FIGHT
NEARING END

Overwhelming approval Of the
compromise $20,000,000 drought
loan relief bill was expected in
the Senate today under an agree
ment calling for final action on
the Interior Department appro-
priation bill.
The agreement was made by
Administration leaders, after
long fiHbuster by Senator Thomas
CD of Oklahoma, against a
$4,000 appropriation Of Okla
homa Indian tribal funds.
Thomas insisted the m Oney
should be appropriated from the
Federal Treasury and he led so
formidable a fiIibuster against
the bill that Administration lead
ers finally sought compromise.
If the OklahOman can command
a majority vote Of the Senate,
the Interior bill will be sent
back to conference to make the
change he suggested.
A small group will vote against
it as a protest, as no provision Is
made to buy food for sufferers
who have no security.

EXPLANATION
Of BILL
Interpretation Shows Benefit
of Measure Will Provide
Immediate Available Loan

The mathematical wrinkles and
actuarial complexities in the
Bacharach modified bonus bill,
now before the House, are many.
Thousands of ex-Service men
are wrestling with 1t today. They
are appealing to Government ex-
perts to "Set them straight" as
to what the measure really means
and how much they are to gain
by it.
Dollar Cents View
Officials of the American Le-
gion, and other veterans organi-
cations. are trying to master the
angles of the measure and in
cooperation with actuaries of the
Veterans Bureau are working out
a dollars-and-cents bird's-eye view
of it.
Here are some of the salient
facts regarding it:
A needy veteran, holding
$1,000 adjusted compensation GER
tificate, can borrow 50 per cent
Of its value, or $500, under the
terms of the measure.
He is then confronted with a
peculiar problem. He is called
upon to pay Az per cent COM
pound interest per annum upon
his loan. The interest payments
are to continue until 1945, when
his certificate natures,
Calculations show that, on this
basis, he will have paid into the
Federal Treasury $425.50 on his
$500 loan in IA years, or in 1945,
leaving his actual equity on his
certificate at maturity only $74.50.
Equity Is Small
This equity is so small that it
naturally leads many of experts
to believe that thousands of the
veterans who will be prospective
borrowers if the Bacharach bill
becomes a law will regard their
borrowing not as a loan, but SIM
ply as a cash surrender PROPOSE
tion.
In other words, they will take
their money, half of the face
value of their certificates and for
felt their remaining equity, which
natures in 1945, because their
loss in such a forfeiture is negli-
gible.
Provides Insurance
The insurance feature of the
service certificates are not
touched upon by the Bacharach
bill. In the event of veterans
death before 1945, his estate can
collect his remaining equity
without reference to his failure
to pay interest.
Experts believe that not more
than 60 per cent of the ex-service
men will take advantage of the
Bacharach bill should it be en-
acted into law. Those who are
unemployed or in Strengthened
circumstances will seek to borrow,
but others will hold on to their
certificates until maturity.
In a nutshell, the proposal pre-
Sented to the veterans in the
Bacharach bill is this:
If he bOrrOws on his certificate
now, he is going to get little
more, including his final equity,
than half of what it will be worth
at maturity in 1945.
It makes hardly any difference
whether he uses his borrowed
money as a loan or as an outright
gift from the Government, finan-
cially speaking.
What the Bacharach bill really
does is to permit the veteran to
convert his certificate into an i'm
mediate so per cent cash value,
instead of a 221a per cent cash
value, as it is under existing law.
