF
the slipshod manner in which tbeir
claims were handled under the Dem
ocratic administration At the re-
quest of representatives of the ex-serv
ice men the Republican Congress made
it possible for all ex-servce men
whose policies had lapsed to be rein
stated at any time prior to March
1926.
The disqualification and medical
treatment of eX-seryice men was found
to be unsatisfactory and Coneroes
