WASHINGTON, March IA.
The American Legion has at
last openly come out in support
of drastic reductions in vet
erans' benefits. Ray Murphy,
of the National Legislative
Committee of the American
Legion, in a statement issued
yesterday, declared that "the need
for economy in governmental expen-
ditures =. is fully recognized by the
American Legion" and proposed Is

ans benefit.
Betray Membership.
This statement is an open betrayal
of the pledges made at the Portland,
Oregon, convention Of the Legion last
fall,
Today the Senate democrats were
called into caucus in an effort to put
through the Roosevelt bill, already
passed by House, as quickly as pos
sible. This bill proposes to gouge
$500,000,000 out of the disabled veter-
ans and all government employees, in
Guiding members of the armed forces.
Under its provisions, tens of thous-
ands of vets would be completely de-
prived Of benefit.
Mass Protest Grows.
The storms of protest aroused by
thiS Wall Street measure is causing
the senators a little uneasiness.
The National Committee of the
Workers Ex-Servicemen's League is
calling on veterans throughout the
country to hold mass protest meet
ings outside of veterans bureaus and
city halls, and to send protest wires
to Senators and to Roosevelt. The
Veterans National Liaison Commit
tee, with headquarters in Washing
ton, is also rallying the broadcast mas
ses of the ex-Servicemen to demand
not cent off the benefit, immediate
payment of the bonus and relief for
workers and farmers.

The capitalist press is pumping floods OF
Wall Street propaganda in effort to bulIdoze
the ex-servicemen into accepting the cuts. Only

paper fights for them, leads them, rallies them
to organized struggle against this criminal attack
of the Wall Street pirates.

1t was almost decided upon to close
all the banks late in February. Such
procedure would have at least
temporarily interrupted the unprece-
dented pillaging of the institutions by
the barons of Wall Street. Hoover
and Roosevelt actually discussed the
shutdown of the banks at that time.
But in the end, Hoover and Roosevelt
refused to put stop to the epidemic
Of wholesale robberies by the bank
ersl
Instead of hating the looters, Hoo
yer and Roosevelt tacitly permitted
the flooding of capitalist newspapers
with bankers propaganda to conceal
from the masses of the people the
true condition of the institutions and
their imminent collapse. On Feb

through the capitalist press to the
effect that an agent of the Soviet

into this country. This was a man

Bankers Fooled Workers.
Hand in hand with such absurd
lies, came direct appeals from the
bankers themselves to capitalist
newspaper readers to retain conf
dence in the banks. Just two days
before Governor Lehman ordered the
closing OF the institutions, James
Brown, prominent Wall Street banker
and president Of the New York State
Chamber of Commerce, assured the
people" that there was nothing
wrong with the crumbling bank
structure. Although he admitted he
had heard "rumors' that there we're
troubles in certain localities. he
placed the blame for these troubles

heads"

Stop Probe of Bank Graft.
While the cost of living is daily
soaring because Of the initiation, and
the bankers are getting away with

Roosevelt today said he did not deem
it wise at this time to further in

cial banks.
Many Banks Remain Closed.
The banks that have been opened
in the twelve federal reserve centers
are not paying their depositors. Some
of them permit Withdrawals Of small
amounts weekly, while others are open
to meet payrolls in the new devalu-
ated national currency or scrip and
receive deposits.

The banking act is interpreted to
mean that there can be no clearing

must stand or fall on the basis Of
their own strength. The government
resists all efforts on the part of mil
lions of depositors to guarantee their
deposits.

The workers and militant small
depositors are not being intimidated
from struggling against the intensi-
fed robber drive initiated by Roose-
welt at the behest of the Wall Street
bandits who control the whole gov
eminent apparatus. In many Ncini-
ties organization work is going ahead
TO demand the full return of the de-
positors funds in old currency values.

Three weeks before the nation
wide closing date, the word leaked
out of the White House of what was
about to happen to the nations
banks. Three full weeks before the
issuance of Roosevelt's proclamation,
the final grand rush for gold was
started by the overlords of business.
With the full knowledge and con-
sent of Hoover, who was still Wall
Streets chief agent in Washington,
former Secretary of the Treasury
Mills, shaped the plans for the clos

we're held by Treasury officials and
the leading bankers of Wall Street.
Roosevelt, who was preparing himself
to hand out the new DEAL was
kept in touch with all the develop
ments. william M. Woodin, the new
Treasury Department head, was also
advised of the preparations.
