-usually Ignored Is that the Bonus is essentially a Bervice pension.
The only man entitled to compensation for war service is the
man who has suffered such disabilities from the war service that
"his power to care for himself has been impaired. The only
pension that should be considered, that Is. is an invalid pension.
' The other Idea that a soldier Is entitled to a money reward Ir
respective of an injury or disability 4s one that Bhowed Its head
soon after the Civil war, only to be immediately hoefced down. It
'was not until half a century had passed, and practically all tht
soldiers of the Civil war had reached their seventieth year, that
the service pension became a part of our system. Probably most
thinking people regarded it as an unwarranted largess even then.
Hut the demand for a bonus a free'glft based not upon Injuries
t)ut merely upon service by millions' of healthy young men, prob
ably half of whom never left American soil, and a demand made
immediately after the ending of the war, is quite a different mat
ter, and President Harding is entitled to public thanks for oppos
ing it."

Ftedman, one of the well-known American critics, "I hope that

Harding administration ever rise to its responsibilities?
