Citizen of every degree of competence loaned and acrificed, precisely in the same pirit that our armed force went out for service. The war spirit impelled. To a war necettity there wa but one amwer, but a peace bestowal on the ex-crvire men, at though the n pV'iue ollerini? could be paid for villi cash, it a perversion of public funds, a revertai ol the policy which ex alted public service in the past and suHifeits that future detente i to. he inspired by compensation rather than contcioutnciis of duty to flag- and the country. The pressing problem of the eov crnment it that of dimiuithinif our burdens rather than adding thereto. It i the problem of the world. War inflation and war expenditures have unbalanced budictt and added to in debtedness until the whole world in itagKering under the load. We have heen driving in every direction to curtail our expenditure and establish economic without .impairing the es sential of governmental activities. It hat been a difficult and unpopular task. It is vastly more applauded to expend than to deny. Alter nearly a year and a quarter of insistence and persuasion, with a concerted drive to reduce government expenditure in every quarter pottible, it would wipe out everything thu far accomplished to add now tin proposed burden and it would rend the commitment ot economy and saving so essential to our future welfare. Must Heed Deficits. "The financial deficit of the eov- crnment are too little heeded until we are face to face with a great emer gency. The diminishing income of the government, due. to the receding tides of business and attending in comes, has been overlooked momen tarily, but cannot be long ignored. The latest budget figures for the cur rent fiscal year show an estimated deficit of more than $650,000,000 and a further deficit for the year succeed ing, even after counting upon all in terest collections on foreign debts which the government is likely to receive. Added pledges to pay, ex cept as necessity compels, must seem no less than government folly. In evitably it means increased taxes, which congress was unwilling to levy or the mirnose ot this bi II. and will turn us from the course toward econ omy so essential to promote the ac tivities which contribute to common welfare. "It is to be remembered that the United States played no self-seeking part in the world war and pursued an unselfish policy after the cause was won. We demanded no reparation for the cost involved, no payments out of which obligations to our ser vice men could be met. I have not magnified the willing outlay in be half of those to whom we ha.ve a sacred obligation. It is essential to 'remember that a more than $4,000,-000,000-plcdge (o the able-bodied ex service men now will not diminish the later obligations which will have to be met when the young veterans of today shall contribute to the rolls of the aged, indigent and dependent. It is as inevitable as that the years will pass, that pension provision for world war veterans will be made as it ha been made for those who served in previous wars. It will cost more billions than I venture to sug gest. There will be justification when the rstaliiuhrd PMtuc it thr na lion, and puit the snwe nun of the win Id war I'll the t.ime plane at the milliont of in'ii who lnusjht thr pie Vioti batt'et of the republic, Rc(rct Dittnpointmcnt, "I ciafest a regret that I must touul a note ot disappointment t the inaii ex if Hue nien who have the impression that it it at simple a matter (or tbe government t bestow hilliont in peace a it w to expend billion in war.

I would rather appeal, therefore, to tbe randid reflection of emigre ami thr country and to the ex-tervice men in particular a to the course better tinted to further the welfare of our country.' These ex soldiers who served o gallantly in war, and who are to be so conspicu ous in the procjret of the republic in the half century before im, must know that nation can only survive where taxation i restrained from the limit of oppression, where tbe public treasury i loekeri against cism legis l.ition, but ever open to public neces titv and prepared to meet all een tial obligation, Such a policy make a better country for which to fight, or to have fought, and aflord a surer abiding place in which to live and anain. , President Emphatic in Veto of Bonus Bill (Conlluurd front )'( On.) passage of the bill at a later date. His message today had an air of fi nality,' interpreted at flatly against the bonu. not merely for financial reason, but because he now con s'dert it wrong in principle. The house is expected to act on the veto after a few hour debate to morrow. McNider Sends Message. After the veto message had been sent to the house, llanford MacN'i ler, national commander of the American Legion, wrote the following letter to each congressman and senator: "After three years of careful con sideration, the representatives of the people in congress have repeatedly given the adjusted compensation leg. ihlation their approval. I'rcsident Harding opposes its enactment into law. Apparently agreeing with the principle, be is unwilling that the handicap of those who oilcred their, lives and brought safety to the nation should be adjusted. "It is our firm belief that the eco nomic rehabilitation of the veteran is so necessary to the welfare of the country that immediate passage of this bill should not be delayed. The splendid stand of those men in the house and in the senate who have fought so bard for the scrvi-e men gives us confidence and assurance that they will sustain a cause they be lieve to be just." i)th anniversary of the church ()c t.dier I J, The first pattor, rv J.
