It was clsal to me that the Legion is being con- demned for a number of things that should be charged to the in- efficient administration of the Vet erans' Bureau and to indefensibll laws sponsored by too eager poll ticians seeking the vote of the ex- service man. The new plan will be to open the door wider for the man with a service connected disability and limit drastically the aid that will be given the man whose claim is of non-seryice origin.
 Bonus Paymsnt Dead Issue
 "The immediate payment of the bonus has apparently becoma a dead issue at this time. The think ing men of the Legion are aware that the Government is not able to undertake this financial burden for some time to come declared MT Hansen.

 e"At Legion headquarters, I met representative men from every state of the Union and they all agreed that conditions are mater ially improving Wherever I went, a remarkable spirit of non-parti- sanship was displayed and even oldtime Republicans voiced praise of President Franklin D. Roose- welt for the effort he has made and they were of the opinion that he had pursued the right course, ? MT. Hansen said
 Confidence m President
 The fact that impressed me most was that although the benefits re- ceived by Veterans have been cut deeper than any other branch of the Government service, the gov erning body of the American Le- zion was unanimous in it's expres- sion of confidence in the President and was prepared to back his pro gram to the limit. The attitude talk en by the executive committee on this subject has already been justi- fled as shown by the willingness of the President to correct certain inequalities and in Justices that were pointed out to him by Ma tional Commander Louis Johnson of the Legion" MT Hansen said.
