Opponents Say the Poor

London, April S.--(UP)-Brit-
aims two thousand wheat farmers
were assured to-day of guaran-
teed price and stable market for
their grain. The house of COM
mons passed the third reading of
the wheat quota bill providing a
guaranteed price of 10 shillings
$500 per hundredweight ($1.0S a
busheD and requiring millers to
buy the entire home grown mill
able crop up to a maximum of H.
100000 hundredweights.
Opponents of the bill said 1t
meant the distribution of 100000
pounds among 1000 farmers and
that the money would be added to
the nations bread bill. Laborites
argued that the bill was a dis
guised tax on food and Jealous
brutality" against poor families
who would have to pay more for
bread.
The government bill provides a
fund to meet the difference be-
tween the guaranteed price and the
average market price of wheat.
Millers and importers will make
up the fund through complicat-
ed system of quota payments.

Washington, April - CUP) =
Forces were marshalled in Wash
ington today for the second big
struggle of the present session of
congress, the approaching contest
over the Patman bill to pay in
cash all outstanding war veterans
bonus insurance policies.
Hearings on the measure, spon-
sored by Representative Patman,
democrat, Texas, will begin before
the house ways and means COM
mittee Monday. 1t Is expected they
will be detailed and as spirited as
the tax fight.
The bill provides for issuance of
about $4,000, 100000 in currency
to be backed by 40 per cent of
gold from the surplus now held
in the treasury, and to be used in
payment of the certificates.
There now are 100000 certifi-
Gates in the hands of like num-
Der of veterans. They range in
value from $126 to $3.50 and av-
erage $1,000 each. Against these
a total of $1,000, 100000 already
has been borrowed from the gov
ernment at IL per cent interest.
1t will require $780, 100000 to
pay off the remainder.
These certificates were issued
when congress in 1924 passed the
adjusted compensation act. The
act provided that each veteran be
given 81 per day for each days
service in the United States and
,$1.25 for each day of service
abroad, plus rs per cent bonus to
compensate for delay in adjusting
compensation" and less the $50
each man was given at the time of
discharge.
Certificates were issued in 1925
and, technically, were paid up en-
dowment insurance policies, due on
death or IN 1945, for the amount
Of insurance that compensation as
above calculated would buy. They
were given an immediate loan
value of % per cent of their 1915
