1 more pay for each day they
served in this country and $1.25

added together, and the total

compensation certificate,
The certificates were dated 1925
and were to mature in 1945. They
' average about $1,000 each,

Here are the essentials of

governrnewt would cash the
3,500,000 adjusted service certifi
cates held by World War veterans
in full at once.
New currency would be issued
to meet the payments, to an esti
mated total of $2,200,000,000.
The treasury would have autho
rity to contract the currency once
the price level reached the 1921-
'$497 for his certificate, in addi-
tion to the $500 he received on
a loan. The 15 per cent who have
not borrowed could get, on the a-
verage, $1,000.
I "To resort to the kind of finan
cial practice provided in this bill
I would not improve the conditions
necessary to expand those indus-
tries in which we have the great
est unemployment."
"I hold that that an able-bodied
citizen, because he wore a uniform
and for no other reason, should be
accorded no treatment different
from that accorded to other citi
zens who did not wear a uniform
during the World War."
"To meet a claim of one group
by this deceptively easy method
of payment will raise similar de
mands for the payment of claims
to other groups."
o
"It invites an ultimate reckon
ing in uncontrollable prices and in
the destruction of the value of
savings, that will strike most cruel
ly those like the veterans who seem
to be temporarily benefited."
"Every country that has attempt-
$5i 2 "SttSiS
suffered disastrous consequences."
"The statement x x x that pay-
ment will discharge and retire an
' acknowledged obligation of the
; government is, I regret to say, not
in accordance with the fact. It
wholly ' omits and disregards the
fact that, this contract obligation
is due in 1945 and not today."
