THE BONUS BUCK

The military bonus bill Is expected TO pass the
House soon by a big majority. Hostile leaders are
said to be acquescng in such action and planning TO
let the measure pass in the Senate too virtually with
out protest They talk of letting the bill go to the
President for his veto, and then make their real fight
against the bonus when the attempt made to pass 1t
the veto
This may be good parliamentary tactics, or good
politics. or BOTH but somehow it fails to strike the
average citizen very favoraby, whether ne is for or
against the bonus. The typoaly American procedure
is to fight for thing when you care Tor IT, and tight
against it when you against it, first, last and all
the time Any other kind of action invites the charge
OF insincerlty.
Why give false impression Of unanlmlty Tor the
Bonus when the first vote is taken ii there no unan-
imity? And why pass the buck to the White House?
