WHAT THE VETERAN'S
BUREAU IS DOING FOR THE
BOYS.
In connection with the disola-
tion of the soldier bonus the
question about the government's
care for the disabled boys is fre-
quently asked. Sometimes the
Assertion is made that the gov-
ernment is doing but little for
them. It will no doubt be of in-
terest to our readers to hear
what the head of the Veterans'
Bureau has to say about the
matter. He is quoted in the Lit-
erary Digest as follows:
"1. Paying out $1,000,000 cash
every day, including Sun-
day, directly into the hands of
the ex-service man or his de-
pendents.
"2. Providing, without coat,
hospital care and treatment to
80,000 veterans. This care in-
cludes board and lodging and re-
presents an expenditure by the
Government of $60,000,000 per
annum.
"8. Giving vocational train-
ing, without cost, to 100,000 dis-
abled ex-Bervice men at an ex-
penditure for tuition and super-
vision of (80,000,000 per an-
num.
"4. Mailing out 650,000
checks every month, represent-
ing $42,000,000.
"6. Conducting an insurance
business for over 600,000 ex-ser-
vice men, .without any cost of
administrttfon to them, at pre-
mium rates below that of pri-
vate companies'fbr like policies.
Insurance in force, $3,500,000,-
000.
"Conducting over 50,000 me-
dical examinstions every month.
"7. Giving outside treatment
In cases where hospitaliation is
not required to 20,000 ex-service
men every month.
"8. Receiving 1,000 new
claims every day, in addition to
the 1,200,000 on file; employing
4,000 ex-service men and women
in carrying out the work.
"9. Requiring for 1922 expen-
ditures in behalf of the disabled
ex-service men —$610,000,000—
more than the entire expendi-
ture of the whole United States
in any year prior to 1897
"10. The United States of
America is already doing more
for its disabled veterans than
any country in the world, des-
pite the fact that their lasses
were far heavier than ours.
"In view of these figures,
statements that the Government
is not taking care of its disabled
men will not hold water. In ad-
trol, in Federal hospitals, 22,440
■R
take into account pati-
ents In contract hospitals, who
now number 9,066.
"There are also under con-
struction 7,692 beds which will
be ready for occupancy within
the next few months, and the
Government is at present con-
templating at least 2,500 more
beds under the new Langley bilL
So ultimately the Government
will have under its direct admin-
istration hospital capacity for a
minimum of 32,000 patients,
which is estimated to be tjhe
peak of the load "
