Veterans Bureau
Hospital Policy
Held Deplorable

LOS ANGELES, June 13. (UP) -
Capt. Albert A. Roe, public relations
chairman of the Disabled American
Veterans Wednesday said sick vet
Grams were being treated as public
charges instead of men who have
inalienable right to government
disqualification.
Rec, veteran of three wars. said
that under present law any treat
ment afforded ex-servicemen by the
veterans administration is consider
ed a gratuity and blamed "deplor-
able conditions" in veterans hospi-
tails. y I
Claims of veterans can not be
brought into courts of law" he said.
"They must be handled by gov
ernment agency frcm which there
is no appeal"
Roe charged veterans organiza-
tions failed for years to publish
facts indicting the vterans admins
tration for fear they would jeopar-
die their standing with "the ma
chine built by the veterans admins
tration."
Three out Of four claims from
the last war we're allowed" Roe
said. Seven out of eight claims
by veterans OF this war have been
denied. 1t is too much to think
that seven-eighths CT our popula-
ton is crooked"

ASSESSING THE BENEFACTOR
(San Diego Union)

(oan Dlego UmOn)
An extreme example of our American
policy of all-get-nothing comes to
light in news dispatches saying that the
United States government is ''negotiat-
ing" for adjustment of tolls charged.
United States vessels using the Suez
canal.
That we have been paying tolls for
Transporting troops and supplies for our
Allies through this canal must come as a
jolt to most Americans, especially in view
OF the fact that British and other Allied
ships enjoy free use of our Panama canal.
Our shipment of men and supplies to
Africa, Russia, Italy and other ports by
way of Suez have been solely for the
benefit of Britain, France and Russia. We
have received nothing for our generosity,
and SO far as lend-lease is concerned
have no hope of repayment. We expect
nothing for ourselves as a result of the
defeat of Germany.
Great Britain excuses the collection Of
tolls from our Suez shipping on the
ground that she is only a Al per cent
stockholder, with France and Holland
as co-owners. This does not lessen the
injustice or absurdity of the assessment;
France already has been the beneficiary
of our shipments, and we are fighting in
the Pacific to restore the Dutch East
Indies to Holland.
The situation is more or less parallel
to that of a distressed neighbor charging
admission fees at the door for charit-
able visitor bringing relief or help If
the American people had known from
the beginning that their ships carrying
aid to our Allies were subjected to canal
tolls by the beneficiarias, it is probable
that they would have felt much less gen
erous about the matter of assistance
Our government should stand pat for
free transit for our troops and supplies
bound to the Pacific.

WILL MADE-TO-ORDER
GOVERNMENTS SUCCEED?

There is no dearth of theorists right
now on what course should be pursued in
putting the world back into running
order. And all are finding publicity out
lets for their pet theories.
Summed up, the central theme of
large number of these plans, is that all
governments in existence before the war
should be scrapped and made-tO-order
brand be turned out to replace them. The
scheme includes even our own form of
government, or at least some of the fund
amentals contained in the Constitution.
The test will come when the final peace
treaty is under consideration as far as
the old world is concerned. And it may
be that the more radical minded will
want our government thrown into the
discard along with those whose weak
nesses contributed to the global war.
Mass production of governments will
not be the solution to putting the world
into full gear again. 1t should not be the
province of the peace conference to draw
a pattern for regimes in the various ma
tions and then to order it into operation
wheher it fits or not But rather it shall
be the job to go as far as possible to trim
the pattern of the governments most ac-
cepCaDle ana audpIaDle TO q particular
nation. That done, even if the old patterns
are patched up, in the process, then to
see that the nations honestly carry on.
1t would be folly to make the gov
ernment Of the United States a model
for all the other nations AS absurd as to
undertake to supplant our form of gov
ernment with an overall blue print drawn
from any one of the other nations
Wars are bred when governments are
dishonest, or when dishonest leaders gain
control 1t matters not whether it be
Republic, Democracy or q Monarchy

came to this country in 1899. She
did not leave upon expiration Of her

ported to Hungary in 194l. Because
of the war, however, she was later

TEMPORARY, REPAIRS
FOR SIDEWALKS

Shortage of manpOWer and materials
probably has not been more conspicuous
ly brought out in any one instance than
in the action taken by Ell Centro City
Council relating to long overdue side
walk repairs.
Decision to fill in the most menacing
places with dirt as a move to prevent
mishaps to pedestrians would seem just
about the last straw.
Granting everything as to shortages,
there arises the question of the eXpedi-
ency Of this sort of make-shift program.
Is council justified in resorting to such
inadequate procedure?
Would il not be more practical and
better business to use the little material
that may be obtained at this time for re-
pairs for the wors. places or even rebuild
ing entirely? We have gone along so far.
And while no one would suggest putting
off such dire needs, no doubt we can put
up with conditions for the comparatively
short time between now and the day when
we can go into full swing.
Sidewalks, like storm sewers and
streets are not to be listed as make-work
projects in the postwar period. Their
pressing need has been upon us for
months and years The need was here
before the war MUST" has been the
word for long time. If it be we can get
going, even for few blocks right now,
we shall be under steam when manpower
and materials are freed from restric-
tions.
Let's not go back to the dirt-walks era.
Let's get out Of the habit of saying and
thinking that everything must wait for
postwar planning.
1t is difficult for Council to conceive
and put into operation any movement
that calls for labor and material. Every
one recognizes and appreciates that prob
lem.
Still, should we throw up our hands
and just wait?

The same can be said for many educa-

option that was about to expire"

Elliott go to a bank" Sirovich an

tiles are worth $750,000," the lawyer
said.
Il asked him why didn't Elliott

was the son of the President and
they didn't want to get involved =
Ewing said. $50 I made a date for
him with John Hartford in Hart
ford's New York apartment"

ference was held and so I didn't
know what took place." the attorney
said. However, the next day Hart
ford told me he had talked to the
President and that he was going
to lend Elliott the money.
Il wrote out a note and we NAM
ed as collateral security the stock
of the company Elliott proposed to
buy. I trusted him with a check on
the promise that he would deliver
the stock-which he did"
Ewing said the situation rocked
along for while"
LET 1T SLIDE
Hartford didn't want to go into
the radio business SO we just let the
thing slide,'" the attorney said.

port as bad debt"
