Mellon Opposes
Payment To Vets
CONTINUED from Page II

(OOntluueu IIOm I8Ve
through a severe economic depres-
sion and there is a large army of
unemployed. I can. say without
qualification the Treasury could not
sell So, 400 .0O0, 900 of bonds except on
terms which would be very hard to
justify and without complete dis
organization of the government and
other security markets.
Coming at this time, such ac-
ton would seriously retard busi-
less recovery and so prolong un-
employment
Mellon said conversion of the cer-
titicates as contemplated would
cost $l50,000000 additional annu-
ally above the cost of carrying the
obligations to the veterans in their
present form. He estimated the re-
sultant increase in interest rates on
other government obligations would
add about 100000, 900 to annual
government expenses.
Under Secretary Mills read to the
committee several previously pub
lished letters written by Mellon in
reference to cash payments. One
of the letters said the payment
would not be in the interest of the
veterans.
"Who is the best judge of that in
terest?" asked Senator Couzens, Re-
publican, Michigan. "The veterans
themselves or the treasury? think
there is some question of good taste
in the treasury attempting to argue
not only its own case but that Of the
veterans
Mills said the individual veteran
would be the best judge of his indi-
yidual interest, but the treasury was
the best Judge of the effect Of the
country and upon the 3,500000 vet
Grams in general"
Melons letter to Chairman Haw-
ley of the house ways and means
committee reiterated objections of
General Hines, administrator Of vet
Grams affairs, that the Garner cash
payment bill would be almost i'm
possible to administer because 1t
would involve more than 5000. 900
recomputations of interest The let
ter also said the bill would add
s375 900 600 to the cost of the cer-
tificates by including in the cash
payment the Is per cent premium
provided for the insurance certifi-
Gates.
Mills said the Is per cent was add
ed to make the deferred payment
insurance plan more attractive TO
the veteran.
II think that 25 per cent was
added said Senator Connally, Ito
make up for the fact that the insur-
ance was not issued until 1925, seven
years after the war and no interest
was accumulating on the certificates
during that interim"
Mellon said 'refunding of out
standing government bonds is a very
different matter from going out af-
ter s3,40O, 100000 of new capital"
