(Special to The Star.)
Baleigh, April i8. C. A. Gosney, ad
jutant and finance officer for the Ameri
can legion in North Carolina, has writ
ten a letter to Congressman Claude
Kitchin in which he gives what he: be
lieves is the ' concensus of , 'opinion
among the majority of 'ex-service men
ln this state regarding soldier bonuses,
a matter that Is now before the na
tional congress ln the form of a number
of bills. . . ' ' '
."The matter of soldier beneficial leg
islation has been widely discussed in
this state," Mr. Gosney says in his let
ter to the second district congressman.
'From the beginningr we were opposed
to a cash bonus oi adjusted .compen
sation. We believe that merely a money
payment would be a,, mistake. We thln
that any. such legislation should be
constructive In its hature;' tand we
want something that will be of bene
fit to the ' country as a whole,.' rather
than merely to ex-service men.
. "The bill recently Introduced In - the
house by Mr.-Fordney of Michigan, ex
presses .the : wishes and - desires of the
majority of the ex-service men in this
state, as s well vas those -" of all men
throughout the , several states. It iar
oonstructive and would give to the ex-!
soldien. an oppotunity,, which he will
never Tiave again"., jVocatiohal training
or education, and adjusted compfensa
tion are all right, in certain 'circum
stances; but for the man Jwho has come
home with1 a desire for a ' home, and
roost of them have come with such .a
desire; the1 first two; options contained
fn the bill are the ones in which he Is
most interested. It provides a way for
the ;ex-soldler. to get: a home on easy
