clare that a person using the words

adjusted service certificates. The bill
was referred to the finance committee
for consideration
Representative Romiue. Democrat,
cf Missouri intends to press vigorously
for the adoption of the principle under
lying his bonus amendment 1t pro
vides primarily that veterans unable
to obtain loans on their certificates
from banks may apply directly to the
Veterans Bureau.
Like many other members Mr. Rom
iue believes the situation throughout
the country is clearing up. but there
are certain provisions of the law put.
ting what he believes to be unneCeS-
sarv burdens on the banks, which he
seeks to avoid. Chief among these is a
requirement that banks. on making
loans upon certificates, transmit to the
Veterans Bureau the name of the
borrower. the amount of the loan and
other detailed information.
In Mr.. Romjue's opinion ii is en-
tirely unnecessary for banks to fur
nish the Veterans Bureau with this
information. except in cases where the
borrower fails to make payment ON
expiration Of the note.
Mr.. Romiue declared that one Of his
chief objections to this provision is be
cause such records are public prop
erty and available tn any person OF
financial institution who may wish TO
obtain the information for private
gain.
