RELATIVE TO OUR VETERANS

To enact bonus legislation without
providing money with which to pay
the alotments would be-speaking
Softly-a very unwise thing to do.
President Harding is right in setting
his face against any proposal to rely
on the uncertain payment of foreign
loans for money with which to meet
the obligations of bonus. 1t is not
creditable to the proponents.
He had the courage several months
ago to say that conditions did not
warrant bonus at that time. What
with limitation of armament and for
ether reasons the conditions are now
somewhat improved, though it may be
doubted whether he thinks this the
opportune time for such a colossal
undertaking. However. he Is not at
tempting to insist on his conclusions
as he did when a bonus law would
have been a very serious embarrass-
ment. What he is insisting on,
though, is that if Congress shall de-
eide that bonus be undertaken it is
to be presumed it knows where it is
to set the money. In other words it
is up to Congress, with the assurance
that if it tries any stiffness with the
foreign loan possibilities the act will
incur veto by the executive.
Meanwhile the administration is
striving to keep it's pledges to the
disabled veterans. The Federal gov
eminent has appropriated about
S2,175, 100000, all told, has granted
special privileges and exemptions. It
cannot be forgotten that preparation
for the care of the disabled on their
return was very far from adequate
and a lot of incompRncy had to be
weeded out of the administration of
the soldiers relief. There should be
recognition of the splendid work al
ready accomplished and of the eff
ficiency that is being insisted upon
by this administration.

HOW MAKE PEACE IMPRESSIVE?

The majesty of rugged simplicity is
not lost on perceptions capable of
seeing all that IT signifies. But per-
ceptions Of such capacity are not
plentiful. Those affected by glamor
are more numerous. The impressive
dignity OF the Man from Nazareth
does not obscure the fact that many
OF his followers were affected by a
vision OF him as a temporal ruler
surrounded by pomp of power.
The glamor OF warfare has ap-
pealcd to the imaginations of many
generations, but in place of brillian-
cy OF coloring, the thrill of ranks on
ranks in mortal combat, the charges
of cavalry and all that, the field of
operations in the last war became a
huge smudge relieved by little of the
spectacular. There was some pomp
OF circumstance but considered as a
whole the impression on the beholder
of modern warfare was anything but
alluring. Probably never in history
did the combattants acquire such a.
dislike. IL not positive hatred Of war
as occurred in this world during the
years 1e14-191s.
Notwithstanding this, decorations
were lavishly bestowed and many of
them will be proudly handed down to
future generations. Governments
took cognizance of meritorious lead
. crship and conferred such distinction
as they might. But what about rec

Mr.. Sullivan is right in his conviction
that something ought to be done to
give the victories of peace the glamor
which circumstance has stripped
from warfare.
