For halt a century the stale of Oregon had maintained a soldiers homo In this city. We had bo como "veteran minded," liked that typo of facility, and In seeking a federal homo part of our reason ing was wo wero, as a community, well qualified by experience to work Willi ami understand the op eration' of a large homo for war veterans. For Iho reason llinl it was Hie general . understanding that , the federal .instituf Ion hero was to be a' soldiers home for til 1 veterans, the Oregon legislature discontinu ed tho state soldiers homo and do-, nated that property to the govern ' iriont also. Two years ago two iiunoulicn nienls made In rapid succession by tho veterans administration changed tho entiio situation.

In fact, Instead of benefiting Hie veterans of Oregon by having the federal government provide a new and hotter soldiers homo, tho not result of what finally did hap pen was Iho elimination of tho only domicile they did have, the Oregon Soldiers Home.

Holds Spending Needed But Doesn't Cure Depression Ily JOHN T. FI.YNN N10A Service Starr Correspondent There Is n violent argument In progross, or which Mr. Mnrriner Kccles Is the center, on tho etfect which the government's spending program has had upon the course of business. Mr. Kccles says such recovery as we have had was the resull of government spending antl that without it the country would have been ruined. His critics say had it not been for Ihe government's spending riolley private Invest ment would have gotten Into action and that real recovery has been prevented by government spending. Ilnth sides Ignore some import ant factors. There is no doubt that Mr. Kccles is right when be says tho recovery we have bail has been due to government spending, lie is also right when he says that without government spending tho country would have been rutnftl. Ills critics weaken themselves when they attempt to denv these facts. U. S. Case Weak Hut whether the government spending has produced a u y "real" recovery Is another matter. Whether Hie spending has been wise is also another story. And even more important is ihe ques Hon whether Hie policies accom Haying government spending have boon caii-ulaled to aid recov ery. t)u these points Hie verdict must lie against the government. Private Investment is essential to the functioning ol tho capitalist system. The government spend ing program was desiguoil to lake the place id private investment. .Now private inveshnenl hail eoin plelely collapsed by HUH. This was not Ihe fault id tie- govern ment, but of the roily or private business preceding tint collapse. Two great problems faced Ihe na tion as a resell.
