NEW YORK, July 31.-Tomor-
row, in the dawn of Southampton,
the American Davis cup team will
board a liner and begin a sad re-
treat which started with high
hopes and finished with crushed
ones.
Smothered five matches to none
by the British in the challenge
round, Americas chances of lifting
the cup seem farther removed than
ever. And they probably are, for
Germany, not like the United
States, is the nation most likely
to succeed England as holder of
the trophy.
If you will study the history of
the Davis cup-and it makes for
most unintereSting reading, I as
sure you-you will find that the
cup nearly always belongs to the
country which boasts the worlds
No. l singles player England won
the cup when Fred Perry became
the premier singles performer.
France held it when Cochet was
tops, and the United States when
Tilden was. England will continue
to keep it on the tight little isle
so long as Perry stays the head
man.
But how long will that be? Four
or five years if he elects to con-
tinue tournament play and SpurnS
professional offers and the call of
Hollywood and business. But it is
generally believed that Perry will
assist in only one more cup de-
fense at the most. and when he
vacates the No. l post, who will
succeed him?
There is only one anSWer-Baron
Gottfried Won Cramm of Germany.
He has been the heir apparent
for two years, and when Perry
steps down he will step up. And
Germany's cup team will step up
with him. The blonde nobleman
won his first singles match against
the United States in the interzone
final, and only after his partners
had lost the German bid for the
cup did he drop an indecisive
match to Don Bulge. A year from

YANKEES AND
CARDINALS IN
BAD SLUNPS
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, July 81. - The de-
cline of the st. Louis Cardinals
and New York Yankees, who looked
like the 1885 world series rivals a
fortnight ago, had baseball fans
specializing today whether these
teams have shot their bolt.
The Yanks have lost nine OF
their last 12 games and not only
have relinquished the American
league lead to the Tigers, but are
in serious danger of losing second
place to the climbing Chicago
White SoX.
The Cards have dropped eight
of their last nine games, and have
tumbled from first place, which
they occupied briefly on July %, to
third place, 51a games behind the
pace-setting New York Giants. I'm
less st. Louis soon shakes off its
slump Pittsburgh, travelling at its
fastest pace of the season, will be
a menace for third place. The Pi-
rates now trail the Cards by Az
games.
Both the Tigers and the Yanka
took it on the chin yesterday as
the White Sox gained a full game
on the two leaders. julius Solters'
home< with two on gave the st.
Louis Browns an 8-6 triumph over
Detroit. Paul Richards homer with
mate on enabled the Philadelphia
Athletics to beat the Yankees, 6-5
The White Sox trimmed Cleveland,
8-6. Fritz Ostermuller pitched the
Boston Red Sox to an la victory
over Washington.
The Chicago Cubs won their 10th
straight and their 23rd victory in
26 games by defeating Pittsburgh
8-6 The victory enabled the Cubs
to cut the Giants lead to one
game. New York divided double
header with the Philadelphia Phil
lies, losing the first game, l1-5, and
winning the second, 80.
The Cardinals had ST. lead 60
ING into the 7th inning, but jess
Haines tired and the Cincinnati
Reds rallied to win. 6-5.

per cent of the face value. This loan to the vet
eran was neither a gift nor an act of charity
upon the part of the federal government. 1t
was merely a financial transaction in which the
federal government placed itself in the loan bus
mess and required the veteran to pay compound
interest on money which the federal government
had decreed already belonged to him. Sum
marizing these developments of the past ten
years, the situation is briefly as follows. APP
proximately three and one-half million veterans
hold certificates that have an average present
value of about $4,000. 1t will require nearly
two billion, two hundred million dollars to dis
charge this debt today. This is the amount that
Congress intended each veteran should receive
when this law was passed. Any attempt to deduct
interest charges will violate the intent Of Con
gress, and the will of the American people, in
their desire for fair play and a spirit of gener-
osity toward the men who served their country
SO faithfully when its future was at stake.
The fight for immediate cash payment of adj
justed service certificates has reached a peculiar
stage. The issues involved have the favorable
support of American citizens as a whole, the
unanimous approval Of the veterans themselves
and a majority Of those who make up both
llOu9C9 III III OOHSlCSS u the OHltCu pldleS.
The opposition to this appeal for fair play is
concentrated in a small group of wealthy indi-
viduals who will tolerate any expenditure from
the federal treasury except those that apply to
veterans.
The administration opposed Patman bill for
paying off the soldiers adjusted service certifi-
Gates by issuing $2,OOO,OOO,O0O of new money was
passed by the House and sent to the Senate on
March p. The vote was 318 to 90. This is
more than the two-thirds required to pass the
measure over a presidential veto. Senate ap-
proyal was freely predicted, but administration
leaders counted on that body to refuse to pass
the measure over a veto. That would require
a two-thirds vote.
The Vinson Legion Bill was rejected by the
House by a vote Of 204 to 207 and Tydings Pro
posal for the issuing of negotiable bonds lost
by 81 to 318.
Patman's bill provides for the issuing Of new
currency.
The Veterans of Foreign Wars, Americas
Overseas Men, have led the veterans fight for
passage of the Patman bill in the belief that it
not only will pay the adjusted service certifi-
Gates Immediately in cash, but will not increase
in any way our national debt. The adoption of
the Patman bill by the House further ~iustifies
the fight made by the Veterans.

The Soldiers Bonus

In this discussion of the s~o-called bonus ques-
ton The Montana Labor News takes it for
granted that all are familiar with the basic prin-
ciples of this legislation. We are going to as
sumo that you have already been told that back
in 1924 the Congress of the United States voted
to adjust the war time wages that were paid to
our soldiers, sailors and marines on an equal
basis with the lowest paid wage Garner who re-
NAMED at home, safe from the rigors of mill
tary life and far from the murder and hell Of a
battlefield. By this time, you are undoubtedly
familiar with the fact that when this law was
passed back in 1924 the veteran was given a piece
of paper in acknowledgement of this unpaid debt.
This piece of paper is legally identified as an
adjusted service certificate. In reality it is
merely a promissory note in which the federal
government pledged itself to pay the face value
in cash - not in 1925 when this certificate was
issued but twenty years later in 1915. In
other words, twenty-seven years after the vet
eran was told that the Armistice was signed, and
his services were no longer required, he would
receive a sum of money that was actually due
to him on the day that he received his honor
able discharge.
Today there are approximately three and one
half million world war veterans in possession
of these certificates. The total amount of these
outstanding certificates represents a sum of ap-
proximately two billion, two hundred million dol
lars. In 1892, when the federal government
sought to relieve widespread distress among
veterans, Congress voted to increase the loan
value of these certificates to the extent Of fifty
