PRESIDENTS BONUS CONCLUS
IONS SANE.
President Harding's conclusion«
that the soldier bonus b-gislalion
should I m * postponed for al least a
f<-w years is wise.
He and Secre
tary Mellon think the country's fin
ancial condition should become all-
bilixed somewhat before a burden
of several billions of dollars «h«ul<l
I m - taken on.
This conclusion will
lie endors-l by all thinking and pa
triotic citizens.
Our country owe* a debt of grat
itude to the boys who went over to
France in defense of the principles
of democracy, and in time, no doubt,
all of th<-M> khaki clad heroes will
I* rewarded by a bonus or liberal
pension.
But there are nearly 100.000.000
people who kept the home fires
burning who arc just as patriotic as
the boys who wore the khaki. Our
government is in duty bound to look
after the welfare of all, the citizen
as well as the soldier.
The boys who wore the blue and
who hurled back the enemies of de
mocracy. who preserved an undi
vided nation. |»erformcd even a
greater service for humanity than
did our world war veterans, ami
who endured greater hard«hi|w to
make treason odious.
Yet the Civil war veteran was not
rewarded with a service pension un
til 25 years after the war closed.
Yet in lew than three years after
dotting the khaki tbe world war vet
erans are striving and even demand
ing that our nation lie financially
embamsw-d in order that a bonus
something to which they are not
justly entitled, but which they are
endeavoring to extort from a grate
ful nation tie given them.
Our nation’s gratitude to the Civil
war veteran has never perished.
Neither will the nation’s gratitude
to the world war veteran perish.
When our country has recovered her
financial breath, then a claim for a
bonus or pension can be made with
Some show of success.
It is somewhat strange that much
of the largest share of the clamor
for the bonus is being made by the
men who never crowed the water
ami whose service was limited to a
few w.-eks or months.
The men
who mw real service in France are
M'.ing but little.
As a matter of
fact, the bovs who never left camps
of instruction are hardly entitled to
either service pension or bonus.
Tr tie, they did their duty, not be-
cause thev really wanted to do it.
but because they hail to. Every
citizen, »»Id <>r young, in lime of
need, can he called upon to render
this duty. They have done so in the
past and will do so in the future if
needed.
President Harding should not be
censured because he conssdera him-
consider the interests of the great
majority before that of a special
few.
Nor should the fact that certain
campaigh promises were made in
fluence his actions. If the promises
were wrong he dors well to refuse
or postpone their fulfillment. He
could not have l»een wise to all the
angles of thia bonus question during
his candidacy.
Now that he has considered the
matter of bonus from all viewpoints
and concluded that such legislation
is not for the first interests of the
nation as a whole, he should be com
mended rather than condemned.
However, the nations of the world
will remember that Woodrow Wilson
gave birth to the idea in his famous
14 points, and point to him as the
great humanitarian statesman of the
world. He gave birth to the idea
and we hope President Harding will
make .1 a living, breathing reality.
