c. l. JOE, whether at the battlefront or at home as discharged veteran, holds an A-i priority oil this administrators thought and concern,
 Under It's present Commnnder.in- Chief, ours has become the bcst.fed bestscothed best housed best. paid, and best-equpped army in the history of the world.
 This has paid dividends in the health and conn fort of our men, and in the savings Of hundreds Of thousands of precious lives.
 And within c month of Pearl Harbor, forehanded aS usual, the President began focusing attention the special problems of the returning dI,-the man who has been compelled to make greater economic sacrifice and every other kind Of sacrifice than the rest Of us" Six months later he proposed detailed iife
 FIRST he recommended generous scheme Of mastering. out pay. Adopted by the Congress iS pFo vdes payments from sioO to $500 depending upon length Of service
 The remainder of the Presidents program was incorporated in an epoch.making bill now famous as the CT. Bill Of Rights.
 Under that bill every demobilized veteran is sn- titled to this:

 NOTWITHSTANDING Candidate DeweyS wan" ton attempt to play upon the anxeties of oil those with loved ones in service the armed forces will be demobilied ct the earliest possible moment This will be done by c plan carefully worked out under Sec- retary of War Stimson-a Republican, incidentally, and of the millions of true patriots in that party
 It is thoroughly practical and democratic plan' Experts were sent into the field to obtain cross sec- ton of the thinking of enlisted men, The demobiza- ton plan represents their majority democracy
 The Generalization plan offers positive assurance that the size of the military establishment that will be needed after the defeat of Germany has been ca culated with the exactness aS the "sze of the Army needed up to No soldier will be kept in the military service who is not needed to fill these require ments."
 Candidate Dewey might read this detailed plan before repeating his unvarished lie that the Admin straton plans to hold in the armed forces after the need for them there has vanished
