Speaks Out
for Defense
Appears at Newton Celebration in
His Honor ; Attacks Profit Mo
tive as Cause of War.
Newton, la., June 25. Demand
for immediate payment of the sol
diers' bonus was sounded by Frank
N. Belgrano, national commander of
the American Legion, In an address
here Tuesday night. j
Belgrano, speaking at Newton's
"Belgrano Day" celebration, declared
in favor of adequate national defense
against possible alien aggressors and
for "common justice to our disabled
defenders."
"Until recently the American
Legion consistently declined to
press for bonus payment because
it patriotically desired to help
our federal government balance
the budget," Belgrani said.
Becommend Pay.
"I do not say that the pres- 1
ent policy of spending our way
back to prosperity is right or
wrong, for politics have no place
in this, but once the federal
government is embarked upon a
spending program, we recom
mend immediate cash payment
of those certificates."
Belangro declared the reason for
an adequate national defense plan
is not for love of war but for love of
peace.
"As the world is constituted
today, our nation can no more
afford to assume the risk of an
inadequate defense than business
men can assume the risk of wip
ing out the Insurance which is
his protection against the haz
ards of ordinary existence." he
said.
Hits Profit Motive.
He closed by "defying any per
son to prove that unpreparedness
ever kept us out of war."
"In this session of congress
we are about to see adoption of
legislation providing . that the
country in war time shall have
services of industry, capital and
man-power with special privil
eges and profits for none," he
said. "This will remove one of
the greatest motives for war now
existing the profit motive."
He declared there is "only room
in America for one 'ism.. and that is
Americanism, the support of the
.United States Constitution.

instead of attempting to make it
through the rising waters of the
creek in the Iowa city.
In Omaha the rainfall brought
torrents of water flowing down the
streets and in a number of cases
large sections of paving were torn up
by the force of the water and swept
along other streets, there being a
large amount of washed out paving
swept onto 13th street, one of the
main entrance streets to the city.
The heavy rain swept a great deal
of mud and silt onto highway No. 75
between here and Omaha and made
travel very disagreeable until the
paving could be cleared.
In thi3 city the rainfall was .82

swept from the west drove it with
great force but no damage was re
ported in the city.
