Legion Leaders Aided Capitalists in
Putting Over Cuts in Vet Benefits

Of Foreign Wars and Disabled AM
erican Veterans doing anything to
oppose them? The answer is No.
Ask any of the $1,000 rank and file
Legion men who have dropped their
membership recently in New York
State alone. Their leaders blame the
crisis for the decrease in membership,
while the men condemn the leaders
for betraying them on the bonus
and the Economy Bill. The fact Is
that these misleaders of the Amer
lean Legion, the v. F. w. and the
D. A. V. are at heart in sympathy
with the N. E, l., and the A. v. A.
and have helped put over the cuts.
Archibald Roosevelt, one OF the
founders of the Legion, is now ma
tional secretary Of the N. E. L. Byrd
quit the navy and $4,000 pension to
take the national Craftsmanship. An
other eX-leader Of the Legion, Paul
V. McNutt, is now dictatorial Gov
ernor Of Indiana. Phelps Newberry,
OF Michigan, resigned the Legion to
become the Michigan chairman OF
the N. E. L. He is vice president and
director or was, OF the Guardian De-
troit Bank, Union Guardian Trust
Co., etc. These it will be remembered
were among the first banks to fail in
Michigan, wiping out millions in
deposits.
Treachery Of Legion Chiefs
During the entire campaign for the
cuts the Legion leaders played a
treacherouS role. Forced by the
overwhelming sentiment of the rank
and Tile to take a stand against the
cuts and for immediate payment of
the bonus at the Portland convention
last fall, they did everything in their
power to prevent a real struggle
around these issues. Finally, when
the Economy Bill came before Con-
gress, the Legion leaders gave up
their sham battle and proposed a
straight rs per cent cut In all bene-
fits. For tens of thousands OF vet
Grams this would have been an even
bigger cut than that contained in the
Economy Bill.
After the passage of the bill, the
Legion chiefs completed their be-
travail when National Commander
LOUIS johnson issued a statement
urging all veterans to back I'D
Roosevelt in carrying through the
bankers attack on their living stand
ards.

The extent to which the fascists

quotation from the 'National-Socisl-

In each Negro, even in one of the
kindest disposition, is the latent brute
and the primitive man who can be
tanned neither by centuries Of slavery
nor by external varnish of modern
civilization. All assimilation, all edu-
cation is bound to fail on account
OF the racial Unborn features of the
blood. One can, therefore, under
stand why in the Southern States of
America, sheer necessity compels the
white race to act in an abhorrent
and perhaps even cruel manner

LESSONS FROM THE DEMONSTRATION
AGAINST THE SEA FOX" SAILING

A recent article In the Daily
Worker told of the tremendous effect
that the demonstration Of 100 work
ers in Brooklyn against the fitting
out OF the sea Fox" for the CoIom-
bian navy had In South and Central
America.
A few additional facts on this DEM
onstretion should be given to further
stress the Importance of these DEM
onstrations and the sharp effect they
can have.
Two sailors quit directly as result
of the demonstrations.
The captain of the Sea Fox" quit
the ship before she left American
waters.
The third engineer quit the ship
before she was out Of American
waters.

instances this forced relief had
strings to it. And now the Economy
Bill would deprive us OF even this
meager relief.
Who Are the Treasury Raiders?
Space forbids detailed account of
each preceding law leading up to the
Disability Allowance Law. But brief
resume will prove that not we, but
the officers are the privileged class,
not the rank and file, but the Of
ficers are the treasury raiders.
BEFORE 1920 all matters pertaining
- to disabled vets were handled BY
the Public Health Service. For total
disability, physical or mental, the
maximum compensation was $50 a
month, with no provisions for de-
pendents.
Swindler Heads Vet Bureau
Inc H ar ling administration
brought into existence the Veterans
Bureau. What sins have been com
mitted in its name! Colonel Forbes
OF the famous Forbes scandal was in
charge. Convicted Of lnisappropriat-
ing millions of dollars intended for
disabled vets, evidence brought forth
at his trial showed huge sums spent
on cabarets, wine parties, etc. This
money was squandered at time
when many veterans we're suffering
from improper medical attention
The National Economy League. while
calling the rank and file q "mer-
cenary minority" never mentions
this and similar millions appro-
priated for the officer class under
the provisions of the Emergency
Officers Retirement Act
Under Hoover, General Hines was
made Director and still u.s. His Of
ficai salary was increased by several
thousand dollars.
The Sweet Bill named after Re-
preventative Sweet raised the maxi
mum from $50 to 500 per month,
with corresponding increases for par
tial disability. Yet 500 for total
disability is hardly to be compared
with the pension Of $4,000 for a per-
fectly sound and healthy admiral
whose chief claim to fame was
trip to the Antarctic. With few
minor changes the Sweet Bill and
the War Risk Insurance Law took
care Of all claims of disabled vets
until 1924.
"A Treacherous Obstacle
In June, 1924 the johnson
Bill was passed, providing a pre-
sumptive service connection (for
those who were unable up to this
time to establish service connection
for certain types Of disabilities. These
were tuberculosis and neuropsychia-
trio cases. Those filing claims with
the Veterans Bureau before 1924 and
who were diagnosed as suffering from
the above mentioned maladies were
considered by the Bureau as nom
vice cases and automatically
placed on a compensation status be-
cause OF the Reed johnson Bill. But
there was a treacherous obstacle

extra days in Wilmington, the ship
would possibly have not sailed. The
mems economic demands could have
been raised to a political level and
embarrassed the Hoover and Colon
bian governments. That the ship
was laid up in Wilmington for IL
days without any further action by
our Party speaks for itself.
In the demonstration, the pres
ence of 100 workers started such q
train of events. What hundreds more
present at similar demonstrations can
do is clear. Every Party unit in the

the disability Many veterans suf-
fering nervous ailments from shell
shock and belated consumption due
to gas were ashamed to face this
accusation and never applied.
Others who faced the music found
no provision for back pay up to 1924.
mus tens of thousands of veterans,
who were considered victims of mall
aides due to service, became in real
lty non-service cases, with no COM
pensation for the preceding years.
This, in itself, is reason enough to
demand our bonus or back pay. The
bonus we paid for with our own
service money.
All this time the leaders of the
American Legion, the Veterans of
Foreign Wars and the Disabled AM
erican Veterans were loudly Dragging
about the generosity of the govern
ment and how we'll it was taking care
OF the vets. Yet today we have the
same question plaguing us; in fact,
it was never settled, the question of
so-called non-service connected dis
ability. Thousands of veterans roam
ing the streets apparently healthy are
feeling the ravages Of trench life,
shell shock, bad food, gas, etc. Even
in the case of those who did not go
over seas, conditions we're far from
favorable for the maintenance of
good health. Many who met with
what they considered minor injuries
and who were i'll with the flu are
today the victims Of neglected heart
and lung cases. An instance will
prove this.
An Example
Private A is kicked BY a horse in
the chest. He is ordered to the hos
pital, given C. C. pills and a rub
down. After few weeks he is out
and around. Six months later he
complains Of a pain in the chest.
The doctor says, a cold, and gives
him some more G. G. pills. A year or
two later he develops a cough. To-
day he is walking consumptive. If
ne worked for boss and could prove
his case, he would receive compensa-
tion, but the benevolent government
says no, this is a non-service con-
nected case and doesn't deserve COM
pensation.
Between 1925 and 1880 more
and more veterans no longer
able to stand the strain filed
claims with the Veterans Bureau.
The mass demands made it i'm
perative to pass legislation that would
quiet criticism of the overnment.
The leaders of the American Legion.
" F. w. and D. A. W., no longer able
to check the veterans demands, adj
yised that something be done. And
so in 1880 the Disability Allowance
Law was enacted to give the I'M
preston that something was being
done for all sick veterans. The
Legion officials now loudly deny any
responsibility for this law.
