FOREIGN WARS VETERANS PLAN BONUS BATTLE Repudiate Stand of Legion; Petition to Be Given to Congress. The Veterans of Foreign Wars will fight for immediate payment of the adjusted compensation certificates, according to announcement made Saturday by Arthur G. Gresham, national legislative deputy. The veterans will push the bonus Issue, in spite of the attitude of President Hoover as announced in his speech before the American Legion convention at Detroit last week, and in spite of the stand taken by the legion, opposing immediate payment. According to Gresham, the vote of the legion is “not representative of the rank and file of the exservice men.” The V. F. W. will carry the fight to congress, he said. Proof of Sentiment “Proof of an overwhelming public sentiment favorable to immediate cash payment will be presented to the next session of congress in the form of a petition carrying 10,000,000 signatures, which are to be gathered in a nation-wide canvass conducted by our organization.” Gresham pointed out that unless the bonus is paid in full at once the average certificate, valued at approximately SI,OOO and bearing a 50 per cent loan value, will be worth only $75 in 1945, because of interest deductions. Denounces Appeal The V. F. W. official denounced those who appealed to the veteran’s patriotism in asking that payment of the certificates be delayed. “They are not content with the fact that he was prepared to lay down his life, if necessary, as proof of his love of country. “It Is a cheap trick, this appeal to patriotism, and one frequently resorted to by those desperate for a logical defense.”
