-Asaertlng immediate cash pay-j

day Issued a lormai statement ae-.
daring he would oppose any
movement to that end wfth all
of the influence at his command.
The chief executive directed hli
statement squarely toward the
American Legion convention at
Portland, Ore., before which, he
noted, a resolution recommending
immediate payment Is pending. He
contended again and again that
such action at this time would im
peril economic rehabilitation.
"Let ns not forget," he said,
"that while we have lost much In
this depression, we still have much
more to lose. And our whole fuf
ture may be said to depend upon

Payment now, the president aq
serted, would require an appro

would constitute a "calamity" to
