Over you waves the Red, White,

We're sure to win, our faiths

His work had been Incomplete;
Ask for His guidance, keep

Soldier Bonus
NOn-POlitical
By GEORGE PECK

President Roosevelt was right
on the beam" when, in his re-
cent radio address. he informed
the nation that plans were being
made to keep our soldiers from
being mustered out to a place
on the breadline or on a corner
selling apples.
If we have any quarrel with
the President on this matter it ia
not because we do not agree with
him Fundamentally that there
should n o. be a repetition of
World War l. when to our eter-
nal shame, our armed forces were
given such pittance upon dis.
charge that they could scarcely
buy decent suit of clothes at
the then prevailing prices. We
do wonder, however, why he de-
layed for 10 months after Pearl
Harbor to give this assurance to
our soldiers that they were not to
be the forgotten men" when
they have completed the job of
vanquishing our enemies.
Chairman SpanRler of the Re-
publican Party has already read
into this gesture of the President
a smart political maneuver to
garner the soldier vote in a bid
for a fourth presidential term.
Spangler may be right. but, in
our humble estimation. the pay
ing of adequate discharge com.
pensation to the men and wo-
men who have taken up the de.
lenses of t b e American Way
should not be made a political
football. If the President really
had a political idea in his mind,
