Duncan To Preach At BaptUt Church Bv ravino- the Soldiers' Bonus now very little extra debt will be incurred, all in fact will be the small amount of interest that would accrue betweea now and 1945 when the Bonus is du and payable. The government can borrow the money to retire tne Donus on n less Tier cent interest cnurite than is now beinsr paid by the soldiers in 'case they borrow on their certifi cates. As it is now, if the boys bor row one-half the amount due them. the interest charge and other ex penses will almost eat un the half due them and to be paid in l4i. The pavine of the ibonus now means only retiring: a debt that must be paid in 1945. It does not mean that we shall be 'going into debt the two and a half billions of dollars necessary to retire the soldiers' bo nus. The debt is already made. It seems to be the thought that much money must be spent to overcome; the depression, the direct result of the World War. The men who wuo!d receive the bonus are scatter ed all over the Nation and a wide dis tribution of money would be accom plished by paying the bonus now. Too. these soldier boys have earned the money.

S. Government that it can take out what has been loaned from the amount due the boys in 1945, and to the' principal take out vUiJ is termed necessary expenses and a five per cent interest charge. Thus making the soldiers' pay that, out of their own money. This . cor- . poratiott v is : :able?f to capitalize, note gj their own money, i&tthg money tv"t.

I"- - i"?" have never ibeen able to understand: ;5 anv good reason why a private cor" poration should have been formed, tor make these loans, if it was necessary that the loans should be made. Then whvv the private corporation made up of the excessively rich should ev er have been permitted. The gov ernment could borrow the money and loan it for a less per cent interest by ;at least two per cent than' the cor poration has done and is now doing. It looks to me like penalizing the sol diers for the benefit of the particu lar group focminiz the loan corpora tion. During the vears 1917 and 1918--33,000 millionaires were made in. the United States, the result of the war. Too, these were made at the ex pense of the soldiery who were sent into the war. Thousands upon thous ands of others who staved at home profited much more than the nig gardly sum allotted as a bonus to the bovs after thev came back home. If the government can borrow billion for new projects, marji' of which a mount to almost nothing now or in the future, why can it not sret money to pay off the ibonus to thp soldiers? There are lots of the boys that are now in dire distress and thousands of them will pass over the river before 1945. Why pot give to Cassar what belongs to him. and to the soldiers of the World War what is by right their own? Compare the ease with which the 33,000 millionaires were s.'ade dur ing the war bv taking advantage of a gituation made bv the boys ..who went jta .France; While the soldier boys were going throufeh all kinds of sacri fice, even to ithe lo-- their lives, this bunch. of, capitalists was feath ering their nests Jbv manipulation of conditions where ' the very . Jives vf the finest sons of America must fight and sacrifice for the sum of a dollar a day. y V : I think sometimes that perhaps the v crash of 1929 was not so bad after all. Most of these milionaises lost all they had filched from tie public and especially from the soldiers. It was not only the soldier boys that have had to suffer on account pt the -greed of those that used a condition to make themselves rich, but aO-of- us have rtad to suffer and are vet sut f ring. Out of fairness snd justice I do believe that the soldiers' bonus should be oaid. and too, that the pen sions ought to be restored. . .-- v, IRA PLEMMONS - - j .or- nr- .. vi-,--; -, V'-,--.X it always brought a heavy, fast teamv here.
