The Bonus up Again
Enough congressmen have signed the petition to force
a vote on cash payment of soldiers' bonus on JIarch 12, de
spite the expressed opposition of President Roosevelt
which effectually disposes of the supposition that the ad
ministration can do anything it wants to in the house.
The measure to be voted on is the Putman bill to pay
.$2,100,000,000 in greenbacks (printing press money) to the
veterans, constituting an inflation of the currency, fiat mon
ey not secured by a gold reserve.
The bonus bill in all probability will pass the house, for
all of its members come up for reelection this year and want
to buy the veteran vote for themselves at public expense and
avoid threatened reprisals. It is an instance of how organ
ized minorities dominate legislation by coercion of politi
cians. The measure will have harder sledding in the senate, for
only one-third of its membership come up for reelection.
Kven if it passes both houses, a presidential veto awaits it,
for Mr. Roosevelt is opposed to payment at this time as de
moralizing the nation's finance, and interfering with recov
ery plans.
Thus though the passage is an acknowledged venture in
futility, the time of congress will be taken up with a flow of
oratory and a record of votes for home consumption to
strengthen the political fences of congressmen. When it is
n question of national welfare or their own individual wel
fare, our representatives can usually be depended upon to
vote for the latter, especially when they realize that their
votes simply constitute a gesture for personal popularity.
Deposit Insurance
Because of objections materializing and the stand taken
by some states, such as Connecticut, making it illegal for
state banks to subscribe to the permanent plan of bank de
posit insurance, the administration has decided to continue
the temporary plan now in effect until June 30, 1935, while
a new plan is being drafted.
The proposed new plan, discussed at a White House
conference, include the features that have proven most help
ful in bringing deposits back to banks. The permanent plan
was found objectionable for instead of guaranteeing strength
to the banking system in time of stress, it would probably
drain the reserves of sounder banks when most needed.
Figures gathered from operations of the present insur
ance system shows that 97 percent of all depositors are pro
tected by the $2500 limitation of the temporary plan, and
that this 97 percent hold only 36.1 percent of the country's
total bank deposits. By advancing into the higher brackets,
as projiosed, there would be but a small increase in the num
ber of depositors protected but a big increase in the hazard
to the bank.
The Federal Deposit Insurance corporation can raise
$1,700,000,000 from subscriptions already made to its capital
stock and from its present rights to borrow on notes and de
bentures, which would be ample under the $2500 limit. Ex
tension to the higher brackets makes possible unlimited as
sessments feared by the banks.
It is the small depositor that needs protection, gets panic
stricken and causes runs, and with 97 percent of all deixisi
tors safeguarded, the purpose of bank deposit insurance has
Jieen realized.
Safeguarding Royalty
Prince Sigvard, Duke of Uppland, second son of the
frown prince of Sweden has been disowned by the royal
house of Sweden for refusing to give up the woman he loves
a commoner, the daughter of a Berlin business man, who
is an actress in a movie picture studio, where the 27 year old
prince has been working as a director for several years.
The action seems surprising for the royal family of
Sweden is in itself of commoner origin, being descended from
one of Napoleon's officers, Marshal liernadotte, who was
elected to the throne by the Orebro Riksdag in 1810, as
Charles XIV.
Hernadotte was born as Jean Baptiste Jules Bemadotto,
son of an advocate at I'ao, France, married a relation by
marriage of Joseph Bonaparte and had a brilliant military
record. His election as king was due to the futile hope that
Napoleon would help Sweden recover Finland from Russia.
He made a good king, better than most of those of royal
blood.
liernadotte's descendants married into the royal houses
of EuioK" and have evidently forgotten their plebian origin,
although quite democratic in other respects, engaging in
industry and the arts with more than the average distinc
tion. However the decaying dynasties still cling to the myths
of fuedalism in a rather absurd effort to safeguard the dis
carded divinity of kings.
Prince Sigvard is not the only member of Sweden's royal
family to wed a commoner. He has precedent enough. Count
liernadotte, a cousin, married Estelle Manville of New York
in 1928. His father. Prince Oscar, younger brother of the
King (lustav, renounced his royal status in 1S88 to marry
Ebba -Munch, lady in waiting to the queen. Countess Elsa
liernadotte married Hugo Cedergren, Y. M. C. A. secretary
in 1929. Prince I.enhait, son of the king's second son, mar
ried Karin Missvandt, a commoner.

that the Lindbergh protest and the

blunders.
Such actions merely Infuriated
the administration authorities and
put them In a position where a

The day Democratic House Lead

he happened to have a heavy cold.
That day everything seemed black
to him. All was lost for the ad
ministration. Such announcements are common
in Washington. In winter they arc
called "influenza statements." In
summer, the name for them is "hot-
weather announcements."
The fact, at that time, was that
a soldier bonus bill would certainly
pass the house if a vote could be
obtained. There was some doubt
about the prospects of an early
vote. One or two duplications were
discovered on the vote petition.
only lour or five additional mem.
bers had signed during the pre
vious two weeks. How the neces

ing to be obtained was not then
apparent.
Even If the bill should pass the
house, it would still be a long way
from enactment.
On the soldier Issue the senate
would not be so amendable to out
side political pressure. Not because
senators are any more noble than
house members, but only one-third
of them are up for re-election this
year. All members of the house
must face the soldier vote.
Then if the senate should fall
the administration, there Is always
in the background the insurmount
able obstacle of a presidential veto.

that the companies may be permit'
