D. c. VETERAN IS
GIVEN LEGION
OFFICE
Capt. Watson B. Miller Will
Head Rehabilitation Efforts
for Ex-SoIdiers.

Capt. Watson B. Miller, past de-
partmental commander of the Dis
trict Of Columbia department Of the
American Legion, was today APP
pointed chairman Of the rehabilita-
ton committee for the national or
ganiZation with headquarters in this
city. He is a member of the Henry
G. Spengleer Post of Washington and
has just retired as national vice COM
mander Of the legion, having served
with Alvin G. OWsley, retired COM
mander.
The appointment of Captain Miller
to the dictatorship Of the rehabilita-
ton work was the result of the visit
to Washington Of the new comman-
der, John r. Quinn, who left last
night for his California home. He
will return after the first of the year
to assist in the legion's battle before
Congress for adjusted compensation.
Captain Miller, while departmental
commander here and in his capacity
as vice commander of the legion, has
been instrumental in assisting de-
serving veterans in their claims on
the Veterans Bureau for back COM
pensation, disqualification, insurance
and vocational training. In veteran
circles throughout the country Cap
tain Miller is known for having ac-
complished coordination between the
veterans and the Government agen-
cies created in their interests.
He has been constantly in contact
with the various legislative steps
which have been proposed in benalf
of the veteran and veteran problems
and his appointment to the rehaoili-
tation Craftsmanship comes with
equal satisfaction to the legion as it
does to the Veterans Bureau where
he has established himself as friend
of both.

message, and that is, the President
leads out in this important issue.
We should, as a Congress, take up
the subject, put 1t to the front,
work out the best measure possible,
and enact it into law. This Con-
gress can render no greater service
to the people of this country than
to cut taxes to the lowest possible
cent. Unless we lift this burden to
the extent to which it is possible
to lift 1t, we shall totally fail to do
our duty.
Russian Policy PIeases.
am gratified with the Russian
Certainly no one desires anything
in the way OF sacrifice Of our
dignity or self-respect or our inter-
ests in the adjustment Of this i'm
portaT1t question. The President ex-
presses the hope that the time Is
near at hand when he may act. /
think am IN q position to say
that the Russian question can be
settled in perfect accord with the
policy announced by the President.
There has not been time in three
years when it could not have been
done. The adjustment Of the Rus
sian problem Is one OF the PROB
lens upon which the world awaits
for sanity and disarmament and
peace. The Ruhr problem Is the
other.
II construe the Presidents
message correctly with reference to
the League and the World Court, I
am in accord with it. He certainly
declares against becoming a mem
Der of the league, and as ! under
stand if, he is against the court
unless the court is divorced from
the league. It can hardly be said
he would advocate staying out OF
the league and yet advocate &C
cepting that kind of court which
would take us into the League. That
would be charging duplicity. The
only fair construction to put on
the proposition is that he wants
nothing to do with the league, and
he wants an international court
wholly divorced from the league. I
should myself be glad to see an
independent international judicial
tribunal established operating under
a BODY Of international law, and,
under those circumstances, the
United States to become a member
of it, But any attempt to put
us into a world court which is con-
nected with the league or dependent
upon the league or any other po-
litical institution, will be fought to
the last ditch.
We are not going to do indirectly
what we declare we are not going
to do directly, and what the people
have Enthusiastically said we must not
do either directly or indirectly.
There is one expression in the Presi-
dents message to which particular
attention ought to be given, and
that il, where he says the court
must be a court for the whole
world. A court which must sit
powerless while one nation is being
dismembered and another outlawed.
is not a world court nor any other
kind Of a court, It is a plaything
Of international political powers.
Let us have an independent inter.
national judicial tribunal law and
then we can afford to go into It.

the rank and file Of the people.
He seems to have bid entirely for
that support Of Republican con-
vention which big business is now
obligated to select for him.
Congressman McFadden. Repub-
lican. Pennsylvania: All in all. a
splendid. strong message, which
should be reassuring to the Ameri.
can public, and is clean-cut so far
as our foreign relations are con-
cerned. I like his position on for
eign affairs, and particularly his
definite stand against the cancella-
ton of debts owed this Government
by foreign countries. am pleased
with his strong Endorsement or Sec
rotary Melons plan for tax reduc.
ton and opposition to payment OF
soldiers bonus.
I am pleased with his reference
to the railroad situation.
Congressman Oldfield, Arkansas,
Democratic Whip: When the Presi-
dent declares against any revision
Of the tariff he takes the side Of the
tariff barons and profiteers. When
he endorses the Mellon tax plan and
declares against soldiers bonus he
takes the side of big business and
Wall street.
Congressman Tincher, Republican,
Kansas: Every one must agree that
the message is plain, concise, pro-
gressive, constructive and that there
no longer will be any comment on
the part of the American people that
Calvin Coolidge has not outlined his
policies specifically.
In my judgment the only thing for
Congress to do Is to enact into law
the recommendations of the Presi-
dent. Some OF us might want some
laws that he has not advocated, but
we will have used our time very
profitably If at this session we are
able to carry out his program an
outlined in his message.

as to make It seem highly probable.
that the House will enact a soll
dier's bonus, which the President
opposes.
Meanwhile also II Is well known
that the highly conservative chair
man of the House Appropriation
committee-Madde Of Illinois Is
strongly opposed to q stronger navy,
which the President recommends.
Meanwhile, further, 1t IL equally
well known that large numbers of
conservatives in both Houses are
strongly opposed to the new Depart
ment of Education and Welfare"

quests.

It is additionally absolutely COM

Floor Leader Longworth in the
House Of Representatives IL en-.
phatically hostile to the terms Of the
proposed sale OF Muscle Shoals to
Henry Ford--a sale which the Preei-
dent plainly advocates, although
without mentioning Ford's name.
The fact is that the more this mes
sage is studied the clearer It be-
comes to Washington that the Presi-
dent in writing It did not consider
the opinions Of either the conserve
tives or the 'progressives" but fol-
lowed his own course ACCORDING to
his own convictions and preferences
Many members Of the "Progree
sIve group" and many members of
the Farm Bloc" are outraged by
the following features of the Presi-
dents message:
Rail Plan An Issue.
His willingness to leave the Esch
Cummins Transportation law I'M
amended in the method which Il pre-
scrlDes for regulating railroad rates.
HIS unW1llingness to organize
Governmental corporations for di.
rect purchasing of wheat from far.
mers at prices above the present
market levels.
HIS approval of the large reduc-
tons proposed by Secretary Of the
treasury Mellon IN the income
taxes of large taxpayers.
On these three points-and e.
pecially on the last Of tl1ena-the
members Of the Progressive
group" and of the Farm Bloc
will in numerous cases oppose the
Presidents recommendations stub
bornly, and will endeavor to sup
plant them with proposals of their.
own.
Appeal to Public Seen.
Considering then that the Presf
dent has not hesTtated to 60 into
conflict with either the conserva-
tives or the 'prcgressives," Il is
rapidly coming to be thought here
that his policy does not include any
alliance between the White House,
and any group or faction in Con
gress but rather a sort Of appeal
to the people on each issue indi-
vidually considered.
It had been supposed that the
President would try to build up q
Republican Washington machine
with cogs which would link the
White House on all issues into the
controlling factions OF the House
| and Senate. This does not seem
now to the best observers here to
be the case. The President by to-
days message is thought by them
| to be moving rather toward a to-
tally Independent White Honse.
