SHOULD BE SQUELCHED

Prompt measures should be taken to
squelch attempts of handful of assert
edly confessed Communistic sympathiz-
ers to launch a "bonuS army" movement
in California.
A handful of men sponsored by the
Workmen's EX-Service league, is endeav-
oring to follow the lead of the famous
bonus army" of two years ago and fost-
er a march upon the national capital.
As one of the preliminares to obtain
ing recruits, the group assembled IN the
state capital and submitted the follow
ing demands: an immediate state cash
bonus to every veteran or the dependents
of veterans, continuance Of the CNA, re-
peal of the anti-picketing and criminal
syndicalism laws, enactment of unem-
ployment insurance, stoppage OF evlc-
lions and foreclosures and other reforms
in state laws.
There is just enough Of merit, or pos
sible merit, in that platform to catch the
eye of unthinking persons. Unemploy-
ment insurance, for instance, has the
support of many sound-thinking leaders.
A curb on convictions and foreclosures
is likewise conlmendable.
Aside from these the platform is a
high-handed demand for the impossible
that should be treated as it deserves.
We doubt if the pioneers in this new
"bonus army" will get very far with
their plans. 1t does seem that something
should be done right at the start to
squelch its attempts to do so.
The original bonus army" left sore
spot in this country which will be years
in healing Another such effort would
be infinitely more serious than that at
tempt to obtain a bonus proved to be.
Ex-servicemen who are worthy to bear
that title, will not be slow in condemn
ing the Sacramento groups plans and
lending their efforts to foil them by see
ing to it that they and their comrades
do not participate in any of the bonus
army's' activities.

collar of her new caracul coat was
high around her chin She looked
straight ahead; there were no tears
behind the big spectacles. She made
no outcry.
Perhaps forewarning of what was
in store had come to her as, entering
the room in her creaking chair, she
peered for split second at her young
physician daughter, DR.. Catherine.
DR.. Catherine was sitting on the
front row, whispering to her brother,

trimmed. The mothers lips moved as

Wall Street Bankers
to Lap Up Roosevelt
Billion Dollar Loan
SIS 900, 900 Profit Seen
In First Budget
Financing

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24-After a
eecret conference with leading Wall
Street bankers. Secretary of the
Treasury Morgenthau and his assist
ant, Earle Bailie, indicated today that
they expect the, bankers to subscribe
quickly to the first $1,000, 100000 Of
fering of the government as part OF
its $40 1000, 100000 budget. Bailie, who
was appointed by Roosevelt, Is a
member of the Wall Street banking
house, j. w. Seligman and Co.
The Treasury is offering $500,0oo,-
600 two and one-half per cent notes
to mature in IL months and another
$500, 5000 to mature in six months.
The Wall Street banks will eagerly
grab these notes, it was predicted,
because of the generous interest rates
offered by the Roosevelt government.
On the short-ter1n transaction, the
bankers will clear at least SIS, 000,0 900
interest profit.
Most of the funds thus raised by
the government will go for the pay
ment Of loans, subsidies, R.F.C. pre-
ferred bank stock investments, etc.
and other Wall Street monopoly in
tereStS.
Roosevelt is determined that these
investments Of the bankers shall be
guaranteed through heavy taxes on
the consumers, wage slasheS for fed
eral employees, etc.
