Cold Chills. Naval Washington was interested in seeing what Admiral Coontz would do and say as V. F. W. leader but political Washington took the Sacramento meeting with comparative equanimity. Of vastly greater concern to it was the national convention next week at Portland, Ore. of V. F. W.'s big young brother, the American Legion. Would the Legion, with its 936,000 members, also plump for immediate payment of the Bonus? It seemed certain to do so.

This practice is not to save the face of the industry, but because it is profitable business for the strong companies. Large reserves and ultra-conservative investment...
...would suppose that Senator McKellar of Tennessee would be greatly interested in every measure designed to improve the purchasing power of the outer world, that his chief and his constant concern would be the restoration of the world economy. But not at all. Senator McKellar's notion of how to serve the people of Tennessee is to treat their customers as if they were brigands. And to what end? That the United States Treasury should continue to exact from their customers payments which, if not received, must be borne by the taxpayers of the United States...
