parents, brother or sister. 1t has
a loan value, and the Government
will lend him money on it.
The monthly payments to bene-
ficiaries are. admittedly, small. The
lowest listed is 1929 for $1,000 to a
beneficiary aged 10, the highest
1851 to a person of IS. At the max
imum of $4,000, however, it was
pointed out, monthly payments start
at S3290 and increase with age.
And the payments go on during the
lifetime of the beneficiary. Their
rate is based on the life expectancy
Of the dependent when payments
start.
Cites Case of Widow.
Suppose" an official suggested,
"the widow were paid $4,000 in a
lump sum. When she had spent this
money, she would have no protec-
ton. There is no way she could
invest it safely and receive as large
an income as we would provide her
under one Of these policies. Unless,
! of course, she was lucky enough to
make some investment which pyra-
mided the money, and that's most
unusual. 1t is question of whether
her husband wants to know that
she will be protected with even a
modest income the rest of her life
or have her receive a sum that
might enable her to live in luxury a
couple of years
I During the war. he added, the
soldier or sailor paid for term in
surance-at the rate of about Sc
month for $4,000 and term in
surance is the cheapest kind obtain
able, as private companies long have
recognized. This was originally s.
year term insurance, but Congress
/ has extended it to eight years
Naturally, straight life is higher
and the veteran could not expect to
. convert at the rate Of term insur-
ance, which protects him only for
certain time
But this converted straight life
the official said, is considerably low
er than any comparable policy the
veteran could get from private
company. This, he said, the insur-
ance companies freely admit.
Why should a veteran keep UP
his insurance?
Because. the Government insur-
ance people say, it's the cheapest
and safest form of insurance he can
get for its particular purpose-to
spread maximum benefits through
the lifetime of the dependent who
survives him

How Congress can thus discrim-
mate against two veterans" he
writes. cannot be reasoned out by
the veterans. The American Legion
has had bills before Congress for
the past four years to rectify this
unjust and discriminatory situa-
ton"
But nothing has been done, he
adds.
Inquiry at the Veterans Admin
istration brought answers to the
questions raised by the GI's and
by veterans organizations These
are stated for whatever they may
be worth.
Situation Summarized.
A spokesman of the agency has
tened to point out that it did not
pass legislation, but carried it out
Yet he was familiar with the rea-
soning OF those who helped draft
the insurance acts of both wars
and who thought they knew what
Congress had in mind This is a
summary of the answers:
1t is true that insurance of the
last war carried disability benefits
and this insurance carries none
But, since the close Of the last war
pensions payable to veterans for
disabilities in varying degrees have
increased greatly, more than l0C
per cent in some categories. The
pensions were intended to take the
place OF disability insurance.
1t is a fact that the old United
States Government insurance could
be taken out by the discharged
serviceman in the form of endow-
ment or life policies which paid out
in cash at the end OF periods of
years. This insurance is limited tc
straight life, though it may be paid
up and premiums stopped in 20 to
30 years. The policies have no cash
surrender value and are payable
only to beneficiaries.
Many Cashed Policies.
During the quarter of century
since the close of the last war ii
was found that many veterans
cashed paid-up policies and blew
in" the money. leaving their widows
parents or other beneficiaries de-
stitute at their death. This, say
Government insurance officials, was
responsible for passage of law au-
thorizing pensions for widows and
other dependents of the World War
The present policies have the sole
purpose of protecting a veterans
beneficiary, who is limited to his
immediate family-wife, children
