 Confusion on Finance

SdlIcIlHS dScICys
 Confusion on Finance Shouse's organization and public ity machine at national headquarters here has been doing a splendid, ef- fective job for the party, nearly all democrats admit, and should be in- creasingly helpful as time goes on. No one wants it to close down. But this is a bad time to depend on in- dividual democrats for contributions and there seems to be confusion among various groups in the party as to what is the best financial pol icy to adopt.
 A majority of the committee pre- sumably will play ball with the na- tional management at the conclave in planning the framework of leg islative program which will under take to express the party attitude on such matters as farm relief and economic measures to combat de- pression. Some members of con- gress, however, are already promis- ing that they will not feel bound by any general expression the commit tee may make.

VETERANS PARADE
AT ENCAMPME
Jahncke Asks V. F. w. Delay
Demands for u. S. Aid Un-
til Depression Ends.
BY the Associated Press

| BY the Associated Press.
/ KANSAS CITY, September MAR
| tial strains and the tramp of march
| ing feet dominated the program of the
thirty-second annual encampment of
the Veterans of Foreign Wars here to-
day.
| A parade of more than 5000 marchers
| through Kansas City's downtown sec
ton replaced the morning business ses-
sion of the veterans. Assigned to the
line of march were the various State
delegations of veterans wearing their
blue and gold overseas caps; members
of the G. A. R., 10 bands and 80 drum
and bugle corps.
The band of the 10th Engineers, Mis-
souri, National Guard, was selected as
| the musical escort for Paul c. Wolman
of Baltimore, national commander in
chief.
Jahncke Asks Delay on Demands.
/ Ernest Lee Jahncke, Assistant Secre-
tary of the Navy, IN an address TO the
! former service men last night, urged
them to withhold demands for addition
al Federal aid until the economic de-
preston has passed.
Declaring that at no time since the
World War have veterans been con-
! fronted with SO great an opportunity
for service to the Nation, the Assistant
| Secretary said:
II speak particularly of legislation
for the benefit of veterans. You are
confronted with the alternative of de-
handing additional Federal benefits at
this critical period or holding your pro-
poSalS in abeyance until the time-not
| far off, we hope-when increased ex-
penditures would not have a seriously
! injurious effect upon economic recovery.
Hines Promises Aid to Needy.
THE fundamental principles of vet
Grams relief are not the issue. Last
! year your Government distributed ST.
| 600, 100000 among veterans and veter-
ans dependents. This was two-flfths
J of our total expenditures.
THE Federal treasury can Ill afford
to spend that much next year. and SO
am confident you will approach the
/ question of increased expenditures in a
spirit of unselflshness and wise pa
! triotiSm."
Jahncke said the depression is "the
inevitable result of many factors, in
Guiding the World War. decentralization
of silver in India and China, disruption
of commerce in Asia, uncomfortable
overproduction of agriculture through
out the world, re-entry of Russia into
the world market and above all the un-
exampled mechanization of industry"
Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines. director
Of the United States Veterans admins

the delegates that mo veterans we
know about will be In need Of food or
