START CRUSADE
 AGAINST BONUS
National Economy League Proposes to Enlist Na-
 tiOn's Youth

Philadelphia, Dec. 4-(UP)-The National Economy league moved to- day to enlist the 40,000, 900 men and women between 21 and 20 in a cru- sade of youth" against payment of the veterans bonus before 1045. Launching the campaign in a luncheon address Karl Payne, New England secretary of the league which is dedicated to economy in government, threatened to organize an anti-bonus march of huge pro- portions to counteract any march on Washington by veterans.
 Youth Imposed Upon
 The theme of Payne's address was Youth Has Been Imposed Upon" He reviewed the financial effects of the World war, the national debt in- cured during that period and dur ing the present administration and the resultant taxation which he said twas again sadled on the over- burdened backs of younger genera tions."
 "Our first objective is clear" Payne said. we must fight aggres- sively and without quarter for 8 balanced federal budget through a reduction in expenditures and we must completely rout and annihilate any group that stands in the way of that objective.
 "Nor must we search far to To- cate the enemies of our purpose. Or ganized veterans are preparing to demand the payment of their bonus nine years before it is due. Nine years before their interest has been earned. There is absolutely no jus tification for payment of the bonus at this time.
 Let Them Try 1t
 Senator McAdoo urged the vet- erans to organize another bonus march on Washington. Let them try it. If organized veterans can get 8 few thousand bonus marchers or ganized, youth can get 10 times that number of anti-bonus marchers. Not only can-but will. Youth can stop this treasury raid" Payne also attacked the Townsend plan and "extravagant experimentation" by federal agencies.

 Seemed Fantastic

Comfort Wheel CT, his father, was born at Reho- both, Mass, March 13, 1766. He en- listed in April, 1780, at the age ot IA and served as orderly to Gen. eral Nathaniel Greene. William was ben of his fathers third marriage which occurred when Comfort was nearly 30 years old. This, William was 60 years younger than his old est brother, James. A chip off the old block insofar as patriotism is concerned, he was only 15> when he enlisted with the 11th Vermont in- fantry during the Civil war.

 Standard Oil of New Jersey through subsidiaries and af1liates has access to oil supplies in Ruma- mia, Argentine, Bolivia, Canada, Co., lombia, Java, Mexico, Peru, Poland, Sumatra and Venezuela.
 Sinclair Sources
 Other major United States oil firms have similar sources. Among them are Standard Oil of Califor- mia, Gulf oil. and Texas Corpora ton.

 Gulf has resources in Colombia and an interest in the Near East Development Co.,, which receives a cut in the Iraq oil supplies.
 Texas reserves are located in Mex leo and Venezuela.
 It was pointed out that in case the United States embargoed oil shipments continued supplies to belligerent nations would probably be dependent upon action by the various nations in which the oil reserves are located.
