 This resolution was presented at the hearing in Washington by John Thomas Taylor, the Washington rep resentative of the National Legisla- tive Committee of the American Le- zion. He refused to make any com- ment on the resolution to the con- eressional committee in view of the fact that the American Legion made no demand for such legislation.
 The Adjusted Service Compensa- tion Certificates are insurance poli- cies for which the United States gov ernment pays the premium. The certificates went in force in 1924 and mature in 1945. Our government pays $112,00O. 900 in cash and secur- ities as premium yearly into the in- surance reserve fund, which sums together with the interest earned on the reserve, will accumulate fund of approximately $3,500,000,000 by 1945 to pay off the certificates at maturity.
 The reserve accumulated to date has value of $7O3,0O0,000. This fund was legally available for loans before the recent Veteran Loan law was enacted, against which only $267,O00,000 had been borrowed by veterans. This shows conclusively that veterans as a whole have acted with cor1straint in that they did not fully avail themselves of their legal rights. The aforementioned figures were supplied by General Frank T. Hines, administrator of veteran af- fairs.
 Under the Veteran Loan Law the certificate holder is given the right to borrow 50 per cent of the face value of the certificates. Payments into the insurance reserve for the past six years have provided six twentieths of the face value of the certificates. and the payments due this year brings the reserve fund to seven-twentieths of the face value of the certificates. To meet 50 per cent of the face value of the certificates, our government is advancing three years the premiums which it is obli- gated to pay into the reserve under the law of 1924, thereby bringing the reserve to ten-twentieths of the face value of the certificates, sum equal to that which the veterans may now borrow. In the above the interest on the reserve fund has not been mentioned. Such interest has been accommodating in the fund since 1924, and such additional interest as
 would be accumulated owe. the bal ance of the ten year period shall have to be anticipated along with the three year advance of premium by the United States treasury to bring the insurance reserve fund up to 50 per cent of the face value of the certificates.
 Loans of 50 per cent of the face value of all Adjusted Service Com pensation Certificates outstanding entail approximately $1,750,000,000. Experience of the writer dealing with several thousand holders of such certificates in Connecticut is the
 background for the estimate that total loans will amount to approxi- mately 60 per cent of the face value of the certificates outstanding. there by necessitating $1,050.000,000 for such loans. The orderly marketing

Judge Refuses to

$l,OOO Verdict Against
 Amusement Co Starts

Judge Harry J. Beardsley denied defendants motion for the setting aside of a $1.000 verdict in favor of Lawrence Skelly against the Pleas ure Beach Park corporation in a de- cision handed down in the common pleas court to-day. Mir Skelly sued for permanent injuries to his leg caused when he went in swimming at the defendants beach at Bridge port on last July 22d.
 MT Skelly had hired bathing suit and was walking into the water off the beach when his leg came into contact with a hidden stump under the water, inflicting a severe lacera- ton. MT Skelly sued for $5,000 and the case was tried before Judge Beardsley and a ju.-. in the common pleas court. The jury found the de- fendant corporation gfiuilty of negli- gence in permitting the stump to re- main in a dangerous position and awarded damages of $1,000 to Mfr Skelly. Attorney John E. Whalen appeared for MT Skelly.

whelming majority. This is unde- niable proof that the American Le- zion, representing the largest or- ganized group of all World War Vet erans, did not seek legislation for payments of any kind on the Adjust ed Service Compensation Certificates. American Legion is the highest legis- lative body of the American Legion, and by its acts the policies of all of it's subordinate bodies are deter mined.
 Irrespective of the fact that the American Legion at the Boston con- vention last October opposed all resolutions presented involving pay ments of any kind on the Adjusted Service Compensation Certificates, since that time, bill after bill was offered in congress at the exclusive initiative of congressman until their number equalled about forty. The question was debated in congress and aired in newspapers for several months as few questions ever have been. Newspapers with very few ex- captions severely criticized the World War Veterans and accused them. of seeking something unfair and something injurious to the pulp lie. One chain of newspapers car tooned the veteran taking money from the United States treasury and labeled the cartoon Easy Money"
 Congressional hearings were held in Washington on the Adjusted Ser vice Compensation finance bills in January, 1881. Along with other in- dividuals and organizations, the American Legion was asked to ap- pear before the committee conduct ing the hearing. For advice. in pur. suance of this hearing, special meeting of the national executive committee of the American Legion was held January 25, 1881, and the following resolution was adopted:
 Be It Resolved, By the Ma tional Executive Committee of the American Legion, that we declare and re-affirm as our first and major objective, legislation for the further relief of the disabled man and his dependents, and will take definite exception to any interference with, or delay in, the passage of such leg islation; and
 Be It Further Resolved, That the National Executive Committee en- dorses the principle of immediate cash retirement, on application, of the Adjusted Service Certificates. without choosing as between any of the specific bills now pending before congress, it being the opinion of the National Executive Committee that the passage of such legislation would benefit immeasurably not only the veterans themselves, but the citizen ship of the entire country, and would be an appropriate demonstra- ton of the gratitude of the nation to

 The vast amount of discussion precipitated in pursuance of the many bills appearing in congress finally resulting in the passage of the Adjusted Service Compensation Loan bill on February 26, 1881, en- tailed so much. inaccuracy and, crit icism of the World War Veterans that an analysis of facts bearing upon this subject merits attention.
 We have been in the throes of eco homie depression since 1929. Want is widespread from one end of our country to the other, to a large ex- tent over the entire world, and the end of the depression is not yet in sight. People with meager wealth are hard put to purchase :ne bare necessities of life, and in conse- quence of this they are carefully sur- veying their assets. Numbered with such people are many World War Veterans. Among the assets of World War Veterans are the Adjust ed Service Compensation Certificates which have some cash value now and which mature in 1945.
 Irrespective of whatever else might have motivated congressman, they recognized the possibility of re- ieving to a degree the want in which families of many World War Veterans find themselves by making it possible for veterans to contract loans, using the Adjusted Service Compensation Certificates as collat- eral. The bills before congress that dealt with this question were insti- gated by congressman on their own volition, and to congress is due the entire credit for bringing into effect this outstanding piece of humani- tartan legislation.
 The newspaper reading public public largely, and many other peo- pie who have discussed the subject, believe that World War Veterans as a group have raided the United States treasury for their own welfare at an unconsciounable cost to tax payers in general in pursuance of such a viewpoint is proved in these lines.
 In the first place the bills bearing on this subject that appeared in congress, as well as the bill that be- came law, were prepared and pre- scented by congressman at their ex- elusive instigation as stated above.
 In the second place the only reso- luton presented to the resolutions committee dealing with this subject at the national convention of the American Legion held at Boston last october was reported out of the committee unfavorably. A resolu- ton dealing with this subject was offered on the floor at the conven- tion as a minority report. and on roll call vote this resolution was tabled by a vote s67 to PA, an over-

 In passing it Is worth mentioning that the World War Veteran was never offered, or has never received. q bonus from the government of tire United States, or 50 far as the writer is concerned it is hoped that our government will nev.f pay one. A bonus Is generally regarded as q payment to a recipient of something in excess of an amount earned. The American soldier does rot seek any thing of that kind.- He disdains ccmmerelalizing patriotism. From the above it will be strictly perceived that the Adjusted Service Compen- sation Certificate is exactly what 1t 'e lied, something earned for ser vice.
