press that prominent and influential
administration officials have express
ed their opinion that the investiga-
ton has gone too far for comfort,
and that it must be slowed down
1t would seem that this is Just what
the Roosevelt administration is doing
The appropriations just set aside
to continue the investigations amount
TO $4,000, a sum far too small to
permit the investigation to go on
much longer with any efficiency.
Hint Douglas To Replace Woodin
1t is said that as soon as Woodin
can resign gracefully, in spite of the
fact that Roosevelt supported him by
refusing to accept his resignation,
Roosevelt will appoint Lewis Douglas
present Director of the Budget, as
Secretary Of the Treasury.
Douglas is responsible for the ruth
less cutting of the veterans com
pensations benefits in the recent
Budget bills.
Douglass family is intimately con-
nected to the large copper mining
company of Phelps Dodge Corpora
ton, which is tied up directly With
Morgan mining companies.

VETS FACING

CUTS JULY |
Nearly 100000 Will
Be Hit by Wall St,
Economy Plan
VETS DEMANDS PRESSED
" F e ar Constituents"
Politicians Admit

The fear of facing their constitu-
ents.'
This, according TO dispatches from
Washington is the chief basis for
the drive to modify" the drastic
veterans disability cuts ordered by
the Roosevelt administration in the
interests of economy.
With a cut of $3.50 900, 900 having
been ordered, both Republican and
Democratic politicians, fearing to
face their constituents, are sdvo-
eating the retention of at least $780,
600 900 to cover the disability cuts.
Thousands of protests flooding
Washington indicate the storm of
anger among veterans. One letter,
it is reported, told OF men wounded
in battle who are slated to have
their present allowance amounting
to $50 month under the old regu-
latious, reduced to 80 a month I'M
der the new.
The present discussion in Congress
and the maneuvers of the politicians
who fear to face their constituents"
is q smoke screen to hide the cuts
At that time at least 800,00 vet
Grams will be deprived of their chief
means of existence. All service-con-
nected disabled veterans, over 100000,
will receive cut of over fifty per-
cent; over 100000 disabled veterans
who could not prove that their in
iuries are a direct result of the war,
because the government medical rec
ords are at fault, will lose 100 per-
cent of their allowances. Practically
all OF the Spanish war veterans will
be deprived of their pensions, while
the widows and dependents will be
left without means of support. Thou
sands of mental cases are being dis
missed from veterans hospitals and
thousands of disabled veterans hays
already been dismissed from these
hospitals and thrown upon the
streets In all tlp 2 cases the Negro
veterans are being still further dis
eliminated against.
Result of Pressure.
The meeting of the Democratic
caucus with President Roosevelt and
the statements of the Republican
congressman comes directly as re-
suit of the mass pressure of the Rank
and File Convention held recently
at Fort Hunt, Virginia. The three
demands of the Convention which
were submitted to President Roose-
welt and to Congress must be met
before Congress can adjourn.
These are;
u Immediate cash payment OF the
adjusted service certificates, cal
led the bonus.
q Postponement Of the enforce
ment of the Economy Bill until
the next session Of Congress and
publication by the veterans bu-
reau of the details of veteran
cuts, amounts, number Of vet

be effected.

banking firms such as Kuhn,
Loeb and Company. and Dillon, Read
and Co. In confirmation Of these
rumors that from now on the Senate
Committee will go easy" with the
Wall Street bankers, several signifi-
cant developments have occurred in
the last day or two.
To Hold Secret Sessions First
In the first place, Senator Glass,
leading Democratic Senator from Vir-
ginia, who has fought bitterly against
the progress of the investigation at
every step, has suddenly made peace
with Pecora, the committees attorney.
Also, Pecora has promised that he will
not spring any surprises on the mem
bers of the committee, letting them
know in advance in secret sessions
what evidence he planned to bring
forth. And Senator Glass, the active
enemy of the exposures has expressed
himself as being we'll satisfied with
the arrangement. From now on, all
the evidence will be examined in sec
ret sessions before it is made public
Thus far there are several matters
which the committee has decided to
keep secret.
In line with these developments
Senator Couzens, the member of the
Committee who was the most open
opponent of the Glass sabotaging
tactics, has been appointed by Roose-
welt to go to the World Economic
Conference which will soon meet in
London. Couzens at first refused this
appointment on the grounds that he
wanted to see the investigation thru
But he has changed his mind He is
leaving for Europe in a few days.
