After thorough discussion of the matter the Post voted to wire our respective Congressmen and solicit their support of legislation for the Immediate cash payment of the World War Veteran's Bonus.

The German soldier, and the allied soldiers, have been shown special consideration in time extension on war loans to their respective nations. The Post believes that the time will never come in his lifetime, when the World War Veteran will need relief, more tban he does at the present time. The United States Govern ment owes a just debt to Americans .who fought the World War, and the soldier Is merely asking that this debt be paid. The Post wired Hon orable Wright G.
