it on a personal note by saying

AS for the relief angle, he as
serted Congress has just appro

purposes, and in this the veterans
will share along with othel
citizens, and added:
81 hold that an able-bOdied
citizen should be accorded no
treatment different from that
accorded to other citizens who
did not wear a uniform during
the World War.
"Why should Congress lift
that burden (relief) in respect
only to those who wore the uni
form? Is it not better to treat
every able-bodied American
alike and to carry out the great
relief program adopted by this
Congress in a spirit Of equality

He recounted at considerable
length what the Government al

estimating the total cost Of the
benefits to date at seven billion
eight hundred million dollars.
Payment of the certificates at
this time, coupled with normal
current and future expenditures
for the veterans, would run the
total bill up to thirteen billion
five hundred million dollars by
1945, he said, or a sum equal to
more than three-fourths Of the

The Patman bill, he noted, set

the purchasing power Of millions
of citizens; 90 that it will provide
