apt TO return frnm- overseas and

Will be Just the same old strug-
gle that the Servlcenen Of
World War I had for 20 years
10 win compensation.
But if the war should con-
tinue up 10 the time of the
national conventions, the poll
ticians Of both parties will write
strong plankS into their plat
forms pledging their candidates
TO every effort 10 help the
veterans.

promise, which Will be forgotten
Immediately after election.
How do I know? Well. YOU
can find similar planks in the
platforms Of both parties in by
gone years when the problems
Of war veterans were live issues
and their votes greatly desired.
You can find the same promises
in thousands Of speeches bawled
from the huStlngS by candidates
of long ago and few of the
promises were kept
Our war veterans have always
been political pawns, 10 be used
at the convenience Of the poll
ticans They have never been
materially recognized poLti-
Cally. on the basis Of their
sacrifice. If you were TO suggest
that they organize on a political
basis you would be charged with
unworthy motives by the poll

voting strength of the vets split
