President Tells Senate Effort of Exending
Billions In Gratuties Would Menace Work
of Rehabilitating Disabled and Dependent
Veterans; Reduction of Tax Held Necessary
Washington, July 12. Enactment at the present moment
of adjusted compensation legislation for veterans of the
world war would "greatly imperil the financial stability of
our country," President Harding told the senate today in the
second address he has made to that body during his
administration.
Every obligation is to the disabled and dependent, the
president said, and the executive branch owed it to the coun
try "frankly to state the difficulties we daily are called upon
to meet and the added peril this measure would bsing."
"This menacing effort to expend billions in gratuities will
imperil our capacity to discharge our first obligations to
those we must not fail to aid," he said.
