The case of the disabled vet

official, intricate, legal prob
lem, - involving many technical
complications. Under given sets
of facts, prescribed by law, the
government can extend legally
specified

or vocational training.
W ith in
its necessary limits, tbe gov
ernment oh the whole has done
well, and is tending steadily to
do better.
I t does not and
cannot have completely intimate
contact with the disabled man,
his family, his needs.
The prpblem is that of re
storing to physical, mental and
spiritual health and to a status
of self-support and self-respect,
a man who has suffered tho
wounds, disease and shock in
cident to war. Government ma

the Legion and the magniflcient
men who have rallied to Its aid

The providing of an American

It needs no discussion.
