one Of the most pressing calls upon the
D. A. v. comes from the widows and
orphans of veterans. We propose to
urge Congress to provide reasonable
pensions for widows and orphans.
After deliberate consideration, our re-
cent national convention at Wilkes Barre,
Pa, went on record as favoring the pay
ment in full Of the remainder of the ad-
justed service certificates. In the midst
Of the depression last Winter the
D. A. v. pleaded with Congress for cash
on these certificates and we were able
to increase the loan values to so per
cent, although Congress placed on these
loans an interest charge of AZ per cent,
while much of the money was borrowed
by the Government ut 2 per cent and
less.
We feel that this interest should be
materially reduced, and in these days,
when there is active agitation for a SO
called dole" or financial allowance for
the unemployed. we certainly feel that
the veteran has a greater right to have
advanced the time of maturity Of these
certificates, which has already held for
more than years, for, after all, 1t
would merely mean an early payment on

National Commander. Disabled American
Veterans Of the World War.
Obtaining placement for partly dis
ahled qualified World War men in gain
full occupations is the present prime OBJ
ject of the disabled American Veterans.
Since the armistice there has been a
split authority, so far as Federal in
stitutions have been concerned, between
the United States Department of Labor
and the United States Veterans admin
istration. To meet this situation, the
ID. A. v. the flrst week in July, in an
ticipation of the continuance Of the
economic depression during the coming
Winter, worked out q plan of co-ordi-
nation of all Federal, State, county
city and civil employment agencies,
which was approved by both the De-
partment of Labor and the Veterans
Administration.
Under this plan the Veterans Ad-
ministration sent to every compensate

the various States have been requested

WINGED US that, In spite of the unsup-
ported allegations as to how this money
was wasted, the overwhelming majority
Of these dollars went to legitimate uses,
such rs meeting mortgages, buying fur
niture and clothing, etc.
In the conservation OF the rights Of
the disabled, the D. A. V.-the only
group of disabled ever recognized by
Congress after any warts fully mind
full OF the fact That at the coming ses-
sion Of Congress there will be a deter
mined effort to deprive many men Of
benefits through the insertion of So
called need clause in the law. In brief,
this movement would prohibit any dis
abled man from obtaining compensa-
ton for his war wounds, IL he could not
prove himself to be pauper.
Such q plan Is not only thoroughly
un-American, but calculated to encour-
age rather than discourage virtual
pauperism among our veterans. 1t Is
entirely contradictory to the whole spirit
If the present act, which rewards, rather
than Furnishes, individuals successful in
overcoming the handicaps of the war
1t Is needless to say that the d. A. ".
will exhaust its full strength to prevent
placing wounded men on charity basis.
In summary, this year the most i'm
portant problem before the D. A. v. Is
finding q solution for the $1,000 I'M
employed employable men with dis
abilities resulting from their service dur
ing the World War. We will insist that
q solution be found which will permit
