Baruch Compares Veteran Benefits Across Nations
Bernard Baruch told Congress that U S veterans benefits are more liberal than in Britain and its dominions. He cited higher discharge pay in Canada and New Zealand protection from inflation, plus school subsidies and reinstatement rules. He said the U S program aims to be ready made and universal rather than rank based, urging consideration of improvements. He noted Canada tops discharge pay at 980 for single veterans and 7100 for married with any child, with other dominions offering higher top rates than the U S ubiquitous 300. The comparison also covered unemployment compensation and the general living standards shaping benefits.
