WASHINGTON, 15." C. Secretary
Mellon has frilled to consider in his
etttlmatea oP anticipated revenue the
sum of approximately, $160,000,000
annually accruing as Interest on the
British war debt, twice as much as
is needed to pay the adjusted com
pensation hill, according to John R.
Quinn, national commander of the
American- Legion.
In mu'kliig this declaration, Com
mander Qtlinn added that Secretary
Mellon hatl? also failed to take into
account lh0' estimated savings of
$220,000,000 to $250,000,000 which
economies of national administration
will produce.
The statements wore made at the
all-day session of Legion's National
Leglttlatlve committee, held at the
hotel Washington when plans for a
nation-wide demonstration by ex-service
men were laid.
"The secretary of the treasury is
the greatest enemy of the ex-service
men in this country," CommamluT
Quinn told the delegates from forty
eight states. "Here stands a great
administrative official of the govern
ment persistently lobbying to defeat
a jispec-iflc measure of legislation a
" measure which the majority of duly
elected legislators repeatedly have de
clined should be enacted Into law.
: :He has ; '.consistently ultered the
estimated ;iot . of meeting adjusted
compensation, but even his biggest
f.Htimatea t(:n be met out of the in
terest on the iiritlsh war debt and
the economies effected In administra
tion. , , j
There Is about $160,000,000 a year
paid on the dibt and Mellon's latest
cost estimate Is $476,000,000 for the
first four years, an average of a lit- j
tie less than $119,000,000 a year. It
will uot cost that much, us Mellon un
doubtedly knows, hut meeting him on
his own ground, we have more than
enough to pay the eost without in
flicting hardships on any class of
people, and without hindering tax re
duction, it can be seen that taxes
can be reduced,! 1 want them to h
reduced und so does the legion. And
,M-lhn Is insulting our . intelligence
when he says that there can he no
tax reduction if the adjusted compen
sation bill is paid."
CHICAOO, Feb. 13.(By the As
sociated Press) Declaring that "law
enforcement is a realltv in Chicago'
Mayor E. Dever, whose campaign
