LOOKS LIKE MORE PENSIONS

The proposal that the Government
pay pensions to all widows and orphans of
World War veterans, even if the death of
the veteran was not the result of war ex-
perience, is proL ably the opening wedge
of drive for pensions that will eventually
include all who got their names on the
military rolls, by draft or otherwise.
The wedge, as it is, viii cost the gov
eminent S84.000,00 a year, according to
Gen. Hines administra of veterans af.

We certainly JOIN with alp Americans
in the hope that the people of the United
States, who will pay this bill, have no OBJ
lection to the payment of generous sums to
the orphans and widows of the men. who
gave up their lives for the nation. At the
same time, we do not believe that the peo-
pie of this country viii willingly pension
those who emerged from war service IN
touched and uninjured.
The past history of pensions in the
United States has not been record in
which national pride can be taken. To
avoid such a condition the government, at
the beginning of the World War, installed
the insurance system in the hope that the
pension problem could be avoided Hcw-
ever, as long as there are votes to be won
by pension Legislation, stheFeswillNbe pen

lions of young Americans have become of

that their burden is just beginning to grew

WAR NERVES

If you want to get an idea of the state
of nerves existing in Europe all that you
have to do is to read a news dispatch that
came from Paris the last week of January,
telling of an explosion of grenades being
moved by soldiers and the police IN a
suburb of the French capital
A newspaper correspondent writes
that when the blasts occurred the people
thought that war had been started by a
sudden airpIane raid and that the ex-
plosions were aerial bombs dropping upon
the suburb

SMALL BUSINESSES NEED CAPITAL


The conference of small business
men in Washington last week seemed to
have some difficulty in puttinga finger on
just exactly what may be the main prob
lem of their economic struggle but there
was some consensus of opinion that one of
the main needs is a source of capital
This means a source of loans, we
presume. as well as a supply of capital in
'vestments. Larger corporations, when they
need funds, issue bonds or stock, which are
sold throughout the nation. Very often the
purchasers Get nothing except pain IN the
neck because of losses that involve the big
business they have put their money INTO.
Because Of the expense involved in stock
promotions it's almost prohibitive for
small business men to use the same methods
to secure adequate financing
