criticism to which Hawaiian officials
have been subjected for their delay in

unduly harsh. 5
The report will be submitted to Ter

Negro and White Veterans to Renew
Fight For Bonus

Cleveland, O.-(CNA)-"The fight
for the soldiers bonus has just begun,
was the slogan of the Negro and
White veterans of the world war, who
met here last week in a national con-
vention called by the Rank and File
Committee Of the Bonus Marchers,
and the Workers Ex-Servicemen's
League.
The immediate cash payment Of the
bonus, immediate relief for the un-
employed and unemployed insurance
at the expense of the employers, and
a fight on all discrimination practiced
against Negro veterans, are the most
important detectives which the dele
gares have set themselves.
A major part OF the work Of the
work OF the Workers Ex-Servicemen's
League n It's synIpaCnIzers Is the
ngnG lcr the equanLy OF negro and
"AIIe veterans, a numDe Of delegates
poIn.ea cdc. Inree negro veterans
were elected 10 the EXECUTIVE Commit
wee OF the organization. One OF these
IS James w. Ford, Communist candl-
date Tor vIce-presldent, formerly a
member OF the 369th Infantry. The
Two others are Joseph Gardner, for
merly a member OF the 9th Cavalry,
and sol Harper, formerly OF the 349th
+ ield Artillery.
A special resolution on the Negro
veterans, adopted unanimously by the
delegates, reads in part:
"The Workers Ex-Servicemen's
League, as a major part Of its work,
has carried on a strong fight for the
unity Of the veterans, Negro and
White. Only through the closest soli-
darity Of Negro and White veterans,
and the united defense Of the special
demands of the Negro veterans, can
the aims OF the Workers Ex-Service-
mems League be achieved"

BUILT ON FACTS NOT THEORY

The stability OF the life Insurance industry is based
on the premise that it does not substitute imagination for
facts. 1t deals with figures, not theories. 1t is not swayed
ing in prices.
AS a result, in normal times it has an extremely
wide margin Of safety, and in depressed times the margin
Is more than adequate to meet any conceivable condition.
1t knows that business cannot always be ood-that an
aoove,normal period must be followed by a sub-normal
period, and it runs it's affairs accordingly.
Life insurance has made a magnificent record dur
ing tne depression. Last year it paid out close to three
billion dollars to policyholders and benefciaries-about
80 times as much as was raised to meet unemployment by
relief agencies. Its record Of sales, though naturally be-
low normal, has been far higher than the general business
ievel; 1t IS being used increasingly by those who wish to
build estates, to bolster up shrunken fortunes, and to find
a safe and profitable investment.
Life insurance represents as high a degree of SAT-
ely In an investment as is humanely possible to attain.

Fire Insurance Costs

The American public was able to
purchase fire insurance at a lower
figure in 1891 than ever before in
the history of the industry.
The cost of fire protection aver
aged 81 cents per $500 throughout the
country-five cents less per 500 than
in 1880, and eight cents lower than
in 1929. For the 81 years between
1900 and 1881, inclusive, the aver
age rate was one dollar per hundred.
Lower-priced fire insurance has
resulted largely from the efforts OF
the industry to encourage fire pre-
vention and improve building codes
and fire departments so as to hold
down the fire loss. A consistent rate
reduction is the natural evolution
and is of tremendous public benefit

Our CHANGING Nation

Just as If the nation did not have
enough problems already. it is now
being asserted that we are about to
enter on a period OF declining popu-
lation.
DR.. P. X. Whelpton Of the Scripps
Foundation for Research in Popula-
ton Problems has been studying the
census figures, and he finds that
they forecast such a period very
clearly.
Between 1920 and 1890, for ex-
ample, there was smaller percent
age Of the population under five
years of age than in former years.
There were, in fact, fewer children
under five than between the ages
of five and ten-the first time in
American history that this had hap
pened.
This, of course, reflects quite clear
ly declining birth rate; and since
immigration has been cut down to al
most nothing it seems fairly certain
that in a few years the population
of the United States will not only
stop increasing but will begin to de-
crease-very slightly, perhaps, but
nevertheless perceptibly.
This will have a number of effects
on national life.
In the first place, American indus
try will no longer have the con-
stantly expanding domestic market
that it has always had in other years.
Cities will no longer show steady,
constant growth. 1t will no longer
be possible for cunning speculator
to buy up farm land beyond the
suburbs and, by holding onto it un-
til the city has expanded to meet it,
make himself rich.
Land values in general, instead Of
rising slowly but surely, as they have
ever since the Revolution-except for
brief intervals of depression-will re-
main constant, or will even suffer q
slow decline.
In other words, business and in
dustry will have to accommodate
themselves to an entirely new stu
alton. From the very beginning, we
have had something very like con-
tinuous boom in this country-but it IS
about over now.

covered from scarlet fever and was
told by a neighbor we should not let
him 60 swimming for three months,
and that he must wear a wooden
band around his stomach for year.

Answer-The poor kid. BY all
means send him to camp. Every
boy should have month in camp
every summer. Every girl, too, for
that matter. Unless there is some
complication which constrains your

swimming possible, in the open air,
Let him use that belly band to pol
