Bill Is Held UnWise

The patriotism of our people is
not a material thing. It is spirit
ual thing. We can not pay for it
with government aid. We can hon
or those in need by our aid. And
it is q fundamental aspect of free
dom among us that no step should
be taken which burdens the nation
with a privileged class who can care
for themselves.
I regard the bill under consider
alton as unwise from the standpoint
of the veterans themselves and I'M
wise from the standpoint of the well
fare of all the people. The future of
our World war veterans is i1lsep-
arably bound up with the future of
the whole people.
The greatest service that we can
render both veterans and the public
generally is to administer the affairs
Of our government with a view to
the well-being and happiness of all
the nation.
The matter under consideration
is of grave Importance in itself;
but of much graver Importance is
the whole tendency to open the fed
eral treasury to thousand pur-
poses, many admirable in their in
tentlons, but in which the propon-
ents fail or do not care to see that
with such beginnings manv of them

Many to Get Small Aid

The sole appeal made for reopen
ing of the bonus act is the claim
that funds from the national treas
ury should be provided to veterans
IN distress as the result of the
drought and business depression.
There are veterans unemployed and
IN need today, in common with
many others of our people.
These, like the others, are being
provided the basic necessities of life
by the devoted committees in those
parts of the country affected by the
depression or drought. The govern
ment and many employers are Civ
ing preference to veterans in en-
ployment.
Their welfare is and should be a
matter OF concern to our people.
Inquiry indicates that such care is
being given throughout the country,
and it also indicates that the num-
Der of veterans in need of such re-
lief is a minor percentage of the
whole.
Utility of this legislation as relief
to those in distress is far less than
has beeen disclosed. The popular
assumption has been that as the
certificates average $1,000, then each
veteran can obtain $500 by way of q
loan.
But this is only an average, and
more than one-half will receive less
than this amount. In fact, more
than 100000 men will be able to
borrow less than 5000, and of these
more than 100000 will be able tc
borrow only an average of SIS.

Thousands Not in Need

Furthermore, there are 100000
veterans whose certificates have
been issued recently, who under the
proposed law will have no loan PRIV
ilege until their certificates are two
years old. 1t therefore is urgent in
any event that local committees
continue relief to veterans, but this
legislation would lead such local
committees and employers to as
sumo that these veterans have been
provided for by the federal treas
ury, and thereby threatens them
with greater hardshipS than before.
The breach of fundamental prin-
ciple IN this proposal is the require
ment Of the federal government to
provide an enormous sum of money
70 vast majority who are able to
care for themselves and who are
caring for themselves.
Among those who would receive
the proposed benefits are included
$4,000 veterans and 100000 depend
ents, who already are receiving some
degree OF allowance or support from,
the federal government. But. in
addition to these, it provides equal
benefits for scores of thousands of
others who are in the income-tax
paying class, and for scores Of thou
sands who are holding secure posi-
tons in federal, state and local
governments and in every profession
and industry.

Poor People of Nation Will Suffer, President
Declares in His Message Warning Con
gress Of III Effects of Measure

1t is suggested as reason for
making these provisions applicable
to all veterans, that we should not
make public distinction between
veterans in need and the others who
comprise the vast majority, lest we
characterize those deserving help as
a pauper class.
On the contrary, veterans in need
are and should be a preferred class,
that a grateful country would be
proud to honor with its support.
Adoption Of the principle of aid to
the rich or to those able to support
themselves in itself sets up a group
Of special privilege among our citi-
Zens.
The principle that the nation
should give generous care to those
veterans who are i'll, disabled, in
need, or in distress, even though
these disabilities do not arise from
the war, has been accepted fully by
the nation

Loan Idea Held Wronq

1t is argued that the distribution
OF the hundreds of millions of dol.
lars proposed by this bill would
STIMULATE business generally. VIZ
can not further the restoration OF
prosperity by borrowing from some
OF our people, pledging the credit
OF all the people, to loan to some
OF our people who are not in need
of money.
II the exercise of these rights
were limited to expenditure upon
necessities only, there would be nc
stimulation to business. The theory
OF stimulation is based upon the
anticipation of wasteful expenditure.
1t can be of no assistance in the
return of real prosperity.
II this argument of proponents is
correct we should make government
loans to the whole people.
= 1t is represented that this meas
ure merely provides loans against
a future obligation and that, there
fore, it will cost the American pee
pie nothing. That is an incomplete
statement.
A cost at once arises to the people
when instead of proceeding by an
nual appropriation the government
IS forced to secure huge sum by
borrowing or otherwise, especially
in the circumstances of today, when
we are compelled in the midst of
depression to make other large Dor
rowings to cover deficits and refund
ing operations.
An increased rate of interest
which the government must paw
upon all long-term issues is inev-
liable. 1t imposes an additional
burden Of interest on the people
which will extend through the whole
term Of such loans

HOOVER BRANDS BONUS BILL BAD FOR IT, s

of Woodworking families in our
country who are striving to pay the
debts which they have incurred in
acquiring homes and farms, in the
endeavor to build protection for
their future.
They, in the last analysis, must
bear the burden Of increasing gov
eminent aid and taxes. 1t is not
the rich who suffer. When we TAXI
employment and taxes from oul
people it is the poor who suffer.
There is a very serious phase OF
this matter for the wives and chill
dren Of veterans and to the future
security Of veterans themselves
Each Of these certificates is an en-
dowment insurance policy. Any
money advanced against them, to-
gether with its interest, will be de-
Quoted automatically from the
value Of the certificates in case OF
death or upon maturity.
No one viii deny that under the
pressures or allurements of the mo-
ment, many will borrow against
these certificates for other than abb
solutely necessary purposes. The
loss to many families means the de-
struction Of the one safeguard at
their most critical time.
1t can not be commended that the
interests of the families of our
country are conserved by either
casiling or borrowing upon their
life insurance policies.
I have no desire to present none
tary aspects of the question except
SO far as they affect the human
aspects. Surely it is a human aspect
to transfer to the backs of those
who toll, including veterans, a bur-
den of those who by position and
property can care for themselves.
1t is a human aspect to incur the
danger Of continued or increased
unemployment. It is human
aspect to deprive women and chill
dren Of protection by reckless use OF
an endowment policy. Our country
is rich enough to do any justice. Nc

for the members and their children,
with Mrs. Andrew J. Grimes as
chairman. Two very real ghosts
stood on the platform ready to well
come anyone who came their way.
Fodder, apples, black cats, witches,
and all of the things we associate
with Halloween were there as a
background for the games that were
played, some for the children, some
for the members. Mrs. Harry Null
holland proved a very good forecas-
ter for the future. Prizes were Civ
en- for ringing the cat, finding the
mouse, guessing the number of ap-
pies in the basket and walking the
wall. 1t was a day of good fun, af-
ter which refreshments were serV-
ed.
Next week Mrs. Harry Humes will
give her travel talk. 1t was decided
to make it a guest day.
Mrs. A. Donnell Marshall was re-
instated as a member of the club.

OUR THANKS FOR
BEAUTIFUL DAHLIAS

About the town of Magnolia, in
Kent county, near Barratt's Chapel,
exists zone which produces all
kinds of flowers in gorgeous cOlors
and wonderful size and quantity.
The ladies have put to select the
kind desired and point the location
for planting the seed or setting the
bulbs, and nature proceeds to re-
ward those who took heed i'll season
for their care. DR.. and Mrs. James
Martin reside on the main street of
Magnalia, and each season devote
part of their flower garden to the
production of beautiful dahlias. For
size, gorgeous cOlors and beautiful
formation, these flowers come to
charming perfection. This week
samples of more than half a dozen
varieties and colors were brought
to the Milford Chronicle office with
compliments of the growers. Words
can not convey the beauty of this an
nual compliment to the Chronicle
from DR.. and Mrs. Martin. The brush
of an artist alone could in part de-
scribe them. The office of the Mil
ford Chronicle and the scores who
pass the windows of its home, ap-
preciate and thank the kind friends
for their remembrance.

Relative to the present general
conditions existing throughout the
Peninsula, Mr.. TOtten stated that

for several weeks have been cover
ing various sections, report a sound
confidence and a determination on
the part of Del-Mar-Va residents to
maintain IHC oplCllulu OpllIllolh

Del-Mar-Va is today showing less
evidence of a depressed condition
than any other similar area from
which direct information has been
secured. Visitors from many sec

ton headquarters to express their
genuine surprise in finding such

an enlargement of its advertising
program t0 include not only the use
of the mediums, which the associa-
tiOn knows to be of the greatest
value from its past experiences, but
to supplement this with literature
devoted to the individual features of

that the coming year will result in
