The plan is not to deny a cash bonus to those who insist upon it but to do everything to encourage I the exercise by the soldier of one of the other options. ItdnUN 1 1 11 Hranrlinck. It is appreciated by leaders in con-! Kress that the cash bom.-s would be of no permanent benefit to a. large number of soldiers. Congressional leaders seeking to do the right thing conscientiously, and without regard for political rewards, understand that not every soldier has the head -of the careful business man. .Most of th-m tire youni? and many have not learned the value of a dollar, and there is the fear that too larpe; a proportion would fall victims to the oil stock salesman or to the fellow who is promoting an airless airplane. This- conviction on the part of con gress is not a reflection upon the Kreal mass of soldiers, but due to the appreciation that soldiers are simply human, like other folks, and that hu man beinps are subject to error. There is an earnest desire to protect them, but honest leaders are confronted by difficulty (m account of demagogues iri congress and out who are seeking to curry favor with the soldier by cri: Icisintr : t-.e siowness of the leaders to act. o'- who -are seeking to excite prejudice in the public mind by assail ing the plans ami motives w'orked out by the men in coi res.s who are giv ing the nation honest and industrious service.
