Repeal of the Economy Act as
it applies to veterans was the key
note of a legislative program that
was described recently by Com
mander Vincent p. Mahoney of
Wheeler Young Post, No. 201, Veter-
ans of Foreign Wars of the u. s.,
at a regular meeting at which plans
were laid for an educational cam
paign designed to convey to the
general public certain facts per-
tanning to the alleged vicious ef-
fects of veteran legislation enacted
by the present administration.
Commander Mahoney deplored
the reduction of veteran expendi-
lures by $4OO,O0O,000 'in an al
legged effort to maintain teh credit
Of the nation and to balance the
bundget" when shortly thereafter
the administration saw fit to ap-
prove appriproations amounting to
is billion dollars.
Congress was stampeded into
adoption of the Economy Act, with
its reduction of $40O,000,000 for
veteran welfare, when the admin
istration insisted that this was the
only way to avoid national bank
ruptcy. Today, congress and the
people of America, know that they
have ben fooled. They know that
budget are playthings for statis-
ticians and propaganda for poll
ticians.
without stopping to balance
the original budget Of less than 3
billion dollars, the administration
has created a 'so-called emergency
budget which appropriates the
stupendous total of Is billion dol
lars.
Veterans were told they had no
moral nor patriotic right to expect
assistance from the government
under existing economic conditions
and that any special favors grant
ed to the veteran at this time would
constitute class legislation Never
theless, the administration is hand
ing out billions of dollars to every
other class of citizens with appar-
emily no conscientious scruples.
I'VE have appropriated 1-2 bill
lions for public works, which is
nothing but a dole to contractors
and labor in general. The agricul-
tural adjustment administration is
spending over one billion dollars to
help the farmer class; the Farm
Credit administration will distribute
over Q IL billions also to help the

Dutch Colonists Preceded
Penn to Quaker City

Philadelphia. (UP)-This year
marks the Booth anniversary of the
founding of Philadelphia by the
first settlers, a group of Dutch
colonists.
But nobody is doing anything
about it because to most Philadel-
phians the history of their city
commenced with the landing OF
William Penn in 1882 with his
Quaker, settlers.
According to old documents,
beavers lured the Dutch trappers
here from their settlements on
Manhattan Island.
In 1923 a few Wallons settled
on Verhulsten Island, in the Della
ware river, near the present site of
Trenton, N. j., while about the
same time some Dutch trappers
built a small fort near the present
site of Gloucester, N. J., several
miles below where Philadelphia
now stands.
Then the Swedes came and drove
the Dutch away, holding the land
until the English claimed the terri
tory for the Duke of York.
