as good investment and receive
promises of cooperation to that end.
The Secretary explained the first
three steps in the huge task of han
ding the bonus claims are nearing
completion, and have required the
closest cooperation between the Vet
erans' Administration, the Treasury,
Federal Reserve banks and Post ONCE
Departments.
First, the Veterans Administra-
tion computed the amount due each
veteran and furnished a voucher for
the amount to the Treasury disbursing
Office. which made out the checks
used for payment of amounts of less
than $50. Then the plates used for
making out the checks were sent to
the Federal Reserve Bank, which
made out ;he bonds and registered
each one.
THE bonds and checks are now
being made up into packages to be
turned over to the Post Office Depart
ment for registry, so that they can
be mailed out June Is. Each package
requires return receipt requiring the
signature OF the veterans, as the bonds
are non-transferable.
100000 More Ready Soon.
We estimate that 100000 Of the
registered packages will be ready for
mailing June Is, and most of the re-
naming 100000 for which applica-
tions have been received will prob
ably be in the mails by the end of the
month. Claims on which correspond
ence Is necessary before they can be
certified, and which have been re-
ceived during the past few weeks. may
require somewhat longer, but will be
handled as quickly as possible. Special
forces are at work to facilitate hand
ling of the applications"
Special disbursing Offices will be set
up near each of the II Federal Reserve
districts to handle payment of the
bonds. Checks may be handled
through any commercial channel, in
the same manner as an ordinary
check but the bonds will be cashed
through the special disbursement
offices after identification of the vet
eran has been made.
The special disbursement Offices will
operate through between 200 and 800
postofnces throughout the country, but
veterans in smaller towns not desig-
mated to cash the bonds also may re-
ceive cash payment through their
local postoff1ces.
How to Obtain Money.
IF the veteran lives in a city
where the post Office has been desig-
mated to cash the bonds, he can OBJ
tain his money by properly identifying
himself. That will apply to cities with
first class post Offices and to some
cities with second class offices.
IF the veteran does not live in
one Of those cities designated, he will
go to his local office, identify him.
self and execute transfer. The
postmaster viii forward the bonds
to one Of the designated Offices and

Mr.. Carias has just finished four
year term as President, and has in
duced his assembly to extend his term
another six years, without going to
the trouble of having an election.
The only way his opposition can
submit him to the people is at the
point of a gun. According to all re-
ports, members of the opposition have
made excellent preparations to that
effect. The betting around here is
that they will not be long. whether or
not those two particular boats ar

Pan-American Conference is in the

What may prove to be far more
serious is the fact that some others
down in that end of the neighborhood

ideas than ours about running the
forthcoming neighborhood confer

American politics is beginning to creep

was, and still is, the intention of this
Government to confine it solely to
peace pacts. But Chile, for some
time, has been worried by Argentine
armament purchases. especially air.
planes. So the President of Chile, in
his response to President Roosevelt,
suggested that the conference take
up the question of limitation of arma-
ments in this hemisphere.
Our armament limitations have al

If we ever get mixed up with the
