UnWise to Break
Faith With Child

Promises and rewards are two
closely allied measures made use Of
by parents to stimulate and encour-
age their children in good conduct
and in their schooling or chosen work
during undergraduate days. Used
wisely. they are potent, factors In
securing the desired ends and reac-
lions. 1t sometimes happens, how

"In order to assure speed and effec-
tiveness in the movement Of huge sup
plies, the President has directed not
only that the corporation be equipped
with adequate funds, but also that it
should be given wide powers in the
purchasing and distribution Of surplus
foods and other commodities.
"The President believes the corpora

such manner as to become the best

Industry cannot be restored, people
cannot be put back to work. banks
cannot be kept open, human suffering
cannot be cared for, If the government
itself is bankrupt. We realize now
that the great human values. not for
you alone, but for all American citi-
zens, rest upon the unimpaired credit
Of the United States.
at was because of this that we I'M
dertook to take the national treasury
out Of the red and put 1t into the
black. And in the doing of 1t we laid
down two principles which directly af-
fected benefits to veterans-to you,
and to the veterans Of other wars.
''The first principle. following in.
evitably from the obligation of citi-
zens to bear arms, is that the govern
ment has responsibility for and to-
ward those who suffered injury or
contracted disease while serving in it's
defense.
'sThe second principle is that no per-
son, because he wore a uniform, must
thereafter be placed in special class
Of beneficiaries over and above all
other citizens. The fact of wearing
a uniform does not mean that he can
demand from the government benefit
which no other citizen receives. It
does not mean that because person
served in the defense Of his country,
performed a basic obligation of citi-
zenship, he should receive a pension
from his government because of dis
ability incurred after his. service had
terminated, and not connected with
that service.
s'It does mean, however, that those
who were injured in or as a result
Of their service, are entitled to receive
adequate and generous compensation
for their disabilities. It does mean
that generous care shall be extended
to the dependents of those who died in
or as a result Of service to their
country.
"To carry out these principles, the
people of this country can and will
pay in taxes the sums which it is nee
essary to raise. To carry out these
principles will not bankrupt your gov
eminent nor throw its bookkeeping
into the red"
In closing the President said:
'You who wore the uniform, you
who served, you who took the oath
Of allegiance to the American Legion,
you who support the ideals of Ameri-
can citizenship, have called to the
colors again. AS your commander in
chief and your comrade. am conf
dent that you will respond"

prices still remain substantially below

"A was brought appreciably nearer
by bloody all-day battle that took
place between the 500 recalcitrant army
and navy officers who had been be-
leaguered in the National hotel and
the troops of President Grau. The
hotel was bombarded until late after
noon with rifles, machine guns and
cannon and the government said 18 of
the officers were killed and II wound
ed. which probably was an underesti-
mate. The losses among the soldiers
were officially stated to be killed and
q wounded. Correspondents said the
total dead in the days fighting num-
bered at least A. Among the non-con-
testants killed was Robert Lotspeich,
an American, assistant manager in
Havana for Swift & Co.
When the hotel which is owned and
managed by Americans, was practical
ly wrecked by shell fire, the officers
surrendered. AS they emerged under
a white flag, unarmed and under guard
of soldiers, they were again attacked
and number Of them massacred.
Apartment buildings near the hotel, in
which many Americans resided, were
