London, June 2O.-The other day
a colored gentleman with a beard
ed benevolent face, a white cowl and
the hugest gray felt hat ever seen,
landed in Paris and was received
with full military honors. He was
the Ras Taffari, prince regent OF
AEyssinia. .
Also he is a lineal descendant, So
the chroniclers. of his country say,
of the very famous and beautiful
Queen of Sheba, who paid a very
celebrated visit to King Solomon.
But there was one big difference
between the Ras and his lovely an
cestor. The queen brought to the
land of Palestine ivory, apes and
peacocks and other strange beings.
The Ras brought to France lot OF
maps and statistics. He is interested
in what the white man calls prog
ress. He wants his country to boom.
So he wants some more, French
money to make extensions to the
railway system in his country and
he wants to develop p seaport
whence the products of Abyssinia
may find their, way to the white
mans markets.
Thus one more land of olden ro-
nance is being opened to up-to-the-
minute business civilization.

The payment of millions of dollars
in back compensation to disabled
veterans of the World War hinges
between the national rehabilitation
committee of the American Legion
and the United States Veterans Bu-
reau.
The Legion committee. through its
chairman, Watson B. Miller, has
taken decided issue with Director
Hines against his preliminary in
structions to the field offices that pay
ment Of retroactive compensat tion to
those persons whose cases have been
presumptively connected with serv-
ices under section 200 of the World
War veterans act of 1924, may not
be made for any period prior to the
date of the passage and approval of
the act, June Z, 1924.
The preliminary ruling Of the bu-
reau, 1t Is said, does not affect any of
those claims which have been con-
nected with service by historical
facts, wherein under the provisions of
section 210 of the act. compensation
may he paid retroactively for one
year prior to the filing of claim, the
amount depending upon the physical
condition Of the claimant during that
period. 1t Is the Legion's announced
purpose to place upon this same
status those claims which have not
been connected with service through
tho operation of the "presumptive"
clause in the new act.
In disagreement with Director
Hines Interpretation Of the act, Mr..
Miller declared: ut seems to me that
we have here the proposition In sec
ton zoo OF the law clearly recognize
ing that a claimant who is presump-
lively connected shall be presumed to
have acquired his disability in such

July 2, 1921. In this phrasing there 10
a definite retroactivity in that the
time q man acquired his disability In
placed back within q period now Some
years remote. Granting that the ex-
service person acquired his disability
during some period prior to the en-
actment of the World War veteranS
act Of 1924, would you inform me
wherein that act provides that he
shall not be compensated during that
disability, providing claim has been
nled? I recognise that the disability
must be of compensate degree ana
that no compensation shall be pay
able for any period moro than ono
year prior to the date of claim a.
provided In section 210 of the act,
This is a question of when the dis
abled man acquired his right Sec
ton 200 states this clearly as being
between the date of April 6, 1917, and
July 2, 1921. Compensation then
should be payable subject only to the
limitations of section 21o."
Mr.. Miller stated that the fact that
definite ruling on the retroactivity
clause of the act has been withheld
since the passage Of the act more
cate that the Legion's point will be
won.
