A NATIONAL DISGRACE
Many who read this would have
died on the battlefields of France,
"of been permanently crippled, had it
not been .for the American soldiers
.'now known as "disabled veterans."
I They stopped the enemy and his
bullets. That shortened the war-
emiei jt before more of the folks
, back home were drawn into the cas
i'nalty ltets.
The lucky ones who came through
the war uninjured are enjoying
peace. But the war goes on forever
for the disabled soldier.
In most cases his battle will last
until his death.
And it is a battle that he is fight
ing largely alone.
More than three years have pass
ed since the armistice. The disabled
war veterans, far from enjoying the
'comforts that are rightly theire by
a 'laws of decency, again are com-
pelled to fight for fair, square treat-
The details of this fight are being
xoia in me news colums or tue uany
papers.
The situation discloses gross neg
iect and an almost criminal stupid
ity in mishandling the disabled sol
diers.
It is becoming an old story. And it
is shadowed by talk of "national in
gratitude." There is, however, no ingratitude.
The American people ore fully aware
of the tremendous debt they owe
tbeir crippled and maimed war
heroes.
The American people stand ready
to foot the bill whatever is neces
sary to give these men a square deal.
Responsibility for this national
disgrace is somewhere in Washing
ton. Pot will call kittle black. The buck
will be passed freely between con
gress and the Veterans' bureau.
The unscrupulous will coin politi
cal capital out of the situation.
After all is said and done, the real
trouble Is nothing but red tape and
stupidity. It is unbelievable that any
American official or representative is
voluntarily throwing obstructions in
the disabled veteran's path.
What is needed in Washington is
a little common sense.
In all the history of our republic,
there never has been as black a dis
grace as the neglected disabled veter
ans. The public refusing to believe
that Uncle Sam's efficiency has fallen
to' iero. demands .action, fast and
thorough.

"He told me that the Oliver plow he used 51 years ago never?
failed him. They didn't have disc plows in those days, but
he said that a man like Oliver who would make as good a
mouldboard plow as the one he used, would make everything
good that bore his name.
"Grandad was sure right because this Oliver D-72 disc plow
certainly does stand the tugging the Fordson tractor has to
give it to get it through this tough soil."
