Under the Andy had to serve notice upon owners of these bonds of intention to call six months in His plan was a He expected to pay a part of the and then issue short time certificates at about 3 per cent or to take up the balance and thus cut interest rates from 4% to 8 or ' The scheme was one of wisdom for the Andy did not foresee the coming of the with its attendant This body is infested with a bunch of including republican insurgents and who do not propose that Andy shall have any glory whatever from putting over a finance scheme that would greatly reduce help his record of paying at least a billion of the war debt each they intend to throw as many monkey wrenches into the cylinders of Andy's financing machinery as they they are doing a has been prepared to take up the bonus insurance certificates of World War due until 1945and pay them cash totaling about three and a half billion To do this would absolutely ruin Andy's financing and doubtless would cause him to have to bonds at not less than per or possibly But there is strong support of such a plan in the House of at where the key idea to be to on no matter who gets hit by the The main effort is to discredit the in every way no matter how worthy may be finance course there is an appeal to many people in a scheme to pay money to World War It looks like a good vote getting but is it 7 Pacts right World War soldiers are extensively engaged in and any sort of big payments is going to fall heavily upon those who fought in the At this time proposal to pay these certificates t heavy adverse all business is in a serious de Folks who are hoping for early recovery of economic conditions and well they any governmental expenditure that may plunge us still deeper into business one wishes to be with soldiers who fought our It is just and proper that those who are in dire or sick and crippled by war should be looked after by a grateful But why swing wide open the doors of the Federal treasury and invite all World War veterans to help and particularly those whose deepest interest should be to help the country pull out of a bad financial us be reasonable along this war veteran Be it said that no government on earth ever paid adequately the men who went into Men who work in dynamite plants draw up to per If those who went into the war trenches faced even double the of a dynamite they are entitled to per day for every day of their front line What government can pay and what government ever did pay much real money does any nation owe soldiers of its wars us get down to brass Since nations first existed the young men have had to do the because it could not be done by or men in advancing war has been the unfortunate lot of the young say between the ages of 21 and 81 Whose fault is Surely not that of the people of their Wars have come and and have had to be and for reasons the ordinary man probably never let us state the The young man who was between the ages of 21 and 31 when war broke faced a duty to fight for his his younger brothers and for his home and for his neighbors who could not fight You may call it fighting for his if you was it as much as for his his or father and mother's farm 7 Heally a like the United States is a sort of nebulous thing Facts are the people are the The government is merely a plan of law and social made to protect humanity from death or to conserve land and town lot and the individual possessions of the family as well as the son who took up what do we really owe the young man who goes forth to battle 7 Do we owe or is ho doing an unpleasant duty which fell to him by reason of his and for which there is no adequate Shall we say it was just his to come of fighting age when a war was due 7 That's about the reol and there is no other It cannot be in view of all the that money is really owed for war That a people owe the soldier undying gratitude there is no and the boys generally get the It may not always be expressed in yet the And gratitude cannot be God help any people who have an idea that it we stated a nation owes money to to the sick and to the afflicted of any And the and the and by are not of army and so cannot register for who Stayed at home and worked oh thi farms to raise worked for the Red Cross and gave our made heavy home sacrifices to the are not considered in any government And every statesman admits but for the and their efforts soldiers could not have won battle Let us think of these things when we are talking about good many of the boys who went to war in jobs and Whose It fell to them reason of their by reason of their to be best able physically in 1917 and 1918.
