MEN STILL COUNT.

The way a good many people are
talking about the so-called Recovery
Program, one would think they expect
ed some sort of a system which would
relieve everybody of responsibility and
which would run all business without
regard to intelligence, initiative or in
dustry.
That's nonsense, of course, neverthe-
less, there are a lot OF people who still!
do not realize that any system, like
any machine, has to have men to oper-
ate it.
The success of the administrators
program will depend entirely upon the
quality Of the men who head up the
business enterprises of the United
States. In other words, there isn't 60
ing to be any change from the ancient
truth that every institution, whether it
is rat-trap factory or railroad sys-
tenn, is the heightened shadow of a
man.
Owen d. Young, who uses his brains
to about as good advantage as any man
we know Of, pointed out that what
broke down and caused all our eco
nomic woes was not human beings but
the system under which business and
public affairs were administered. What
is being done now is to try to change
and improve-the system, but it will
still take men to run it.
We have an idea that young men
growing up in the world of business and
affairs from now on will find just as
great opportunities for self-expression
as anyone had under the old system;
but as things point now, they will OPP
crate the system very much more for
the benefit of everybody and very must
less for the benefit of few individuals.
| We find that many men who were
thought to be entirely selfish in their
point of view are accepting the idea
that any scheme which works for the
benefit of the entire social group is far
better than one which benefits some
but not all. Under the old system it was
inevitable that there should be Unequal
tiles and injustices. We do not antici-
[pate that any plan of human devising
will ever be entirely free from them
but with the right men of the right
spirit at the helm of things, there is
hope. - Courier Chronicle, Humboldt
Tenn.

VETERANS ELIGIBLE
FOR AID REDUCED
Unofficial Figures Show 40
Per Cent of Presumptive
Cases Entitled to Benefits.

Copyright. 1888. BY the Associated Press.)
Less than half the war veterans
whose future benefit payments depend
on proving their presumptive disabil-
tiles to be service-connected. seem In
line for continued compensation.
Special boards Of the Veterans Ad-
ministration have reviewed so per cent
Of the presumptive cases. Unofncial
but closely checked figures show only
40 per cent of this cross-section en-
titled to retain their benefits.
Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines, veterans
administrator, has asked President
Roosevelt to extend the October 81
deadline for the boards to pass on the
remainder Of cases where compensation
has been paid on the presumption the
former soldiers contracted their disa-
bilities during war service.
Such an extension would mean that
veterans who have been getting rs per
cent Of their former compensation
since March 20. when the economy act
was enacted, will continue to receive
that amount beyond october 81, until
their cases are acted on.
Presidential Order Expected.
President Roosevelt was expected to
issue an extension order soon-pos-
sibly this week.
Although previous estimates Of the
presumptive cases have ranged as high
as 10000. a well informed quarter
today placed them at nearer $4,000.
Delays in organizing the boards
were credited with having slowed UP
the work, which officials desire to
complete before Congress convenes.
Conclusions of the review boards
were awaited eagerly by veterans or
ganizations
OF particular Importance to them
was the personnel of the General
Board of Review-the court of last
appeal from decisions of the State
groups-which was reported today to
be ready for announcement next week.
This appellate body will comprise six
members from within the Veterans
Administration and nine from outside
Wide Variation Seen.
Although no official figures have
been announced by the Veterans Ad-
ministration on progress Of the pre-
sumptive case reviews, unofficial re-
ports indicate q wide variation as be-
tween States in the ratio between vet
Grams kept on the rolls and those dis
allowed. They were reported in some
instances to show disallowances run
ming as high as 80 per cent, with "a
per cent continued under benefits
while in others 80 per cent were ruled
service connected and only 20 per cent
stricken of.
One veterans spokesman saw in this

bers Of Congress, in which the make
up Of the reviewing boards would 1g-
ure. The veterans organizations
however, despite individual complaints
from former soldiers cut out by the
boards, were withholding any judgment
on the findings until they have been
completed.
The fate of the presumptive disabil-
ity veterans lately has overshadowed
the bonus and other elements of past
veteran efforts. The Veterans of For
eign Wars is continuing actively its
onus-inflation campaign, but the

ton did not pass a bonus resolution

Wis will return to Washington to report

poets of the Limitation of Arms Confer

This report was received unofficially
in Washington today, and in official
quarters it was stated that this would

do" and consequently the news was as
sumed to be correct"
In diplomatic quarters, the eventual
return Of Ambassador Davis was in

Foreign diplomats in Washington who
are in close touch with their govern

not believe that under the present cir
cumstances there is any chance Of the
Limitation Of Arms Conference to con-
tinue its fruitless work. That gather
