Ä IO. OREGON. JULY 21. 1921 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 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. Jl_ DR. A. G.
