PUBLISH THE REPORTS

The Jacksonville Journal takes up
the budgets for the sick and crippled
ex-service men. Grover Cribb5, the
ex-soldier it refers to in the follow
ing is Marion County boy:
Regardless of how the Veterans
Bureau disposes of the Moriarti case,
the fact remains that there are other
cases in Florida equally entitled to
disposition. Men are suffering and
dying for the lack of government care
"Red tape" is claiming its victims.
For instance, there's the case of G.
C. Cribs, of Raiford, Florida.
Why does not the Veterans Bureau
do something about this case? Why
the delay? Especially when delay
means death!
The case of Cribs has been before
the Veterans Bureau more than
year.
No disposition of it is in sight
Physical examination shows the man
has consumption. Cribs claims it is
attributable to army service. He is en-
titled to have his claim Investigated
and settled-not after year of in
activity, not even after four months,
or weeks, but at once.
His claim may be good Or it may
not be. according to government rules.
He may be entitled to disqualification,
or he may not be. But he is entitled,
by all rules of fairness and decency,
to have his case considered without
delay and disposed of.
The man is bed-ridden and broke.
He has one lung completely gone and
the other lung is diseased. He is not
confined in government hospital nor
is he receiving one cent of government
compensation.
c. H. Kennerly. and attorney of
Palatka, who is assisting Cribs in
his fight for justice free of charge,
went to Washington more than a year
ago and presented the veterans claim
to the Bureau of War Risk Insurance
in person. Glowing promises of i'm
mediate action on the case were made
These promises are still untitled.
| Cribs is not the only one. There
are others. In Florida. In Jackson
vile!
And yet the medical subdivision of
icer in Jacksonville says an ex-ser-
vice man can get action on his case
in eight hours The statement is
ridiculous! 1t is refuted entirely by
multitude of facts.
By the way, why not release fol
publication the medical reports in the
case of Cribs?
The Journal knows the publication
of these reports is against government
orders, but since the precedent has
been set in the Moriarti case, let's
have all the medical reports on file
in the Veterans Bureau published
Since an example was made of the
Moriarti case, it appears a concentrat.
ed effort is being made to discredit it
but that will not go. Those officials
connected with the Veterans Bureau
who have been running around sprink.
ling hush powders are in for the sur
prise of their lives.
An evil cannot be cured by hushine

1t must be met truthfully and will

the strike of the shopmen extends to

if that in turn brings on sympathetic

That the merger OF the American
Motors Export Company, of Jackson
vile with the Hanson Motor Company
of Atlanta, "means much for Florida"
and will prove ''great benefit to the
stockholders" the Jacksonville OBJ
server INDUCES in several pages of
splendid boosting matter for the At
lanta concern. There seems to have
been erected in Jacksonville, entirely
through the contributions of Florida
people, splendid building where an
entirely new design in automobiles

ASSEMBLING plant, it is true-just as
there vast number of cars of varied
names and natures assembled in many
sections of the United States; but
there promised to be large number
of men employed and there would
have been a good payroll established.
What the newspapers through the
state wish to know is just how this
merger" is to bring about the settle
ment of the bills which were created
by the several agents of the American
Motors Export Company-and when
the money will be forthcoming All
efforts to collect such bills have been
futile in the past; will future efforts
be equally barren? And would the
Jacksonville paper, the Observer,
kindly tell the people of the state
what was merged" when the "merg-
ering" went into effect? The people of
Florida are noted for being frequently
"bit" through the efforts of those COM
ing into the state to work some
scheme; seldom is anyone taken by
the home people.-Kissimmee Valley

in Marion county who have similar
experiences to the people of Osceola
with this concern.
