Dexter faced strong rebuttals from C C Lincoln Jr and T Austin Finch who said no southern plant pays ten cents an hour and that living standards and wages in the region compare favorably with the north.

Loans Not Cause Budget Deficit in Veteran Payment Debate
Commander J W McMahon of High Point Post 619 VFW rejects claims that cash payments for adjusted service certificates or loans up to 50 percent of their face value worsen the national deficit. He cites Treasury Secretary Mellon noting tax income shortfalls and states the 1924 acknowledged veteran debt could be funded from surplus funds, not adding to the debt.
