SEES PRICE INCREASE
IF BONUS IS VOTED
Robert lie Fevre Predicts Halt Of
Nve-Billion Fund Would Be
Turned Into Cash.

If soldiers bonus were paid, within
thirty days half Of tho government
drafts would be cashed, Robert lie
Levre declared at q meeting: of the
Thirteen Club last night at the City
Club. Figuring that the bonus repre-
sents an outlay Of at least $4,000, ,000,-
600, he said that this would mean food
ing the country with half that amount
in cash. AS result, he think prices
would be boosted and the veterans
would be paying excessive prices for
things long after their bonuses had
been spent.
Speaking on the subject. "Why Am
Against the Bonus" he argued that
that any assistance to the veterans
from the government In the form of
bonuses would not afford any perma-
nent relief. While some of the ex-
service men might use the money to
start in business ventures, etc. he be-
lieves that most Of them would not
reap any material benefit, either using
the extra money for current expenses
or simply wasting It.
