Rehabilitation of Veterans a “Failure”
U/ASIlINqrrON.—The present sys-
ff texn of rehabilitating disabled war
veterans is denounced by the Ameri-
can I^egion as a “failure” which should
he remedied by consolidating under a
single head the three government
agencies now engaged in that work.
The Legion memorial asserts that
the function of the three agencies—
the bnreau of war risk insurance, the
federal board for vocational education
and the United States puDlic health
service—’“must be co-ordinated, their
machinery decentralized, and all three
placed under the common control.”
“To do this,” the memorial says,
“there must be a new law which shall
place the unified organization under
control of a single administrative head.”
For this new organization the Le-
gion asks an appropriation sufficient
to buy, build, equip and enlarge hos-
pitals sufficient to provide facilities
for all the men now under hospital
treatment. Bills providing for this have
been introduced in both houses of
congress at the behest of the legion.
The memorial says the. United
States h^ts been more liberal than any*
other nation in its provisions for the
disabled soldiers, but that it had
failed in a large measure to make
these provisions available. This is at-
tributed to "an astonishing state of
divided responsibility and wasted ef-
fort among the government agencies.
“In the rehabilitation of a disabled
man there are three needs—medical
treatment, vocational training and fi-
nancial support,” the memorial pro-
ceeds. “The government has recog-
nized the three needs, but overlooks
the fact that they are the simultaneous
needs of a man, not of three different
men or of one man at three different
times. It makes three problems ont
of what really ‘s one three-part prob-
lem."
Temporary Bar Against Foreign Goods
•T'O PREVENT the United States
1 from becoming a dumping ground
for foreign goods before a new tarif;
bill can be perfected, a move is de
veloping tn congress for re-enactment
of the Payne-AIdrich tariff law as soon
as possible after March 4.
The plan Is to use the Payne-Al-'
drich law as a temporary dike against
the flood of foreign goods that Europe
is preparing to rush into American
markets now unprotected. Those who
foster the movement propose that the
old law should be re-enacted- only as
an emergency barriert to remain effec-
tive uutfl the Fordney-Penrose tariff
can be made law, probably late in
the summer.
Representative Watson of Pennsyl-
vania is one of the supporters of this
plan, and he has been gaining con-
verts to the Idea rapidly.
Consideration of the new tariff thns
far finds Republican members of the
house way* and means committee in
complete accord In favoring ample pro-
tection for chemical Industries which
gained a foothold in the United States
daring the war. In the recent hear-
ings Schedule A of the tariff law, re-
lating to chemicals, oils and paints,
was discussed
In the hearings on the chemical
schedule a change in the basis of val-
uation in calculating ad valorem rates
of duty was urged. Henry Howard,
chairman of the executive committee
of the Manufacturing Chemists’ Asso-
ciation of the United States; Nathan
M. Clark, representing the Pyroxolln
Manufacturers’ association, and also
a number of others, proposed that the
domestic value rather than the for-
eign value be taken as the basis of
any rates that are in any way regu-
lated by the value of the Imported
article. \
Representative Fordney, chairman
of the committee, and other Republi-
cans on the committee showed a de-
cided sympathy with this reversal of
the policy which has been in effect for
more than a century.
Congress May Reduce Naval Estimate
raEPRESENTATIVE Kelley of Michi-
XV gan, chairman of the house naval
subcommittee on appropriations, af-
ter a conference with President-elect
Harding, will propose to the committee
u 40 pm* cent cut in the naval estimate
for ship construction.
Representative Kelley said he was
giving his own views and made no
attempt to reflect the opinions of the
President-elect, but declared he
thought the policy should be to grad-
ually complete the naval building prn
gram of 1916, but with a view to pro-
portionate disarmament of the nations.
“The coming year in my opinion,”
he aaHL “should be a normal, healthy,
naval building year. The navy is ask
•ng for $184^4)0,000 for new ship*
done—something more than thirty, in-
luding six battle cruisers, ten battle-
fcips end ten scout cruisers. As this
work goes forward now the navy is
spending about $7,000,000 or $8,000,000
u month. This rate, I believe, is rapid
enough to carry on the necessary con-
struction, and about $100,000,000 ought
to 6e enough to carry out the building
program.
“I told Senator Harding that in any
discussion of the reduction of arma-
ment I could not see how we could
avoid building these ships, for It
would cost as much now to discon-
tinue building as it would to finish the
Job.”
Representative Kelley said propor-
tionate armament reduction “should
be made off the bottom."
“We should abandon the old ships
and old guns,” be said, “in* any dis-
armament scheme, Pvery nation will
keep Its new we&pcr .-
Disarmament is scheduled for
lengthy discussion In both branches
of congress. In the senate the for-
eign relations committee will resume
consideration the Borah and Walsh
resolutions for naval disarmament

te straighten ont Cuba's tangled polit

bans have great confidence in General
Crowder.
The Menocal administration pro-
fesses deep distrust of the schemes
for Cuban financial reform. These
schemes are alleged to favor absorp-
tion of the tottering Havana banks
by Wall street financial Interests and
the consequent profits of millions by
them from Cuba’s distress.
Cuba owes her present financial
troubles ’argely to speculation in su-
gar when the world shortage was ac-
centuated through the hoarding by
profiteers, which sent the price of
sjgur to 18 cents per pound on New
?«rk docks. Cuban planters and mill
owners reaped fortunes overnight, but
this onlj whetted thetr appetites, and
they formed a combine whtoh was
pledged to withhold 1,000,000 bags of
sugar from the market until the price
should go to 28 cents or more.

The sugar and related Industries
which had ordered large amounts of
machinery and supplies from America
C. O. D., now were unable to pay for
the goods and the docks and wharves
soon were piled high with goods, while
the harbor was filling with more ships
whose cargoes neither could be dis-
charged nor paid for.
While the harbor congestion brought
commerce and industry to a stand-
still, a survey of the situation dis-
closed the collapse of the sugar boom

They were full of 18-eent sugar paper.
To save the Insolvent banks from
immediate confession of bankruptcy
and to avert runs on the solvent In-

moratorium.
