The words soldier bonus repre-
SCENTS the common misuse Of the
term Adjusted Service Certificate.
In 1924, after debate which began
almost Immediately after the ARMS
tice was signed In 1913, Congress
adopted q law adjusting the pay Of
the men and women who served in
the Army, Navy and Marine Corps
during the days of actual fighting,
that is, between April 5, 1917, and
November IL, 1913. This step was
taken to correct, insofar as possible.
the unfairness between the compen-
sation paid to those who held
civilian positions. The base pay for
soldiers and sailors was 81 a day for
home service and $1.10 for foreign
service, whereas laborers received s.
a day and up. Congress voted to
adjust the service mems pay on the
basis of an additional 81 for each
day of home service and $1.25 per
day for foreign service. Instead of
discharging the debt, then, Congress
issued an Adjusted Service Certifi-
cate, payable in 1S45. 1t added to
the value of each certificate Is per
cent for waiting until 1s45, plus 4
per cent interest dating from 1925
to date of maturity.

The magazine notes that an increas-
ingly volume Of steel business is for the
replacement Of outworn industrial
equipment, apparently indicating that
the buyers are planning to facilitate
production.

ON THIS
OCCASION
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

All indications point TO a
passage by Congress at this ses-
sion of a Universal Service Act
destined TO take the profits out
of war and thus make war a
thing of the past. This act
provides that in times of war,
capital, industry and man
power shall be drafted and
used in the service of the nation
without special preference or
profit. The recent revelations
Of the munitions inquiry has
assisted most materially in
drawing the attention of Con-
gress TO the necessity Of passing
such an act.
