Says It Is “Cleaned Up” St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 15.—The Unit ed States Veterans' bureau "has been cleaned lip" but it “cannot take an other forward step unless public con fidence In our work is preserved by a cessation of turmoil mul baseless con demnation," declared Gen. Frank T Hines, a director of the bureau, in ;,n address today before the convention of the American Legion. General Hines complimented the le gion for responding to his appeal for Its "whole-hearted co-opetaticn" ar.'l landing "ungrudgingly an active and Intelligent* co-operation of the highest degree of helpfulness." "I think,” said General Hines, "that [never before has it been so necessaiy for us all to form a Just and true ap preciation of what has lately be< n i accomplished and then to see to it, by every means in our power, that the people of the United States have an understanding knowledge of the great work that has been done for the men disabled by.service in time of war. Rumors Fill Air. "I find the air is at this moment full of presages and rumors that at tacks will shortly again be made upon the veterans’ bureau, that propaganda connected wllh the Interests of the ex-service men and that publicity campaigns are projected In which it ^ Is intended to drag out the mistakes W* "Vert errors of the past, before you and it put our shoulders to the wheel, and so to visit as It were, the sins of ine fathers upon the children of the thi.d and fourth generation. "You and I know very well that * (here was at one time something amiss in the i’nited States Veterans bureau—that untill lately there was always something considerably wrong with the administration of its soldier relief. The roots of those troubles lay far back In the beginning, when these government agencies • were hastily organized under the stress of actual warfare, imperfectly thought out, Inefficiently manned and admin istered and llloglcally anil spasmod ically developed In limes of peace." Defending his administration, Gen era I lllnes said: Never Can Be Perfect. "If It shall he said that there is anything fundamentally wrong with the veterans bureau now, such state ments shall be untrue. I am not so foolish as to suggest that the ad ministration of veteran relief is now a perfect thing; it never can he that, and never will; hut wc can say—for It Is truth itself—that an enormous stride has been taken. "All available government hospital facilities have been thrown open to veterans of any war, military occu pation expendition since the begin nings of the Spanlsh-American war, without asking whether their ail ments were due to services or not, 01 brought about by their own miscoti duc\ or not, so long as that, veteran rls In need of hospital treatment anil government has the hospital to tVeat him fti. "We have solved the problem of ijehabllitalion. I p to July 1, 1921, only 5,000 men had been rehabilitated. Alnoe then more than 75,000 have lAen rehabilitated, over 60,000 of them within the past two years, and 40,000 others are in the course of completing training." We Have With Us Today (apt.
