SOLDIER LOANS
SEEN spur TO
TRADE IN U. S.
$400,000,000 Poured Into
Business Channels by
Bonus Act.

By Scripps-Hotoard Net0spaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, May 10. - APP
proximately s4OO,OOO,OOO has been
placed in circulation since congress
liberalized the loan provisions Of the
bonus act.
This new buying power, some
economists feel, was largely re-
sponsible for the slight recovery
shown in all charts for the latter
part of February. Whether it will
continue to help 10 q matter Of argu-
ment, as is the subject of how the
veterans are using this money.
Ralph O'Neill, national COM
mander Of the American Legion, in
sists the funds are going for neces-
stiles and to relieve distress. Dur
ing the debate in the senate, SEN
stor Daniel o. Hastings (Rep.,
Dell, argued that the ex-soldiers
would waste the loans on Injuries,
and that the general effect on bust
ness would be harmful.
Figures Below Predictions
The exact figures through the
week of May 2 show that 1,785, 593
have borrowed the so per cent au-
thorized in the recent act, the total
Of such loans reaching $680021, 0O0
Since the amount that could be
borrowed previously was only 22.5
per cent, $400,000,000 is a fair eS-
70 ~
This IS far below the figures pre-
dicted by President Hoover and
Secretary Mellon when they were
trying to defeat the bill It is sew
eral hundred millions short OF the
estimates Of congressional sponsors
Of the measure, who predicted a
total cost Of between $500,00O 900
and $750000,000
Applications DwindIe
The total borrowed since loans
became available several years ago
is $1,024, 500, 900, advanced on 4,O65, :
299 applications. In many cases
one veteran has made several ap-
plications He may have borrowed
first when the loan was limited to
3 per cent of the face value, up
piled again when it was raised to
22.5 per cent, and still a third time
when it reached the maximum Of
so per cent.
Applications have dwindled from
about $1,000 a week early in April
to around 10000 but business is
still fairly brisk. More than 5000
applications we're acted on in the
week ending May Q

She is doing the work in collabo-
ration with c. w. Walker Jr. of
Kansas City, her musical director,
who accompanied her on the voy-
age.
Among the subjects dealt with in
the Mcpherson Walker production

voyage Of Noah and his ark. During
the voyage, Mrs. Mcpherson &C
quired a son-in-law, who has joined
the ranks of the unemployed.
Just before the Dollar liner Pres
ident Wilson sailed from San Fran
cisco, William Bradley Smyth, the
purser, was instructed to pay par
ticular attention to the Mcpherson
party.

Those unsung heroeS-dogs which

done by a human being would bring

BY HARRY KING,

President, Washington Chamber of Commerce.
In modern times the civic RESPONSE
bility of the individual has become
thoroughly established, and 1t is gener-
ally recognized that to be a good citizen
a man must not only function as an
economic unit of society, but must also
be willing to help his less fortunate
brother
The Community Chest Of Washington,
which is about to launch its third an
nual appeal, is the best means whereby
this responsibility may be carried out.
The economy of the Chest has al
ready been demonstrated-6 or 7 per
cent as against IS to 20 per cent. This
means that SO or "a cents of every
dollar raised can go directly into serv-
ice, as against 80 to IS per cent under
the old hit-or-miss competitive solicit
tation.
Workers Time Is Saved.
These savings do not take into ac-
count the time of executives and work
ers of member organizations who, under
this plan, are permitted to give their
full energies to their task of human
service It also relieves the board mem
bers Of the organizations Of the burden
of money-raising, with its manifold
problems recurring yearly.
Our city is now facing the most
serious economic depression in a gen.
Grafton. Despite the fact that the large
Government pay roll, safeguarded by
the Civil Service regulations, provides
security for many of our people, this

REED WANTS VETO
OF COURT FOR U. S.
Pennsylvania Senator "on
Fence" Unless Safeguards
Are Assured.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PresS.
A reservation to the revised protocol
of American adherence to the World
Court is favored by Senator Reed, Re-
publican, Pennsylvania, one of the
Foreign Relations Committee which
now has the document.
Senator Reed during examination
yesterday Of Elihu Root before the
committee said he was ION the fence"
on the court issue. He said later that
with a reservation making certain the
contention of Mr.. Root that the re-
vised protocol did not impair safe
guards previously provided by the
Senate, he would have no opposition to
the protocol.
The Pennsylvania wants it speci-
fically provided by a reservation
that America has an absolute veto"
against the World Court rendering an
advisory opinion in which this country
has, or claims to have, an interest,
without its consent
The court advocates believe they will
need every vote they can muster to
win ratification of the revised protocol
anC Lnere Is an expectation btldG the
Reed suggestion may be advanced to
gain supporters.
Meanwhile, with the World Court
debate postponed by the committee I'M
til next December, the foes estimate
they have % votes against ratification.
Some believe ratification can be de-
feated Only one-third is necessary to
block it.
The testimony yesterday of Mr.. Root
failed to change the views of the out

EIQUOR EXPORTING
RETURN PLANNED
Canadian M. P. Says Ban
''HaS Brought Nothing
But SIapS in Face"

WINDSOR, Ontario, January % (By
the Canadian Press) The report pre-
sented to Congress by the Law Enforce
ment Commission StreSSing the claim
that the Canadian anti-export law has
failed to reduce the flow Of hquor to
United States Is to have an echo at the
next session of the House of Commons
Col. Sidney C. Robinson, NJ P. for
Essex West and sponsor Of a motion now
on the ord2r paper at Ottawa, calling
for abandonment of the export ban and
return to legalized exporting said
today he would comment '1n emphatic
words" on the Wickersham Commits
sion's admission. Raymond D. Morand
M. P, for Essex East, said he would
support Col Robinson's stand.
Col. Robinson recalled that when
United States officials paved the way
for negotiations with Canada. which
resulted in the Mackenzie King govern
ment introducing legislation which end
ed legal export of liquor, the claim was
made that this step would aid greatly
in enforcing prohibition across he line
Receive "SIaps in Face"
"Carsda's gesture of neighborly good
will" the colonel declared, "has brought
nothing but slaps in the face ever
since"
Since legal exporting has stopped, he
declared, Canada has lost SIS, 900 900 in
revenu9. He quoted an Ottawa dispatch
as his authority for the figures.
Dr. Morand said that in view Of the
Wickersham report it would seem futile
on the part of Canada to continue to
prohibit the eXporta ton of liquor
Canadian newspaper comment upon
the Wickersham report:
Toronto Mail and Empire: This re-
port upon which the Wickersham Com
mission has spent so much time and
care should at least be warning to
prohibitionistS in Canada. We believe
that governmental control now in vogue
in the different provinces is the best
way Of dealing with the liquor evil.
Hasn't Revealed Anything"
Ottawa Journal: The commission
hasn't got anywhere, hasn't said any,
thing that tens of thousands haven't
said before. hasn't revealed anything
that everybody didn't know before. So
Volsteadism, and all that goes with It.
VIII go on for the present. There will
be speakeasies, and bootleggers, shoot
ings and briberies, and wood alcohol
poisonings and deaths.
Montreal Star: About the only thing
the commission agreed upon is that
prohibition Is not now being enforced.
They appear to be unanimous in find-
ing that the conditions Of enforcement
Of the prohibition laws, as a whole, are
unsatisfactory. OF some interest to
Canadians Is the conclusion that the
King governments legislation placing
an embargo upon liquor destined for
the United States has been a failure.
Canada has sacrificed considerable rev.
enue by reason of this futile gesture,
and at a time when the national in
come from other sources is declining.
