CASH BONUS FOR
SOLDIERS LOSES
OUT IN SENATE
BY United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, April 23.-Cash
bonus advocates today lost their
fight in the senate.
The Copeland amendment to the
bonus bill (which would have per-
mitted ex-soldiers to obtain money
instead of insurance policies as ad-
journed compensation if they desir
ed, was voted down.
Tie action was consider indicative
of impending adoption of the insur-
ance policy bill by . large major
ity.
The vote was 38 TO Az.
Underwood, a strong opponent of
any bonus, announced he would vote
for the cash option substitute.
~ do not believe we should pay
any bonus, but if we are going to
pay a bonus let us be honest with
the soldiers instead of attempting
to fool them," Underwood said.
"You promised to pay them cash
so now stick to your promise.
eff anything is due them it is
due them in money! not an insurance
policy which merely is crude and
perceptible political trick
Underwood described the bill as
"mock and fraud upon the sold
iers.'
Amendment by Senator Wads-
worth, New York, Republican max
ing Philippine scouts and Porto
Rican forces eligible for the bonus
was adopted without a record vote.
An amendment which would pre-
vent banks from charging compound
interest on loans of veterans merely
because they were in arrears in their
payments, proposed by Senator Pat
Harrison, Democrat of Mississippi,
was adopted by vote of AZ to 3S.

which was made known to him at
