CUT IN ALLOWANCE
!. OF VETERANS IS HIT
Dropping Patent Law Course
Also Hurts Disabled.
Commander Says.

charge that the United States
Veterans Bureau is discriminating
against disabled veterans who have
lust emerged from hospitals TO rake
up vocational training Is contained IN
4 statement issued today by Harold
r. Stephenson. commander of Ma
rional University Chapter of the DIS
ahled American Veterans of the W orlo
War.
Stephenson said he had filed an en-
rhatic protest against a 90 per cent
cut in allowance for school expenses
made recently by the Veterans Bu-
reau. as we'll as against the bureau s
action in diScarding the patent law
course for vocational trainees, whlch
Stephenson alleges is one of the most
desired courses because of the phys
ical infirmities Of the men.
Fear Further Cuts.
I'm view of the fact that the Vet
erans' Bureau is reported to have
turred back SO. 900 900 or thereabouts
10 the Treasury. with the statement
that disabled men in vocational train
ing would not be affected the state
nnent saws. "our chapter has filed OIL
cial protest to bring the situation to
the attention Of authorities there. Hun
dreds of local trainees are affected by
this cut in expense allowance, ana our
chapter believes that it marks the
start of an operation which eNentu-
ally will pare vocational training 10
the nlerest SHADOW of its original pur-
poses.
The action is more deleterious be-
cause of the fact that the majority
nf those affected are men who up to
this time have been confined in hos
pitals, trying to regain some OF the
physical health which they sacrtnced
In the American cause.
Others Had Advantages.
"Those who had speedier cures
were not affected by this cut in al
lowance or the dropping of a course
which is highly In demand as an ideal
training for those who have been
manned and crippled in the war.
Many already have had advantage Of
full allowances and Of the patent law
course, but those whose illnesses were
lingering and whose injuries were
more serious now reach the stage
when they can take advantage Of vo-
cational training only to find handi-
caps placed on them. This strikes at
those who must deserve all that the
Government can bestow on them, and
that's why we are protesting"
The protest of Stephenson has been
fled through W. s. Clark, rehabilita-
ton officer for the Disabled American
Veterans, and similar protest has been
filed on behalf Of the American
Legion by George E. Pickett. 3rd.

BANKERS RAISE BIG

ATLANTIC CITY. y. j., September
29.-The American Bankers Associa-
ton. through Lewis f. Pierson of
New York, chairman of the fiftieth
anniversary committee. announced at
the first general session of the annual
convention today that s216000 of the
necessary 100000 had been sub
scribed for the establishment of 100
$4,000 scholarships in economies in
every State and Territory in the
Union.
Included in this sum was contri-
button of 900 by the executive
council of the association. one of S25,-
900 by the American Institute of
Banking and 26 individual subscrip-
tons of $4,000 each. 1t is expected
the full sum will be raised before the

Pleads for Federal Reserve.
William f. Knox, president of the
aSsocia ton, made a plea for the per-
petuation of the Federal Reserve sys-
tenn. in his opening address. He also
advocated the development of some
plan of personal economies. which,
systenat tically followed. would assure
every worker wise enough to follow
it a modest competence in his old
age.
There is nothing to fear from rad
icalism provided the great mass Of
the American people have true un-
derstanding of the essentials of bust.

Gence exist destructive theories can

Referring TO tax revision, Mr. Knox
said:
Certainly the time has come not
only when individuals but corpora
tions should be considered as entitled
to a measure of relief.
Tax Revision Urged.
Before the repeal of the excess
profits tax merchandise corporations
increased the price of their goods and
made profits on a. rising scale, while
the banks. under the Federal reserve
system, were getting less interest on
their money and paying greater ex-
pense.
while the price of everything was
going up, the price Of money was on
the way down, and as money is the
only commodity banks have, they
were at a great disadvantage.
The banks were compelled to pay
the maximum excess profits tax with
out the opportunity to make excess
profits. The same Is true today
though perhaps to less degree.
"One of the great problems which
must be faced in the near future he
added, lis that of working out some
plan of personal economy and house
hold economy. which, Systematically
followed. will insure to every worker
wise enough to follow 1t a modest com
petence when old age comes on"

2pIcy Of the Cominern Will Be the Policy Otthe Party

After the formation Of the labor
party, whaethe executive emphasized
year ago should be kept in mind
tAat it is not advisable TO endeavor
ID split OF a left wing from the L. p.
as soon as possible in order to trans
form this split-off section into mass
Communist Party. We must rather
endeavor to WIN increasing masses IN
The labor party for the revolutionary
point Of view and to let this left wing
grow within the labor party and at
the same time to take the most adj.
vanced and revolutionary elements
into the Workers Party. This policy
is to be observed both prior to the
formation Of the labor party and SUB.
sequently" srIl
Shall we minimize the role OF the
Workers Party?
"The role OF the Workers Party as
the Communist Party of the country
should neither be obscured nor min
imized."
TNHE Comintern decision demands
L that our party adjust and further
develop its labor party tactics on the
basis Of the present situation in the
United States. This is already being
done. The Central Executive Com
mittee has already formulated a labor
party program which is adjusted to
meet the present situation. On sew
eral important occasions (of which
shall speak In detail in my subsequent
articles) the Central Executive Com
mittee began to apply this reformu
lated policy. Its successful continue
ton will depend in a large measure
upon the unification of the Communists
forces in the party and the complete
liquidation of Lorefsm. This will BIZ
the big job Of the coming party con
vention.
