Ind a saving of cost to the govern ment. The treasury figures would be greatly reduced and the govern ments's fiscal policy would not pc disrupted" :. Senator Bingham: "I am opposed io any legislation which will involve the United States in the necessity f floating a loan for two or three llion dollars at this time. I agree tn Secretary Mellon that the sale government bonds in any such l me would seriously retard return
 lormal business conditions and
 id prolong unemployment. l do ,t interpret the cash payment pro- sal as pension project.
 "As a member of the American Legion since it's inception have tried so do what I could to relieve suf- tering and want among disabled vet ln aviator in France during the war, ! have the greatest sympathy with ny fellow soldiers. We fought for bur country.
 ''But we did not serve as mercen-- lries. We did not enlist because of khat we could get out of 1t. "Our country is again in time of trouble and distress. Our country leeds help in order that normal con- litions may be restored. This is lime for every lover of his country 10 ask how best he can serve it. To attempt to pay the bonus cer- ificates today by floating loan of he size proposed would bring eco- homie disaster. I am sure my fellow soldiers do not desire to harm the tountry for which we fought"
 Minority Leader Garner:
 T am heartily in favor of the passage of cash payment legislation It this session. I believe it will do more to restore prosperity than any piece of legislation before the house. Tt has been pointed out that there is less money in circulation in lhis country per capita than at any time for many years. Payment of inc funds owing the veterans would not only help those in need now. but would help every one. The money would be spent in every part of he country and stimulate trade everywhere.
 Any form of legislation that is likely to pass will not take anywhere near the amount Secretary Mellon estimates.
 The bill I have sponsored would ake only about a billion dollars in addition to the $7O0,000,O0O which has accumulated in the treasury to meet the certificates at maturity"
 Representative Bachrach:
 'I am opposed to the cash bonus payment. This is a very seriols mat Ter and requires careful considera- ion. The treasury has, stated 1t would Affect the bond market to issue ponds now to cover the bonus, in Iact, has affected it already. It would Affect the business of the country. ''I think if we could get some leg 61ation in which the wife of the vet Dran would be considered, that would Ae better way to approach the natter. This agitation for cash bonus is fore-runner of a pension Hstem and I do not think veterans Fat that. It all has been started by professional agitators."
 The charges against Butler. off, ers said, probably will be one of the blowing: CD Conduct unbecoming h officer and a gentleman. CD Con- fuct prejudicial to good order and fscipline. Either, they added. ap- hrently would embrace the act of bhich Butler is accused.
 Amid this storm of international rotest and naval legal proceedings. Butler, tall. slender fighting man 49 who has seen service all over he globe, remains silent and appar- ntly unmoved. Isolated at Quan- leo. which he has tried to make a hodel military establishment, he re- nses to answer outside telephone Alls. Omcers at the base. comman which has been turned over temp rarily to Brigadier General Ran olph c. Berkeley, have been in- tructed not to talk about Buffers hflculties. '-
