PRESENT BONUS BILL
PROVIDING FOR CASH
OR PAID INSURANCE
Democrats Say US. Should
Offer Veterans "Coin
of the Realm"

Washington, ID. c., March 5.-A
two-fold soldier bonus plan providing
options of full cash payments or paid
up insurance was proposed to the
House Ways and Means committee to-
day by a committee of veterans repre-
senting House Democrats.
Representative LETTERS, Alabama.
chairman of the Democratic commit
tee, who presented the plan arsded
the government owes former service
men adjusted compensation which
should be offered in the coin Of the
realm"
Full cash payments would elimin-
ate administrative difficulties and
costs involved in other bonus pro-
grams, Mr.. LETTERS said, and would
enable the government to settle the
whole question i'll a year.
II all veterans elected to take the
cash payments, Mr.. LETTERS said. it
would cost S1,319, 100000, which
could be met by bond issue. BE fav-
ors compensation for army officers up
to the rank of captain.
The same basis of figuring ADJUST
ed compensation used in the bill
passed last session-S1 day for
home service and SIPS day for over
seas service-would be applied in the
plan. and payments would be limited
to $500 for home service and 500
for overseas service.
Under the Mckenzie bill, now be-
fore the committee, which Is similar
to that vetoed by President Harding,
cash payments would go only TO those
not entitled to more than $50.
Before receiving the Democratic
plan. the committee inquired into the
activities of the ex-service mems anti
bonus league. Knowlton Durham. pres
ident of the organization, presented
list of contributors to the league and
explained that il was operated on con-
tributions, the 81 dues Of members
being optional.
The league now has about 10000
members, Durham said. and S96,OOO
has been spent in it's operations. the
expenses now running about $1,000
month.
Explaining his opposition TO the
bonus, Mr.. Durham declared he and
members of the league believe the
men of this country went TO war to
protect their own homes and families
and therefore the question of wages
should not be considered. He said he
is member of the American Legion.
Herbert Davenport of Texas pre-
scented a request of men he command
ed in the war for a bonus. He said
until recently he had opposed the boz
nus but found that men who voluu-
teered as mechanics in the air service
considered adjusted compensation as
rightly due them since others had
Joined shipyard crews and earned as
much in a week as they did In a
month.
Representative LETTERS in present.
ing his plan emphasized that it was
advanced "purely in non-partisan
spirit" Representative Murphy. Re-
publican, Ohio, endorsed it, declaring
disposition of the bonus by small cash
payments with the insurance option
would cost less than any other method.
Representatives Begg. Republican,
Ohio, and Lea, Democrat. California.
suggested full cash payments, insisting
the bonus could be better paid by this
means.

Jack Kearns may not have signed
articles for Dempsey fights this sum-
mer. But articles will be signed:
Fighting is Dempsey's business, and
it pays too well to let the champion
waste time. Even the best OF champ
ions has only limited time in the
ring. Dempsey will fight at least
twice this year; perhaps three times.
He talks Of retiring before very long,
but ring champion finds it hard to
stay in. retirement. There is always a
public demand for his temperance
against some youngster who starts
moving down opponents, and the IL
nancial inducements care in proper
ton to the public interest. The pub.
lie always figures that retired
champion Is likely to be beaten il he
comes back, and there is always that
desire to he on hand when champion
ship changes.
Dempsey isn't in danger of losing
his heavyweight title to any boxer
now in sight. But II he stayed out OF
the ring a year there'd be new crop.
Perhaps that is what Mr.. Kearns. who
is a ehrewd business man, counts on
when he talks about Jacks retiring
to an orange grove. Still, Dempsey
is going to have at least one more
busy year. There is some curiosity
about what Firpo might do in a re-
turn match. The last one was exciting
enough to promise that the next will

OTHER SPORT GOSSIP
BY ROBERT EDGREN

Crack, crack, crack. More worids
swimming records gone. Count EN- IN
today's papers. It's dull day in the
news that hasn't at least two or three.
Old Timer is writing me letters about
it. Here's one:
Mr.. Edgren, dear sir:
I notice again where you write up
these swimmers breaking worlds rec
ords. should think by this time you
would be weary of that bunk. Did you
ever figure out how many world 8
records there is with this Wisemuiier
and all the lady swimmers breaking
them every day in the year and how
they get away with it? First a
champion goes out and breaks the
worlds ouarter-mile record in 6O-foot
tank and then he runs around the
country until he finds tank that's
60 feet and six inches and breaks it
again for a 60-foot six inch tank, ana
then he goes to another town where the
club wants a record broken and as
sures him it has 61-foot tank and ne
can break the worlds record for the
fastest quarter mile ever swum in
61-foot tank and that why he can make
worlds records until the tanks run
out. And the same way for 100 yards
and for all the other distances and
when they get through with all the
tanks and the distances they will be
breaking the worlds records for Al
yards and for 101 yards, and of course
there are records for men swimmers
and lady swimmers and juniors and
seniors and relays, and backstrokes
md breast stroke and trudgeon, etc,
in all the tanks, SO there really amt
any limit on the number OF records.
Another thing, don't you know that
swimming records made in tanks eren't
all swimming because every time they
turn they take big kick at the end
of the tanh and that shoots them Off
so fast they don't have to take any
strokes at all for maybe five or SIX
wards and when they get the tanks
down small enough they won't even
have to know how to swim to break all
the worlds swimming records for that
tank because they can just kick and
turn and kick and turn and you take
a timber guy in bath tub and he
could probably break all the records
there is. :,
: I'd like to see some Of these tank
champions swim their races in the
ocean like Bud Goodwin used to OFF
Coney Island and ! bet the last kick.
of they'd get would be from the shore
and they wouldn't know how to turn
around and would 20 out to sea.
Yrs, Old Timer.

working class political party, these
were the two fundamental concep-
tions that were brot home to large
numbers of anti-political labor mill
tants by the November revolution of
the Russian masses. Since the mem
orable days of 1917-191S these two
ideas have been making their way
into the minds of ever larger numbers
of workers in the United States. And
it was these two conceptions that
have mainly contributed towards
clarifying the anti-political tendency
in the left wing and finally crystalliz-
ing good portion Of it into an or
ganic part of what later became the
Workers Party Of America.
A similar process OF differentiation
and Qualification was taking place in
the ranks of the political tendency of
the left wing. This latter group,
which had been growing mainly within
the socialist party, had been moving
for number Of years in the right
direction, namely, away from parlia-
mentary opportunism and toward a
revolutionary conception Of the class
struggle, but it lacked clarity, con-
sistency and determination. Besides
it manifested the same indifference
toward the economic struggles and
mass organizations of the workers as
lid the right wing of Hillquit and Der
ger. This left wing in the socialis
