These were the provision a gainst which the Treasury objected, on . Hie ground that they would handicap the ad in i n I st rat ion in the refunding ncntin tion with the foreign goverments.

Neglect of these cases in State institutions, the memorial said, is committing to permanent insani ty many of tho victims, who by timely treatment probably could be cured. Describing the condition of "con tract" caws of this clasu in the institu tions of the State of Ohio ns typical of those in "practically every Wtate," the meni.iiial asserted the (iovernment had "farmed out the insane ex-service men of Ohio to Sbite asylums which are no toriously overcrowded, undermanned and inadoiptnt' ly equipped to treat and cure fur them." whi'e it has not provided one Federal institution fur this purpose in the Stat-. "For example," the memorial said, "in the Longvii v asylum of Hamilton county, Ohio, there ure 42 gallant sol diers who broke down mentally under the) sires of war, although Longview is so over, row ded that 2 ID of the inmates seep on the Hoar like cattle, every night."

Of wham, it was said, physicians believe half might be cured, not one, the memo- rial a.-.serted, was receiving "medical treatment of any kind for their mental J diseases and curable cases are being"iflnJiAV iloeine I t i permanent insanity." None of the institutions, it was further assert nl, segregate their tubercular patients.

In hundreds of case", it was asserted, ; relative's are refusing to commit mentally disabled veterans, who might lie restored; to useful cit iziti.-:!ii;i, to conditions In' the " contract ' ' asylums, most of whichi . the memorial said, are "nothing morel I ". than lock ups.' :' To make adequate provision for thr trea'metif of nil mental cases in Federal ; institutions, the organization urged that the Pnviidetit use his influence in seeur- , ing early action 1 y Cogress on the pend measure to appiopnuto Ib.tWO.OWV fur this purpose, emoting the reiiort of : tiie spec ial Senate committee that 4,373 more beds were urgently needed lieyond., . what would be provided by existing ap propriaUons.
