MILAN STILL FOR
 THE SOLDIER BONUS
Makes Strong Speech in Senate
 for War Veterans
BY eEoRdE H. MANNING

BY GEORGE H. MANNING
 (Washington Bureau of New Britain Herald)
 Washington, Jan. 1S.--In spite of the flood of criticism that has been directed towards him for fayoring passage of the soldier bonus bill, Sem ator George Mclean, of Connecti- cut, has not receded an inch from the position he held last year when he voted in the senate for the soldier bonus, he indicated in g. speech de- livered in the senate a couple of days ago.
 '.On Arnistice Day I went to a neighboring city, and the experience was most reassuring," asserted Sena- tor Mclean. Youth was Vhouting for joy. and tears were running down the cheeks of the aged, including my own. l did not think at the time that they were crocodile tears, and do not think so now. A short time ago we buried an unknown soldier at Airing ton. A ceremony more impressive in its solemn expression of nations undying gratitude was never witness ed. So much for the dead. I think those who did not die deserve some- thing better than abuse or good wishes. Let us see what we could do If we had one-tenth part of the cour- age, one-tenth. part of the spirit of self sacrifice. which animated our sol diers in 1918. Let us see how some of the stay at homes suffered last year from the awful burden of taxation now existing"
 Reads Treasury Reports.
 Senator Mclean then read from the treasury department reports that s24,21e,e0o,0o0 was spent last year in the United States on luSuries, and giving the amounts spent on each item, such as cigars. cigarettes, pianos, art works, yachts, gum. candy ice cream, perfumery, etc, saying: f |
