State Issue.
Ry the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Three Massachusetts Democrats join
ed yesterday in criticism Of Republic.
can Leader Tilson for his frantic effort
to prevent the passage Of any bill which
would assist the veteran at this time"
and offered to make the loan bill an
issue between themselves and Massa-
chusetts Republicans.
In joint statement Representatives
Cennery. Mccormack and Granfield
said Tilson said in House debate on the
bill ut would take from SIX to eight
months before the Veterans, Bureau
would set into operation the machinery
necessary to make the loans
The bill had hardly passed the Sem
ate over the Presidents veto,' the state
ment said, when the first loan was
made, and within few minutes after
the bill became law there were several
hundred applications for loans in
washington alone"
The three urged that veterans who
do not need loans withhold their ap-
plicationS and concluded the statement
with:
80 far as we are concerned, IL tlNs
Republican members from MassachiS-
sets, who all, except Representative
Frank FoSs, either voted against the
bill an issue. we gladly accept the cl1al-
Presidents veto, desire to make this
